| Abstract | ||||
| Introduction: Peptic ulcers, a common condition influenced by diet and nutrition, have become a significant public health issue in Egypt. Proper nutrition is essential for promoting overall health and reducing the severity of symptoms. Aim of the study: To determine the effectiveness of a video-based nutritional instruction program for patients with Peptic ulcers. Methodology: This study employed a quasi-experimental research design, conducted in the Gastroenterology department and the outpatient clinic at Zagazig University Hospitals in Sharkia Governorate. The study utilized a purposive sample consisting of 60 patients. Data Collection Tools: Two tools. First Tool: A structured interviewing questionnaire, comprised of three parts. Part I: It was concerned with the personal data; Part II: Clinical data; and Part III: The Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (BIPQ). Second tool: It is divided into two parts: Part I: Dietary nutrition practices and Part II: Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale (GSRS). Result: the mean age among the studied adult and elderly groups was 33.65+15.97 and 66.98+6.209 years, respectively, and the highest percentage of the studied sample who had Peptic ulcers were males. Concerning predictors of symptom severity, it was noted that nutrition practice and the Video-Based Nutritional Instruction Program were negative statistically significant predictors of symptom severity (B 2.742, P 0.000**) & (B 3.073, P 0.001**), respectively. Conclusion: The current study demonstrated that a video-based nutritional instruction program is a viable method to improve nutrition practice and reduce illness perception levels and symptom severity. Recommendations: This study recommends incorporating a video-based nutritional instruction program into routine care for patients with Peptic ulcers. | ||||
