Causal model of health literacy in dietary supplement use and sufficient health behavior among working-age adults.

Background: Sufficient health behavior (SHB) and health literacy in dietary supplement use (HL-DSU) are the key determinants of health status. However, the link between HL-DSU and SHB is not fully understood. Therefore, the objective of this research was to investigate the model and identify the size of its effect on HL-DSU and SHB among adults of working age.

Health literacy in dietary supplement use among working-age groups: systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Globally, dietary supplement use (DSU) is very popular against COVID19. This study aims to investigate the characteristics of research on health literacy (HL) in DSU and compare HL among working-age groups by reviewing related research between 2011 and 2021 in PubMed, SCOPUS, ClinicalKey, Google Scholar and ThaiJO.

Methods: Twenty-five articles that met the inclusion criteria were selected for study and analyzed using Cohen's d.

Meta-skills development needs assessment among undergraduate students.

Needs assessment is the process of measuring the gaps between current and desired states. It plays a vital role in the development of an individual's meta-skills in preparing students for the future. The objectives of this study were 1) to study the students' desired and current meta-skills and 2) to identify the priority needs in developing the meta-skills of undergraduate students.

Mindfulness interventions reduce blood pressure in patients with non-communicable diseases: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Purpose: Mindfulness based interventions (MBIs) are an emerging area of empirical study, not only in positive psychology, but also in clinical health care. This research aims to synthesize the evidence about whether MBIs reduce blood pressure (BP) in patients with non-communicable diseases (NCDs).

Methods: Relevant studies were identified via PubMed, the Cochrane Library, Embase and the CINAHL database between 2009 and 2019.
