Single-Site Teaching Kitchen Project Increases Confidence for Dietary Interventions Aimed at Prevention of Kidney Stones in Known Stone Formers: A Pilot Study

Patterns of dietary intake are known risk factors for both kidney stone formation and recurrence. Dietary recommendations such as the Dietary Approaches To Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet can reduce risk, but patients may lack knowledge or a practical understanding on implementing these diet patterns. Virtual teaching kitchens have proven effective in improving dietary practices in other populations, but have not been applied to patients with kidney stones. This study assessed the effectiveness of virtual teaching kitchen sessions in enhancing dietary confidence and practices for kidney stone prevention.
