20.500.12556/RUL-132125 Food safety knowledge and practices of pregnant women and postpartum mothers in Slovenia Food safety during pregnancy and postpartum is important for preventing foodborne diseases, while pregnant women are considered vulnerable due to their immunomodulatory condition. The current study aimed to investigate the self-reported food safety knowledge and practices of pregnant women and postpartum mothers in Slovenia using an online questionnaire and to compare the results with nonpregnant women as a control group. The study was conducted with 426 women, of whom 145 were pregnant, 191 were not pregnant, and 90 were postpartum. The online questionnaire consisted of questions related to food safety risk perception, hand hygiene, food purchase, food storage, food preparation and handling of infant formula and breast milk. The results showed that women generally have basic knowledge of proper food handling and are aware of food safety, but some specific gaps were identified in food handling at home, especially concerning microbiological risks. However, the results showed that pregnant women performed better than the postpartum group, and both groups performed significantly better than the nonpregnant group. The media was most frequently cited as a source of food safety information, especially by the pregnant group. Trained health workers should also inform women on how to ensure food safety in the home environment. food safety food handling pregnancy postpartum expressed breast milk infant formula varnost hrane ravnanje s hrano nosečnost poporodna doba iztisnjeno materino mleko formula za dojenčke true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Neznano 2021-10-13 13:24:19 2021-10-13 13:24:20 2022-09-12 04:11:09 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2021 0 0 Str. 1-12, article 2412 iss. 10 Vol. 10 2021 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 2021-09-14 2021-10-07 2021-10-12 614.31:618.2/.7 2304-8158 10.3390/foods10102412 80355843 https://www.mdpi.com/2304-8158/10/10/2412 1 1c71a24f-2c18-11ec-abdb-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=149658 RAZ_Jevsnik_Mojca_2021.pdf RAZ_Jevsnik_Mojca_2021.pdf 1 BC4174D2DC5F6922E2DB9F6AF7D85B57 094ae979c3ee0b252c396af6cbd881ca3fa3e4b7562803c658f71bb2fa64255b ab2eeea4-2c18-11ec-abdb-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=149660 Zdravstvena fakulteta 0 0 0
