Abstract

Background: The rapid technological development has led to the emergence of gene-based nutrition services, which hold promise in reducing the prevalence of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs). However, a considerable portion of the population remains unaware of these innovative nutrition services. Objectives: This study aims to identify the correlation between the extent of public knowledge and their interest in gene-based nutrition services in Indonesia. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design. This study was conducted online via the Qualtrics Survey platform during May-June 2023. The determination of the sample used a cluster sampling technique across five provinces in Indonesia. The research instrument used a questionnaire on socio-demographic characteristics and a validated structured questionnaire assessing knowledge and interest levels in gene-based nutrition services. Statistical data analysis employed the Chi-Square test. Results: This study involved a total of 439 respondents from five provinces in Indonesia. The majority of the respondents exhibited low levels of knowledge (51.7%) and interest (55.4%) in gene-based nutrition services. A statistically significant association was observed between knowledge and interest in gene-based nutrition services (p-value=0.029, PR=1.5, 95% CI=1.04-2.22). Conclusions: The findings of this study underline a relationship between the extent of knowledge and the level of interest in gene-based nutrition services in Indonesia. To increase public interest, it is necessary to increase knowledge regarding gene-based nutrition services through online media, nutritionists or print media that discuss nutrigenetics and nutrigenomics.

Abstract

Background: The knowledge, involvement, and self-confidence of nutrition professionals are highly required in the implementation of gene-based nutrition services. The limited number of nutrition professionals applying gene-based nutrition services poses a unique challenge in the developmental process of gene-based nutrition services in Indonesia. Objectives: This study aims to identify the association between the knowledge, engagement, and confidence levels of nutrition workers with gene-based nutrition services in Indonesia. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in May-June 2023. The participants consisted of nutrition workers from five provinces in Indonesia. The instrument of this study used structured questionnaires encompassing socio-demographic information, knowledge, engagement, and confidence levels of nutrition workers distributed using the Qualtrics Survey platform. Data analysis employed the chi-square test with the help of Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25.0. Results: This study involved a total of 423 respondents. Findings indicated that 53.4% of nutrition workers possessed limited knowledge, 60.0% exhibited minimal engagement, and 51.8% held low confidence levels in gene-based nutrition services. Notably, a significant correlation was identified between knowledge and confidence in gene-based nutrition services (p=0.001; PR=2.0; CI=1.35-2.94). Additionally, a significant association was present between knowledge and engagement in gene-based nutrition services (p=0.001; PR=2.00; CI=1.34-2.96). Conclusions: This study highlights the association of low nutritionists' knowledge with low personal involvement and confidence levels to gene-based nutrition services in Indonesia. Nutrition professionals are encouraged to enhance their grasp of genetics and its relevance to nutrition through dedicated training, participation in seminars, and ongoing education initiatives.
