Objective: Health of old people is one of the critical issues in many societies that needs to accurate
health policy making and adjust planning in health issues of elderly. The present study designed to
compare the efficacy of the two traditional and electronic training methods in nutritional issues in order
to life style modification in old people to develop of healthy elderly.
Methods: This survey was a quasi-experimental method via applying the Pre-test and Post-test among
65+ years old people in a retirement association of Sari province, Mazandaran state. By simple random
sampling method, 60 old people were selected, and then trained in two separated classes to 15 persons as
women and men (30 persons) via film technique. The other method was a traditional which applied in the
two separated classes of 15 persons as women and men (30 persons) by book technique. The
questionnaire applied to measure of nutritional knowledge made up by the health center. Data were
described by using SPSS software in accordance to descriptive statistics indexes (mean and standard
deviation), and inferential statistics indexes (independent T and dependent T) were used in order to
generalize results.
Findings: The mean score of increasing knowledge in training group by film was 18/57 and the mean
score in training group by book was 16/90 (T =5/299, df= 58). To satisfaction evaluating, the mean score
in training group by film was 59 and the mean score in training group by book was 35/73 (T =1/96,
df=58).
Conclusion: Based on results training of old people by electronic method as a film is more effective than
traditional method to increasing of nutritional knowledge in elderly. On the other hand, they had more
satisfaction to life style modification by using film method in comparison with traditional method as
book reading technique. Also, the training cost of the elderly via educational film is lower than training
by book. So, should be suggested to consider in training by film rather than book as an efficient and
effective method to improve of elderly health.
