Nutrition information is provided by proper nutrition education and nutrition education programs have a direct impact on nutrition knowledge and behavior. This study aims to determine the effect of nutrition education on diet quality, sustainable nutrition and eating behavior. Cross-sectional survey.
The study was carried out on a total of 204 individuals, 21 males and 183 females, who were studying in the 3rd and 4th grades of Başkent University Faculty of Health Sciences.
Mean Adequacy Ratio (MAR) score calculated with the Nutrient Adequacy Ratio (NAR) was used to evaluate the diet quality. 'Sustainable and Healthy Eating Behaviors Scale' was applied to measure sustainable and healthy eating behaviors.
A questionnaire including personal information and anthropometric measurements of the individuals and a 24-hour dietary recall was taken. Food consumption records were evaluated using the Nutrition Information System. In order to evaluate the quality of the diet, the Mean Adequacy Ratio (MAR) score calculated with the Nutrient Adequacy Ratio (NAR) was used. 'Sustainable and Healthy Eating Behaviors Scale' was applied to measure sustainable and healthy eating behaviors. SPSS 20.0 package program was applied to evaluate the data.
In the study, 47.5% of the individuals were educated in Nutrition and Dietetics program and 52.5% were in other programs. The diet quality of 44.8% of the individuals studying in the Nutrition and Dietetics program and 56.4% of the individuals studying in the other programs were determined as 'good' according to the MAR levels classification. No significant difference was found in terms of MAR levels of individuals according to the departments they read (p > 0.05). The average score of the 'Healthy and Balanced Nutrition' factor in the scale of sustainable and healthy eating behaviors was higher in individuals who were studying in the Nutrition and Dietetics program. The average scores of 'Seasonal Food' and 'Low Fat' factor were found to be significantly higher in girls studying in the Nutrition and Dietetics program (p < 0.05).
It was determined that nutrition education is effective on sustainable and healthy eating behaviors. Considering the importance of nutrition education on the health of individuals and sustainable environment, it is of great importance in terms of public health to increase the awareness of the society on this issue.
通过适当的营养教育提供营养信息，营养教育计划对营养知识和行为有直接影响。本研究旨在确定营养教育对饮食质量、可持续营养和饮食行为的影响。
这项研究共涉及 204 人，其中男性 21 人，女性 183 人，均就读于巴什肯特大学健康科学学院 3 年级和 4 年级。
使用营养素充足率（NAR）计算平均充足率（MAR）评分来评估饮食质量。采用可持续和健康饮食行为量表来衡量可持续和健康的饮食行为。
个人信息和人体测量数据的问卷以及 24 小时饮食回忆被采集。通过营养信息系统评估食物消耗记录。为了评估饮食质量，使用营养素充足率（NAR）计算平均充足率（MAR）评分。采用可持续和健康饮食行为量表来衡量可持续和健康的饮食行为。采用 SPSS 20.0 软件包程序对数据进行评估。
研究中，47.5%的个体接受营养与饮食学课程教育，52.5%的个体接受其他课程教育。根据 MAR 水平分类，44.8%的营养与饮食学课程学生和 56.4%的其他课程学生的饮食质量被确定为“良好”。根据就读专业，个体的 MAR 水平无显著差异（p>0.05）。在可持续和健康饮食行为量表中，“健康均衡营养”因子的平均得分在营养与饮食学课程学生中较高。在营养与饮食学课程的女生中，“季节性食物”和“低脂肪”因子的平均得分显著较高（p<0.05）。
营养教育对可持续和健康的饮食行为有积极影响。考虑到营养教育对个人健康和可持续环境的重要性，提高社会对此问题的认识对公共卫生具有重要意义。
