Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
This project aims to create a Saudi-sign language general nutritional education program and then test its effectiveness in enhancing the nutritional status and knowledge of Saudis with profound hearing impairments.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
This project aims to create a Saudi-sign language general nutritional education program and then test its effectiveness in enhancing the nutritional status and knowledge of Saudis with profound hearing impairments.
Methods: The study will be divided into two phases. The first phase will cultural adaptation and translation of the General Nutrition Knowledge Questionnaire (GNKQ) which will be used in the intervention study. In this phase, the forward-backwards technique will be followed, for internal consistency will be used Cronbach's alpha. A Saudi-sign language general nutritional education program will be created from accredible source for content appropriateness. For the second phase, the interventional study, the participants will be randomly selected and allocated to either the control or the experimental group. The efficacy of the Saudi-sign language general nutrition education program to enhance the knowledge and nutrition health of Saudi adults with profound hearing impairment will be compared to a control group. A small group counselling will be delivered to the experimental group using pictures, animated films, models, and Saudi-sign language translations supplied by a sign language interpreter in the videos and person during sessions. The same video will be used to create PowerPoint with nutritional education information for the control group in Arabic. Anthropometric data, body composition, a 3-day food diary, and the GNKQ will all be gathered at baseline and twelve weeks later.

Nutritional education program intervention
Nutritional education program intervention (NEP group n=30) profound hearing-impaired people who will receive tailored nutritional education program intervention utilizing Saudi-Sign Language supplied by a sign language interpreter in the videos and person during sessions.
Tailored nutritional education program utilizing Saudi-sign language supplied by Saudi-sign language interpreter
The program will be implemented in an experimental group composed of profoundly impaired hearing adults (91 Decibels and above). The experimental group will receive nutrition group counselling via photos, and models, and Saudi-sign language interpreter, including awareness of food groups and their nutrients, choose healthy and balanced items from supermarkets, restaurants or coffee shop menus-traffic lights on nutrition labelling and health problems or diseases related to diet and weight management
Control
Control (C group n=31) Profound hearing-impaired people who will non- receive tailored nutritional education program intervention utilizing Saudi-Sign Language
No interventions assigned to this group
