Time-Restricted Eating (TRE), a form of intermittent fasting, has gained popularity for weight control and metabolic health. It is not incorporated into dietary and clinical guidelines, and hence is generally not being recommended to the public. This qualitative study explores how individuals have discovered TRE as a form of dietary practice and their motivations for practising it. Using purposive and snowball sampling, we recruited 21 participants who had engaged in TRE for at least 3 months (range 3 months to over 5 years). In-depth interviews were conducted with an interview guide developed based on the Health Belief Model. We utilised an inductive coding process and thematic analysis to identify the factors motivating TRE adoption. Seven main themes emerged: (1) dissatisfaction and resistance to prior or traditional approaches, (2) perceived broader health benefits, (3) principles of TRE deemed logical, (4) low to no cost of adoption, (5) manageable psychosocial barriers, (6) being non-restrictive and easy to use, and (7) compatibility with personal lifestyle. This study provided insights into early phase of TRE adoption among individuals in real world settings. Future research should explore health practitioners' perspectives on TRE to better understand the acceptability and potential use of TRE as a weight management approach.

This scoping review assessed the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of general practitioners (GPs) regarding dietary advice for weight management. A systematic search of PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, and MEDLINE was conducted for any qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods studies published in the past five years that informed GPs’ dietary advice for weight control. Thirteen studies were included in the analysis after screening 881 papers. These studies tended to focus mostly on GPs’ practices rather than their knowledge and attitudes. The most frequently mentioned dietary advice was to reduce calorie intake; however, 32 different types of dietary advice were identified in the literature, including approaches such as intermittent fasting and a ketogenic diet that are not recommended in current guidelines. GPs showed varying levels of knowledge and attitudes regarding the best dietary advice for patients. Further research is needed to better understand GP perspectives, with efforts to assist GPs in providing tailored advice based on the latest evidence to improve patient outcomes required.

Aims: Adherence to any dietary approach is crucial for achieving long‐term benefits. This qualitative study aims to explore the facilitators and barriers to adherence, and how individuals in community settings navigate time‐restricted eating in their daily lives.Methods: Semi‐structured, in‐depth interviews were conducted with 21 participants who had practised time‐restricted eating (confining the daily eating window to <10h a day; and excluding periodic fasting methods like the 5:2 approach or alternate day fasting) for periods ranging from 3 months to more than 5 years. A qualitative content analysis, underpinned by the Capability‐Opportunity‐Motivation‐Behaviour Model, identified multiple facilitators, barriers, and strategies that evolved over the practice.Results: Key facilitators included the simplicity and versatility of time‐restricted eating, maintaining a non‐obsessive and non‐dieting mindset, and having a supportive environment. Barriers included hunger and food cravings, an obsessive mindset during the initial stages, and conflicting schedules with social eating occasions, including holidays. Participants employed several coping strategies to successfully navigate adherence and reported confidence in maintaining time‐restricted eating as a lifestyle that contributes to better health and weight management.Conclusion: Our findings suggest that successful implementation of time‐restricted eating in community settings requires flexibility and viewing it as more than a short‐term weight loss tool. Guidelines are needed to help individuals and practitioners implement better practices and promote healthier behaviours.

Osteoartritis (OA) lutut merupakan masalah kesehatan masyarakat utama yang mengakibatkan nyeri dan disabilitas. Sampai saat ini masih belum jelas diketahui dampak penyakit OA lutut dilihat dari derajat nyeri dan klasifikasi radiologik OA dengan kualitas hidup pasien OA lutut. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengetahui hubungan derajat nyeri dan klasifikasi radiologik OA dengan kualitas hidup pasien OA lutut. Penelitian ini adalah studi analitik dengan pendekatan cross sectional. Sebanyak 85 pasien OA telah dipilih secara consecutive dan dinilai kualitas hidupnya yang terdiri atas delapan komponen menggunakan kuesioner SF-36, derajat nyerinya menggunakan numeric rating scale (NRS), serta secara radiologik berdasar atas klasifikasi Kellgren-Lawrence (KL). Penelitian ini dilakukan di RS Al-Islam Bandung selama periode April–Juli 2018. Data dianalisis dengan SPSS melalui Uji Kruskal-Wallis. Dari hasil penelitian didapatkan mayoritas pasien OA lutut mengalami derajat nyeri sedang (50%) termasuk dalam klasifikasi radiologik OA moderat (43%) dan skor kualitas hidup 548 (265,63–728,5). Penelitian ini menunjukkan hubungan bermakna antara derajat nyeri dan kualitas hidup pada aspek nyeri dan vitalitas (p=0,000 dan 0,005) serta hubungan klasifikasi radiologik OA dengan kualitas hidup aspek fungsi sosial (p=0,027). Disimpulkan bahwa terdapat hubungan derajat nyeri dengan kualitas hidup pada aspek nyeri dan vitalitas serta hubungan klasifikasi radiologik OA dengan kualitas hidup pada aspek fungsi sosial.

Sekolah berbasis agama dan boarding semakin banyak di Indonesia dan pengetahuan tentang personal hygiene terutama saat menstruasi penting untuk mencegah berbagai masalah kesehatan reproduksi yang dapat terjadi. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengetahui perbedaan tingkat pengetahuan tentang personal hygiene saat menstruasi antara siswi pesantren dan sekolah negeri. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian analitik observasional dengan pendekatan cross sectional. Penelitian dilakukan di Pondok Pesantren Tarbiyatul Banin Kabupaten Cirebon dan SMP Negeri 1 Talun Kabupaten Cirebon pada bulan Mei 2018. Populasi penelitian ini adalah seluruh siswi dari sekolah terkait yang sudah mengalami menstruasi. Responden pada penelitian ini dipilih dengan teknik purposive sampling sebanyak 95 orang dari tiap-tiap sekolah. Analisis data dilakukan dengan software Epi Info dengan uji Fisher-exact. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tingkat pengetahuan baik didapatkan pada 96% siswa SMP Negeri, sementara pada siswi Pondok pesantren sebanyak 86%. Dari hasil uji statistik didapatkan perbedaan bermakna antara tingkat pengetahuan siswi pondok pesantren dan siswi SMP Negeri (p<0,05). Terdapat perbedaan yang bermakna mengenai tingkat pengetahuan yang baik pada siswi SMP Negeri dibanding dengan siswi pesantren. Perlu promosi/edukasi kesehatan kepada siswi pesantren agar tingkat pengetahuan mereka tentang personal hygiene saat menstruasi dapat setara dengan siswi SMP Negeri.
