Differences in nutrition knowledge of the elderly according to nutrition risk levels, levels of education, age and genderRoth, Ruth A. January 1995 (has links)
The purpose of the study was to examine nutrition knowledge of elderly congregate meal site participants with particular interest directed towards nutrition risk levels and the demographic characteristics of education, age, and gender. The population utilized in this study were 120 elderly, both male and female, over the age of 60 years who attended ten congregate meal sites in Allen County, Indiana and who volunteered to participate. The researcher administered a 25 question nutrition knowledge survey and the 10 question Determine Your Nutritional Health Checklist at the meal sites. The study was designed to determine if there was a significant difference in nutrition knowledge among elderly at congregate meal sites who exhibit varying nutrition risk, education, and age levels and between elderly men and women. The conclusion was that there was a significant difference between nutrition knowledge of men and women with women scoring more correct answers on the survey. Although not shown statistically other preliminary findings suggest the need for further research; a greater proportion of females than males were in the lowest nutrition risk level; the 60-74 years olds had a higher nutrition knowledge average score than did the two older groups. Further, those with 9-11 years of education and in the lowest nutrition risk level (all females) had the highest nutrition knowledge score; and males with less than eight years of education had the lowest nutrition knowledge score and a preponderance of those were in the moderate or high risk level. The researcher also concluded that more nutrition education is needed for these participants, but it must be geared to their learning level to be effective. / Department of Family and Consumer Sciences

The influence of support on divorce adjustment : an evaluationBearden, Stephen R. 03 May 1994 (has links)
Many divorcing persons turn to treatment programs hoping for assistance in
managing the process of divorce. Treatment programs include individual as well as
group process models. One of the goals of most group process programs is to
generate peer support which in turn is hoped to facilitate the process of divorce
adjustment. Evaluations of such programs are few and limited.
This study is an evaluation of a group process divorce adjustment
intervention entitled, Divorce Recovery Workshop. This intervention includes
education and support components. Two different methods of workshop delivery
are compared and analyzed to determine the influence of support on the process of
divorce adjustment. One method includes a small group component, the other does
not. This workshop, offered during 1992/3, drew participants from the greater
Salem, Oregon area who had recently divorced.
This study examines four areas of divorce adjustment, comparing the two
methods of workshop delivery, as well as participant experiences of support. These
four included depression, degree of control, self-esteem, and persistence of
attachment. Participants were administered pre-workshop and post-workshop
questionnaires.
Standardized measures included the Center for Epidemiological Studies
Depression Scale (Radloff, 1977), the Rosenberg Scale (Rosenberg, 1965) for
assessing self-esteem, and the Acceptance of Marital Termination Scale (Thompson
and Spanier, 1983). Nonstandardized measures included the Degree of Control
After Divorce Scale, the Support List adapted from a social support measure
(Bengtson and Mangen, 1988), the Support Scale adapted from a medical
intervention peer support measure (Pratt, 1984), and a brief Satisfaction with
Support Scale.
This evaluation revealed positive outcomes for participants in the four areas
of divorce adjustment regardless of method of program delivery. Participants also
showed increased experiences of support attributable to the intervention.
However, additional research is needed to establish the relationship between
support and divorce adjustment. The lack of a control group should lead to caution
to generalizing these results. / Graduation date: 1994
