Özet:
In the United States, millions of people are diabetic or at risk for becoming diabetic in their lifetime. In order to address the diabetic problem in the rural community, of Brown County, Texas, a nutrition education intervention was delivered to community members. The purpose of this quantitative pretest/posttest quality improvement project was to determine if a nutrition education intervention improves the nutrition knowledge of diabetic persons in Brown County, Texas. The project question posed was: Among persons with diabetes, in a rural Texas community, does delivery of hands-on culturally appropriate nutrition education intervention increase food and nutrition knowledge? A convenience sample of 11 (N=11) participants took a pretest prior to the two nutrition education interventions including a hands-on meal, and a posttest following the completion of the intervention. Results demonstrated through the nutrition knowledge pretest/posttest, taken from USDA ChooseMyPlate.gov, showed posttest total score was higher than the pretest total score, but the difference did not attain statistical significance (33.6 vs. 29.2, p = 0.10). Compared to pretest mean scores, the posttest mean score was higher for the protein section (6.9 vs. 5.6, p = 0.03) and this was statistically significant. Participants had higher posttest scores, on average, compared to pretest scores, for the vegetables (8.0 vs. 6.8, p = 0.16), grain (6.4 vs. 5.6, p = 0.30), fruit (5.4 vs. 4.8, p = 0.49) and dairy (7.0 vs. 6.3, p = 0.12) sections, though not statistically significant. Practice improvement was realized through the use of nursing nutrition knowledge for community education. Future education programs are needed to support positive health outcomes.
