On the 25th of September 2024, the NNEdPro-IANE Awards Symposium took place at the historic Wolfson College, Cambridge, bringing together experts, educators, and students in the field of nutrition to celebrate outstanding contributions to nutrition education.

Webinar Presenters: Dr. Tracy McCaffrey, Breanna Lepre, and Dr Crowley

For our final workshop of the 2021 webinar series, NNEdPro and IANE members, including members from our regional networks, convened to learn more about health communications in the social media era and the work of the NNEdPro ANZ regional network in medical nutrition education. This blog summarises the proceedings from the webinar session, including current research and key themes. 

Our first presentation of the evening by Dr. Tracy McCaffrey covered the topic of health communications in the social media/online era. Whilst bringing together people from across the world to share ideas and cultures and improving communication in a number of ways, social media platforms present a host of challenges for nutrition and health professionals in communicating health. This is especially true of the wave of misinformation and disinformation we have witnessed so far during the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, person-centred care, a guiding principle in health promotion, is difficult to achieve online mostly due to the competing voices on social media from health professionals and so-called influencers with quick fixes and solutions to the nutrition and health concerns individuals face. For this reason, it is important that health professionals adopt a communications strategy tailored to online/social media platforms in order to ensure reach whilst maintaining clear, consistent, and accurate messaging. As such researchers from Monash University in Australia formulated a health communication toolkit for improved nutrition and health education online via social media platforms.

There are six (6) steps involved in planning health communications online;

Our next presenters, Breanna Lepre and Dr Crowley discussed medical nutrition education, referencing case studies  and lessons learned from ongoing research in Australia and New Zealand. Breanna Lepre presented key findings from ongoing PhD research which is broadly focused on developing a competency framework towards improving nutrition education in medicine. Results from 22 semi-structured interviews conducted online with a cohort of UK and Australian doctors indicate that the frequency of nutrition advice provided by medical professionals vary considerably from one doctor to the other. Although participants recognised the importance of nutrition care, they understand that they are ill-equipped in nutrition-related knowledge and skills but also in relation to the systems that might support integrated care.

In conclusion, nutrition education remains insufficiently incorporated in medical training globally. A key barrier to nutrition care in medical practice is insufficient nutrition-related knowledge and skills among medical professionals. Insufficient consultation time is also reported to impact the quality of nutrition care provided to patients. As such, concerted efforts are required at the level of the individual and institution in order to address the need for improved nutrition care in medical settings for better health outcomes.

  Webinar Summary

  In June of this year, IANE and NNEdPro members gathered yet again for another session of our webinar series, on “Workplace Wellbeing – Diet, Mind, Movement, Sleep”, which, as the name implies, focused on health and wellbeing initiatives at work, especially with regard to dietary patterns of workers, movement and/or physical activity, and sleep. This blog aims to summarise key themes from the session, including main take-home points.

  Recordings of past webinar and journal clubs can be found on the IANE portal.

  As guests in attendance, we were welcomed to yet another webinar session by Shane McAuliffe, Science Communications Lead at NNEdPro, followed by an introduction of the evening’s line-up of presenters.

  We first heard from Prof Sumantra Ray, NNEdPro Executive Director and Founding Chair, on the importance of wellbeing initiatives at work and the role of employers in health promotion. As part of his presentation, Prof Ray discussed the findings from the ‘Wellbeing at Work” survey conducted pre-COVID by Nuffield Health. Researchers found that one-third of workers were more likely to go to work ill, primarily due to job security and the economic downturn. Further, only 18% of the UK population reported experiencing a high level of wellbeing (“flourishing”) – an already dire situation that has been further exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. As such, the workplace remains an optimal setting for health promotion, where employers are well placed to make significant differences in health behaviour such as regular health checks, taking breaks, nutritional advice, and increased physical activity.

• 
  

• On Food, Hydration, and Nutritional Supplements
  

• ✔ Poor diet quality can comprise immune function. A study by Kim H. et al (2021), recently published in BMJ NPH, found that plant-based diets and pescatarian diets are linked with less severe COVID-19 illness. This study included frontline workers from 6 high-income countries (Germany, France, USA, Italy, Spain, and UK). Plant-based diets or pescatarian diets had 73% and 59% lower odds of severe COVID-19 infection.

• ✔ Micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) are required in small quantities but are critical for metabolism and supporting optimal immune function.

• ✔ Our total body mass is >70% of water, and therefore, proper hydration is essential for improved health and wellbeing. Recommended minimum water intake (2-2.5L).

• ✔ A variety of physical, mental, and social factors overlap and interact to provide an overall effect on health and wellbeing which in turn impacts productivity. A productive society requires healthy workers!

• In the second presentation of the evening, Helena Trigueiro (Global Lead for Regional Networks at NNEdPro) discussed findings from a web-based survey on global nutrition challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic. Survey participants were clinicians and researchers (n=30) across 5 continents – Africa, Africa, Asia, Oceania, and Europe.

  Key findings include:

• ✔ Commonly cited government actions were support for hand sanitation (53.3%), assistance to school-aged children (46.7%) and direct food provision (43.3%).

• ✔ 50% of respondents perceived community actions and mutual aid as important aspects in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.

• ✔ Only 16.7% of respondents mentioned remote delivery of nutrition services in primary care.

• Diet and physical activity, whilst crucial for improved health, are only a part of the story. Mindfulness and sleep patterns are also important in maintaining a healthy lifestyle, especially in the context of COVID-19. Our sleep patterns have been shown to influence our eating patterns as well as mental health. The role of community and social connections in wellbeing was also brought up. Commensality is an important factor in understanding dietary patterns and practice, and therefore, must be taken into consideration when designing interventions that target health behaviour.

  In closing, Dr. Minha Rajput-Ray (Medical Director at NNEdPro and Scientific Chair for OSHA) shared her reflections on occupational health and wellbeing in the context of COVID-19, especially post-pandemic recovery.

   

  Key Take-Home Points

• ✔ We must use the best available evidence to inform diet/’healthy-eating’ practices and advice that is suited to the context (context-specific).

• ✔ Be mindful of your food intake. Abundant consumption of plant foods (fruits, vegetables, unrefined cereals, fresh and dried legumes, nuts and seeds) is essential for health.

• ✔ Consistent sleep routines are also an important aspect of mindfulness, health and wellbeing, especially in the context of COVID-19. Sleep patterns have been shown to interact with dietary patterns.  

• ✔ Physical activity and/or movement should be done in the way that makes you feel better.

• ✔ Community and social connections are also crucial aspects of mindfulness and healthy living.  

• ✔ Workplace is one of the best settings for health promotion, therefore employers are well placed to make significant differences in health behaviour change such as regular health checks, taking breaks, nutritional advice, and increased physical activity.

• Journal Club Summary
  

• Following introductions and brief summary of the circadian (‘sleep/wake’) rhythm by Shane McAuliffe, our presenter for the evening, Alan Flanagan introduced the topic of – “Chrono-nutrition” which is defined as the interaction between biological rhythms and nutrition, along with the relationship between these factors and human health. Mr. Flanagan proceeded to distinguish between intermittent fasting (IF) and time restricted feeding (TRF) and led a critical analysis session on a recently published paper on a human trial of TRF.

• The Paper (Lowe et al., 2020): 12-Week free-living intervention comparing conventional eating window or ‘continuous meal timing’ (CMT) and time restricted eating (TRE) among men and women aged 16-84 years. The intervention was delivered through a mobile app and study participants were provided with a scale to weekly weigh-ins. Participants also received daily prompting via SMS messages. The primary outcome measured was weight loss.

• Summary of findings:

• ✔ Overall, the TRE group experienced a weight loss of 0.94 kg (95%CI: -1.68kg to -0.20kg) higher than CMT group at 0.68kg (95%CI: -1.41kg to -0.05kg).

• ✔ Level of adherence was higher among the CMT group.

• Strengths and Limitations:
  

• This study included a larger sample size than previous TRE studies. Study included metabolic testing in 50% of total sample and robust measures of body composition. However, there was a lack vital data. Dietary intake and actual timing of meals timing was not performed. Differences in daily prompting (“gain-framed” vs “loss-framed” messaging) were not accounted for and compliance data was not presented.

   

  Key take home points

• ✔ Chrono-nutrition focuses on behaviour as opposed to prescriptive dieting with the potential for improved metabolic health outcomes.

• ✔ Earlier research in chrono-nutrition were in animal studies, which tends to be problematic. Human diets and eating patterns are more complex and therefore we should proceed with caution when interpreting findings and/or referring to human populations.

• ✔ It is difficult to draw concrete conclusions from this study given the absence of important data points such as meal timing in the CMT group, the composition of the participants diets and issues with adherence.

• ✔ Further research is needed to account for these factors, as well as considering the effects of health messaging on behaviours and the applicability to specific groups, such as those with diabetes or cardiovascular disease and specific occupational factors (work patterns, break schedules etc.).

The next IANE Journal Club will be held on October 27th, 2021. For more details or to register, visit our Events page.
