Strong evidence supports the benefits of the Mediterranean diet, but little is reported among patients and nurses regarding knowledge about the diet and its health benefits.
A pre-/post-test practice initiative was implemented to identify level of knowledge about the Mediterranean diet in patients with cancer and nursing staff and to provide education about the diet's health benefits.
A 17-item survey was developed to assess knowledge and willingness to try or recommend the Mediterranean diet, current practices, and general nutrition knowledge. A 10-minute education session was provided to patients and nursing staff. Descriptive statistics were used.
The majority of patients reported eating from one to four servings of fruits and vegetables daily. For patients and nursing staff, post-education session scores demonstrated increased knowledge, willingness to try the diet, and perceived effectiveness of the diet.
大量证据支持地中海饮食的益处，但关于患者和护士对该饮食及其健康益处的了解，报道甚少。
实施一项预/后测试实践计划，以确定癌症患者和护理人员对地中海饮食的了解程度，并提供有关该饮食健康益处的教育。
制定了一份包含 17 个问题的调查问卷，以评估患者和护理人员对地中海饮食的了解程度和尝试或推荐该饮食的意愿、当前的饮食实践以及一般营养知识。为患者和护理人员提供了 10 分钟的教育课程。使用描述性统计数据。
大多数患者报告每天食用一到四份水果和蔬菜。对于患者和护理人员来说，教育课程后的得分表明知识、尝试饮食的意愿以及对饮食有效性的认知都有所提高。
