    The document summarizes a study that examined barriers and facilitators to integrating the MyPlate nutrition guidelines in K-12 schools. The study found that barriers included insufficient time, knowledge about MyPlate, and lack of nutrition resources, while facilitators were nutrition being part of the curriculum and personal interest. As a nurse, understanding these factors could help advocate for nutrition and diet by overcoming barriers and maximizing facilitators. Health literacy is also important for promoting MyPlate guidelines and proper nutrition behaviors in communities.

    JOURNAL CRITIQUE UNIT II

    MyPlate is the current tool used by the US Department of Agriculture which supports
    the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. It visually represents the recommended patterns for food
    group distribution intended for each individual with unique dietary requirements. It also
    promotes variation and proportion of consumption of nutrient dense foods. In some
    literatures, the effectiveness and usefulness of myPlate in different setting and population
    groups are reported however, there were also some barriers that affects the integration of
    MyPlate . In the study conducted by Chrisman et. Al, 2019 entitled “Barriers to and facilitators
    of using MyPlate nutritional guidelines in K-12 teachers and principals”, facilitators and barriers
    contributing to the effective utilization of nutrition lessons, MyPlate guidelines, and strategies
    for improvement were ascertained.

    As we all know, health literacy is very critical in the promotion of health . Academe and
    school organization have significant role in spreading awareness about the dietary guidelines
    which eventually could lead to community indulging in health promoting behaviours.
    Integration of myPlate in the institutions curriculum, teaching personnel and extra curricular
    activities about nutrition and food opens oppurtunity for the individuals to learn about
    appropriate consumption of foods and its long term benefits. Article by Chrisman et al., 2019
    also shows that inadequate time allowance, insufficient knowlegde about MyPlate, nutrition
    being not part of the core curriculum, and lack of resources are the barriers affecting
    integration of myPlate. On the other hand, high saliency to be part of the curriculum, already
    part of the curriculum, and personal interest were facilitators of the effectiveness of applictaion
    of my Plate in the academe settings.

    Overall, I have learned that in the promotion of MyPlate in any settings, there would be
    be certain circumstances which could facilitate and become a barier during the incorportion of
    its concept . Moreover, health literacy is necessary in allowing individuals to be aware of what
    is proper and appropriate when it comes to nutrition. Findings of this study will be a great help
    in my profession as a nurse especially if I will take the path of public health nurses since this
    will give me insights of what is happening in the school setting . Barriers and facilitators
    identified in this study will be noted and as a nurse who is fully aware of these happenings I
    would be able to equip myself with knowledge, strategies and skills to overcome barriers and
    maximize the facilitators available in advocating nutrition and diet.
