The purpose of this study is to describe our culinary medicine elective course with a lifestyle modification focus and to evaluate the students' perceived knowledge and attitudes in lifestyle medicine.
Pre- and post-surveys including quantitative assessment, Likert-type questions, and one open-ended response question to assess students' perceived knowledge of nutrition and lifestyle medicine were distributed to osteopathic medical students who participated in the culinary medicine elective course. The Mann-Whitney test and dependent test were used where appropriate based on normality.
Compared to the pre-course survey, students who responded "strongly agree" in questions related to nutrition counseling in the post-course survey were 26.5 to 31.3% higher ( < 0.05). Based on the post-course survey ( = 34), 33 students responded either "strongly agree" ( = 25, 73.5%) or "agree" ( = 8, 23.5%) to the question of "increased my knowledge of nutrition."
Culinary medicine courses with a lifestyle medicine focus may be effective in increasing medical students' confidence and perceived knowledge of nutrition and lifestyle medicine.
本研究旨在描述我们以生活方式改变为重点的烹饪医学选修课程，并评估学生对生活方式医学的认知知识和态度。
对参加烹饪医学选修课程的整骨医学学生进行课前和课后调查，包括定量评估、李克特式问题以及一个开放式回答问题，以评估学生对营养和生活方式医学的认知知识。根据正态性在适当情况下使用曼-惠特尼检验和相关检验。
与课前调查相比，在课后调查中对与营养咨询相关问题回答“强烈同意”的学生高出26.5%至31.3%（<0.05）。根据课后调查（=34），33名学生对“增加了我对营养的知识”这一问题回答“强烈同意”（=25，73.5%）或“同意”（=8，23.5%）。
以生活方式医学为重点的烹饪医学课程可能有效地提高医学生对营养和生活方式医学的信心和认知知识。
