Dietary advice in chronic care: Comparing traditional Chinese and western medicine practiced in mainland China
2022, Social Science and MedicineCitation Excerpt :This number is higher in hypertension (35%) and cancer encounters (45%) (Demark-Wahnefried et al., 2000; Mellen, 2004). As Kreuter et al. (1997) stated, the provision of dietary advice is strongly predicted by the patient's health conditions rather than the actual health-related behaviours. Some studies suggest that health professionals may not have sufficient confidence or competency to offer dietary advice (Lockyer et al., 2016).
Trends in Lifestyle Counseling for Adults With and Without Diabetes in the U.S., 2005–2015
2019, American Journal of Preventive MedicinePrevalence and Correlates of Receiving Medical Advice to Increase Physical Activity in U.S. Adults: National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2013–2016
2019, American Journal of Preventive MedicineCitation Excerpt :Other professional organizations have released position statements that have addressed the importance of PA counseling, including the American Academy of Family Physicians, the American College of Sports Medicine, and the American Heart Association.6–9 Despite these national priorities and recommendations, there is limited recent information on the association between patient health and demographic characteristics and receiving PA counseling in healthcare settings.10–12 Therefore, the aim of the current study is to examine health and demographic characteristics of U.S. health care–utilizing adults associated with receipt of medical advice to increase their PA.
Student pharmacist perceptions of therapeutic lifestyle change (TLC) counseling abilities and personal health status
2016, Currents in Pharmacy Teaching and LearningCitation Excerpt :Unfortunately, the literature shows there is still a disconnect between patients and providers in regards to effectiveness and availability of provided services. Only 39% of primary care office visits were found to adequately address TLC topics such as weight, diet, and physical activity, indicating a need for improved services.4–7 In addition, a study by Bleich et al.8 revealed that only one-third of obese patients receive a formal diagnosis of obesity or lifestyle counseling from a physician.
Preceptor perceptions of fourth year student pharmacists' abilities regarding patient counseling on therapeutic lifestyle changes
2016, Currents in Pharmacy Teaching and LearningCitation Excerpt :However, other studies indicate patients having a different perception of the availability and utility of such services. Current research shows only 39% of office visits adequately addressed topics such as weight, diet, and other therapeutic lifestyle change (TLC) care, indicating a need for improved services.4–7 The U.S. Preventative Services Task Force (USPSTF) also advocates that implementation of services and programs for subsequent achievement of the Healthy People 2020 objectives be carried out via a collaborative health care team including primary care clinicians, nutritionists, dietitians, and other specialists.8
