Factors Predicting Obesity Prevention Behaviors Among Overweight Late Primary School Students in Nakhon Si Thammarat Province, Thailand.
Obesity is a significant global public health issue affecting late primary school students' health and learning processes. This research aimed to predict factors influencing the prevention behaviors of obesity among overweight 9 to 12-year-old students. ⋯ Male students who have good GPAs, high self-efficacy in food consumption and physical activity, nutrition education, and adequate financial support were more likely to engage in obesity prevention behaviors. Thus, educators and healthcare professionals should focus on enhancing self-perception, providing comprehensive nutrition education, and offering additional support to female students with lower GPAs. These measures will help improve behavior adjustment and support obesity prevention efforts.

Subjective Rationalities of Nonadherence to Treatment and Vaccination in Healthcare Decision-Making.
In this short report contributing to the literature on treatment and vaccination adherence, nonadherence was examined from the perspective of decision-making (DM) practice in healthcare. The objective of this study was to survey the rationalities given for treatment nonadherence and their association with DM practice. ⋯ In medical DM, adherence to treatment and vaccination may be achieved through a recognition of patients' previous healthcare encounters and potential trust-related concerns, which could pose a risk for nonadherence. To be able to observe these risks, patient engagement and mutual trust should be priorities in decision support in healthcare.

Developing and Validating an Epilepsy Awareness and Education Program: Bridging Gaps in Knowledge and Support for People Living with Epilepsy and Their Families.
Various epilepsy studies on epilepsy awareness and knowledge highlight underlying myths, misconceptions, stigma, and discrimination associated with epilepsy, People Living with Epilepsy (PLWE), and their families. This study aimed to develop an epilepsy awareness and education programme to enhance epilepsy awareness and support among individuals living with epilepsy and their families. Participatory Action Research (PAR) laid the ground for the programme's investigation, development, and implementation. ⋯ From these, the gaps and potential education needs were identified. Gaps such as insufficient knowledge about epilepsy in rural communities, negative attitudes and satisfactory awareness, and a need for support and care for PLWE and FMCs. Implementation of this programme will improve epilepsy knowledge, care, and support in marginalised communities, establishing a more conducive environment and ultimately improving the quality of life for patients and their families.

Influential Factors for Self-Management Among Patients with Diabetic Retinopathy: A Structural Equation Model Analysis.
To investigate the influencing factors of self-management of diabetic retinopathy (DR) by constructing a structural equation model (SEM) to analyze the relationships among self-management behavior, perceived social support, and trait coping style as well as to determine the influencing path in order to provide a theoretical reference for exploring a multipath health management model that can be used to improve the quality of life of DR patients. ⋯ The self-management of DR was at an intermediate level. Perceived social support and trait coping styles were important influencing factors for self-management behavior in DR patients. Therefore, improving perceived social support and trait coping styles can promote the self-management behavior of DR patients, reduce their psychological burden, and improve their compliance and quality of life.
