“… 61 Unsurprisingly, vets were knowledgeable on the purpose of antimicrobials and the potential risks. Overall, studies have ascertained that elevating knowledge is one way to instigate behaviour change, 78–80 with numerous studies highlighting the benefits of different platforms used for farmers and vets to increase awareness of antimicrobials and compliance with antimicrobial stewardship strategies. Therefore, future strategy design should facilitate continuous education opportunities suitable for vets and farmers, which will elevate their knowledge.…”

JAC-Antimicrobial Resistance

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global health emergency affecting humans and animals, diminishing the effectiveness of medication used to treat illness. The agri-food sector has attracted increased attention for imprudent antimicrobial use (AMU) and its contribution to AMR. Thus, ascertaining farmers’ and veterinarians’ behaviours surrounding AMU is essential to address imprudent AMU and generate behaviour change within the agri-food sector. Therefore, the aim of this critical review is to investigate, assess and collate the current body of evidence to identify psychosocial factors including knowledge, understanding, perceptions, attitudes and behaviours surrounding AMU. Database searches were limited to articles utilizing qualitative and quantitative methodologies, available in English with no restriction on publication year. Of the 1156 articles identified, 103 were retained for this review. Findings on the psychosocial aspects were thematically analysed. Five key themes emerged from the data: (i) knowledge and awareness of antimicrobials; (ii) attitudes towards antimicrobials; (iii) influential relationships; (iv) resources; and (v) factors influencing AMU. Results indicated that to overcome barriers experienced by key stakeholders, a carefully considered, evidence-based approach, incorporating behaviour change theory, is required when designing intricate interventions/strategies, in order to elicit successful and sustained AMU behaviour change.

“…Wood et al (18) discovered that at baseline, participants were both highly motivated (mean = 8⋅2 points) and excited (mean = 8⋅2 points) to counsel patients on healthy lifestyle choices, which was sustained post-intervention. Similarly, at the outset of three other studies (24,26,34) , almost all students believed that talking to patients about healthy lifestyles was important, and some believed that nutritional counselling could lead to improved dietary behaviours.…”

“…Almost all the studies (n 21, 91⋅3 %) assessed changes in study participants' nutrition-related knowledge (12,(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35) .

Three studies (n 3, 14⋅3 %) reported no change in knowledge or improvement without specifying whether the change was statistically significant (26,27,34) . Nawaz et al found a slight but insignificant increase in residents' knowledge on various lifestyle components after following a lifestyle medicine curriculum that included didactics, distance learning, educational conferences and a newly developed lifestyle medicine rotation programme in a study of twenty preventive medicine residents (26) .…”

A scoping review of nutrition education interventions to improve competencies, lifestyle and dietary habits of medical students and residents

We reviewed the available research and gave an overview of the effects of nutrition education interventions (NEIs) on medical students’ and residents’ knowledge of nutrition, attitudes towards nutrition care, self-efficacy, dietary practices and readiness to offer nutrition care. From 28 May through 29 June 2021, we searched Google Scholar, PubMed, ProQuest, Cochrane and ProQuest to retrieve 1807 articles. After conducting de-duplication and applying the eligibility criteria and reviewing the title and abstract, 23 papers were included. The data were descriptively and narratively synthesised, and the results were displayed as frequencies, tables and figures. Twenty-one interventions were designed to increase participants’ knowledge of nutrition-related topics, and eighteen studies found that nutrition knowledge had significantly improved post-intervention. Only four of the eleven studies that reported on attitudes about nutrition post-intervention showed a meaningful improvement. The self-efficacy of participants was examined in more than half of the included studies (n 13, 56⋅5 %), and eleven of these studies found a significant increase in the participants’ level of self-efficacy to offer nutrition care post-intervention. At the post-intervention point, seven interventions found that dietary and lifestyle habits had significantly improved. The review demonstrated the potential of NEIs to enhance participants’ dietary habits and nutrition-related knowledge, attitudes and self-efficacy. Reduced nutrition knowledge, attitude and self-efficacy scores during the follow-up, point to the need for more opportunities for medical students and residents to learn about nutrition after the intervention.
