Abstract
Objective: Compare the effectiveness of instructional videos with print handouts when educating family medicine patients about the use of herbs and spices to reduce sodium, saturated fat, and added sugars during meal preparation.
Design: Enrollees were randomized to either view 5 short videos or read 3 handouts. The intervention was implemented while patients waited for their provider to begin their appointment. Postintervention surveys were completed on the patient's smartphone.
Setting: Penn State Health family medicine clinics.
Participants: Patients who attended in-person appointments between September 2022 and August 2023 (n = 102).
Main outcome measure(s): The impact of video and handout intervention on participants' interest, confidence, knowledge, and intention to use herbs and spices and their perceptions of the intervention.
Analysis: Descriptive statistics summarized sample characteristics; t tests compared video and handout groups.
Results: The video group had higher scores for interest, confidence, and intention to use herbs and spices. Participants perceived the videos as clearer (P = 0.001) and more appropriately complex (P = 0.02) than the handout materials.
Conclusions and implications: Videos were superior to handouts in promoting interest, confidence, and intention to use herbs and spices for healthier cooking. Videos may improve patient engagement and preventive health care practices in clinical settings.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior (JNEB), the official journal of the Society for Nutrition Education and Behavior, is a refereed, scientific periodical that serves as a global resource for all professionals with an interest in nutrition education; nutrition and physical activity behavior theories and intervention outcomes; complementary and alternative medicine related to nutrition behaviors; food environment; food, nutrition, and physical activity communication strategies including technology; nutrition-related economics; food safety education; and scholarship of learning related to these areas.
The purpose of JNEB is to document and disseminate original research and emerging issues and practices relevant to these areas worldwide. The Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior welcomes evidence-based manuscripts that provide new insights and useful findings related to nutrition education research, practice and policy. The content areas of JNEB reflect the diverse interests in nutrition and physical activity related to public health, nutritional sciences, education, behavioral economics, family and consumer sciences, and eHealth, including the interests of community-based nutrition-practitioners. As the Society''s official journal, JNEB also includes policy statements, issue perspectives, position papers, and member communications.
