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.

Abstract

Background: Individuals possess unique genes that influence their susceptibility to diseases and their response to dietary interventions. The emergence of nutritional genomics has made it possible to identify disease predispositions and mitigate risks through gene-based dietary guidance. Consequently, understanding gene-based nutrition services is crucial for nutritionists, as it facilitates the integration of genetic insights into dietary recommendations. Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the familiarity of dietitians in Indonesia with gene-based nutrition services. Methods: Employing a qualitative approach with a phenomenological orientation, this study was conducted in DKI Jakarta, Jawa Barat, Jawa Tengah, Jawa Timur, and DI Yogyakarta. Purposive sampling was employed, involving a total of seven nutritionists. Data were gathered through in-depth interviews conducted both in person and online via Zoom meetings. Thematic analysis was carried out utilizing Nvivo 12.0. Results: The knowledge of nutritionists regarding nutritional genomics is limited. While they could explain fundamental concepts, their understanding lacked depth. Similarly, their comprehension of gene-based nutrition services was restricted, leading to uncertainties about their role in such services. Nutritionists generally expressed positive attitudes towards gene-based nutrition services, recognizing their significance and advocating for their provision by relevant agencies. There was a strong interest among nutritionists in offering gene-based nutrition services and a willingness to expand their understanding of nutritional genomics. Conclusions: The knowledge of nutritionists regarding gene-based nutrition services remains insufficient. There is a need for nutritionists to undergo training, attend seminars, and enhance their understanding of nutritional genomics in academic settings.

Abstract

Background: The rapid development of genetics science provides significant impacts on disease prevention and control. In Indonesia, the application of dietetics is not popular. Thus, the role of nutritionists in the application of nutritional genomics in dietetic work practices is highly needed. The role of nutritionists is important in providing information about how nutrition and genetics interact in influencing health and providing alternative early nutritional interventions. Objectives: Identify the role of nutritionists in providing gene-based nutrition services in Indonesia. Methods: This qualitative study used a phenomenological approach. This study was carried out in five provinces in Indonesia. Informant data were obtained from quantitative research. The determination of the informant used a purposive sampling technique involving six informants. Data were collected by conducting structured interviews online using Zoom Meeting. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis with NVIVO v.12 software. Results: Most nutritionists who have and have not implemented gene-based nutrition services know about gene-based nutrition services. However, some do not know the meaning of nutrigenetics and nutrigenomics. Besides, they know the role of nutritionists, namely as a counselor to provide counseling, provide advice regarding diet according to the patient's needs, and provide motivation to patients to follow a diet according to the patient's needs. Conclusions: In providing gene-based nutritional services, nutritionists play a role as counselors to provide counseling, provide advice regarding patient needs, and provide motivation to patients to adopt a diet according to patient needs.

Abstract

Background: Cardiometabolic diseases are principal contributors to mortality, morbidity, and healthcare costs. Additionally, many Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) have been associated with cardiovascular health outcomes. Nutrition professionals' perspectives on genetic-based nutritional services play a pivotal role in treating and preventing non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Objectives: This study aims to explore Indonesian nutritionists' viewpoints on gene-based nutrition services. Methods: Employing a qualitative phenomenological approach, six Indonesian nutritionists from key provinces (DKI Jakarta, West Java, Central Java, East Java, and DI Yogyakarta) participated in in-depth interviews. Themes encompassed nutritionists' views on gene-based nutrition's role in NCD prevention, genetics science, and genetic testing understanding. Thematic analysis was performed using Nvivo v.12. Results: Results showed that nutritionists had a substantial understanding of genetics and gene-based nutrition services, despite concerns about test costs. They comprehended gene-based nutrition's role in NCD prevention and acknowledged its significance in preventing NCDs. Conclusions: Within this study, Nutritionists express the importance of gene-based nutrition services in NCD prevention. To enhance engagement, nutritionists are encouraged to communicate genetic testing's value to the community. This dissemination will help advance  NCD prevention efforts.
