Awareness of nutrition's role in chronic diseases is rising, demanding guidance on the diet-disease relationship. Nutritional practices become crucial for prevention, prompting healthcare professionals (HCP) to respond. The present study assessed a Culinary Medicine (CM) program's impact on HCP's Mediterranean diet adherence, food and diet therapy knowledge, food management skills, culinary proficiency, and counseling confidence. A mixed-methods pilot implementation program (PIP) engaged 20 HCP from Hospital Clinic Barcelona at the Alícia Foundation kitchen-lab. Four 8-hour CM sessions, held weekly, covered culinary knowledge emphasizing disease prevention and care. All twenty participants; 86% women, 14% men, 86% aged above 40, 14% between 31 and 39 years, 71% nurses, 7% medical doctors and 21% other occupation, completed the course and fourteen fulfilled pre-and post-program questionnaires. Notably, 86% had prior nutrition training, while only 14% had culinary training. After the program, there was significant improvement in Mediterranean diet adherence ( < .05). Perceptions on dietary advice usefulness, patient-transferable knowledge acquisition, cooking techniques, and personal cooking skills confidence showed post-course improvements. This study underscores the potential of hands-on CM training in HCP nutrition education, influencing their culinary knowledge. Future studies with larger samples is needed to elucidate CM training's impact on HCP and potential public health benefits.
人们对营养在慢性病中的作用的认识正在提高,这就需要有关饮食与疾病关系的指导。营养实践对于预防至关重要,促使医疗保健专业人员(HCP)做出回应。本研究评估了烹饪医学(CM)项目对HCP坚持地中海饮食、食物和饮食疗法知识、食物管理技能、烹饪水平以及咨询信心的影响。一个混合方法的试点实施项目(PIP)让来自巴塞罗那医院诊所的20名HCP在阿莉西亚基金会的厨房实验室参与其中。每周举行四次,每次8小时的CM课程涵盖了强调疾病预防和护理的烹饪知识。所有20名参与者;86%为女性,14%为男性,86%年龄在40岁以上,14%年龄在31至39岁之间,71%为护士,7%为医生,21%为其他职业,完成了课程,14人填写了课程前后的问卷。值得注意的是,86%的人之前接受过营养培训,而只有14%的人接受过烹饪培训。课程结束后,坚持地中海饮食方面有显著改善(<.05)。对饮食建议有用性、可传授给患者的知识获取、烹饪技巧以及个人烹饪技能信心的认知在课程结束后有所改善。本研究强调了实践CM培训在HCP营养教育中的潜力,影响了他们的烹饪知识。需要进行更大样本的未来研究,以阐明CM培训对HCP的影响以及潜在的公共卫生益处。
