Key result
A home-based intervention using health education materials significantly improved attitude (p=0.0004), behavior (p=0.001), and health literacy (p=0.036) regarding dietary salt intake.
Why the study?
The study was conducted to assess knowledge, attitude, and behaviors related to dietary salt intake and to develop a home-based intervention to help lower salt intake among Filipino college students.

Supports pilot home-based education for salt-related behaviors in young adults; leaves open need for larger trials confirming sustained intake reduction.
Purpose To assess the knowledge, attitude, and behaviors related to dietary salt intake and develop a home-based intervention that helps lower salt intake among Filipino college students.Design Two-phase program development study utilizing descriptive and quasi-experimental design.Methods Phase 1 determined the knowledge, attitude, and behaviors alongside the frequency of dietary salt intake of a consecutive sample (n = 118). Phase 2 involved the development and pilot-testing of a home-based intervention wherein a random sample (n = 35) selected from Phase 1 joined for pilot-testing. The study was conducted from October – November 2021 and utilized valid and reliable measures to test the knowledge, attitude, and behavior of the participants.Findings Initial assessment showed knowledge regarding health risks of high salt intake and positive attitude toward health-promoting behaviors. Post-intervention showed improvement in attitude (p = 0.0004) and behavior (p = 0.001) related to dietary salt intake alongside health literacy (p = 0.036). There was no significant change in knowledge (p = 0.054).Conclusion The home-based intervention involving the use of health education materials is successful in improving dietary salt intake patterns.Clinical Evidence Community health nurses may utilize home-based interventions to help develop health-promoting behaviors among young adults.

Armas et al. (2023) studied this question. Home-based intervention using health education materials was evaluated on Attitude, behavior, and health literacy related to dietary salt intake (p=0.0004). A home-based intervention using health education materials significantly improved attitude (p=0.0004), behavior (p=0.001), and health literacy (p=0.036) regarding dietary salt intake.
