Abstract:

Infants who accompanied their mothers in prison were vulnerable to consequences of malnutrition. So, nutritional intervention program for those infants who deprived from outdoor facilities is a subject of interest. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to assess the effect of nutritional intervention on growth of infants accompanying their mothers in prison. A quasi-experimental design was used (Pre and posttest). The study was conducted in Egypt Qanater Women's Prison.  A convenience sample of 30 mother accompanying their infants in the above- mentioned setting was included. Three instruments were used: a structured interview questionnaire, an observational checklist and anthropometric measurements. The findings of this study revealed that infant growth improved after implementation of the nutritional intervention. In addition, there were statistically significant differences regarding mother's knowledge and practices observed on posttest than on pretest. As well as, there were positive correlation between mother's knowledge, practices and infant growth. The study concluded that mother's gained more knowledge and had better practices on posttest following the adherence of the nutritional intervention. In addition, their infants had better growth after implementation of the nutritional intervention. Therefore, it was recommended that nurse’s officers should provide periodical nutritional intervention to prisoned mother’s in order to sustain their infants growth. Special provisions must be in place to ensure that the child’s rights are promoted and protected whilst in prison. Child welfare rather than prison authorities should have primary responsibility for making decisions regarding children in prison and specialists in social work and child development should supervise their care.

Abstract:

Objective: The main objective of this study is to explore the existence of a double burden of malnutrition in Refugee settlements in Uganda.

Background: A growing number of refugee camps in Uganda as a result of war in Southern Sudan are facing a double burden of malnutrition, that is, the persistence of under-nutrition, along with a rapid rise of over-nutrition and non-communicable diseases such as diabetes, hypertension and coronary heart disease. This double burden of malnutrition has resulted from various factors including: a marked transition in dietary patterns over recent years (e.g. shifts to energy dense diets high in saturated fat, sugar, and refined foods, and away from plant-based diets); inadequate access to healthy food choices; declining levels of physical activity; and inadequate access to health care services as a result of displacement and broader social determinants .In refuge settlements and host communities in Uganda, in addition to the high levels of under-nutrition, substantial levels of overweight/obesity have also been observed. At the national level, 35% of children of are stunted. The prevalence is even higher in host communities where 40% of children screened are stunted. Many low- and refuge settlements and host communities are undergoing a nutrition transition associated with rapid social and economic transitions. We explore the coexistence of over and under- nutrition at the neighborhood and household level, in a refuge settlement setting in Uganda.

Methods Data collection and review: Data was collected in 2016 on a cohort of children aged under five years born between 2010 and 2015. Anthropometric measurements of the children and their mothers were taken. Additionally, dietary intake, physical activity, and anthropometric measurements were collected from a stratified random sample of adults aged 18 years and older through a separate cross-sectional study conducted between 2012 and 2015 in the same setting. Proportions of stunting, underweight, wasting and overweight/obesity were determined in children, while proportions of underweight and overweight/obesity were determined in adults. Results: Of the 2335 children included in the analyses with a total of 4750 visits, 46% (51% boys, 40% girls) were stunted, 11% (13% boys, 9% girls) were underweight, 2.5% (3% boys, 2% girls) were wasted, while 9% of boys and girls were overweight/obese respectively. Among their mothers, 7.5% were underweight while 32% were overweight/obese. A large proportion (43% and 37%%) of overweight and obese mothers respectively had stunted children. Among the 3190 adults included in the analyses, 9% (6% female, 11% male) were underweight, and 22% (35% female, 13% male) were overweight/obese.

Conclusion: The findings confirm an existing double burden of malnutrition in this setting, characterized by a high prevalence of under nutrition particularly stunting early in life, with high levels of overweight/obesity in adulthood, particularly among women. In the context of a rapid increase in refuge population, particularly in poor settings, this calls for urgent action. Multispectral action may work best given the complex nature of prevailing circumstances in refuge settings. Further research is needed to understand the pathways to this coexistence, and to test feasibility and effectiveness of context-specific interventions to curb associated health.
