Using the socio-ecological approach as the underlying theoretical perspective, th...

Zusammenfassung Handlungsbereitschaft (Community Readiness, CR) beschreibt, in welchem Ausmaß eine Kommune bereit ist, ein Gesundheitsproblem aktiv anzugehen. Sie ist eine zentrale Voraussetzung für erfolgreiche und nachhaltige Präventionsmaßnahmen. Die CR zur Prävention von Kinderübergewicht ist in deutschen Kommunen niedrig, was die Umsetzung eff...

Zusammenfassung Mit dem Community Readiness Model (CRM) lässt sich beurteilen, wie bereit eine Kommune ist, sich aktiv mit der Übergewichtsprävention bei Kindern zu befassen. Die Handlungsbereitschaft zur Prävention von Kinderübergewicht ist in deutschen Kommunen unter den gegebenen Bedingungen und der Ausrichtung in der kommunalen Präventionsarbei...

Einleitung: Die hohe Prävalenz von Übergewicht und Adipositas im Kindes- und Jugendalter weist darauf hin, dass Präventionsbemühungen bisher wenig erfolgsversprechend umgesetzt werden konnten [1], [2]. Ein Grund für das Scheitern von Präventionsmaßnahmen kann eine geringe oder fehlende Handlungsbereitschaft sein. Handlungsbereitschaft (Community Re...

Background Declining cognitive function (CF) and physical function (PF) relate to poorer health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in older adults. As health literacy (HL) facilitates health information utilization, it may mediate links between functionality and HRQoL appraisals. This study examined HL as an intermediary between joint CF and PF contri...

Background The COVID-19 pandemic has decreased physical activity (PA) while increasing demand for electronic health resources. eHealth literacy (EHL) is expected to aid eHealth use and health promotion. EHL was raised on the grounds of health literacy (HL). This study explored the associations among EHL, HL, and PA in Chinese college students and i...

The World Health Organization has identified childhood obesity as one of the most serious public health problems of the 21st century. Understanding a municipality’s readiness to address it is crucial to achieve successful interventions. However, the preparedness of German municipalities to address childhood obesity has not yet been investigated. Th...

Background Childcare centres have the potential to promote health-enhancing physical activity (PA) in children. However, institutions with need for action seem to be hard to reach. During the project “QueB 2 - developing quality with and through physical activity” different strategies to empower multipliers in spreading awareness for PA were tested...

Background The development of theory-based prevention efforts is complex and often not feasible in the daily work of project planners. Planning tools such as the Intervention Mapping Approach (IMA), which is a gold standard for project planning, cannot be used in practice without preconditions. How can prevention planning be evidence-based but also...

The Community Readiness Model (CRM) provides an approach to determine community readiness (CR), which is the degree of a community’s preparedness to address a health issue. This scoping review aims to characterize internationally existing applications of the CRM for childhood obesity prevention. Therefore, a systematic literature research was condu...

A central problem of current efforts to promote health and physical activity (PA) is that many successful projects remain stuck in the demonstration phase and are not implemented successfully at scale. The use of participatory and/or co-creation approaches has been suggested to avoid this ?pilot project trap? and better adapt interventions to targe...

BACKGROUND Although eHealth literacy (EHL) was raised on the ground of health literacy (HL), few empirical studies were found to examine the association between them. The relationship between these two literacies still remains uncertain. Exploration on the relationship can contribute to demonstrate the differences between EHL and HL, and help deepe...

BACKGROUND Declines of cognitive function (CF) and physical function (PF) are two irreversible health conditions linked closely to the elderly’s health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Health literacy (HL) represents the abilities for individuals to cope with health issues, and shows a positive effect on HRQoL. This research hypothesized that HL ma...

Background: The information technology has developed rapidly with the evolution of internet environment transformed from requiring computer skills for information searching to self-managing health data and applying information.

Background Despite increasing efforts to promote physical activity (PA) in childcare centers, compliance with PA guidelines remains low. QueB is an intervention to promote children’s and teachers’ capabilities for PA. In QueB1 (2015-2018) a significant increase in children’s and teachers’ PA (steps/hour) in 12 childcare centers in Germany was achie...

Background Older informal caregivers are considered to be a growing, vulnerable group with multiple burdens.
