Participants who had information about healthy nutrition had higher nutrition knowledge scores p0.013. Participants who used medical institution p0.007 and scientific books and publications p0.001 for nutrition information scored higher marks on the nutrition knowledge assessment. It was showed that Digital Healthy Diet Literacy of schoolteachers whose nutrition knowledge was low-to-mid were higher than schoolteachers whose nutrition knowledge was mid-to-high p0.007.

 Öğrencilerle sürekli iletişim ve etkileşim halinde olan öğretmenler öğrencilere sağlıklı beslenme alışkanlıklarının ve yeme davranışlarının kazandırılmasında önemli bir rol modeldir. Bu çalışmada, öğretmenlerin beslenme bilgi düzeyleri ve ilişkili faktörlerin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu kesitsel çalışma Mayıs 2022-Temmuz 2022 tarihlerinde online olarak yürütülmüştür. Öğretmenlere beslenme bilgi ölçeği ve dijital sağlıklı diyet okuryazarlığı ölçeği uygulanmış, sosyodemografik özellikleri ile beslenme bilgi kaynakları sorgulanmıştır. Öğretmenlerin beslenme bilgi puanları 94,5412,97 olarak bulunmuştur. Katılımcıların 65,6sının beslenme bilgi düzeyi orta-yüksektir. Sağlıklı beslenme konusunda bilgi sahibi olanların beslenme bilgi puanları daha yüksek bulunmuştur p0,013. Bilgi kaynağı olarak sağlık kurumu p0,007 ve kitap ve bilimsel kaynaklardan p0,001 yararlananların beslenme bilgi puanlarının daha yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir. Beslenme bilgi düzeyi düşük-orta olanların dijital sağlıklı diyet okuryazarlığının, beslenme bilgi düzeyi yüksek olanlardan daha fazla olduğu gösterilmiştir p0,007. Öğretmenlerin büyük bir kısmının beslenme bilgi düzeyinin orta-yüksek olduğu görülmektedir. Beslenme bilgi düzeyinin arttırılmasında doğru bilgi kaynaklarına ulaşmak büyük önem taşımaktadır. Öğretmenler sağlıklı beslenme konusunda öğrenci ve ailelerine hem rol model olarak hem de doğru bilgi kaynaklarına yönlendirerek sağlıklı beslenme alışkanlıklarının kazandırılmasında önemli rol oynar. Dolayısıyla, çocukluktan adolesan döneme kadar sağlıklı beslenme ve yeme davranışlarının kazandırılması için öğretmenlerin beslenme bilgi düzeylerinin arttırılması ve beslenme ile ilişkili seminer ve eğitimlerin yaygınlaştırılması ve sürekli hale getirilmesi büyük önem taşımaktadır.
