Assessing Knowledge of Dietary Sodium Content and Implementation of Color-Coded Cue Cards to Aid in Improving Adherence to Low Sodium Diets in Patients With Heart Failure.
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Standard Dietary Sodium Education and Color-Coded Cue Cards for Diet, Sodium-Restricted and Heart Failure C14.280.434. Completed, enrolled 10 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Develop an evidence-based intervention aimed at patients with heart failure (HF) using color-coded cue cards to assist in the selection of foods appropriate to their sodium restricted diet. The milligram per serving sodium content of foods will be assigned color-coded green/yellow/red designation according to very low/moderate/high as identified by the United States Food and Drug Administration's definitions of sodium content. Assess patient knowledge of foods with sodium content appropriate for consumption on a low sodium diet before implementation of the intervention by calculating average milligrams of sodium per serving via choices made through simulated grocery store shopping. Evaluate application of patient knowledge about low-sodium food choices using a simulated grocery store shopping intervention by calculating average milligrams of sodium per serving via choices made using the color-coded card.
