PICOT Question for Preventing Childhood Obesity

Obesity is a pressing public health issue with serious long-term consequences. Obesity is a chronic medical condition characterized by excessive body fat. A body mass index (BMI) of 25 or above is considered overweight, and a BMI of 30 or higher is considered obese (WHO, 2021). Obesity has witnessed a global upswing, with a particularly alarming impact on children, sparking significant public health apprehension. Childhood obesity has become a pressing global concern, transcending the confines of adulthood. The alarming trend exposes children to immediate obesity-related health risks and casts a shadow over their future. Children are categorized as overweight or obese based on their BMI exceeding age and gender-specific thresholds. Precise height and weight assessments form a crucial aspect of routine physical examinations. Childhood obesity sets the stage for a lifelong battle, predisposing youngsters to adult obesity and a spectrum of non-communicable diseases like diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and osteoarthritis in adulthood.

Childhood obesity is driven by complex interplay of genetic, environmental, and behavioral factors. Genetic predisposition increases child's susceptibility to obesity. Environmental factors entail easy access to high-calorie, low-nutrient foods, and sedentary lifestyles influenced by modern technology and urbanization (Lister et al., 2023). Lower-income families may have limited access to fresh, nutritious foods and safe places for physical activity. Advertising of unhealthy foods and beverages targeted at children further exacerbates the problem. Behavioral factors are the psychological factors driving stress and emotional eating that hinder healthy habits. Addressing this burgeoning crisis demands urgent, comprehensive action to safeguard the well-being of our youngest generation and mitigate the far-reaching health consequences they face in adulthood. This paper explores the problem of obesity and identifies effective prevention strategies are essential to mitigate the growing concern using the PICOT framework.

Problem Statement

Childhood obesity rates have been steadily increasing worldwide. The global prevalence of overweight and obese children has risen dramatically in recent years. The World Health Organization (2021) reports that in 2020, 39 million children under five were overweight or obese. Over the past four decades, the global count of school-age children and adolescents grappling with obesity has skyrocketed by over tenfold, surging from 11 million to a staggering 124 million by 2016. Additional 216 million fell into the category of being overweight but not yet classified as obese in 2016. The numbers are projected to substantially increase by 2030.

The primary driver of obesity and overweight issues worldwide stems from a crucial energy imbalance: consuming calories exceeding those expended. The global challenge is exacerbated by an alarming surge in the consumption of energy-dense foods rich in fats and sugars and rise in physical inactivity (Fox et al., 2019). The latter can be attributed to the increasingly sedentary nature of many job roles, shifts in transportation methods, and the expanding urban landscape. These dietary habits and activity levels shifts often result from broader environmental and societal changes linked to development.

Childhood obesity elevates the risk of numerous health issues, encompassing asthma, sleep apnea, bone and joint problems, type 2 diabetes, and precursors to heart disease like high blood pressure. It also exerts substantial impact on healthcare costs. In adulthood, individuals grappling with obesity face increased susceptibility to stroke, various cancers, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, premature mortality, and mental health conditions such as clinical depression and anxiety. Therefore, childhood obesity carried over to adulthood will expose them to these problems. The problem affects both developed and developing nations. However, gender disparities are relatively minimal. Addressing the escalating obesity epidemic necessitates a comprehensive approach considering genetic predispositions and environments that encourage unhealthy behaviors. However, identifying the most effective strategies and interventions for specific populations is crucial.

PICOT Question

In school-aged children (P), does a comprehensive school-based nutrition and physical activity program (I) compared pharmacological interventions (C) reduce prevalence of obesity over 12-month period?

Explanation of PICOT Components

Population of Interest (P)

The population of interest for this PICOT question is school-aged children, typically ranging from 5 to 18 years old. The age group is particularly susceptible to obesity due to dietary habits, physical activity levels, and environmental influences. Childhood often emerges as a pivotal phase in development. It is increasingly acknowledged as a critical period influencing an individual's susceptibility to obesity in later life (Smith et al., 2020). During this window, taste preferences, dietary patterns, and lifestyle behaviors take shape and have a lasting impact. Interventions implemented during these early years possess the potential to redirect this trajectory, reshaping a child's preferences and habits before they solidify, offering a vital opportunity to mitigate the risk of obesity in the future.

Intervention of Interest (I)

The intervention of interest is a comprehensive school-based nutrition, behavioral therapy, and physical activity program. School-based nutrition interventions are strategies enacted within school environments to cultivate positive nutritional attitudes, knowledge, and behaviors in school-aged children and adolescents (O’Brien et al., 2021). These initiatives encompass various facets, including food policies, environmental enhancements, and nutrition education. Their recipients may range from school administrators, food service personnel, and teachers to parents and students. Conventional classroom educators or specialized program instructors can carry out implementation.

Physical activities are bodily engagements that require energy expenditure. They encompass exercises, sports, recreational pursuits, and daily tasks like walking or climbing stairs. Encouraging regular exercise helps children achieve and maintain a healthy weight while promoting overall well-being. Activities should be age-appropriate, enjoyable, and integrated into daily life. School-aged children and adolescents should engage in minimum of 60 minutes of daily physical activity, with at least 30 minutes devoted to structured activities like sports and supervised exercises, aligning with recommendations by the American Academy of Pediatrics (van Sluijs et al., 2021). Behavioral therapy focuses on modifying unhealthy behaviors and promoting positive lifestyle changes. It encourages self-monitoring, where children track their eating habits, physical activity, and food-related emotions. Second, the education encourages setting specific, achievable goals for healthier eating and increased physical activity tailored to their age and abilities.

Comparison of Interest (C)

The comparison of interest in this PICOT question is pharmacological intervention. Pharmacological intervention encompasses using pharmaceutical agents or drugs to manage obesity in children. These interventions include prescription medications like orlistat for reducing fat absorption in the digestive tract or metformin to regulate blood sugar levels and treat obesity-related insulin resistance (Florencia et al., 2022). Other weight management medications may also be considered, although their use in pediatric populations is generally more limited and carefully monitored due to potential side effects. Comparing the effectiveness of these pharmacological interventions with comprehensive school-based nutrition and physical activity programs is essential to determine the most appropriate and beneficial approach to address childhood obesity.

Outcome of Interest (O)

The primary outcome of interest is the body mass index (BMI) percentile reduction. BMI percentile is a commonly used metric to assess and monitor children's weight status. Decrease in BMI percentile indicates positive change in weight status and reflect progress in preventing childhood obesity.

Timeframe (T)

The proposed timeframe for implementing and evaluating the comprehensive school-based program's impact on BMI percentile is 12 months. The duration ensures comprehensive assessment of intervention's effectiveness over reasonable period.

Conclusion

Childhood obesity is a growing public health concern with far-reaching consequences. It stems from energy imbalance and has intensified due to increased consumption of energy-dense foods and reduced physical activity, driven by societal changes. Childhood obesity exposes children to immediate health risks and sets foundation fo lifelong battle with obesity-related diseases in adulthood. Interventions for combating childhood obesity should consider the complex interplay of genetic, environmental, and behavioral factors. Addressing childhood obesity requires comprehensive strategies illustrated through the PICOT framework. The outlined PICOT question focuses on school-aged children and impact of comprehensive school-based nutrition and physical activity program on BMI percentile reduction over 12 months. The question is designed to guide research and evaluation efforts in determining effectiveness of such interventions in preventing childhood obesity. Comparing the approach with pharmacological interventions is critical in determining appropriate effective path forward.

Introduction:- Interprofessional collaboration is a critical aspect of a nurse’s work. Through interprofessional collaboration, practitioners and patients share information and consider each other’s perspectives to better understand and address the many factors that contribute to health and well-being (Sullivan et al., 2015). Essentially, by collaborating, health care practitioners and patients can have better health outcomes. Nurses, who are often at the frontlines of interacting with various groups and records, are full partners in this approach to health care.

Reflection is a key part of building interprofessional competence, as it allows you to look critically at experiences and actions through specific lenses. From the standpoint of interprofessional collaboration, reflection can help you consider potential reasons for and causes of people's actions and behaviors (Saunders et al., 2016). It also can provide opportunities to examine the roles team members adopted in a given situation as well as how the team could have worked more effectively.

As you begin to prepare this assessment you are encouraged to complete the What is Reflective Practice? activity. The activity consists of five questions that will allow you the opportunity to practice self-reflection. The information gained from completing this formative will help with your success on the Collaboration and Leadership Reflection Video assessment. Completing formatives is also a way to demonstrate course engagement

Note: The Example Kaltura Reflection demonstrates how to cite sources appropriately in an oral presentation/video. The Example Kaltura Reflection video is not a reflection on the Vila Health activity. Your reflection assessment will focus on both your professional experience and the Vila Health activity as described in the scenario.

Professional Context:- This assessment will help you to become a reflective practitioner. By considering your own successes and shortcomings in interprofessional collaboration, you will increase awareness of your problem-solving abilities. You will create a video of your reflections, including a discussion of best practices of interprofessional collaboration and leadership strategies, cited in the literature.

Scenario:- As part of an initiative to build effective collaboration at your Vila Health site, where you are a nurse, you have been asked to reflect on a project or experience in which you collaborated interprofessionally and examine what happened during the collaboration, identifying positive aspects and areas for improvement.

You have also been asked to review a series of events that took place at another Vila Health location and research interprofessional collaboration best practices and use the lessons learned from your experiences to make recommendations for improving interprofessional collaboration among their team. Your task is to create a 5–10 minute video reflection with suggestions for the Vila Health team that can be shared with leadership as well as Vila Health colleagues at your site. Note: If you require the use of assistive technology or alternative communication methods to participate in this activity, please contact 
[email protected] to request accommodations. If, for some reason, you are unable to record a video, please contact your faculty member as soon as possible to explore options for completing the assessment.

Instructions:- Using Kaltura, record a 5–10 minute video reflection on an interprofessional collaboration experience from your personal practice, proposing suggestions on how to improve the collaboration presented in the 

Vila Health: Collaboration for Change
 activity.

Be sure that your assessment addresses the following criteria. Please study the scoring guide carefully so you will know what is needed for a distinguished score:

· Reflect on an interdisciplinary collaboration experience, noting ways in which it was successful and unsuccessful in achieving desired outcomes.

· Identify how poor collaboration can result in inefficient management of human and financial resources, citing supporting evidence from the literature.

· Identify best-practice leadership strategies from the literature that would improve an interdisciplinary team’s ability to achieve its goals, citing at least one author from the literature.

· Identify best-practice interdisciplinary collaboration strategies to help a team achieve its goals and work together, citing the work of at least one author.

· Communicate in a professional manner, is easily audible, and uses proper grammar. Format reference list in current APA style.

You will need to relate an experience that you have had collaborating on a project. This could be at your current or former place of practice, or another relevant project that will enable you to address the requirements. In addition to describing your experience, you should explain aspects of the collaboration that helped the team make progress toward relevant goals or outcomes, as well as aspects of the collaboration that could have been improved.

A simplified gap-analysis approach may be useful:

· What happened?

· What went well?

· What did not go well?

· What should have happened?

After your personal reflection, examine the scenario in the Vila Health activity and discuss the ways in which the interdisciplinary team did not collaborate effectively and the negative implications for the human and financial resources of the interdisciplinary team and the organization as a whole.

Building on this investigation, identify at least one leadership best practice or strategy that you believe would improve the team’s ability to achieve their goals. Be sure to identify the strategy and its source or author and provide a brief rationale for your choice of strategy.

Additionally, identify at least one interdisciplinary collaboration best practice or strategy to help the team achieve its goals and work more effectively together. Again, identify the strategy, its source, and reasons why you think it will be effective.

You are encouraged to integrate lessons learned from your self-reflection to support and enrich your discussion of the Vila Health activity.

You are required to submit an APA-formatted reference list for any sources that you cited specifically in your video or used to inform your presentation. The

Answer the questions below based on the following case study.

A 26-year-old woman presented to the clinic after her cleaning rituals had so exhausted her that she had given up and could now enter only two of the five rooms in her home. For more than a year she has worried that if her house is not sufficiently clean, her 3-year-old son will become ill and could die. Having touched a surface she has to disinfect it repeatedly – a procedure performed in a particular way and taking several hours. In addition, she repetitively washes her hands and sterilizes all the crockery and cutlery before eating. She realizes that she is ‘going over the top’, but she cannot stop thinking that items may have germs on them. This leads to disabling anxiety and fear for her son’s health, which she can only resolve by cleaning. This helps temporarily, but soon the thoughts return again.

  1. Summarize the clinical case.
  2. What is the DSM 5-TR diagnosis based on the information provided in the case?
  3. Which pharmacological treatment would you prescribe according to the clinical guidelines? Include the rationale for this treatment.
  4. Which non-pharmacological treatment would you prescribe according to the clinical guidelines? Include the rationale for this treatment excluding a psychotherapeutic modality.
  5. Include an assessment of the treatment’s appropriateness, cost, effectiveness, safety, and potential for patient adherence to the chosen medication. Use a local pharmacy to research the cost of the medication and provide the most cost-effective choice for the patient. Use great detail when answering questions 3-5.
