Journal Title: New Medicine - Year 2010, Vol 14, Issue 4
Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess knowledge on preparing meals in the preschool staff from Nowy Sącz and the vicinity.The questionnaires on the knowledge about preparing meals were filled in by 84 women who were employed in eight preschools in Nowy Sącz and the vicinity. We used the SPSS 12.0 PL for Windows computer programme to carry out the statistical analysis. The studied population?s answers were analysed according to education.Education had statistically significant influence on the question which required answer whether vegetable stock should be thrown away. The highest percentage of women with secondary education, 97.0%, knew that vegetable stock should not be thrown away. The percentage of correct answers to this question was 90.0% in the staff with higher education and only 66.7% in the staff with vocational education.The level of knowledge on preparing meals in the studied preschool staff was low, particularly in the staff with vocational education whose duties in the preschool included serving and preparing meals for children. It is highly recommended to work out and implement educational programmes aimed at increasing the level of nutritional knowledge in preschool staff, especially those who plan and prepare meals for children, and to publish popular science books and audiovisual educational aids on nutrition.
