The objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of food safety and hygiene course on the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of dietetics students. A repeated measure pre/post-intervention study was used to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and self-reported practices regarding food safety and hygiene among undergraduate dietetics students (n = 63) enrolled in a course on food safety and hygiene in Saudi Arabia. Students were asked to complete an online questionnaire divided into five sections that covered key food-safety concepts before and at the end of the course to determine changes in these variables. Overall, students' knowledge, attitudes, and practices improved significantly after attending the course on food safety and hygiene. Scores for total knowledge increased from 16.51±2.60 before the course to 20.60±2.01 after it (p < 0.001). The total score for attitudes improved from 9.16±1.43 before the course to 9.92±0.27 after it (p < 0.001). The total score for practices increased from 11.0±3.10 before the course to 14.78±3.41 after it (p < 0.001).The course on food safety and hygiene helped to improve the knowledge, attitudes, and self-reported practices of food safety by dietetics students.
本研究的目的是评估食品安全与卫生课程对营养学专业学生的知识、态度和实践的影响。采用重复测量干预前/后研究，对沙特阿拉伯参加食品安全与卫生课程的本科营养学专业学生（n = 63）关于食品安全与卫生的知识、态度和自我报告的实践进行评估。要求学生在课程开始前和结束时完成一份分为五个部分的在线问卷，涵盖关键的食品安全概念，以确定这些变量的变化。总体而言，学生在参加食品安全与卫生课程后，其知识、态度和实践有显著改善。总知识得分从课程前的16.51±2.60提高到课程后的20.60±2.01（p < 0.001）。态度总得分从课程前的9.16±1.43提高到课程后的9.92±0.27（p < 0.001）。实践总得分从课程前的11.0±3.10提高到课程后的14.78±3.41（p < 0.001）。食品安全与卫生课程有助于提高营养学专业学生的食品安全知识、态度和自我报告的实践。
