As funds become increasingly scarce, an effective nutrition education method which reaches large numbers of elderly individuals is appropriate. A nutrition workshop was provided for 30 managers of government-sponsored nutrition centers for the elderly in a 5-county area. The workshop curriculum, determined after interests of both center managers and participants at the nutrition centers were assessed, was presented in a packet of materials to each workshop attendee and supplemented with explanations and demonstrations. A pre- and post-test evaluation instrument, which included videotaped simulations of typical nutritional situations encountered with elderly persons at the centers, was used to measure attitudes and knowledge before and after the workshop. As a result of the workshop, knowledge increased significantly as measured by the test instrument and 75% of the managers reported use of materials and ideas during the 5 months following the workshop.
随着资金日益稀缺，一种能惠及大量老年人的有效营养教育方法是适宜的。为一个五县地区政府资助的30家老年营养中心的管理人员举办了一次营养研讨会。在评估了中心管理人员和营养中心参与者的兴趣之后确定的研讨会课程，被整理成材料包分发给每位研讨会参与者，并辅以讲解和演示。一种前后测试评估工具，其中包括对中心老年人典型营养状况的录像模拟，用于测量研讨会前后的态度和知识。研讨会的结果是，根据测试工具衡量，知识显著增加，75%的管理人员报告在研讨会后的5个月内使用了这些材料和理念。
