Abstract
An Australia wide cross-sectional online survey examined facilitators and barriers of health and education professionals to providing culinary nutrition (CN) and culinary medicine (CM) education and behaviour change support in usual practice, in addition to identifying continuing professional development (CPD) needs in this domain. Survey items included socio-demographic characteristics, cooking and food skills confidence, nutrition knowledge (PKB-7), fruit and vegetable intake (FAVVA) and CPD needs. Data were summarised descriptively. Of 277 participants, 65% were likely/somewhat likely to participate in CN CPD. Mean (SD) cooking and food skill confidence scores were 73 (17.5) and 107.2 (24), out of 98 and 147, respectively. Mean PKB-7 score was 3.7 (1.4), out of 7. Mean FAVVA score was 98 (29), out of 190. Gaps in knowledge and limited time were the greatest modifiable barriers to providing CM/CN education and behaviour change support in practice. Health and education professionals are interested in CPD conducted by dietitians and culinary professionals to enhance their knowledge of CM/CN and behaviour change support.
