Abstract
Diabetes is the most common metabolic dysfunction in pregnancy. The objective of this study was to assess the effectiveness of diabetes knowledge using various educational interventions, including Web-based, traditional in-person class, and a combination of Web-based and in-person education. A quasi-experimental nonequivalent control group pre/posttest design was utilized to assess diabetes and nutrition-related knowledge. There was no statistical difference found among the 3 interventions regarding the mean difference in pretest and posttest scores (P > .05). However, there was a statistically significant mean change in pretest and posttest scores for each intervention group (P < .05), indicating an improvement in nutrition knowledge in each group.
期刊介绍:
Topics in Clinical Nutrition (TICN) is a peer-reviewed, quarterly journal designed as a resource for the continuing education and clinical practice of dietitians and nutritionists. Each issue addresses topics of interest primarily to dietitians and nutritionists, students and interns in professional training programs and other health care personnel involved in the nutritional care of patients. Articles include translational research reports (work that applies new knowledge to practical effect), practice projects, evidence-based literature reviews, case studies and book reviews, and articles that highlight education theory and applied research which share the tools and techniques of nutrition and dietetics education.
