Abstract

Kardiovaskularne bolesti kao vodeći uzrok smrtnosti u svijetu predstavljaju velik javnozdravstveni problem. Liječenje uključuje promjenu prehrane s obzirom da u podlozi većine rizičnih faktora zaslužnih za napredak bolesti stoje loše prehrambene navike. Mediteranska se prehrana tu pokazala kao najdjelotvornija zahvaljujući blagotvornoj kombinaciji namirnica koje uključuju unos svježeg voća i povrća, mahunarki i orašastih plodova te karakterističnog maslinovog ulja i ribe. Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je procijeniti znanje o mediteranskoj prehrani među pacijentima s bolestima srca te postoji li pozitivan ishod na njihove rezultate nakon provedene edukacije. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 40 kardiovaskularnih pacijenata prosječne dobi 62 ± 9 godina. Znanje o mediteranskoj prehrani procijenjeno je MDNK upitnikom (eng. Mediterranean Diet Nutrition Knowledge questionnaire ) prije i nakon edukacije pacijenata. Prosječan broj bodova postignut MDNK upitnikom prije edukacija iznosio je 2,78 ± 4,66 od ukupno 15 bodova, čime možemo zaključit da je njihovo znanje o mediteranskoj prehrani vrlo loše. Statistički značajna bodovna razlika utvrđena je u upitnicima provedenim nakon edukacije u odnosu na one ispunjene pri samom dolasku (p=0,017) što ukazuje na pozitivan ishod edukacije među pacijentima.

Abstract (english)

Cardiovascular diseases as leading causes of death in the world represent a vast public health care problem. Treatments include a change in diet due to the fact that most of the risk factors regarding the progression of the disease are related to poor eating habits. Mediterranean diet is shown as most effective thanks to a beneficial combination of ingredients including fresh fruit and vegetables, legumes and nuts, and characteristic olive oil and fish. The objective of this paper was to evaluate the knowledge of mediterranean dieting amongst cardiovascular patients and whether or not a positive outcome is possible after experiencing the necessary education. The survey involved 40 cardiovascular patients with an average age of 62 ± 9. The knowledge of mediterranean diet was evaluated with a Mediterranean Diet Nutrition Knowledge questionnaire (MDNK questionnaire) which would be completed before and after the patients were being educated. The average number of points scored with the MDNK questionnaire before the education was 2,78 ± 4,66 out of a total of 15 points , which means we can safely say that the patients' knowledge of mediterranean dieting is very poor. There is a substantial statistic difference in scores between surveys completed after the education and those completed upon arrival (p=0,017) which indicates that there is a positive outcome regarding education amongst patients.
