This scoping review assessed the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of general practitioners (GPs) regarding dietary advice for weight management. A systematic search of PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, and MEDLINE was conducted for any qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods studies published in the past five years that informed GPs' dietary advice for weight control. Thirteen studies were included in the analysis after screening 881 papers. These studies tended to focus mostly on GPs' practices rather than their knowledge and attitudes. The most frequently mentioned dietary advice was to reduce calorie intake; however, 32 different types of dietary advice were identified in the literature, including approaches such as intermittent fasting and a ketogenic diet that are not recommended in current guidelines. GPs showed varying levels of knowledge and attitudes regarding the best dietary advice for patients. Further research is needed to better understand GP perspectives, with efforts to assist GPs in providing tailored advice based on the latest evidence to improve patient outcomes required.
本范围综述评估了全科医生(GP)在饮食建议方面管理体重的知识、态度和实践。对过去五年内发表的任何定性、定量和混合方法研究进行了系统检索,这些研究为 GP 提供控制体重的饮食建议提供了信息。经过筛选 881 篇论文后,有 13 项研究被纳入分析。这些研究往往主要集中在 GP 的实践,而不是他们的知识和态度。最常提到的饮食建议是减少卡路里摄入;然而,文献中确定了 32 种不同类型的饮食建议,包括间歇性禁食和生酮饮食等目前指南不推荐的方法。GP 对患者最佳饮食建议的知识和态度存在差异。需要进一步研究以更好地了解 GP 的观点,并努力帮助 GP 根据最新证据提供个性化建议,以改善患者的治疗效果。
