Abstract

The potential of using operative group in food and nutrition education was analyzed based on professional performance. This qualitative study was conducted in primary care with groups of users with chronic diseases related to food and nutrition. A total of 15 meetings were observed and recorded. Parts of them representing professional work in the operative group’s assessment vectors were selected, validated, and transcribed. The actions in the belonging and telé (empathy) vectors converged to build the group’s bond and trust. The actions in the communication vector were highlighted and influenced cooperation, learning, and pertinence. Performance depends on the professional’s skills, which occur according to the adopted methodological reference. The potential was constituted of direct and systematic assessment of groups and analysis of the professional performance. (AU)
