Summary
This study co-developed nutrition educational resources for multiple sclerosis (MS) care. These user-centered resources aim to improve nutrition education and support for people living with MS (plwMS) and healthcare professionals (HCPs).
Area of Science:
- Nutrition Science
- Health Education
- Qualitative Research
Background:
- Nutrition is often overlooked in multiple sclerosis (MS) care, creating a gap in comprehensive patient management.
- Developing MS-specific nutrition educational resources is crucial for addressing this gap.
- This study aimed to collaboratively develop these resources with healthcare professionals (HCPs) and people living with MS (plwMS).
Purpose of the Study:
- To collaboratively develop MS-specific nutrition educational resources.
- To support the integration of nutrition into routine MS care.
- To address the needs and challenges of both HCPs and plwMS regarding nutrition in MS.
Main Methods:
- A three-phased qualitative study using the Design Thinking framework.
- Phase 1: Online workshops and interviews to explore needs and generate ideas.
- Phase 3: Usability testing of co-developed prototypes with HCPs and plwMS.
Main Results:
- Identified key themes including healthcare barriers, person-centred communication, equity, and the role of dietitians.
- Co-developed nutrition resource prototypes, refined based on user feedback on clarity, design, and credibility.
- User-centered design elements were found to drive action, support decision-making, and enhance trust.
Conclusions:
- MS-specific nutrition educational resources were successfully co-developed.
- These resources are designed to facilitate the integration of nutrition into MS care.
- Future research should evaluate the real-world applicability and effectiveness of these resources.

Various diagnostic tests are employed in the diagnostic process for Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), particularly to differentiate between Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.
Diagnostic studies
A colonoscopy is the definitive screening test, distinguishing ulcerative colitis from other colon diseases with similar symptoms. During a colonoscopy test, inflamed mucosa with exudate ulcerations can be observed, and biopsies are taken to determine the histologic characteristics of the...

Parenteral Nutrition (PN) delivers essential nutrients directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system. It is commonly used for individuals with severe digestive disorders or conditions that prevent normal nutrient absorption.
PN can be administered through two primary routes:
1. Central Parenteral Nutrition (CPN):
CPN involves delivering a high concentration of nutrients through a large vein. This is typically achieved using a Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) or,...

Gustation, or the sense of taste, is intrinsically linked to the anatomical structures located on the tongue. This organ's surface, along with the entirety of the oral cavity, is adorned with stratified squamous epithelium. Evident on the tongue are elevated structures known as papillae (singular = papilla), which house the mechanisms for the transduction of gustatory stimuli. Four distinct types of papillae exist, each identified by their unique morphological attributes: the circumvallate,...

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is characterized by narrowed arteries that diminish blood flow to the extremities. Effective management of PAD requires an interprofessional approach involving various healthcare professionals. The critical aspects of interprofessional care for PAD patients focus on risk factor modification, drug therapy, exercise therapy, nutrition therapy, critical limb ischemia care, and interventional radiology and surgical procedures.The primary treatment goal for PAD...

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) requires collaborative and comprehensive management. CKD progresses through stages and can lead to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) if untreated. Interprofessional collaboration and patient education are crucial, enabling patients to manage their health and improve their quality of life.Diagnostic approach for chronic kidney diseaseThe diagnosis of CKD primarily focuses on the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), which assesses kidney function by measuring how well...
