“…This questionnaire includes questions regarding general recommendations and disease-related questions. In line with international literature and validated questionnaires from other countries such as Brazil, Finland, Australia, and Spain [18][19][20][21], the recently developed 29-item questionnaire covers general nutrition-and sports nutritionrelated topics: (1) energy and weight management, (2) macronutrients, and (3) specific knowledge (micronutrients, hydration management, and dietary supplements). Questions are asked in a close-ended manner.…”

“…Therefore, international comparisons are and will be difficult to assess, as each country should adopt questionnaires for their international food habits and culture [24,30]. However, this questionnaire is, with permission, like many others [18,19,21], based on a recently developed and validated questionnaire [44] and considered the most recent standard for sports nutritional guidelines. Hence, it appears fair to assume that this ensures the best possible international comparability.…”

“…These include referring to outdated recommendations, showing a lack of comprehensiveness, and not being adapted to the cultural aspects of respondents. When searching for questionnaires, we found validated questionnaires in different languages, such as Portuguese, Finnish, English, and Spanish [18][19][20][21] and many non-validated questionnaires that are considered critical in terms of producing valid and reliable results [22]. To evaluate the nutritional knowledge of German athletes, it is necessary to apply a questionnaire in the German language.…”

Despite the availability of nutritional recommendations, studies have reported inadequate nutrition in athletes. The existing literature highlights the importance of the nutritional knowledge of both athletes and coaches in influencing athletes’ food choices and behavior, as well as its direct and indirect impact on athletes’ performance and health. To adequately assess nutritional knowledge, monitoring via valid and reliable questionnaires is required. As no questionnaire tailored to German-speaking athletes and coaches exists, this study aimed at developing a new General and Sports Nutritional Knowledge Questionnaire for Athletes and Coaches (GSNKQ-AC). The development followed a literature-based, ten-step validation approach. The initial questionnaire (63 items) was revised and reduced to 29 items in the final version after conducting construct verification in the target group (n = 84 athletes and coaches), evaluating content validity by a panel of nutrition experts (n = 8), verifying face validity by think-out-loud interviews in the target group (n = 7), and conducting classical test theory for item reduction analysis (n = 53). For the final GSNKQ-AC, internal consistency, calculated as Cronbach’s alpha, was 0.87. Students with a focus on sports nutrition (n = 31) scored significantly higher than athletes and coaches (n = 53), revealing good construct validity (77% vs. 62%, p < 0.001). Test–retest reliability (n = 42, matched pairs) showed a Spearman’s correlation coefficient of r = 0.61 (p < 0.01). The brief GSNKQ-AC can be used for status quo or longitudinal assessment of nutritional knowledge among athletes and coaches to reveal gaps and ensure purposeful planning of educational interventions.

The objective of this study was to identify and discuss the tools for the promotion and evaluation of adequate and healthy eating based on the Food Guide for the Brazilian Population. The scoping review was conducted according to the JBI Manual for Evidence Synthesis via the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) checklist and by searching PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, SciELO and LILACS. Sixteen studies on relevant tools, based on the food guide for individuals of all age groups, were thus included: two descriptive studies, two randomized clinical trial protocols, eleven methodological analyses, and one psychometric paper, aimed at either a focal population (n=12) or health professionals (n=4). Six studies addressed tools for promoting adequate and healthy eating, and ten developed tools for evaluating dietary practices or the knowledge and activities of health professionals. This review can therefore assist health professionals in choosing instruments for the implementation and/or dissemination of food guide recommendations, contributing to the promotion of adequate and healthy eating habits.

“…Content validation is fundamental for any evaluation instrument, as it demonstrates that the choice and format of the items consistently and adequately represent the content that is intended to be measured, in addition to being a quality criterion of that content [35,36]. Expert judgment is used as a tool for content validation [37].…”

RESUMO Objetivo Construir e validar o conteúdo de um instrumento para avaliar a organização da atenção nutricional na Atenção Primária à Saúde no Brasil. Métodos Trata-se de um estudo transversal e de validação. A construção do Instrumento de Avaliação da Atenção Nutricional foi baseada em revisão de literatura e em consulta a documentos oficiais. O instrumento foi submetido à validação de conteúdo utilizando técnica Delphi em duas rodadas. Resultados O painel para validação foi formado por 29 especialistas das cinco Macrorregiões Brasileiras: 13 docentes/pesquisadores do ensino superior, sete gestores de alimentação e de nutrição, quatro profissionais da Atenção Primária à Saúde e cinco alinhados ao tema, a maioria (89,7%) atuante em serviços públicos, com experiência acima de seis anos. O instrumento validado contém 68 questões e 10 indicadores: (1) Atuação do nutricionista; (2) Apoio às ações de Atenção Nutricional: infraestrutura e educação permanente; (3) Intersetorialidade; (4) Controle Social; (5) Vigilância Alimentar e Nutricional; (6) Atenção Nutricional Individual; (7) Atenção Nutricional para grupos; (8) Atenção Nutricional voltada ao pré-natal; (9) Atenção Nutricional voltada ao puerpério/aleitamento e (10) Atenção Nutricional à saúde da criança. Conclusão O instrumento proposto avança ao viabilizar o estabelecimento de processos avaliativos da Atenção Nutricional. Espera-se que ele seja amplamente utilizado para avaliar a atenção nutricional ofertada em municípios, em estados e na esfera federal. Os resultados obtidos com futuras aplicações poderão contribuir para respaldar a qualificação da gestão das políticas de alimentação e de nutrição.
