目标：对于无家可归的人来说，营养充足的饮食是极具挑战性的。虽然通过施粥所和无家可归者收容所向无家可归者提供膳食，但这些场所往往不提供提供基本营养的膳食。高能量、低营养食品的消费在一定程度上导致了无家可归者中肥胖、心脏病和慢性病的高发率。本研究的目的是（a）检查无家可归者收容所在为客人提供营养餐方面面临的挑战和（B）调查无家可归者收容所营养教育的需求和兴趣。研究方法：九名无家可归者收容所主任完成了一项匿名在线研究人员开发的调查，旨在研究无家可归者收容所在为客人提供营养餐方面面临的挑战，并调查无家可归者收容所营养教育的需求和兴趣。结果如下：在无家可归者收容所获得营养餐的最普遍障碍是财政资源有限和营养食品供应有限。在计划膳食时，最优先考虑的因素是可供准备的食物。接受调查的无家可归者收容所都没有在膳食计划或准备过程中使用注册营养师，但超过一半的无家可归者收容所表示对准备膳食的人的营养教育有一定的兴趣。当被要求优先考虑这一群体的营养教育主题时，食品安全和卫生以及安全食品获取的主题被列为最高优先事项。结论：这项研究表明，许多因素相互作用时，膳食计划在无家可归者收容所和nut1ition教育是在大多数收容所缺席。注册营养师有可能对无家可归者收容所提供的膳食的营养充足性产生积极影响。需要对这一主题进行进一步研究。献给我的母亲，她教我做饭，帮助我找到我对营养和饮食学的热情。感谢你教导我信靠神，并赐给我无尽的智慧和指引。谢谢你激励我积极参与社区活动，为那些没有我们所拥有的特权的人做好事。感谢我的父亲，他让我明白了努力工作确实会有回报。谢谢你支持我，鼓励我相信自己。谢谢你一直以来
Objective: Consuming a nutritionally adequate diet is extremely challenging for the homeless population. Though meals are available to the homeless population through soup kitchens and homeless shelters, these settings often do not serve meals that provide essential nutrients. The consumption of energy-dense, low-nutrient foods has led in part to high prevalence of obesity, heart disease, and chronic illnesses among the homeless. The purpose of this study was to (a) examine the challenges that homeless shelters face in providing nutritious meals to guests and (b) investigate the need and interest of nutrition education at homeless shelters. Methods: Nine homeless shelter directors completed an anonymous online researcher developed survey designed to examine the challenges that homeless shelters face in providing nutritious meals to guests and investigate the need and interest of nutrition education at homeless shelters. Results: The most prevalent barriers to nutritious meals at homeless shelters were limited financial resources and limited availability of nutritious foods. The factor given the highest priority when planning meals was the foods available for preparation. None of the homeless shelters surveyed utilized a Registered Dietitian in meal planning or preparation processes, but over half of the homeless shelters indicated some interest in nutrition education for those preparing meals. When asked to prioritize nutrition education topics for this group, the topics of food safety and sanitation and safe food access were given the highest priority. Conclusions: This study indicated that many factors interact when meals are planned at homeless shelters and that nut1ition education is absent in the majority of shelters. There is potential for Registered Dietitian Nutritionists to have a positive influence on the nutritional adequacy of meals served at homeless shelters. Further research is needed on this topic. Dedication To my mother, who taught me to cook and helped me find my passion in nutrition and dietetics. Thank you for teaching me to trust in God and for providing unending wisdom and guidance. And thank you for motivating me to be active in the community and do good for those who do not have the same privileges that we have. To my father, who has showed me that hard work really does pay off. Thank you for supporting me and encouraging me to believe in myself. And thank you for always
