131	The experiences, challenges and coping resources of AIDS-orphans heading households in an urban area in the Free State Gono, Melania 01 1900 (has links) HIV and AIDS related deaths have left numerous children heading households as the number of adults dying from this pandemic increased significantly. The goal of this study was to gain an in-depth understanding of the experiences, challenges and coping resources of AIDS-orphans heading households in an urban area in Free State using a qualitative study. The research revealed that the level of suffering faced by these children began with their parents’ illness. This was further worsened by the death of the parents. These children are in most instances not absorbed by their extended families as the traditional safety nets are stretched to their limits. Children heading households were forced to take up adult responsibilities prematurely and as such encounter challenges on daily basis. The study concluded that the child headed families are a reality in South Africa and need lots of support from the government and local communities. / Social Work / M.A. (Social Work) HIV and AIDS Orphan Child headed household Family Urban area Experiences Challenges Coping Resources and child 362.1969792009685

133	GRAVIDA KVINNORS INTAG AV KOSTTILLSKOTT : En kvantitativ studie med fokus på järn och probiotika / PREGNANT WOMEN´S INTAKE OF DIETARY SUPPLEMENT : A quantitative study focusing on iron and probiotics Lange Bålman, Miriam January 2019 (has links) Sammanfattning Bakgrund Vitamin- och mineralbrister hos gravida kvinnor kan leda till missfall och allvarliga störningar i barnets utveckling. Moderns tarmflora överförs med stor sannolikhet till barnet under förlossningen och kan därför innebära ett viktigt steg i utvecklingen av barnets tarmflora. En tänkbar lösning för att säkra ett adekvat intag kan vara konsumtion av kosttillskott och probiotika. I dagsläget finns osäkra uppgifter om hur många gravida kvinnor som intar tillskott. Syfte Att undersöka hur många gravida kvinnor i Västerbottens län som valde att inta kosttillskott, främst järn och probiotika, samt om det fanns en skillnad mellan olika faktorer och intag. Metod En kvantitativ tvärsnittsstudie där gravida kvinnor (n=1473) från Northpop-studien i Västerbottens län svarade på ett frågeformulär gällande intag av kosttillskott och faktorer som ålder, utbildning, kostregim etc. De statistiska tester som användes var Chi-2-test, oberoende t-test och Mann Whitney U-test. Materialet analyserades i SPSS. Signifikansnivån sattes till p<0,05. Resultat Majoriteten av deltagarna svarade att de intog kosttillskott. Faktorer som ökade intaget av kosttillskott hos gravida kvinnor var högre ålder (p=0,030) jämfört med lägre ålder, högre utbildningsnivå (p=0,006) jämfört med lägre utbildningsnivå och vegetarisk/vegansk kost (p=0,021) jämfört med blandkost. Femtiofem procent uppgav att de intog järntillskott. De faktorer som ökade intaget av järntillskott hos gravida kvinnor var vegetarisk/vegansk kost (p=0,001) jämfört med blandkost. Probiotika intogs av 2 procent. Ett högre intag av probiotika sågs hos personer boende i stadsområde (p=0,024) jämfört med övriga boenderegioner samt de som åt vegetarisk/vegansk kost (p=0,001) jämfört med blandkost. Slutsats Majoriteten av deltagarna intog någon typ av kosttillskott, hälften intog järntillskott och en liten andel intog probiotika. Lågutbildade, yngre, de som äter blandkost och bor utanför stadsområde verkar vara i riskgruppen för att inte inta kosttillskott. / Abstract Background Vitamin and mineral deficiencies in pregnant women can lead to miscarriage and serious disturbances in children’s development. The intestinal flora of the mother is most likely transmitted to the child during childbirth and may lay the foundation for the child's health. One possible solution to ensure an adequate intake may be the consumption of dietary supplements and probiotics. At present, there is insufficient data on supplement consumption among pregnant women. Objective The purpose of the study was to examine how many pregnant women in Västerbotten County chose to consume dietary supplements, mainly iron and probiotics, and whether there was a difference between different factors and intake. Method A quantitative cross-sectional study where pregnant women (n=1473) from the Northpop-study in Västerbotten County responded to a questionnaire regarding consumption of dietary supplements and factors such as age, education, diet etc. The material was analyzed in SPSS with Chi-2-test, independent T-Test and Mann-Whitney U-Test. Using significance level <0.05. Results The majority of participants, 90 percent, responded that they consumed dietary supplements. The factors that increased the intake of dietary supplements in pregnant women were higher age (p=0.030), higher education (p=0.006) and vegetarian/vegan diet (p=0.021). Iron was reported to be consumed by 804 people, 55 percent. The factors that increased the intake of iron supplement in pregnant women were vegetarian/vegan diet (p=0.001). Probiotics were consumed by 25 people, 2 percent. Living in urban areas (p=0.024) and eating vegetarian/vegan diet (p=0.002) increased consumption of probiotics. Conclusion The majority of participants chose to consume some type of dietary supplement, half of the participants consumed iron supplements and a small part consumed probiotics. It appears that pregnant women who are low educated, younger, eating an omnivorous diet and living outside urban areas are in the risk zone for not consuming dietary supplements. / Northpop Pregnant pregnant women woman pregnancy children fetus dietary supplements supplements iron iron supplements probiotics probiotic supplements intestinal flora bacteria gut vitamin vitamins minerals minerals B12 folate diet education low educated highly educated region age intake diet regime northpop Västerbotten Västerbotten County Council Umeå University Umeå Sweden Miriam Lange Bålman Miriam Lange Balman science economist vegetarian vegan mixed diet omnivore urban area country side quantitative nutrition diet dietician dietetics quantitative nutrition diet Chi-2 test independent t-test Mann Whitney U-test Multivitamins (mixture of vitamins) Multi-minerals (blend of minerals) Probiotics Omega-3 fish oil Blutsaft A- vitamin B vitamin vitamin C vitamin D vitamin E folic acid iron calcium beta-carotene vitamin B complex selenium antioxidants zinc magnesium q10 exercise physical activity lifestyle bachelor essay Gravid gravida kvinnor kvinna graviditet foster barn kosttillskott tillskott järn järntillskott probiotika probiotikatillskott tarmflora bakterier tarm vitamin vitaminer mineral mineraler B12 folat kost utbildning lågutbildad högutbildad boenderegion stad landsbygd ålder intag kostregim northpop Västerbotten Västerbottens läns landsting Umeå universitet Umeå Sverige Miriam Lange Bålman Miriam Lange Bålman kostvetenskap kostekonom vegetarisk vegetariskt vegan veganskt blandkost stadsområde kvantitativ näring samhällsrelevans dietist dietetik Chi-2-test oberoende t-test Mann Whitney U-test Multivitaminer (blandning av vitaminer) Multimineraler (blandning av mineraler) Probiotika Omega-3 fiskolja Blutsaft A-vitamin B-vitamin C-vitamin D-vitamin E-vitamin Folsyra Järn Kalcium Betakaroten Vitamin B-komplex Selen Antioxidanter Zink Magnesium Q10 träning fysisk aktivitet livsstil uppsats kandidatexamen Nutrition and Dietetics Näringslära
