Abstract:
This scoping review assessed the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of general practitioners (GPs) regarding dietary advice for weight management. A systematic search of PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, and MEDLINE was conducted for any qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods studies published in the past five years that informed GPs\' dietary advice for weight control. Thirteen studies were included in the analysis after screening 881 papers. These studies tended to focus mostly on GPs\' practices rather than their knowledge and attitudes. The most frequently mentioned dietary advice was to reduce calorie intake; however, 32 different types of dietary advice were identified in the literature, including approaches such as intermittent fasting and a ketogenic diet that are not recommended in current guidelines. GPs showed varying levels of knowledge and attitudes regarding the best dietary advice for patients. Further research is needed to better understand GP perspectives, with efforts to assist GPs in providing tailored advice based on the latest evidence to improve patient outcomes required.
摘要:
这次范围审查评估了知识,态度,以及全科医生(GP)关于体重管理饮食建议的实践。对PubMed的系统搜索,EMBASE,CINAHL,和MEDLINE进行了任何定性,定量,以及过去五年发表的混合方法研究,为全科医生提供了控制体重的饮食建议。在筛选881篇论文后,将13项研究纳入分析。这些研究倾向于主要关注全科医生的实践,而不是他们的知识和态度。最常提到的饮食建议是减少卡路里摄入量;然而,文献中确定了32种不同类型的饮食建议,包括间歇性禁食和生酮饮食等目前指南中不推荐的方法。全科医生对患者最佳饮食建议的知识和态度水平各不相同。需要进一步的研究来更好地理解GP的观点,努力协助全科医生根据最新证据提供量身定制的建议,以改善所需的患者结局。
