Abstract

Older adults have low whole grain (WG) intake. This qualitative study used the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) to identify low-income older adults' WG beliefs. A convenience sample of 25 low-income adults 60 years and older were interviewed using questions developed based on TPB constructs: behavioral, normative, and control beliefs. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, cross-checked for consistency, and analyzed using content analysis. Study results revealed that regarding behavioral beliefs, health benefits, taste, and nutrition were WG advantages and sensory qualities, higher cost, and longer cooking time were disadvantages. Regarding normative beliefs, healthcare professionals and family members approved WG intake and those less informed about WGs disapproved. Regarding control beliefs, availability/accessibility, knowledge of WG benefits, and WG cooking skills facilitated WG intake and age-related changes, WG cost, decreased motivation to cook, and low knowledge (label reading) were barriers. Results provide insights for developing programs to increase older adults' WG intake.

利用计划行为理论了解低收入老年人的全谷物消费。

老年人全谷物(WG)摄入量低。本研究采用计划行为理论(TPB)对低收入老年人的工作信念进行定性分析。我们选取了25名60岁及以上的低收入成年人作为方便样本，使用基于TPB结构的问题进行了访谈:行为信念、规范信念和控制信念。访谈录音，逐字抄录，反复核对一致性，并使用内容分析进行分析。研究结果表明，在行为信念方面，健康益处、味道和营养是WG优势，感官品质是WG优势，成本高、烹饪时间长是WG劣势。关于规范性信念，医疗保健专业人员和家庭成员赞成WG摄入，而那些不太了解WG的人不赞成。关于控制信念、可得性/可及性、对WG利益的了解和WG烹饪技能促进了WG摄入和与年龄相关的变化，WG成本、烹饪动机下降和低知识(标签阅读)是障碍。结果为制定增加老年人WG摄入量的计划提供了见解。
