Abstract

BackgroundMedical students often lack sufficient nutrition education, leading to confidence gaps and an inability to address this healthcare aspect. Culinary Medicine (CM) courses offer an innovative solution.MethodsWe tested the first French-speaking CM courses among 2 groups of second-third year medical students, compared to a control group (CG). The objectives were to assess if an optional CM course could enhance their confidence in both nutritional knowledge and providing nutritional advice, and improve their food agency (CAFPAS: Cooking and Food Provisioning Action Scale). The analysis examines changes in scores by comparing post-session to pre-session questionnaire measurements.ResultsOf the 22 CM students and 6 in CG, predominantly aged 20-25 years, Caucasian, and female, the majority (CG = 100%, CM = 86.4%) reported <5 hours of nutrition education. Almost all expressed dissatisfaction with nutrition education provided in medicine, both quantitatively and qualitatively. CM students reported significantly increased confidence in their knowledge and ability to advise about nutrition during the sessions. We also observed improvements in their CAFPAS scores, which measure food agency, while the control group exhibited no change in confidence or CAFPAS scores.ConclusionThe findings highlight CM as practical strategy for integrating nutrition education into medical curricula, offering insights for enhancing future physicians’ knowledge.

提高营养知识信心和食品代理能力:医科学生首届法语烹饪医学课程的成果
背景医科学生往往缺乏足够的营养教育,导致信心不足,无法解决这一医疗保健方面的问题。烹饪医学(CM)课程提供了一种创新的解决方案。方法我们在两组二年级至三年级的医学生中测试了首个讲法语的烹饪医学课程,并与对照组(CG)进行了比较。我们的目标是评估选修 CM 课程是否能增强学生对营养知识和提供营养建议的信心,并提高他们的食物代理能力(CAFPAS:烹饪和食物供应行动量表)。通过比较课后与课前的问卷测量,分析了得分的变化。结果在 22 名 CM 学生和 6 名 CG 学生中,大多数(CG = 100%,CM = 86.4%)表示接受过 5 个小时的营养教育。无论是从数量上还是质量上看,几乎所有学生都对医学营养教育表示不满。中医学学生表示,在课程期间,他们对营养知识和建议能力的信心明显增强。我们还观察到他们的 CAFPAS 分数(衡量食物代理能力)有所提高,而对照组的信心或 CAFPAS 分数均无变化。
