Title

A Pilot Study On Innovative And Interactive Nutrition Education Materials For Pediatric Cancer Patients And Their Caretakers – Development, Relevance and Application

Abstract

Abstract: Nutrition education programs have shown positive impact on the health of children and significant changes can be attributed with parental participation. Though nutrition education is provided, there is a need to improve nutrition education materials that is innovative and interactive to bring about a positive response in children with cancer. This study is thus an approach to develop new and interactive nutrition education tools that can have a positive effect in improving knowledge about nutrition among cancer patients and their caretakers. Methods: Innovative and interactive nutrition education tools like educational video, board game, and slideshow for patients and recipe booklet, slideshow, role play skit with flashcards and group discussion protocol for caretakers with questionnaires for each tool was developed. All tools and questionnaires developed were validated for content by two practicing pediatric dietitians. The same was evaluated and rated on average based on their acceptance, relevance and application in a clinic setup by 25 pediatric dietitians in Mumbai. Response was evaluated using percentage method. Results: In the study, 92% and 100% liked tools and questionnaires respectively. The tools were found applicable in a clinic setup by 80% dietitians. Most of the dietitians rated the characteristics of the tools and questionnaires as above average (Good and Excellent). Effectiveness of the tools can be measured once tested. The development of interactive and innovative nutrition education tools to assure proper nutrition and knowledge might be helpful in bringing about healthy behavioral change in pediatric cancer patients and their caretakers. Further research to test these is thus a need of the hour to bring about a greater change and improve the health of pediatric cancer patients.
