Background: Nutritional intervention program is an integral and essential component of diabetes management and care. It aims to optimize diabetes control and to prevent complications. People with diabetes are advised to implement healthy diet; dietary changes including modifications in food habits and meal patterns for life long. However, a significant amount of patients remain with limited control. Study aim and objectives: The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the Diabetes Care Program in controlling diabetes among type 2 diabetic patients registered at the diabetes care center at Augusta Victoria Hospital. The objectives were to examine the effect of nutrition counseling on HbA1c level and the effect of the program on patients’ physical health, body mass index throughout the follow up period and to identify patients socio-demographic characteristics in determining her/his response to the program. Methodology: This evaluative file based study was conducted on 746 patients’ with type 2 diabetes who were followed at the Diabetes Care Center of Augusta Victoria Hospital between years 2005 to 2009. Four visits were taken for every patient including the first and final results, but the period between these visits were not regular and similar for all patients. Personal, medical and family history, physical examination and laboratory evaluation data were extracted from the patients’ files. Results: Analysis of patients' data showed that the mean age of the patients was 57 years ± 9.34(mean ± S.D). Of the study population, 84% were married and 53% were females. 74% did not work, 15% were illiterate, the mean duration of having diabetes was 10.08 years and 57.2% had MOH insurance.41% of the patients were given a diet of 1000 Calories during the study period .82% of the patients were classified as with light physical activity in the 1st visit and 76% were in the 4th visit. The mean HbA1c in the 1st visit was9.08±2.1 and in the 4th visit 8.46 ±1.7. The mean BMI in the 1st visit was 31.2±5.3 and in the 4th visit 31.9 ±5.3. The study identified factors associated with good glycemic control, as measured by HbA1c levels. The percentage of patients with optimal control (HbA1c <7%) increased from 19.2% at the first visit to22.1% at the 4th visit. 60.7% of the patients had good change in HbA1c between the 1st and 4th visit. The multivariate logistic regression model for the study population (n=746) showed that between the first and last IV recorded visit, being registered in the center was associated with the good change in HbA1c but was inversely associated with good change in MAU. Age, residency, type of insurance, smoking, BMI, physical activity, cholesterol level and caloric intake did not show any significant associations with good change in HbA1c in this period of study. Conclusion: This is the first study done in the Diabetes Care Center which identified the determinants of the change in HbA1c and evaluate the program which shows that there was an irregular follow up period between the visits of the patients, which was shown in the results as an important factor in determining the change in HbA1c level. Results recommends the need for modification of the dietary program through involving the patients in this modification to increase their adherence to the program , system of appointment for follow up and evaluation of the compliance of patients with the diet, physical activity and as well as the medication.

(AL-Quds University, 2013-05-11) عزيز سلمان سلامه العطاونه; azeez salman salamah attawna; لينا الخيري; ; asma imam; halima al-sabbah
Abstract Background: Good nutritional knowledge and practice among nurses is essential for providing a high quality of care to patients. There are no known studies to date that have evaluated nutritional knowledge and practice among Palestinian nurses. Objectives: To assess the nutritional knowledge and selected practices regarding healthy food and selected clinical nutritional items among nurses working at East Jerusalem hospitals, furthermore to assess nurses' nutritional knowledge regarding healthy balanced diet, macronutrient, and micronutrient, and to assess nurses' nutritional practices toward their patients. Methods: This is a descriptive cross sectional study, included all nurses who work in AlMakased Hospital, Saint Joseph Hospital, Saint John Ophthalmology Hospital, Augusta Victoria Hospital, and Red Crescent Hospital, and have direct contact with patients. 407 nurses participated in the study out of 466 nurses. Data on nutritional knowledge and practices were collected by valid and reliable (Cronbach Alpha 0.81) self-administered questionnaire, during the period September 2011 to November 2011. The relationships between variables were analyzed by using the chi-square test (χ 2 test). The data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), version 18. Findings: The vast majority of the nurses participated in the study (86.8%) had a fair level of overall nutritional knowledge. Most of the participants had a good level of knowledge regarding balanced diet, and had fair level of knowledge about micronutrients like calcium and iron and factors affecting their absorption. However, the participants had a poor level of knowledge regarding selected clinical nutritional items. Significant relationships were seen between nutritional knowledge regarding gender (P= 0.025), (female nurses had better level than male nurses), curriculum content to nutritional courses (P=0.026), participant method of training in the nutrition courses during their study (P=0.012), and participant rating of the importance of having basic nutritional knowledge for nurses (P=0.001). More than 85% of participants had good level of nutritional practice in this study. Significant relationships were seen between nutritional practice regarding the hospitals were participants work in (P=0.01), the presence of nutritional courses in the participant's IV nursing education (P=0.02), and participant's perceived level of nutritional knowledge (0.001). Conclusion: Result showed a poor level of knowledge in selected clinical nutritional items, thus indicating a need for further training in areas like selected clinical nutritional items, and food groups. Furthermore, there is a need for more detailed studies into factors affecting nurses' nutritional knowledge and practices.

Laboratory workers are exposed to a wide range of hazards associated with the materials they employ and the methods they use in the course of their work. These occupational hazards are chemical, physical, biological, psychosocial, and ergonomics hazards. This study aims to assess the exposure to occupational health hazards and safety for workers in Palestinian governmental hospitals in the West Bank. Cross sectional study was conducted using self-administered 5-point Likert Scale questionnaire. The study sample consists of all laboratory workers in the governmental hospitals. The total number of the study sample was 164 laboratory workers, 146 responded with a response rate 89%.The results of the study showed that 75% of the participants have exposed to biological hazards, 70% exposed to chemical hazards,64% exposed to physical hazards,60% exposed to psychological hazards, and 52% exposed to ergonomic hazards. The results also showed that the biological hazards were the more severe with 68%, chemical hazards 64%, psychological hazards58%, physical hazards51%, and ergonomic hazards 49%. The results showed that the participants have a very high degree of knowledge about occupational hazards. Results also showed that the degree of performance information and satisfaction was medium, and the laboratory workers apply safety measures. Moreover, there are no statistically significant differences of occupational hazards according to social status variable, educational level variable. Similarly, there are no statistically significant differences of occupational hazards perception and knowledge, safety measures, performance information and satisfaction domains, according to age, monthly income, and years of experience variables. On the other hand, there are significant differences in the work environment, according to age,gender, monthly income, and years of experience variables. The results showed that there are no significant differences of safety measures and performance information and satisfaction domains, attributed to gender variable, and there are significant differences of occupational hazards perception and knowledge domain, according to gender variable.VII Finally, the results showed that the participants have a very high degree of knowledge about occupational hazards, means of prevention and safety that related to work environment are available, more than half of participants exposed to hazard regardless of the type of hazards, where the biological hazards was the highest and more severe. According to the study results, several recommendations have been suggested including creating a specialized section for occupational health and safety, linked directly to senior management, to ensure the provision of specialized committees and supervisors to provide follow- and control means and safety procedures

Large epidemiological data from many countries confirm that contaminated chicken meat contribute significantly to foodborne diseases worldwide. Thus, reduction of contamination of raw chicken meat would have a large impact in reducing incidence of these foodborne diseases. Therefore, our study was designed to investigate the prevalence of the major human illnesses causing bacteria, particularly, Salmonella, Campylobacter, and Listeria monocytogenes in the retail chicken meat in West Bank, Palestine. To achieve this goal, one hundred and two random chicken meat samples were collected from different retail markets and governorates in the West Bank, Palestine. They were studied for total aerobic bacterial content, and for the presence of human pathogens such as Salmonella, Campylobacter, and Listeria monocytogenes using conventional culturing and biochemical methods. Our results indicate that: (6/102) 5.9% of the samples contain Listeria monocytogenes, (21/102) 20.6% contain Salmonella Spp. and (37/102) 36.27% contain Campylobacter Spp. Samples containing Campylobacter Spp were further subdivided to Campylobacter coli which was present in (21/102) 20.59%, Campylobacter jejuni which was present in (11/102) 10.78%, and Campylobacter lari which was present in (5/102) 4.90 % of the total samples. Comparing our results to similar studies done on raw chicken meat in other countries, the prevalence of these pathogens in West Bank, Palestine lies within the range. For example: the highest prevalence of Salmonella (22/40) 55% is in Spain and the lowest (3/205) 1.5% is in north Ireland, the highest prevalence of Campylobacter (393/448) 91.8% is in Turkey and the lowest (32/99) 32.3% is in South Africa, and the highest prevalence of Listeria monocytogenes (17/46) 37% is in Japan and the lowest 3/66 (4.5%) is in Brazil. These variations in isolation rates between countries depend on the country where the study was carried out, the chicken breeding environment and methods, processing and marketing procedures, the sampling plan and the sensitivity of the methodology used in the study. Statistical correlation analysis was done to see if there is any significant relationship between the presence of these pathogens and the total aerobic plate count, carcass gross weight, governorate from which the sample was taken, slaughtering time, and chicken meat market type. The results of this analysis showed that only the prevalence of Salmonella significantly differ between those samples bought from poultry market or street side poultry market, while none of the other studied pathogens is significantly associated with the market type. Also none of the other studied factors is significantly associated with the presence of these three pathogens. In contrast significant relationship (P<0.001) was found between the total aerobic plate count, the slaughtering time, marketing type, and governorate of sample origin. Therefore, based on these results, setting up a cost-effective pathogens monitoring and surveillance systems, augmented by good agricultural and hygienic practices and well-designed longitudinal research activities on the whole chicken meat production chain, are strongly recommended.
