Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a competitive advantage out there, arguably more powerful than any other. Is it superior strategy? Faster innovation? Smarter employees? No, New York Times best-selling author, Patrick Lencioni, argues that the seminal difference between successful companies and mediocre ones has little to do with what they know and how smart they are and more to do with how healthy they are. In this book, Lencioni brings together his vast experience and many of the themes cultivated in his other best-selling books and delivers a first: a cohesive and comprehensive exploration of the unique advantage organizational health provides. Simply put, an organization is healthy when it is whole, consistent and complete, when its management, operations and culture are unified. Healthy organizations outperform their counterparts, are free of politics and confusion and provide an environment where star performers never want to leave. Lencioni’s first non-fiction book provides leaders with a groundbreaking, approachable model for achieving organizational health—complete with stories, tips and anecdotes from his experiences consulting to some of the nation’s leading organizations. In this age of informational ubiquity and nano-second change, it is no longer enough to build a competitive advantage based on intelligence alone. The Advantage provides a foundational construct for conducting business in a new way—one that maximizes human potential and aligns the organization around a common set of principles.

Download or read book HealthyMoms promoting healthier lifestyle and weight gain during pregnancy with special emphasis on migrant women written by Emmie Söderström and published by Linköping University Electronic Press. This book was released on 2024-09-04 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Gestational weight gain (GWG), affects almost 50% of pregnant women and effective and scalable interventions are needed and should be inclusive for all irrespectively of origin. The overall aim of this thesis was to evaluate the HealthyMoms app targeting GWG as well as dietary and physical activity behaviors and how the app may be adapted to also reach women of migrant backgrounds. The first part evaluated the effectiveness of the HealthyMoms trial and the dietary assessment method used in it (Paper I-II). The second part aimed to explore how the HealthyMoms app could be adapted to reach Arabic- and Somali-speaking women (Paper III-IV). Methods: Paper I was a randomized controlled trial in healthy pregnant women (n=305). After baseline assessment (week 14), women were randomized to the intervention (n=152) or control group (n=153). The intervention group received standard care and the HealthyMoms app. The primary outcome was GWG between baseline and follow-up measurement (week 37). Secondary outcomes included body fatness (air displacement plethysmography), dietary habits (SHEI score), moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (accelerometry), glycemia and insulin resistance. Paper II: Nested validation study of RiksmatenFlex (dietary assessment method in HealthyMoms) in a subsample of the trial. Three days of dietary data (energy, foods groups, macronutrients and SHEI score) from RiksmatenFlex was compared to 24 h telephone dietary recalls (n=52). Total energy expenditure (TEE) was measured with the doubly labelled water method (n=24). Paper III: A qualitative exploration of healthcare professionals’ views on supporting healthy lifestyle behaviors in pregnant migrant women was performed through individual interviews over phone or in person with healthcare professionals working in maternity healthcare (n=14). An inductive thematic analysis was performed. Paper IV: Individual interviews with Arabic (n=10) and Somali women (n=9) exploring what support is needed for healthy lifestyle behaviors and how the HealthyMoms app could be adapted. Data was analyzed using content analysis (inductive latent approach). Results: Paper I: No statistically significant effect on GWG was observed, although data indicated that the effect of the HealthyMoms app differed according to pre-pregnancy BMI, where women with overweight and obesity in the intervention group had lower GWG compared to the control group in the imputed (–1.33 kg; 95% CI –2.92 to 0.26; P=.10) and completers-only analyses (–1.67 kg; 95% CI –3.26 to –0.09; P=.031). Participants in the intervention group further had higher SHEI score at follow-up compared to the control group (0.27; 95% CI 0.05-0.50; P=.017). No other effects for secondary outcomes were found. Paper II: Average energy intake from RiksmatenFlex (10015 [SD 2004] kJ) was similar to TEE (10252 [SD 1197] kJ) (P=.596). Mean differences between average intakes of unhealthy and healthy foods and average SHEI score between RiksmatenFlex and 24 h telephone dietary recalls were small, although Bland and Altman analyses showed wide limits of agreement for all variables. Moreover, correlations between dietary variables assessed with the two dietary methods were high (r=0.751-0.931; P<.001). Paper III: Healthcare professionals discussed challenges in their health promotion work including cultural and educational aspects as well as the need of increased awareness among pregnant migrant women and persons in the social context. Healthcare professionals further highlighted a lack of resources in the clinical practice and a need for increased cultural awareness in themselves to support healthy lifestyle behaviors. Providing the HealthyMoms app in Arabic and Somali with culturally adjusted information could be a helpful tool for women and for healthcare professionals in maternity healthcare. Paper IV: Arabic- and Somali-speaking women expressed a need of more knowledge about pregnancy and healthy lifestyle behaviors. The social context, and especially partners could support lifestyle behaviors. The social context could further be a source of misinformation which might negatively affect women’s diet or physical activity. Women had high trust in maternity healthcare but wanted more information related to lifestyle behaviors. A translated HealthyMoms app was seen as a helpful support for lifestyle behaviors, and it was reported that translation alone could be sufficient, however, audio- and video content was requested as well as inclusion of partners in the app. Conclusions: This thesis shows that the HealthyMoms app significantly improved dietary habits among pregnant women and has potential to reduce GWG in women with overweight and obesity. The dietary assessment method (RiksmatenFlex) showed acceptable agreement for average energy, macronutrients, key food groups and adherence to dietary guidelines, which strengthens the credibility of the obtained trial results and supports further use of the method. Finally, this thesis demonstrates the potential of the HealthyMoms app also for Arabic- and Somali-speaking women, i.e., two of the largest migrant groups in Sweden. It was requested that the app should include audio and video content, however, the need of other cultural adaptations needs further investigation.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Sexual and Gender Minority Mental Health written by Esther D. Rothblum and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-06-30 with total page 984 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford Handbook of Sexual and Gender Minority Mental Health provides a comprehensive and authoritative review of research on the mental health of sexual minorities-defined as those who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer, or same-gender attracted; as well as the mental health of gender minorities-defined as individuals who do not fully identify with their sex assigned at birth, including people who are transgender or gender non-binary. The twenty-first century has seen encouraging improvements in sampling, methods, and funding opportunities for research with sexual and gender minority (SGM) populations; nevertheless, a key purpose of this Handbook is to identify lingering gaps in research in order to motivate future scientists to expand knowledge about SGM mental health. The volume begins with a historical overview, followed by sections on mental health categories/diagnoses (such as anxiety, trauma, eating disorders, and suicide) and specific sexual and gender minority populations (including examinations of diverse ethnicities and orientations/identities). The handbook concludes with chapters on stigma, the role of resilience, and future directions for research with SGM groups. The volume is aimed at researchers conducting studies on the mental health of SGM populations, clinicians and researchers interested in psychiatric disorders that affect SGM populations, clinicians using evidence-based practice in the treatment of SGM patients/clients, students in mental health programs (clinical psychology, psychiatry, clinical social work, and psychiatric nursing), and policy makers.
