Information of healthcare professionals in proper nutrition

Zdrava i uravnotežena prehrana prvi je korak očuvanju zdravlja i tijela od bolesti. Važnost zdrave prehrane naglašena je od samoga začeća pa tijekom cijeloga života. Edukacija je temelj uspješnosti primjene novog načina prehrane, kao što je dodavanje više svježeg voća, povrća i cjelovitih žitarica te smanjenje hrane koja ima puno masti, soli i šećera. Primjena načela zdrave prehrane podrazumijeva učenje o ravnoteži, raznolikosti i umjerenosti. Svakodnevno educiranje važno je kao samopomoć za balansiran i zdrav život. Cilj ovog rada je prikazati znanje zdravstvenih djelatnika o pravilnoj, zdravoj i izbalansiranoj prehrani. Ispitano je znanje zdravstvenih djelatnika različitih dobnih skupina i različitog stupnja obrazovanja u razdoblju od dva mjeseca, o poznavanju temelja zdrave prehrane. Ispitanici i metode: Provedeno istraživanje putem primarnih kanala – odnosno provođenje ankete nad zdravstvenim djelatnicima, razne dobi i obrazovanja u razdoblju od 01.05.2021. do 01.07.2021 godine. Anketa je izrađena online, putem Google obrasca. Rezultatima provedenog istraživanja može se zaključiti da znanje zdravstvenih djelatnika o pravilnoj prehrani baš i nije idealno i uočeno je određeno neznanje kod pitanja koja zahtijevaju određenu edukaciju i obrazovanje. Dobro znanje pokazali su vezano uz opće poznate činjenice vezane uz prehranu – koje redovito srećemo na vijestima, u emisijama, člancima ili reklamama. Međutim što se tiče dubljeg znanja, pogotovo o nutritivnim sastavima, može se primijetiti jednu dozu neznanja.A healthy and balanced diet is the first step in preserving health and the body from disease. The importance of a healthy diet is emphasized from conception throughout life. Education is the foundation of the success of a new diet, such as adding more fresh fruits, vegetables and whole grains, and reducing foods high in fat, salt and sugar. Applying the principles of a healthy diet involves learning about balance, diversity and moderation. Everyday education is important as self-help for a balanced and healthy life. The aim of this paper is to present the knowledge of health professionals about proper, healthy and balanced diet. The knowledge of health professionals of different age groups and different levels of education in a period of two months, on the knowledge of the basics of healthy eating was examined. Respondents and methods: Conducted research through primary channels - ie conducting a survey of health professionals, various ages and education in the period from 01.05.2021. to 01.07.2021. The survey was created online, via the Google form. The results of the research can be concluded that the knowledge of health professionals about proper nutrition is not ideal and a certain ignorance was observed in issues that require certain education and training. They have shown good knowledge regarding generally known facts related to nutrition - which we regularly encounter in the news, in shows, articles or advertisements. However, as far as deeper knowledge is concerned, especially about nutritional compositions, one dose of ignorance can be noticed
