摘要

Purpose

The goal of the current study was to test the attitudes and knowledge of kidney stone patients before and after a nutritional educational intervention. Participants’ dietary practices were also surveyed.

Methods

Patients who visited clinics at Taipei Medical University-Wan Fang Hospital in 2015 for kidney stones were recruited in a dietary management program based on a dietary approach to stop hypertension (DASH) style diet. The questionnaire was developed with 20 dichotomous questions measuring knowledge and attitudes and 6 questions for practices on a 5-point scale. The knowledge and attitude sections were administered before and after the program, with the practice section set as a pre-intervention test. A total of 51 subjects completed the study.

Results

The average scores of knowledge increased from 3.7 ± 2.4 to 7.2 ± 2.37 (p-value < 0.05) post-intervention, and attitude scores also extensively enhanced from 38.3 ± 4.61 to 40.7 ± 3.40 (p-value < 0.05). Moreover, the practice score was more closely associated with the knowledge score than it was with the attitude score.

Conclusion

The current dietary management program based on concepts of a DASH-style diet for nephrolithiasis patients positively impacted patients’ knowledge and attitudes.
