“…Although the relationship between nutrition knowledge and dietary behaviors is conflicting [16–18], knowledge and health literacy are important determinants of dietary behaviors. The importance of nutrition education for bariatric surgery patients' postsurgical success has been documented in the literature [19–22].…”

“…The Arab Gulf region has some of the highest prevalence rates of obesity, as well as the number of bariatric surgeries performed as a percentage of their national populations [8]. Moreover, although few studies have evaluated educational interventions for bariatric surgery candidates [21, 22], ours is one of the first to evaluate bariatric surgery patient satisfaction with the quality of nutrition advice received from dietitians.…”

“…Currently, there are no validated questionnaires designed specifically for the assessment of nutrition knowledge after bariatric surgery in Arab Gulf region. Most of the existing instruments were developed to examine general nutrition knowledge [26–28], for a specific area within the field of nutrition (e.g., fat content and cholesterol content) [29] or were developed for non-Arabic-speaking populations [21, 22]. Therefore, there is a need to develop validated nutrition knowledge questionnaires for Arabic-speaking postbariatric populations.…”

Research assessing the nutrition knowledge of postbariatric surgery patients is limited, although this category of patients is predisposed to malnutrition. In this pilot study, we explored postbariatric nutrition knowledge, satisfaction levels with dietitian nutrition counseling, and decision to undergo bariatric surgery of 83 patients who attended a postbariatric outpatient nutrition clinic in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE). A cross-sectional design involving gender-stratified random sampling method was used to recruit 83 postbariatric surgery participants. A self-administered questionnaire was employed to collect information about nutrition knowledge related to dietary recommendations after bariatric surgery as well as participant views on dietitian nutrition counseling, their decision to undergo bariatric surgery, and nutrition-related complications experienced after the surgery. The mean (SD) knowledge score of postbariatric diet was 9.7 (2.05) out of a maximum possible score of 14. The majority of the participants (78.3%) correctly identified which foods are recommended during the first stage of the postbariatric surgery diet, and more than 90% knew about the importance of high-protein supplements after bariatric surgery. Female participants had significantly higher mean knowledge score compared to males (p=0.02). Although nearly 80% of the participants reported regular follow-up with their dietitian, only 10.8% reported high adherence to the dietitian’s instructions. Moreover, more than two-thirds of the participants (71.1%) rated dietary advice provided by dietitians as vague. The most common complication experienced by the participants after bariatric surgery was nausea (61.4%). Furthermore, the majority of the participants (83.4%) found their daily and leisure activities to be more enjoyable after bariatric surgery. Ways of improving the quality of information delivery by dietitians should be explored to enhance patient comprehension and adherence to postbariatric surgery diet recommendations. Future research involving a larger and more representative sample to extend our findings are needed.

The use of telemedicine for delivering healthcare to bariatric surgery patients: A literature review

et al. 2018

Introduction Bariatric weight loss surgery is one of the most effective treatments for severe obesity. Research shows that the availability of healthcare services pre and post bariatric surgery improves behavioural change and weight loss outcomes. The aim of this systematic review is to assess the evidence relating to the use of telemedicine for providing health services to bariatric surgery patients. Methods A search was conducted using PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, PsycNET and SCOPUS. Original research relating to telemedicine for bariatric surgery patients published in peer-reviewed journals were included. Results Database search returned 258 references and a total of 10 studies were included in the review. Six studies assessed use, feasibility and acceptance of telemedicine by patients/practitioners. Studies also examined the use of telemedicine for weight loss, changes in physical activity, diet/eating or other behavioural changes. Two studies were randomised controlled trials; one showed a significant difference in outcomes between intervention and control group. Discussion This review suggests that telemedicine may be a potential method for providing healthcare services to bariatric surgery patients. However, the current evidence base does not allow for definitive conclusions.

“…(23)(24)(25) In bariatric surgery literature, recent studies have reported how telemedicine and digitally-supported care have been well-received by patients, (26) and have potentially improved post-operative clinic attendance and patient engagement with surgical care. (27,28) Utilising digital technologies within the bariatric surgical pathway, both pre-and post-operatively, could form part of a remote strategy to deliver support and behaviour change advice to patients.…”

BackgroundA patient’s capability, motivation, and opportunity to change their lifestyle are significant determinants of successful outcomes following bariatric surgery. Healthier lifestyle changes before and after surgery, including improved dietary intake and physical activity levels, have been shown to contribute to greater post-surgical weight loss and improved long-term health. Integrating patient-centred digital technologies within the bariatric surgical pathway could form part of an innovative strategy to promote and sustain healthier behaviours and provide holistic patient support, to improve surgical success. This study explores the desires, suggestions, and reflections of perioperative patients in the context of integrating digital technologies within the surgical pathway. MethodsPatients attending bariatric surgery clinics within one hospital in the North of England were invited to take part in the study. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with pre- and post-operative patients to discuss lifestyle behaviour change and perspectives of using digital technologies to complement current care. Interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. Thematic analysis enabled the development of themes from the data. Ethical approval was obtained from the NHS Health Research Authority.ResultsEighteen patients were interviewed. Four overarching themes were identified relating to patient perspectives of optimised technology functionality to: 1) provide tailored content and support, 2) facilitate self-monitoring and goal-setting, 3) deliver information in an accessible, trusted, and usable manner, and 4) meet patient information-seeking and engagement needs. ConclusionsWe make recommendations to address the unmet needs of this patient cohort. These findings have the potential to influence the design of person-centred, perioperative technologies.
