Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of group nutrition counseling compared to individualized nutrition counseling.
Design: Quasi experimental trial
Methods: Participants split into two groups. The knowledge change of participants was evaluated by comparing scores of pre- and post- activity.
Setting: North Westchester Restorative Nursing Facility, Mohegan Lake, NY
Participants: 10 residents of the nursing home enrolled in the study
Intervention: Each group participated in an activity in which they determined the daily serving recommendations of sorted various food groups. After an educational lesson, the participants performed the same activity.
Results: The 1-on-1 counseled participants showed a statistically significant improvement. There was no statistically significant difference shown among group-counseled participants.
Conclusion: The study indicates that 1-on-1 counseling is a more effective method of nutrition intervention compared to group counseling
