This scoping review aimed to systematically map and describe the existing evidence regarding the knowledge, attitudes and practices of health professionals with regard to plant-based diets during pregnancy and to highlight areas for further research.
Following a pre-registered protocol, online databases were searched using a comprehensive search string, in addition to selected grey literature sources, and reference lists of included studies. The studies were independently screened for eligibility by two authors, SM and JM. Data from all eligible studies were charted by the first author, and a narrative summary was performed.
Maternal health care services.
Ten studies were included for review, from New Zealand ( 2), Australia ( 2), Germany, Netherlands, United Kingdom, France, Italy and Peru. Most of these studies were observational, employed various validated and non-validated survey instruments, interviews and one education intervention. Knowledge was the most frequently assessed outcome in the reviewed studies. Health professionals' knowledge of plant-based nutrition in pregnancy was reported to be limited and frequently attributed to a lack of nutrition training. Participants' personal dietary patterns and work specialisation appear to be closely associated with their knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding plant-based diets.
This review identified a significant research gap regarding health professionals' practices in relation to plant-based diets during pregnancy. Additionally, this review has demonstrated the need for further research, awareness and practice protocols to promote high-quality care and education or professional development to address the prevalent lack of knowledge among this group.
本范围综述旨在系统地绘制和描述健康专业人员在怀孕期间对植物性饮食的知识、态度和实践的现有证据，并突出进一步研究的领域。
根据预先注册的方案，使用综合搜索字符串在线搜索数据库，此外还搜索了选定的灰色文献来源和纳入研究的参考文献列表。两位作者 SM 和 JM 独立筛选研究的合格性。第一位作者对所有合格研究的数据进行了图表绘制，并进行了叙述性总结。
产妇保健服务。
综述纳入了 10 项研究，来自新西兰（2 项）、澳大利亚（2 项）、德国、荷兰、英国、法国、意大利和秘鲁。这些研究大多为观察性研究，采用了各种经过验证和未经验证的调查工具、访谈和一项教育干预措施。在综述研究中，知识是最常评估的结果。健康专业人员在怀孕期间对植物性营养的知识被报道是有限的，并且常常归因于缺乏营养培训。参与者的个人饮食模式和工作专业化似乎与他们对植物性饮食的知识、态度和实践密切相关。
本综述确定了与健康专业人员在怀孕期间与植物性饮食相关的实践方面存在重大研究差距。此外，本综述表明需要进一步研究、提高认识和实践方案，以促进高质量的护理和教育或专业发展，以解决该群体普遍缺乏知识的问题。
