Salt-restriction-spoon improved the salt intake among residents in China.
No full textObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of an improved salt-restriction spoon on the attitude of salt-restriction, the using rate of salt-restriction-spoon, the actual salt intake, and 24-hour urinary sodium excretion (24HUNa).DesignA community intervention study.SettingTwo villages in Beijing.Participants403 local adult residents being responsible for home cooking.InterventionParticipants were randomly assigned to the intervention group or the control group. Those in the intervention group were provided with an improved salt-restriction-spoon and health education, and were informed of their actual salt intake and 24HUNa. Not any intervention was given to those in the control group.Main outcome measuresThe scores on the variables of Health Belief Model, the using rate of salt-restriction-spoon, the actual salt intake, and 24HUNa.AnalysisCovariance analyses, Chi-square tests, Student's t tests, and repeated measures analyses of variance.ResultsAfter 6 months of intervention, the intervention group felt significantly less objective barriers, and got access to significantly more cues to action as compared to the control group. The using rate and the correctly using rate of salt-restriction-spoon were significantly higher in the intervention group. The daily salt intake decreased by 1.42 g in the intervention group and by 0.28 g in the control group, and repeated measures analysis of variance showed significant change over time (F = 7.044, PConclusionsThe intervention effect was acceptable, therefore, the improved salt-restriction-spoon and corresponding health education could be considered as an alternative for salt reduction strategy in China and other countries where salt intake comes mainly from home cooking
Determinants of salt-restriction-spoon using behavior in China: application of the health belief model.
No full textBackgroundThe two-gram salt-restriction-spoons, which can be used to reduce the salt intake of people, had been handed out for free by the Chinese government to the citizens several years ago, but only a small fraction of residents use such a spoon currently. Since no studies have been conducted to investigate relevant influencing factors, this study was designed to explore the determinants of salt-restriction-spoon using behavior (SRB) in China.MethodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted in Beijing, China. Altogether 269 rural residents and 244 urban residents aged over 18 were selected by convenience sampling method in 2012. Variables measured in a questionnaire designed according to the Health Belief Model (HBM) included socio-demographics, perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits, perceived objective barriers, perceived subjective barriers, self-efficacy, knowledge of hypertension, cues to action, and SRB. Answers to the questionnaire were obtained from all the participants, and 24-hour urine samples were collected to determine the 24-hour urinary sodium excretion (24HUNa). Path analyses were used to explore the determinants of SRB.ResultsApproximately 22.7% and 45.3% of residents used a salt-restriction-spoon everyday in the rural and urban areas, respectively. The average 24HUNa was 211.19±98.39 mmol for rural residents and 109.22±58.18 mmol for urban residents. Path analyses shown that perceived objective barriers, perceived benefits, perceived severity, knowledge and age were related to SRB and 24HUNa for both rural and urban participants, among which perceived objective barrier (β = - 0.442 and β = - 0.543, respectively) was the most important determinant.ConclusionImprovement of the current salt-restriction-spoon and education on the right usage of the salt-restriction-spoon, the severity of hypertension, and the benefit of salt reduction are necessary, especially among those who are relatively young but at risk of hypertension, those who have lower education levels, and those who live in the rural areas

Obowiązek pamięci, obowiązek prawdy – Grzegorz Kwiatkowski Karl-Heinz M.
No full textThe focus of analysis in this article are poems from the collection by Grzegorz Kwiatkowski Karl-Heinz M., published in 2019. The poet returns here to the topics of extermination, death, and responsibility. The main characters in the poems, similar to those earlier collections, are not only the victims of Nazi crimes, but also the perpetrators. The author uses snatches of memories, referemces to documents, and invokes fragments of victims’ and perpetrators’ testimonies. What is interesting in these poetic representations is the form of the building of images, the use of abbreviations, and the compression of meanings. The manner of illustration in these poems evokes texts by Edgar Lee Masters, especially Spoon River Anthology (into Polish translated as Umarli ze Spoon River), as well as the book by Georges Didi-Huberman Images in Spite of All: Four Photographs from Auschwitz (Fr. Images malgré tout, 2004).Przedmiotem uwagi są wiersze z wydanego w 2019 r. zbioru Grzegorza Kwiatkowskiego Karl-‑Heinz M. Poeta powraca do tematów zagłady, śmierci, odpowiedzialności. Bohaterami wierszy, podobnie jak w poprzednich zbiorach, pozostają ofiary hitlerowskich zbrodni, ale także ich sprawcy. Autor wykorzystuje strzępy wspomnień, sięga po dokumenty, przywołuje fragmenty zeznań ofiar i zbrodniarzy. Interesujący w tych poetyckich przedstawieniach pozostaje sposób budowania obrazu, operowanie skrótem, kondensacja znaczeń. Utwory Kwiatkowskiego sposobem obrazowania nawiązują do tekstów Edgara Lee Mastersa, zwłaszcza tomu Umarli ze Spoon River (ang. Spoon River Anthology), a także książki Georges’a Didi-Hubermana Obrazy mimo wszystko (fr. Images malgré tout, 2004)
