INTRODUCTION: Diabetic patients generally have a good idea about healthy diet however their awareness regarding specific dietary recommendations is questionable. Thus, this paper aims to examine the awareness regarding specific dietary components among diabetic patients at a primary care clinic and its influence on self-reported dietary practice. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities (SDSCA) questionnaire (English-Malay version) was used. It was adapted with additional questions to assess respondents’ awareness on: (1) healthful eating plan, (2) the quantity of one serving of fruits and vegetables, (3) choices and the allowed quantity of high fat food intake, (4) meaning of carbohydrate, and (5) carbohydrate spacing per day. RESULTS: From the 360 respondents, 85.0% knew about healthful eating plan. However, those who were unaware of the meaning of carbohydrate, carbohydrate spacing, the allowed high fat food intake, and the quantity of one serving of fruits and vegetables were 34.1%, 47.5%, 40.0%, and 30.8% respectively. Generally, the dietary practice reported by those who knew ‘one serving of fruits and vegetables’ (p<0.001), ‘allowed quantity of high fat food intake’ (p=0.001), ‘meaning of carbohydrate’ (p<0.001), or ‘carbohydrate spacing’ (p<0.001) was significantly different than those who were unaware of these terms. CONCLUSION: Although most respondents knew about healthful eating plan, majority of them were unaware of the specific dietary components, suggesting superficial dietary knowledge. Unfortunately, poor dietary awareness significantly influenced their self-reported dietary practice which could be considered as inaccurate. Thus, strategies to improve their dietary knowledge is necessary at the primary care setting.

Background and aims: Stroke is a debilitating chronic illness in which patients' education and rehabilitation play major role in managing stroke patients in community. UKMStrokIT is a newly developed web-based educational intervention aiming to improve stroke knowledge, functional improvement and quality of life among stroke patients. Materials and methods:A pilot randomized controlled trial involving a total of 30 patients were recruited from Primer Clinic and Physiotherapy Unit of Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Medical Centre (UKMMC). Face and content validation were conducted among experts and carer, with verbal response given to researchers. Patients were randomized to either control or intervention group using single blinded randomization technique with computer-generated random number. The control group received pamphlets and intervention group received three sets of videos. Pre and post assessments were done using Modified Barthel Index (MBI) questionnaire, Quality of Life Questionnaire and 25-item stroke knowledge questionnaire. Open-ended questions were included to assess participants' experiences using UKMStrokIT. Analyses were done using descriptive analysis and paired t-test. Intention-to-treat analysis approach was used.Results: A total of 113 stroke patients were approached with 30 patients remained after exclusion criteria. For both MBI and QOL score, the degree of improvement was not statistically significant for video and control group. However, our results showed that there was a statistically significant improvement among video group (p= 0.015) as compared to control group (p=0.592) for stroke knowledge score. Conclusion:Video-based intervention seems to provide better understanding among stroke patient in the community compared to pamphlets. QOL and stroke knowledge showed improvement in both groups after getting some form of stroke knowledge, however it was more apparent in those received video-based intervention.
