BEHAVIORAL

Mediterranean Diet Education Program

The intervention consists of a 4-week Mediterranean Diet Education Program designed specifically for nurses working rotating shifts. The program included four weekly group sessions, each lasting approximately 60 minutes, delivered in-person by a registered dietitian with training in behavioral change and clinical nutrition. Sessions are interactive and supported by visual and printed educational materials. Participants receive a printed handbook including a food pyramid graphic, portion guides, weekly shopping lists, and sample menus tailored to shift work schedules. They also gain access to a moderated online discussion group and receive weekly motivational text messages to reinforce key messages. No food is provided directly.
