A healthy and cost-free lunch were the top two benefits recognized by parents/caregivers. The survey estimated student participation in the program at 77%. For future program planning, universal and cost-free were favoured program aspects to continue. In addition, 68% of parents/caregivers demonstrated a willingness to pay $2.00 per child per lunch. Understanding parental/caregiver expectations and attitudes towards SFPs can inform the planning, decision-making, and sustainability for future models and a national school food policy in Canada.","PeriodicalId":56135,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Dietetic Practice and Research","volume":" ","pages":"1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143257413","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nutrition interventions often focus on individual behaviours and fail to consider that the social determinants of health (SDH) have a greater impact on chronic disease risk. A narrative review was conducted to identify the SDH in nutrition care interventions for the SA diaspora in Canada. The final analysis included fourteen articles from which SDH were identified and categorized based on the Social Ecological Model (SEM). The study analysis yielded the following needs in dietetic practice based on the SEM: (1) intrapersonal - need for language appropriate services, and representation of cultural foods and non-Western health perspectives in dietary guidelines, (2) interpersonal - understanding family and friends as social supports, (3) community - incorporating peer and community leader influences, (4) institution - importance of faith-based locations as community hubs, and client workplaces as a barrier to attending appointments, and (5) policy - advocacy for transportation and childcare access, adequate and secure income, and equitable care. These findings urge dietitians to move beyond cultural awareness, sensitivity, and competence to practicing cultural safety and humility in their practice, which is integral to providing equitable care.","PeriodicalId":56135,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Dietetic Practice and Research","volume":" ","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143017144","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Implementing JBI scoping review methodology, four databases were searched: (i) CINAHL (EBSCO); (ii) Medline (Ovid); (iii) Embase (Elsevier); and (iv) Scopus (Elsevier). Google and Bing were searched for grey literature. Three JBI-trained independent reviewers completed screening to extraction. Community consultation was conducted using the Delphi Method. Of 2217 results, 67 were included in the review (29 peer-reviewed; 38 grey). Identified frequencies were 67 examples of perception, 54 of experience, and 51 of knowledge. This review identified diverse definitions/perspectives of weight-related evidence, highlighting the benefits of continuing to discuss and explore this topic within and beyond dietetics. Weight-related evidence was identified in nutrition care in various settings, representing nutrition assessment, diagnoses, interventions, monitoring, and evaluation. Focused on dietetic research and practice, this work provides a foundation for future evaluation of dietitian-led intervention fidelity, utility, and effectiveness, using systematic review or other research designs.

Quantitative data analysis was employed using Microsoft Excel.Results: A total of 93 dietitians completed the survey. Most participants understood that fasting involved abstaining from food and drink (90%, 80/90). Further, participants (71%, 65/92) reported they had never provided care during Ramadan to fasting Muslims, and some (55%, 48/88) felt they did not have access to nutrition guidelines to help Muslims choosing to fast during Ramadan. Yet, 97% (85/88) of participants believe understanding Ramadan is important to providing culturally safe care.Conclusion: Few registered dietitians in Saskatchewan had knowledge regarding Ramadan fasting practices. Some Saskatchewan dietitians may feel uncomfortable due to the limited experience reported providing care to Muslims during Ramadan. Future research should further investigate Canadian dietitians' knowledge, attitude, and practices providing culturally safe care to Muslims during Ramadan.","PeriodicalId":56135,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Dietetic Practice and Research","volume":" ","pages":"1-3"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142916399","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This review addresses this gap by providing comprehensive guidance on how to calculate sample size in nutrition research. Emphasizing the importance of an a priori sample size calculation, the review outlines the key considerations, including the desired levels of significance and power, effect size estimation, and standard deviation assessment. Formulas for determining sample size for various comparisons, including two proportions, two means, three or more groups, and unevenly sized groups, are provided, along with strategies for addressing loss to follow-up. Hypothetical examples illustrate these formulas' application across different research scenarios, highlighting their practical value in ensuring study robustness. Additionally, the review discusses common pitfalls in sample size estimation, such as misjudging effect size or standard deviation, and emphasizes the need for transparent reporting of sample size calculations to enable accurate interpretation of study findings. This article is a resource for nutrition researchers, offering guidance on conducting appropriate sample size calculations to bolster methodological rigor and study reliability. By embracing the principles outlined herein, researchers can elevate the quality of nutrition research.","PeriodicalId":56135,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Dietetic Practice and Research","volume":" ","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142787837","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Students enrolled in a Nutrition Assessment course that included a series of four simulations were invited to participate. Students completed an online pre-post simulation survey and engaged in individual interviews and a focus group discussion. The questionnaires included demographic questions and the French State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. Nonparametric tests and thematic analysis were used to examine data.Results: Fourteen students participated in the study's quantitative component and seven in the qualitative component. There was a significant decrease in trait (44.5 ± 13.8 vs 32.0 ± 14.0, P = 0.01) and state (47.0 ± 11.2 vs 33.0 ± 18.0, P = 0.05) anxiety from pre- to post-simulations. Individual factors influencing students' anxiety levels were stress and self-confidence. External factors influencing students' anxiety levels were unknown situations, observers, patient profiles, observers' feedback, preparation level, and academic setting.Conclusions: Our findings suggest that ensuring the educator is not present during simulations, advance preparation, and reassurance that simulations are a learning and not an evaluation activity may be effective pedagogical strategies for dietetic educators to reduce learners' anxiety and facilitate competency development.","PeriodicalId":56135,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Dietetic Practice and Research","volume":" ","pages":"1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142775132","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The GSH programme combined a self-help book and weekly support phone calls. Participants were assessed at baseline, at week 4, postintervention, and 12 weeks following its end. Feasibility was measured by attrition rates, participation, and satisfaction. Acceptability was measured by a questionnaire based on the Theoretical Framework of Acceptability. Potential efficacy outcomes were objective binge eating days, eating disorder symptomatology, depressive symptoms, and propensity to eat intuitively.Results: The GSH programme has proven feasible (4.5% attrition, 91% completion, 95.5% satisfaction) and acceptable.
