Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected outcome: It is hoped to find an increase in the level of knowledge about diabetes and changes in relation to food choices and adherence to nutritional treatment after the nutritional educational intervention carried out, showing healthy eating habits, which will be verified by comparing the results of the instruments applied before and after the intervention.;Outcome found: A group effect (p = 0.010) and a time effect (p < 0.001) were observed in diabetes knowledge scores; however, there was no statistical interaction (p = 0.206). Dietary practices showed a time effect (p < 0.001). Regarding the reasons for dietary choices, both groups showed significant differences in the factors “natural content” and “health.” The intervention led to improvements, but these were not statistically more effective than those in the control group. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected outcome: It is hoped to find a relationship between sociodemographic data and food choices, which will be verified through the results of the instruments applied before and after the nutritional education intervention.;The planned secondary outcome, which involved investigating the relationship between sociodemographic characteristics and dietary choices, was not analyzed. The statistical analyses conducted included a comparison of sociodemographic characteristics between the experimental and control groups, as well as an assessment of the primary outcome between the groups and between the baseline and follow-up time points for each group. Therefore, no results are available for the originally planned secondary outcome. | — |
