Abstract:
Objective:This study aims to evaluate the application of learning cycle theory(LCT)in a university"Clinical Nutrition"general education elective course,and to compare students'knowledge,attitudes,and behaviors related to clinical nutrition before and after the course.The goal is to explore more efficient teaching models and approaches for clinical nutrition education in universities.Methods:A cluster sampling method was used to select all students enrolled in the Clinical Nutrition elective course at Nanjing University in 2024 as study participants.Based on LCT,a"Clinical Nutrition"general education elective course was designed,consisting of four modules:theoretical teaching,skills training,clinical thinking instruction,and comprehensive simulation.The course lasted 16 weeks,totaling 32 class hours.Before and after the course,a survey was administered using a self-designed questionnaire based on the Knowledge-Attitude-Practice(KAP)model to assess the effectiveness of the LCT-based course.Results:A total of 76 students completed the survey.The students'scores on clinical nutrition knowledge increased significantly,from(6.74±1.60)before the course to(7.91±1.62)after the course.Attitude scores increased from(20.87±2.39)to(22.75±1.99),and behavior scores improved from(16.99±3.59)to(18.54±3.58),with all differences being statistically significant(P<0.05).Additionally,96.05%of students reported being very satisfied or satisfied with the course.Conclusion:The LCT-based clinical nutrition general education elective course was effective in significantly improving students'knowledge,attitudes,and behaviors regarding clinical nutrition.This teaching approach could be further expanded in the future to enhance the nutrition and health levels of university students.
