From the Perspective of a Medical Biochemist; Importance of Fundamental Medical Sciences, Knowledge in Nutrition and Dietetics Education

Abstract

Among the researches on nutrition and dietetics, studies on nutrition and dietetics education are very rare. The launch of food products, persistently and as quickly as possible, trying to learn the consequences of human health through this consumption, trying to include many products into the diet with the smell of taste but not essential ingredients and the subsequent unhealthy states and diseases make this area a priority area that needs to be controlled.With all this, however; We think that the students who are just being educated can cope with the meaningful interventions that we will make to the education models. For this reason, in our study; We search whether all of our students from 1st year to 4th year who are studying nutrition and dietetics know their fields, their expectations from the educational content, where do they see themselves in the field of health, in which direction do they want to build this area. 116 students participated in this study. A two-stage questionnaire was applied. The second phase was created from suggestions while the first phase was related to definition and association. Statistical analysis of the data was conducted through the SPSS 20 program. Sufficiency of the information load on biochemical metabolic processes that unites all related fundamental sciences in itself, provide opportunities for rational food choices to those who are working in this field and will distinguish the use of accepting elements for health.
