Celiac disease (CD) is a type of systemic autoimmune condition triggered by gluten consumption among genetically predisposed individuals.
To assess the knowledge, awareness, and practices pertaining to CD and associated conditions among dietitians in Jordan.
A cross-sectional web-based survey was carried out between April and October 2023. The survey was an internet-based questionnaire with closed-ended questions.
The majority of dietitians answered correctly that CD is caused due to an immunological reaction to gluten, gliadin, and protamine (91.7%); it is an autoimmune disease (71.2%); and the risk of developing an autoimmune disease is higher among CD patients (78.8). The majority of respondents (93.6%) correctly identified that a strict gluten-free diet is the treatment approach for CD patients. However, only (18.9%) of dietitians correctly identified the FDA guidelines for "Gluten Free" food labeling. Approximately 53.4% of respondents identified immunoglobulin (IgA) antibody testing as the most reliable way to diagnose patients with CD.
The dietitians have a good understanding of CD topics. The development of credentials in CD would ensure that dietitians practicing in CD are skilled.
乳糜泻（CD）是一种由遗传易感性个体摄入麸质引发的全身性自身免疫性疾病。
评估约旦营养师对乳糜泻及相关病症的知识、认知和实践情况。
于2023年4月至10月开展了一项基于网络的横断面调查。该调查采用基于互联网的问卷，包含封闭式问题。
大多数营养师正确回答出乳糜泻是由对麸质、麦醇溶蛋白和鱼精蛋白的免疫反应引起的（91.7%）；它是一种自身免疫性疾病（71.2%）；乳糜泻患者患自身免疫性疾病的风险更高（78.8）。大多数受访者（93.6%）正确认识到严格的无麸质饮食是乳糜泻患者的治疗方法。然而，只有18.9%的营养师正确识别了美国食品药品监督管理局（FDA）关于“无麸质”食品标签的指南。约53.4%的受访者认为免疫球蛋白（IgA）抗体检测是诊断乳糜泻患者最可靠的方法。
营养师对乳糜泻相关主题有较好的理解。获得乳糜泻相关资质将确保从事该领域工作的营养师具备专业技能。
