To explore the experiences and perspectives of Canadian dietetic educators regarding food literacy and its incorporation into accredited undergraduate food and nutrition programs.
Semistructured qualitative interviews.
Canada.
Purposive sampling via email invitation of dietetic educators (n = 18) who teach academic courses in food and nutrition programs in Canada that lead to a career in dietetics.
How food literacy is understood and valued; where and how food literacy is being included in curricula; challenges to incorporation.
Interpretive description, concurrent data collection and analysis, constant comparative analysis, inductive coding, and development of themes.
Four themes were developed from the interview transcripts, which included the following: conceptualization of food literacy is still evolving; food literacy is important to the dietetic profession; aspects of food literacy felt to be well represented in curricula, but there is room for growth; and food literacy's incorporation in curricula is challenged by unclear key concepts.
A key first step to inform how food literacy is taught in dietetic education programs is to find agreement on an operational definition of food literacy in the context of dietetic practice and to clarify the role dietitians play in promoting food literacy.
探讨加拿大饮食教育工作者对食物素养及其纳入本科认可的食品与营养课程的经验和看法。
半结构化定性访谈。
加拿大。
通过电子邮件邀请加拿大食品与营养课程学术课程的饮食教育工作者（n = 18）进行目的抽样，这些课程通向饮食学职业。
食物素养如何被理解和重视；食物素养在课程中的纳入地点和方式；纳入的挑战。
解释性描述、同步数据收集与分析、持续比较分析、归纳编码和主题发展。
从访谈记录中形成了四个主题，包括以下内容：食物素养的概念仍在演变；食物素养对饮食学专业很重要；食物素养的各个方面在课程中被认为有很好的体现，但仍有增长空间；食物素养纳入课程受到关键概念不明确的挑战。
为饮食教育项目中食物素养的教学提供信息的关键第一步是在饮食实践背景下就食物素养的操作定义达成一致，并明确营养师在促进食物素养方面所起的作用。
