Principaux critères de jugement

Mesure des résultats
Description de la mesure
Délai
Knowledge Test
Délai: Participants will take this assessment before the start of the education session and at the end of their last session.
A pre-and post-test, is an eleven question knowledge test that includes three true or false, seven multiple choice and one select all that apply questions. The various types of questions are used in order to challenge the short term memory, long term memory of the participants. The pre- and post-test knowledge test was adapted from the version of the Keller et al., 2024 questionnaire. The questions will be scored a 1 if the answer was correct, 0 if the answer was incorrect and for the select all that apply partial credit will be given .25 for each correct answer selected. The questionnaire will generate quantitative data, the amount of correct and incorrect answers and will be divided by 11, the total number of questions in order to gain a percentage. The percentages will be compared from the pre-test to the post-test in order to see if there is any change.
Participants will take this assessment before the start of the education session and at the end of their last session.
Water Intake Log
Délai: The participants will complete the water intake log for three days before the first education session and three days after the last education session.
The water intake log will be used in order to gather quantitative data on the amount of water the participants consume throughout the day and when they completed the log. The water intake log, is an eight question intake log that includes seven questions and one check box question. The water intake log was adapted from the version of the Nakamura et al., 2020 fluid consumption log and Suntory Global Innovation Center Ltd. Research Institute. The water intake log includes a structured 5 point Likert scale the participants will use to answer the seven questions by circling the number 0-4 that corresponds with the number of glasses of water they drank at the corresponding time. At the bottom of the water intake log there is one check box question that gives insight to how the participant completed the log.
The participants will complete the water intake log for three days before the first education session and three days after the last education session.
Client Satisfaction Questionnaire-8
Délai: This will be given at the final education session.
The Client Satisfaction Questionnaire-8 (CSQ-8), is a standardized eight question assessment that uses a four point Likert scale for the participants to answer the questions based on the corresponding number. The questions using the Likert scale will gather quantitative data about satisfaction. Four additional questions using the four point Likert scale will be added to the CSQ-8 in order to gather further data on satisfaction. The additional questions have been adapted to match the format used in the CSQ-8. Three of the additional questions are on four point Likert scales and one questions a multiple choice question. This will gather the quantitative data of the satisfaction of the participants.
This will be given at the final education session.
Program Attendance
Délai: This will be completed twice a week while the program is running during the education session and the hydration happy hour.
Program attendance will be taken at each session to determine if it is feasible for member to attend the educational sessions as well as the hydration happy hour.
This will be completed twice a week while the program is running during the education session and the hydration happy hour.
