Abstract
Aim. The aim of this study was to assess knowledge about nutritional prevention of diet-related diseases in preschool staff from Nowy Sącz and the vicinity.Material and methods. Questionnaires on nutritional prevention of diet-related diseases were filled in by 84 women, who were employed in eight preschools in Nowy Sącz and the vicinity, including 21 women with vocational education, 33 with secondary education and 30 with higher education. Statistical analysis was carried out by means of the SPSS 12.0 PL for Windows computer programme. The studied population was divided according to educational status.Results. Educational status had a statistically significant influence on the answers to thirteen questions concerning nutritional prevention of diet-related diseases. The most correct answers were given by the staff with higher education and the fewest by the staff with vocational education. The mean percentage of correct answers to all of the questions was 74.7% for the staff with higher education, 72.2% for the staff with secondary education and 59.4% for the staff with vocational education.Conclusions. The level of knowledge about nutritional prevention of diet-related diseases was varied among the studied preschool staff depending on their educational status, with the lowest level of knowledge observed in the staff with vocational education and the highest in the staff with higher education. This study indicates the need to incorporate the principles of nutritional prevention of diet-related diseases in the curricula of gastronomy schools and to organise regular training courses for preschool staff in order to update their knowledge on nutrition.
