Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the knowledge of dietitians and dietetic students about food allergy in order to develop suggestions for educational activities. Materials and Methods: Dietitians and dietetics students were surveyed via a questionnaire aimed to document their knowledge about food allergy management. Results: Of the 150 questionnaires distributed, 122 valid questionnaires were returned. The response rate was 81.3%. Of all the respondents, 51.4% were working in a hospital. About sixty percent of respondents rated themselves 'moderate' for identifying some clinical manifestations of FA, developing elimination diets, providing avoidance education, managing the dietary needs of children with cows' milk allergy (CMA). Only 72.1% of respondents answered the questions about foods that can cause anaphylaxis correctly. About forty percent of respondents did not recognize that food allergens could be transmitted by means of tools used for service such as knives and spoons and thought that smoke of the cooking food does not cause allergy. About sixty percent of respondents also thought that touching the food never causes allergic reactions. Of all the respondents, only about 18.9% suggested amino acid based formulas for children with CMA, 23% suggested fully hydrolized formulas and 39.3% thought that lactose free formulas can be given to patients with CMA. Conclusion: This study revealed that there are some gaps in the knowledge of dietitians about food allergy. Dietitians should be given training on this subject and there should be a re-evaluation of health policies with a wider global perspective.

Özet

Giriş: Çalışmada beslenme ve diyet uzman ve öğrencilerinin besin allerjisi ile ilgili bilgi düzeyleri değerlendirilmiştir. Gereç ve yöntem: Diyetisyenler ve diyet bölümü öğrencilerinin besin allerjisi yönetimi konusunda bilgileri bir anket yoluyla incelenmiştir.Bulgular: Dağıtılan 150 anketin, 122'si geçerli anket olarak döndü. Yanıtlama oranı %81.3 idi. Tüm katılımcıların %51.4'ü hastanede çalışmaktaydı. Katılımcıların yaklaşık %60'ı kendilerini besin allerjisinin bazı klinik belirtilerini ayırt etme, eliminasyon diyetleri geliştirme, allerjenlerden sakınma eğitim bilgilerini ve inek sütü allerjili çocukların diyet yönetimi konusundaki bilgi düzeylerini orta derece olarak değerlendirmişti. Katılımcıların sadece %72.1'i besinlerin anafilaksiye neden olabileceğini doğru cevaplandırdı. Katılımcıların yaklaşık %40'ı gıda allerjenlerinin bıçak ve kaşıklar gibi servis araçları vasıtasıyla iletilebileceğini bilmiyordu ve pişirilirken gıda buharının allerjik reaksiyonlara neden olmayacağını düşünmüştü. Katılımcıların yaklaşık %60'ı da gıdalara dokunmanın asla allerjik reaksiyonlara neden olmadığını düşünmüştü. İnek sütü allerjili çocuklar için tüm katılımcıların sadece %18.9'u aminoasit bazlı formüla, %23 tam hidrolize formüla, %39.3 laktoz içermeyen formüla verilebileceğini önermişti.Conclusion: This study revealed that there are some gaps in the knowledge of dietitians about food allergy. Dietitians should be given training on this subject and there should be a re-evaluation of health policies with a wider global perspective.Sonuç: Çalışma, besin allerjisi konusunda diyetisyenlerin bilgisinde bazı eksiksiklikler olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Diyetisyenlere bu konuda eğitim verilmeli ve daha geniş bir küresel bakış açısı ile sağlık politikaları yeniden değerlendirilmelidir.
