Aims: This study investigated the current status of nutrition literacy and related influencing factors in stroke patients, with a view to providing a reference for the development of targeted interventions.
Design: Cross-sectional study.
Methods: A convenience sampling method was used to select 342 stroke patients from June to November 2024 as the study population, and a cross-sectional survey was conducted using the General Information Questionnaire, Nutrition Literacy Scale, Herth Hope Scale, Chronic Disease Self-Efficacy Scale and Social Support Rating Scale. Descriptive analysis, independent samples t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis were used for data analysis.
Results: The results showed that the nutrition literacy score of stroke patients was 122.24 ± 16.66, and gender, age, education level, monthly per capita family income, nutrition education, hope level, self-efficacy and social support were the factors affecting the nutrition literacy of stroke patients (all p < 0.05).
Conclusion: According to the study, stroke patients' nutrition literacy has to be raised, and medical practitioners should create focused intervention plans to raise patients' nutrition literacy levels.
Relevance To Clinical Practice: Healthcare professionals should assess the level of nutritional literacy in order to provide targeted interventions. The establishment of a multidisciplinary care team and implementation of long-term nutritional management after stroke are essential to reduce stroke recurrence and mortality.
Reporting Method: The study adhered to the STROBE checklist.
Patient Or Public Contribution: No patient or public contribution.

To address the challenges of self-care in oncology, gamification emerges as an innovative strategy to enhance health literacy and self-care among individuals with oncological disease. This study aims to explore and map how gamification can promote health literacy for self-care of oncological diseases. A scoping review was conducted following the Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines and the PRISMA-ScR Checklist developed for scoping reviews.

Introduction: Current diets which are commonly high in meat and ultra-processed foods are unhealthy and unsustainable and contribute significantly to climate change, environmental degradation and poor health outcomes. Transitioning to healthy and sustainable diets that are rich in plant-based foods and low in animal products could reduce environmental impacts and improve population health. Young Australian adults are a critical target group for dietary intervention as they are motivated towards climate action and have the lowest diet quality out of all adult age groups.

Background: Dietary acculturation-the process by which migrants adopt the dietary patterns of their host country-has become increasingly relevant given the unprecedented scale of international migration. This phenomenon is often associated with a shift from traditional diets toward host-country patterns that are higher in ultra processed foods, added sugars, and fats, with potential implications for chronic disease risk.
Objective: This mini-review aims to synthesize global evidence on the dietary transformations experienced by migrant populations and to assess the health implications and modulating factors influencing these changes.
