“…East Asian countries are characterized by family‐centred cultures, in which the family plays a statistically significant role in a patient's self‐management behaviour (Chen et al., 2016; Wah et al., 2019). Moreover, in South Korea and China, people traditionally view healthy food as medicine, which can boost one's health (Kyung Chung, 2015; Lee, 2014; Li‐Geng et al., 2020). These cultural aspects result in family members or close friends trying to facilitate the patient's self‐management, mostly by buying dietary supplements or healthy foods.…”

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which is characterized by excessive fat accumulation in the liver in people without excessive alcohol use, affects approximately one fourth of the global and South Korean populations (Araujo et al., 2018;Bellentani, 2017;Kwak & Kim, 2018). Once NAFLD has progressed, it is irreversible and can lead to liver fibrosis, cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma (European Association for the Study of the Liver, 2016). The progression of NAFLD not only imposes a clinical burden on patients but also affects their survival rate and quality of life (Perumpail et al., 2017;Younossi & Henry, 2015). A recent study reported NAFLD-related cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma as the second leading cause of liver transplantation in the United States (Bellentani, 2017).Further, studies have demonstrated that people with NAFLD have a higher mortality rate than the general population (Bellentani, 2017;European Association for the Study of the Liver, 2016).Unlike alcoholic fatty liver disease, for which the main risk factor is excessive alcohol consumption, risk factors for NAFLD include obesity, dyslipidaemia and type 2 diabetes. However, in the absence of a pharmacological therapy, NAFLD treatment is focused on metabolic profile improvement (Araujo et al., 2018;Bellentani, 2017).Clinical guidelines for managing NAFLD emphasize lifestyle modification, which includes a low-calorie diet; lower intake of refined carbohydrates, fat and sugar; and increased physical activity (European Association for the Study of the Liver, 2016;Katsagoni et al., 2017). This suggests that patients with NAFLD require lifetime disease monitoring and management.

“…According to Chung and colleagues (2016), Koreans place meaning, such as power, treatment, affection, and hope on their foods. For example, traditional ingredients and cooking modalities symbolize Korean history and agricultural backgrounds (Chung, 2015). With these cultural values, many Korean families practice “spoon culture,” where the family shares one large pot of soup and multiple side dishes, instead of having an individual dish for each person (Kwon et al, 2015).…”

In response to the growing necessity for considering the cultural and contextual needs of youth with disabilities in experimental studies, this study examines the effectiveness of an intervention package consisting of video prompting with a system of least prompts and reinforcement on Korean American adolescents with autism spectrum disorder. Through the replication of procedures used in a study by Mechling et al. (2008), the current study examined the effects of self-directed video prompting with a system of least prompts and verbal praise on completion of three preferred cooking tasks by three Korean American male adolescents with autism spectrum disorder. A single-case multiple probe design replicated across three cooking tasks was used. Results indicated the correct completion of multi-step cooking tasks increased with the intervention package and was maintained seven weeks following intervention across three participants. Discussion and implications for future research and practice are presented.

“…Among the diabetes self-care activities, adopting dietary behaviors, such as having a healthy diet and controlling calories, is challenging for many individuals with diabetes. Moreover, in Korean culture, food is considered to "prevent and treat diseases" [5], implying that the food one eats is closely related to one's belief in protecting one's health and treating diseases. However, even fresh seasonal foods, considered to help prevent and treat diseases, may not be suitable for patients with T2DM and can disrupt diabetes management.…”

Purpose: This study aimed to identify the factors that affect the dietary behavior of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus by examining their sociodemographic characteristics, diabetes-related characteristics, and treatment self-regulation.Methods: This community-based cross-sectional study was conducted between August and September 2019 at the Hypertension and Diabetes Registration Management Center in South Korea. Data were collected from 109 patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes using a questionnaire. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the independent t-test, one-way analysis of variance, Pearson correlation coefficients, and multiple regression analysis.Results: Among the investigated variables(nutrition education experience, the number of nutrition education sessions, alcohol consumption, autonomous motivation, externally controlled motivation, and amotivation), the number of nutrition education sessions (β=.19, p=.041), alcohol consumption (yes) (β=-.22, p=.014), and autonomous motivation (β=.21, p=.029) influenced patients’ dietary behavior. These factors explained approximately 12% of the total variance.Conclusion: To improve the dietary behavior of patients with type 2 diabetes, it is crucial to boost their motivation, implement policies on alcohol consumption, and provide ongoing education on nutrition tailored to their needs.
