As the prevalence of eating disorders continues to increase, there is an urgent need to equip the emerging dietetics workforce to provide care to this growing population. The present study aimed to describe a five-step design thinking process that was applied to brainstorm ideas and develop and test solutions for consideration in the future.
A pragmatic, five-step design thinking approach was used during a 1-day, in-person design thinking retreat. Purposive sampling was used to identify key stakeholders, including subject matter, learning and teaching, as well as lived experience experts, dietetics students and recent graduates. Reflexive thematic analysis was used to analyse brainstormed and design solution ideas.
Seventeen participants attended the design thinking retreat in April 2023. Four education prototypes were developed and tested by stakeholders including: (1) a change to accreditation requirements for dietetics curricula; (2) a multimodal learning package for penultimate year students; (3) embedding disordered eating and eating disorder content into existing curriculum and upskilling educators; and (4) codesigning an eating disorder module.
The design thinking retreat engaged a variety of stakeholders in curriculum design resulting in an array of prototype approaches that aimed to embed eating disorder content into university curricula. Further research is needed to test the prototypes and understand what impact this has on dietetics students' feelings of preparedness to provide care to people seeking this support.
随着饮食失调症的患病率持续上升，我们迫切需要为新兴的营养学工作者提供培训，以满足这一不断增长的人群的需求。本研究旨在描述一个五步设计思维过程，该过程用于集思广益，并开发和测试未来可供考虑的解决方案。
在为期一天的实地设计思维务虚会上，采用了实用的五步设计思维方法。采用目的性抽样方法确定了关键利益相关者，包括主题事项、学习和教学以及生活经验专家、营养学学生和应届毕业生。使用反思性主题分析对头脑风暴和设计解决方案的想法进行分析。
2023 年 4 月，17 名参与者参加了设计思维务虚会。利益相关者开发并测试了四个教育原型，包括：（1）改变营养学课程的认证要求；（2）为倒数第二年的学生提供多模式学习包；（3）将饮食失调和饮食失调内容嵌入现有课程并提高教育者的技能；以及（4）共同设计饮食失调模块。
设计思维务虚会让各种利益相关者参与课程设计，提出了一系列原型方法，旨在将饮食失调内容嵌入大学课程中。需要进一步研究来测试这些原型，并了解这对营养学学生为寻求这种支持的人提供护理的准备程度有何影响。
