目的
评估招募门诊患者参加由医院营养师提供的1小时晚间信息会议并评估服务的可行性。
方法
在2000年4月至9月期间，每月有一个晚上举行胆固醇资讯讲座。转介到营养和饮食服务部门寻求降低胆固醇建议的患者通过邮寄方式预约这些会议，而不是与营养师进行一对一的日间预约。在会议上，营养师解释了什么是胆固醇，并就控制胆固醇所需的健康饮食和生活方式的改变提出了建议。视频材料和文献被用来支持口头信息。在整个会议期间鼓励提问。
结果
34名患者接受了预约。27人（79%）参加了培训，其中10人由配偶/伴侣/照顾者/家庭成员陪同。所有参加的患者均填写了评估表。与会者对会议表示高度满意。26名患者（96%）表示他们喜欢会议的运行方式，并发现建议和视频很有帮助。25名患者（93%）更喜欢晚上预约，而不是白天预约。与配偶/伴侣/照顾者/家庭成员一起参加的患者表示这对他们和陪同人员有帮助。通过患者评论得到的反馈是积极的。没有参加会议的7名患者（21%）与饮食服务部门联系。
结论
由于评估的积极结果，胆固醇信息会议将继续作为对患者的服务。它提供门诊服务正常时间以外的设施，并可随时容纳陪同人员。信息会议采用小组形式，这可能适用于未来营养和饮食服务的其他专业领域，如糖尿病管理。
AIM
To assess the feasibility of recruiting outpatients referred for cholesterol lowering advice to attend a 1-h evening information session provided by a hospital dietitian and to evaluate the service.
METHOD
A Cholesterol Information Session was held on one evening each month between April and September 2000. Patients referred to the Nutrition and Dietetic Service for cholesterol lowering advice were sent appointments for these sessions by post instead of a one-to-one daytime appointment with the dietitian. At the session, the dietitian explained what cholesterol is and gave advice about the healthy eating and lifestyle changes needed to control it. Video material and literature were used to support verbal information. Questions were encouraged throughout the session.
RESULTS
Thirty-four patients were sent appointments. Twenty-seven (79%) attended, 10 of whom were accompanied by a spouse/partner/carer/family member. All patients who attended completed evaluation forms. There was a high level of satisfaction with the sessions. Twenty-six patients (96%) said they liked the way the session was run and found the advice and videos helpful. Twenty-five patients (93%) preferred the evening appointment to a day time one. Patients who attended with a spouse/partner/carer/family member indicated it was helpful to them and the accompanying person. Feedback through patient comments was positive. The seven patients (21%) who did not attend the sessions made contact with the dietetic service.
CONCLUSION
As a result of the positive outcome of the evaluation, the Cholesterol Information Session is continuing as a service to patients. It provides a facility outside the usual hours of outpatient services and can readily accommodate accompanying people. The information session uses the group format, which may be applicable to other specialist areas of the Nutrition and Dietetic service in the future, such as diabetes management.
