Intervention(s)
|
Consenting participants (i.e. students registered on the MSc Clinical Nutrition and Dietetics programme) will be randomly allocated to the experimental arm (usual face-to-face behavioural change skills training + E-learning behaviour change skills training; n=10) or the control arm (usual face-to-face behavioural change skills training only; n=10). Following provision of written, informed consent and completion of the baseline questionnaires all participants will be randomized. Concealed randomization will be conducted by the Principal Investigator using a random numbers table.
Experimental arm: 4 hours Group-Based Face-to-Face Training + Individual E-learning Training in Behavioural Change Skills Control arm: 4 hours Group-Based Face-to-Face Training in Behavioural Change Skills
All participants will receive usual face-to-face training in behavioural change skills and in addition, experimental arm participants will be given access to the E-SOLAS training programme to complete independently over a 4-week period. On completion of the study each participant will be invited to complete the post-training questionnaire and submit an audio-recording of their practice of behaviour change skills for blinded rating by two members of the research team.
|
Primary Outcome(s)
|
Measured at baseline and post-training: 1. Knowledge of Self-Determination Theory (SDT) strategies will be assessed by students narratively describing how they would work to motivate a disengaged client case study that will be coded by a blinded expert rater 2. Confidence (self-efficacy) in the use of the above SDT behavioural change strategies will be assessed using a researcher devised questionnaire (10 items, 7-point Likert Scale) 3. Competence in applying the above SDT behavioural change strategies will be assessed by each student audio-recording a role play with a colleague that will involve each participants use of the SDT strategies to support the 'client' to change their behaviour related to healthy eating, which will be rated by a blinded expert rater
|
Secondary Outcome(s)
|
Satisfaction and acceptability of each educational training programme will be assessed using a researcher devised questionnaire (5-point Likert Scale) post training
