Abstract

Objective: We produced a DVD about nutrition assistance during disasters and evaluated its educational effectiveness when it was played at training program classes for registered dietitian (RD).<br>Methods: Inquiries were sent to randomly selected faculty members teaching public health nutrition, food service management, or clinical nutrition at all the 124 four-year colleges (newly established institutions were excluded since these three subjects had not been taught yet) throughout the country. Seventy-three postcards were returned in response to our inquiry (response rate: 58.9%), and of 73 faculty members, 59 agreed to participate in the evaluation study (participation rate: 80.8%). Students who attended the classes were asked to answer a questionnaire twice, before and after viewing the DVD.<br>Results: Questionnaires from 4,279 students who answered both times were analyzed. After viewing the DVD, 92.0% of the students could correctly link disaster-related laws to the phases when they were applied. By listening to the experiences of RDs who worked in food service at a hospital and a school in disaster-affected areas, percentage of students who considered that “communication ability” and “liaison with local business partners” were required for RDs during disasters significantly increased.<br>Conclusion: This DVD had educational effects as it helped students acquire knowledge about disaster-related laws that are essential for nutrition assistance and RDs’ activities during disasters.
