简要总结
The aim of our study is to compare adherence to the MedDiet between women who received a nutritional educational intervention during a 6-month follow-up and those who did not receive an intervention. Additionally, investigators will examine how this intervention affects mothers' nutritional status, anthropometric measures, and mental health. The objectives of this study are: 1. To assess the impact of an educational intervention on MedDiet adherence among lactating women aged 18-40 years in Jordan over a six-month follow-up period. 2. To explore the relationship between MedDiet adherence, obesity, and mental health among lactating women aged 18-40 years in Jordan during the same period.
详细描述
This study is a prospective, three-arm, parallel-group interventional trial designed to assess the effect of nutritional education on dietary adherence and mental health-related outcomes among lactating women in Jordan. Participants will be followed for 6 months, with assessments at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months. Women will be recruited from maternal and child health vaccination clinics.
After recruitment, participants will be randomly assigned to one of three study groups: (1) intervention group, (2) brochure group, or (3) control group.
Data collection will occur at three time points (baseline, 3 months, and 6 months) using validated instruments. Dietary intake and adherence will be measured using a structured Mediterranean Diet Score (MDS), the Mediterranean Diet Adherence Screener (MEDA), and a culturally adapted Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ). Nutritional status will be assessed through anthropometric measurements. Mental health outcomes will be measured using standardized and validated scales for depression, anxiety, stress, fatigue, and sleep quality. All data will be collected through interviewer-administered questionnaires conducted by trained research staff.
