Abstract

Objective: To qualitatively evaluate the acceptability and end-user perspectives of a 3-component Fresh Produce and Healthy Eating intervention seeking to increase fruit and vegetable consumption among individuals with serious mental illnesses (SMI) in residential settings.

Methods: Twenty-seven interviews were conducted with housing residents with SMI, curriculum instructors, agency leadership, and mobile market staff. Interviews were analyzed using thematic analysis.

Results: Each intervention component had high levels of acceptability. Residents perceived improved knowledge and self-efficacy for preparing and eating produce, and instructors noted impacts on their eating habits. Barriers to program implementation included logistical hurdles. Recommendations for improvement related to kitchen space, safety protocols, transportation, and skill building.

Conclusions and implications: Findings reveal the acceptability of this novel intervention. Future research is needed to understand how this intervention may require modifications for different subpopulations of people with SMI or residential settings. Additional research is warranted to track sustainability and effectiveness in changing dietary habits.

对严重精神疾病患者进行新鲜农产品干预的可接受性。

目的定性评估由三个部分组成的 "新鲜农产品和健康饮食 "干预措施的可接受性和最终用户的观点，该干预措施旨在增加居住环境中患有严重精神疾病（SMI）的个人的水果和蔬菜消费量：对患有严重精神疾病（SMI）的居住者、课程指导者、机构领导和流动市场工作人员进行了 27 次访谈。采用主题分析法对访谈进行了分析：结果：每项干预内容的可接受性都很高。居民认为自己在准备和食用农产品方面的知识和自我效能得到了提高，指导员也注意到了对他们饮食习惯的影响。计划实施的障碍包括后勤障碍。改进建议涉及厨房空间、安全协议、交通和技能培养：调查结果揭示了这种新型干预措施的可接受性。今后还需要开展研究，以了解针对不同的 SMI 患者亚群或居住环境，该干预措施可能需要做出哪些修改。还需要进行更多的研究，以追踪改变饮食习惯的可持续性和有效性。
