Abstract：
Explorations of the current attitudes and practices of dietitians regarding the gut microbiota in health are scarce. In this online survey, we assessed the attitudes and practices of dietitians across Europe concerning gut microbiome parameters and the manipulation of the gut microbiota. Pre-graduate dietetic students and other professionals were also invited to participate. The potential interest and preferences of the participants for future educational initiatives about the gut microbiota and the educational resources used were further explored. A total of 179 full responses were recorded (dietitians, n = 155), mainly from the southern and western regions. Most of the participants (>90.0%) believed that probiotics and prebiotics have a place in nutritional practice and that fermented foods with live microbial cultures should be a part of food-based dietary guidelines. A strong belief in the beneficial roles of probiotics and prebiotics in some health situations was also reported among the participants. Most of the dietitians recognised the importance of gut microbiota manipulation and advised the use of probiotics and prebiotics in dietary practice, and they felt quite confident applying the relevant information in their daily practice. Nevertheless, misconceptions were identified, and further guideline-oriented education is necessary. The interest in future e-learning initiatives was high among the participants, and the sources of knowledge, educative formats, and potential areas for further educational efforts were indicated.
摘要：
对营养师目前对健康肠道微生物群的态度和做法的探索很少。在这个在线调查中,我们评估了欧洲各地营养师对肠道微生物组参数和肠道微生物组操作的态度和做法.研究生饮食学生和其他专业人士也应邀参加。进一步探讨了参与者对未来有关肠道微生物群的教育计划和所使用的教育资源的潜在兴趣和偏好。总共记录了179份完整的答复(营养师，n=155)，主要来自南部和西部地区。大多数参与者（>90.0％）认为益生菌和益生元在营养实践中占有一席之地，并且具有活微生物培养物的发酵食品应成为基于食品的饮食指南的一部分。参与者还报告了对益生菌和益生元在某些健康状况中的有益作用的坚定信念。大多数营养师认识到肠道微生物群操纵的重要性，并建议在饮食实践中使用益生菌和益生元，他们感到非常有信心在日常实践中应用相关信息。然而，误解被发现，进一步的指导思想教育是必要的。参加者对未来的电子学习计划的兴趣很高，和知识的来源，教育形式，并指出了进一步教育工作的潜在领域。
