Introduction. The MI NUTRO (MIgrants NUTRition knOwledge for integration) study aimed to evaluate migrants nutrition knowledge, enhance their information on healthy diet and lastly to investigate the impact of healthy cooking-classes on food-knowledge. Methods. MI NUTRO is a quasi-experimental pilot study. All participants were voluntarily enrolled and the intervention was based on a combination of theoretical and practical workshops on nutrition. A validated questionnaire was used. Non-parametric Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to compare baseline and post intervention score. Results. We recruited 19 migrants. For the participants as a whole, the mean nutrition knowledge score was 11.4 ± 3.8 (standard deviation - SD) before, and 27.5 ± 5.6 SD after the intervention, with a statistical significant difference. Discussion. Our study shows a statistically significant increase in migrants' nutritional knowledge after the cooking classes. These consisted of interactive learning sessions in which every migrant had the possibility to take part in the cooking process. Moreover, at the end of each cooking class, researchers and migrants had a dinner together in order to improve their cultural exchange.
MI NUTRO (MIgrants NUTRition knOwledge per l’integrazione) ha avuto come obiettivi: valutare le conoscenze nutrizionali dei migranti, aumentare le informazioni sulla dieta sana e misurare l’effetto delle lezioni di cucina sulle conoscenze. Metodi. MI NUTRO è uno studio pilota quasi sperimentale. Tutti i partecipanti sono stati inclusi su base volontaria e l’intervento si è basato su seminari teorici e lezioni pratiche. È stato utilizzato un questionario validato. Il test non parametrico di Wilcoxon è stato usato per confrontare il punteggio pre- e post-intervento. Risultati. Il punteggio medio di conoscenza nutrizionale era 11,4 ± 3,8 (deviazione standard - DS) prima e 27,5 ± 5,6 DS dopo l’intervento, con una differenza statisticamente significativa. Discussione. I dati mostrano un aumento significativo delle conoscenze nutrizionali dei migranti dopo l’intervento. Le lezioni di cucina offerte sono state sessioni di apprendimento interattive in cui ogni migrante ha avuto la possibilità di prendere parte al processo di preparazione degli alimenti. Inoltre, alla fine di ogni lezione ricercatori e migranti hanno cenato insieme, favorendo il processo di scambio culturale.
