Abstract
Background: Primary care physicians (PCPs) and nurse practitioners play a key role in guiding caregivers on early peanut protein (PP) introduction, yet many lack adequate knowledge.
Aim statement: This quality improvement study aimed to enhance understanding among PCPs and caregivers about evidence-based guidelines for early PP introduction in infants' diets.
Methods: Using the Stetler Model, PCP knowledge was evaluated through pre-test, educational video and some posttest material. Caregivers completed the Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool (PEMAT) survey after reviewing an educational handout RESULTS: The N = 22 PCPs pre-education test score had an average of 61.11% and noted N = 21 PCPs posteducation test score average to increase to 84.09%. The N = 68 caregivers completed the PEMAT survey, with results indicating enhanced caregiver knowledge. Infant participation in PP introduction was tracked, alongside ingestion frequency.
Conclusions: Findings in this study underscore the value of education in fostering proactive counseling and informed practices in clinical settings.
