Abstract

Abstract INTRODUCTION;Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2D), is Aa Life-Threatening Condition Of Public Health Concern. it worsens acute and Chronic complications. However, lifestyle interventions reduce the risk of both acute and chronic complications, and nutrition education can empower individuals on the appropriate metabolic control, global lifestyle changes and optimize quality of life. OBJECTIVE; The study was to assess the effect of nutrtion educational intervention to enhance dietary adherence among type II diabetes mellitus patients. METHOD; A quasi- experimental study was conducted By Allocating Hospitals Into An Intervention that Was Receive Nutrition Education against Controls That Would Receive The Routine Service. Data was measured twice (baseline and end line survey after twelveweek.The data was collected using kobo toolbox.The collected data was exported to Spss version 25 Continuous variables was presented as the mean± standard deviation and categorical variables presented as percentages. Comparisons between groups was performed using paired-samples t tests to assess the Effect of educational intervention on Dietary Adherence. At 95% confidence level, value with p-values less than 0.05 was considered signifcant for all statistical tests. Result. The mean pre- and postintervention nutritional knowledge was 1.35 and 2.46 and Dietary Adherence was 2.8324 And 5.8002 in intervention group, respectively. The increase in mean nutritional knowledge and dietary adherence was statistically significant (P < 0.001). In control group, the pre- and postintervention mean nutritional knowledge was 1.40 and 1.40 and good dietary Adherence was,2.8567 and 2.9142 respectively. but the difference was not significant (P > 0.05) .There was significant (P < 0.001) improvement in the scores of HBM constructs in intervention group. Conclusion and Recommendations. Providing nutrition education based on Health Belief Model improves nutritional knowledge and dietary adherence of type II diabetes mellitus patients. Hence, governmental, nongovernmental organization, and health-care provider should include Health Belief Model construct into existing nutrition education programs. Moreover, government should incorporate HBM theory into national nutrition education guidelines.

Ethiopia diabetes Mellitus dietary Adhrence Figures Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 3 Introduction 1.1 Background Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder characterized by chronically elevated blood glucose levels resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both(1). It has become one of the world biggest health concern affecting both developed and developing countries and world-wide it is ranked among one of the four priority non-communicable diseases(2,3). Diabetes Mellitus is increasing rapidly in the world. According to International Diabetes Federation (IDF) there were 463 million people aged 20-79 years living with diabetes globally. These numbers are predicted to rise to 642 million by 2045, with the highest increase occurring in low to middle income countries(4). In 2019 the International Diabetes Federation Africa Region (AFR) estimated that there were 19.4 million adults aged 20-79 years living with diabetes, with a regional prevalence of 3.9%(5). The prevalence of diabetes in Ethiopia, ranging from 2.0% to 6.5%(6). Overweight has been a major contributor of type 2 diabetes epidemic it accounts for about 90 of all diagnosed cases of diabetes in adult (7). Nearly 80% of type diabetic individuals are overweigh and Approximately 50% of new cases of type 2 diabetes can be controlled adequately by lifestyle changes (diet and exercise)(8). The management of diabetes mellitus (DM) includes both medical care and non-pharmacological care such as meal planning, changes in lifestyle, education, physical activity habits, self-care by the patient. Nutrition education intervention by professional is a key component of diabetes care and diabetes management(9).Non adherence to dietary practice advice is the main challenge among Type 2 diabetic patients(10). In order to achieve effective nutrition therapy each patient should adhere properly to Healthy eating habit and weight management combined with physical activity may help to improve glycaemic level(11).Nutrition therapy is important in preventing pre diabetes,managing existing diabetes and slow the rate of development of diabetes complications(12). A number of studies supports that type 2 diabetes is largely preventable through diet and life style adjustment. The incidence can be decreased by 25% by following lifestyle modification(13).Nutrition-related health issues have become more prevalent in the Middle East during the last two decades, causing changes that include increases in obesity and risk factors for chronic disease(14). In addition, excessive energy intake leads to overweight and obesity, which is linked with a range of health problems, including diabetes mellitus(15). FAO/WHO International Conference of Nutrition indicate that unhealthy eating patterns have been increasing around the world.fat intake has been rising rapidly in lower-middle-income countries since the 1980s(16).Evidence showed that nutrition education is a cost-effective method for controlling diabetes compared to treating patients in hospitals and has been shown to improve eating behaviour and clinical outcome(17,18).Previous studies have shown that nutrition education is significantly associated with adherence to recommended dietary habits among diabetes mellitus patients in different countries(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20). Poor nutritional knowledge and conflicting dietary recommendations On the other hand can lead to poor dietary adherence(21). Methods and materials Study area Addis Ababa the capital and largest city of Ethiopia. the city is divided in to 11sub-cities containing 117 woredas at which the City lies at an altitude of 7,546 feet (2,300metres). Its population of 2024 is estimated to be 5,703,628 million that resides in 11sub-cities and 117 woredas.The city has 06 public hospitals, 25 private hospitals, more than 97 health centers and about 500 clinics according to EDHS 2016. The Addis Ababa health bureau is responsible for managing Six hospitals including Gandhi Memorial Hospital, Yekatit 12 Hospital Medical College, Zewditu Memorial, Ras-Desta Damtew Memorial, Menelik II Referral, and Tirunesh Beijing General Hospital.The study will be done in ras desta hospital, Zewditu memorial hospital,Menlik II referal hospital and yekatit 12 hospital Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Menlik II referal hospital, yekatit 12 Hospital, Zewditu memorial hospital and Ras Desta hospital are some of the hospitals that are capable in providing follow up service for diabetes mellitus patients. Study design& Study period Non equivalent Control Group Pretest-Posttest quasi-experimental study was employed from May 2024 to September 2024 Source Population The source populations was all adult patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus attending diabetic follow-up clinics at public hospitals in Addis Ababa from May2024 to september 2024. Study Population All selected adult Type 2 diabetes mellitus who attended diabetic follow-up clinics at public hospitals in Addis Ababa from May2024 to september 2024 who the fulfill the iclusion Criteria. Inclusion Criteria - Those who are above the age of 18 years - Had a follow up in the hospital for at least 6 month Exclusion Criteria - those who are critically sick during the time of data collection period. Sample Size Determination. Sample size calculation was done using proportion (2 groups, two sided) driven by using OpenEpi (a web application used to perform statistical analysis) By assuming equal sample size number in each group, two sided 95% confidence interval (CI), and 80% power. Because of there is no previous prevalence we will take 50% and the assumption of 20% incensement after the intervention which will be 70%. Which make the Risk/Prevalence difference =20%.Hence, using the following formula, the final sample size included in this study will be 208 by adding 10% the total final 228(114 for intervention and 114 for control group) Type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. Two-sided significance level(1-alpha): 95 Power(1-beta, % chance of detecting): 80 Ratio of sample size, Unexposed/Exposed: 1 Percent of Unexposed with Outcome: 50 Percent of Exposed with Outcome: 70 Odds Ratio: 2.3 Risk/Prevalence Ratio: 1.4 Risk/Prevalence difference: 20 Kelsey Fleiss Fleiss with CC Sample Size - Exposed 95 94 104 Sample Size-Nonexposed 95 94 104 Total sample size: 190 188 208 By Adding 10% non response rate n= the final Sample size will be (n) =228 Epi info out put for Sample size calculation using proportion (2 groups, two sided) 4.8 Sampling technique A Multi stage sampling procedure was employed. There are available six hospitals from six Hospitals four hospitals was selected which are under Addis Ababa Health Bureau and from those four Hospitals twl hospitals was the intervention and two was the control group. Yekatit 12 Hospitals Medical College and Zewditu Memorial hospital,Ras desta Damtew memorial hospital, Menlik II referall hospital was selected by a Lottery Method. The total sample size of 228 was allocated to each hospital proportionally to the number of patients in each hospital. Data collection tool and technique Socioeconomic and demographic information was collected only at baseline. Health Belief Model constructs, nutrition knowledge, and dietary adhrence measured twice baseline and end line after nutrition education. Nutrition Knowledge was assessed using eight questions that were adopted from other literature and contextualized into the local context. Each question was answered using the “Yes”, “No” and “I don’t know” options. A correct answer (“Yes”) was assigned 1 point and an incorrect//unknown answer (“No” and “I don’t know”) were assigned 0 points. The total score for each patient on the eight questions was calculated and changed to percentage. After that the score of each participant was changed into a three-category response based on modified Bloom’s cut-off point, as adequate (if score was between 80 and 100%), moderate (if the score was between 60 and 79.9%), and inadequate (if the score was less than 60%) knowledge. Dietary data was collected by asking participants nine health questions based on the Perceived Dietary Adherence Questionnaire (PDAQ). Responses was recorded in days based on a 7-Likert scale. Higher values indicate higher compliance. Patients who reported 4 to 7 days was classified as practicing good eating habits, while, less than four days were classified as poor dietary practices(61). Items of Health Belief Model constructs was measured using five-point likert scale (strongly agree = 5; through strongly disagree =1). )Then, the value of each likert scale scored by participants for each question was summed and the average was calculated. Operational definition Diet : refers to the recommended diet for people with DM who should ate small meals spread throughout the day (at least 5/day), ate fruits and vegetables daily, and ate foods high in fibers and whole grain but low in fats, sugars and carbohydrates that have high glycemic index(69) Adherence : Participants were asked about how many of the last 7 days they participated in healthy diet eating habits.those who scored the mean and above the overall dietary recommendation score is Adherent to dietary recommendation and those who scored below the overall mean dietary recommendation score is Non Adherent to dietary recommendation(64,66). Nutritional knowledge : Knowledge was assessed using eight questions and the total response was classified in to three groups based on the modified Bloom’s cut-off point as adequate (80-100%), moderate (60-79.9%) and inadequate (<60%) knowledge(71,(72) Procedure of follow up and intervention After collecting relevant baseline data from both groups, education was given every 15 days for 3 month For intervention group, education was given by two nutritonist based on Health Belief Model theory: (1) susceptibility of the disease due to inappropriate dietary practices nutrient deficiency or over nutrient intake; (2) severity of the disease; (3) benefits of right eating or dietary practices to improve nutritional status and health, (4) barriers to practice appropriate good dietary practices; (5) self-confidence/efficacy to follow right dietary practices. The first and second intervention sessions focused on the overview and basic concepts of DM, including risk factors, diagnosis, symptoms, complications, and treatment of type II patients. The goal of this session was to create awareness of patient on how to take action. The 3rd and 4th sessions was adress management of type 2 diabetes mellitus according to national and international guidelines. The aim of this session was to encourage behaviour change the session was including a varied and balanced diet, how to reduce unhealthy eating habits, and how to replace foods not recommended for people with diabetes with recommended foods, healthy eating habits, how to prepare and cook healthy food(65,66, 67,68). The fifth session focused on adherence to recommended dietary recommendations, development of a healthy eating plan, and clinical monitoring The goal of this session on lifestyle change counselling and behavioural change(69,70,71,72). The education was provided using theoretical session, poster, flipchart, and whiteboard in a small group format (8 to 10 patients) every 15 days for one and a half hours for five consecutive months from May,2024 to september 30,2024. after they received their usual care. A control group did not receive any specifc Education intervention during follow-up. Control patients received usual care according to national guidelines for non-communicable diseases then a Three-month follow-up was done without providing any additional nutrition education. Data analysis The data were entered using the Kobo Toolbox and exported to SPSS version 25 for analysis. Continuous data was checked for normality using the Kolmogrov–Smirnov test.Descriptive statistics such as the mean±standard deviation and percentage was generated.Comparisons between groups was performed using paired-samples t tests to assess the Effect of educational intervention on Dietary Adherence. At 95% confidence level, value with p-values less than 0.05 was considered signifcant for all statistical tests. Results Sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of the study participants A total of 228 type II diabetes patients participated in the study.The majority of study participants in both groups were female 58 (50.9%) and 69( 60.5%),being married 69( 60.5%) and 89(78.1%),and aged 48 to 63 years respectively. Of the 228 participants 99(99.1%) in the intervention group and 80(70.2%) in the control group were from Urban area. Most of the study participants in both groups work as government employee. Moreover 36(31.6%)of the participants in the intervention group and 63(55.3%)participants in the control group were high school completed.The mean duration since diagnosis of DM was 5.31±3.4years and 4.41±2.7 years in intervention and control groups, respectively(Table 1) Nutritional Knowledge of type II diabetes mellitus patients before and after educational intervention. A total of 9(7.9%) patients had adequate knowledge regarding the recommended dietary practices for individuals with T2DM, 22(19.3%) had moderate knowledge, and the remaining 83 (72.8%) had inadequate knowledge from the intervention group before educational intervention (baseline). A total of 14(12.3%) patients had adequate knowledge regarding the recommended dietary practices for individuals with T2DM, 18(15.8%) had moderate knowledge, and the remaining 82 (71.9%) had inadequate knowledge from the control group before educational intervention (baseline). After the educational intervention (end-line) 65(57.0%) patients had adequate knowledge, 37(32.5%)had moderate knowledge,12(10.5%) had inadequate knowledge from the intervention group,while 23(20.2%)patients had adequate knowledge,8(7%) had moderate and 83(70.8%)had inadequate knowledge,respectively from the control group after educational intervention( end-line)(figure 5) Thus, the result of this study revealed that there was an improvement in the knowledge of participants after educational intervention in the intervention group when compared to the control group.Accordingly, there was no statistically significant mean score difference on the Nutritional Knowledge at baseline,between the two groups P=( 0. 116) but the difference was highly significant (P < 0.001) at the end of nutrition education. The paired t-test indicated that the mean nutritional knowledge score was highly significantly improved (P < 0.001) from 1.35 to 2.46 in intervention group(Table 2). Effect of nutritional expert led education on dietary adherence of type II diabetes mellitus patients before and after educational intervention. At baseline, there was no statistically signifcant diference in the mean score of dietary adherence between intervention and control group(2.8324 ± .54458 vs 2.8567± .1.75786) Afer the implementation of the educational intervention a paired t-test indicated a difference in mean score of adherence level in the intervention group signifcantly increased from the baseline (p=<0.001) from 2.8324 to 5.8002 (Table 3 ). Health belief model construct scores At baseline, there was no signifcant diference in the HBM construct scores between the intervention and control groups. The mean and standard deviation (SD) of Health Belief Model (HBM) constructs subscale are shown in (Table 4).Except perceiving barrier, which was decreased The meanscore of all Health Belief Model constructs were increased.The paired t-test indicated that there was highly significant difference (P < 0.001) between pre- and post nutrition education intervention mean of Health Belief Model constructs score in intervention group (Table 4) Discussion The finding supports the effectiveness of nutrition expert-led education to enhance dietary adherence based on Health Belief Model (HBM) to improve the nutrition knowledge and dietary Adhrence of type II DM patients through increasing perceived severity, susceptibility,benefits, self-efficacy, and decreasing perceived barriers. Accordingly the present study revealed that there was no statistically significant mean score difference on the nutrition knowledge at baseline between the intervention 1.35 and 1.40 control groups,respectively. But at the end line, the intervention group had a greater mean dietary knowledge score compared to that of the comparison group 2.46 ± .681(p < 0.01). This result is consistant with previous study in Jimma reveled that educational programm offer for T2DM patients improve dietary knowledge(73).Similar quasi expermental study conducted at public hospitals in the Ilu Aba Bor and Buno Bedelle zones of southwest Ethiopiaa significant improvement in the mean score of knowledge and s after nurse-led Diabetic self management education(57). an interventional study finding from south Africa add to the evidence that intervention improved the knowledge of diabetes significantly from baseline to post-intervention(74).Similarly,results are in agreement with india studies done in people with T2DM. These results add to the evidence that Nutrition education programme significantly improved knowledge of diet(75).Another similar result from malasia support the result of this study educational intervention was effective in improving knowledge(76). A possible explanation for these fndings is that to frequent education and follow-up during intervention period as human behavior can be changed by well-designed adequate nutritional education, which ultimately leads to improvements in nutritional status and better health. In this study, the nutrition expert education intervention program signifcantly increased the overall mean number of days adhering to a healthy diet. After the educational intervention, the mean days of adherence to a healthy diet increased in the intervention group compared to the control group, with a signifcant diference (p<0.0001). This fnding was supported by previous studie in Mekelle general Hospital and Adigrat General Hospital in Ethiopia where they suggested that Patient-centered nutrition education has resulted in positive adjustments in the eating behavior of people with type 2 diabetes(77). The finding was also in agreement with another Another quasi expermental study conducted in Ethiopia North shoa which suggest that a nutritional intervention program could signifcantly increase the overall mean number of days of adherence to a healthy diet(58)similar study also support the result of this study which conclude educational intervention have a significant impact on the patients' selfcare of dietary adherence following the training(78).on contrary a study from kenya support the result of this study by concluding nutrition education and other health education improve dietary adhrence of type II diabetes patients(54). the finding is consistant with previous study that support the efectiveness of educational intervention related to adherence to a diabetic diet on improved performance of patients with T2DM(79) .Similar evidence from iran support the result of this study educational programs based on the health belief model constructs over 3 and 6 months in adopting healthy dietary adherence behavior(80). For Health Belief Model the study revealed that except perceived barriers which were decreased, all the other mean Health Belief Model scores significantly increased after nutrition education in experimental group. The perceived barriers were decreased in this study This fnding is consistent with the fndings of other studies(78,79). Perceived barriers are ofen the most predictive constructs and are ofen more difcult to change than other constructs; therefore, more attention needs to be given to perceived barriers. Addressing perceived barriers ofen requires considering and addressing the broader context in which the behavior occurs. Perceived barriers are infuenced by various contextual factors, such as social, cultural, economic, and environmental factors. On the contrary, the higher improvement of dietary adherence in the intervention group might be explained by higher impact of Health Belief Models by increasing perceived susceptibility, severity, benefits, self-efficacy, and decreased perceived barriers to appropriate dietary adherence and improvement in nutritional knowledge. Patients ,who fear for severity of diabetes, understand the benefits of practicing good nutrition for improvement of there health, and have ability to act on good nutritional activities, were more likely to practice good nutrition and eating habits. Similarly, patients exposed to nutrition information could follow good nutrition practices since research evidence suggested that those who exposed to nutrition information were more likely to practice good dietary practices . Knowledge on severity and susceptibility of patient to diabetes mellitus and poor health outcomes as they are likely to be more sensitive to there health condition and follow appropriate dietary pattern. And the use of counseling technique, teaching aids such as leafets, and providing Nutrition expert -based nutrition education Strength of the study - since there is no similarly study in the study setup it makes a new study. - The study design that was used is strong and generate strong cause effect relationship so the result of the study is generalizeable to the general population. - The period of observation is long whene compared to other studies conducted in different region of Ethiopia . Limitation of the study - Findings were based on patient responses to assessments of dietary changes that contribute to information bias. - Whene people know as they are observed theye may change there practice from the routine so observer and social desirability bias may have infuenced the results Conclusion This study found that a nutritional intervention program could signifcantly increase the overall mean of adherence to a healthy diet . After the educational intervention, the mean of dietary knowledge in the intervention group (2.46± .681) compared to thecontrolgroup (1.40 ± .806) and adherence to a healthy diet increased in the intervention group (5.8002 ± .31813) compared to the control group (2.9142± 1.18533), with a signifcant diference (p<0.0001). Hence, delivering nutrition education based on Heath Belief Model can be appropriate tool to improve nutritional knowledge, and dietary adhrence of typeII diabetes patients. Recommendations In summary, policy makers and health car providers are focusing on the following key program areas: 1) The government include Health Belief Model constructs in national nutrition education guidelines and Nutritional health promotion programs should be integrated into existing systems as a common therapeutic service/treatment tool to bring change in nutritional knowledge and dietary Adhrence of type II diabetes patients.. 2) The governmental, nongovernmental organization should include Health Belief Model to Design diferent strategies in order to create health promotion programs to reach large communities in need using a wide range of learning strategies. 3) Assign health promoters to provide and design health education programs on nutritional advice recommended as routine care in hospitals and health centers diabetic follow-up clinics. 4) Focus on detailed analysis and understanding of the barrier faced by the patient and integrate them into their daily activities; additionally, providers should understand the basic nutritional needs of their patients. 5) Policy makers and planners Planner and policy maker need to address the high proportion inadequate gycemic control among type 2 diabetes patients through advocating and supporting dietary adherence which is fundamental for improving glycemic control through patients family centered model based diabetic education that consider educational status, gender and different age group and detailed written instruction like handouts/ leaflets and audio visuals as preferred by the patient 6) The Health care and professionals Health professionals should educate and empower patients to adhere to the recommended dietary and hospitals in general should improve the diabetic follow up service by making the follow up time more flexible and convenient for patients and devoting adequate time for consultation during each visit. 7)Researchers Furthermore investigation community based expermental study is needed to assess dietary adherence and Qualitative study is needed to understand reasons for non adherence inorder to enhance dietary adherence Abbreviations CI CONFIDENCE INTERVAL DM DIABETES MELLITUS EDHS ETHIOPIAN DEMOGRAPHIC HEALTH SURVEY FAO.

Background\u0026nbsp;\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDiabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder characterized by chronically elevated blood glucose levels resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both(1). It has become one of the world biggest health concern affecting both developed and developing countries \u0026nbsp;and world-wide it is ranked among one of the \u0026nbsp;four priority non-communicable diseases(2,3).\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDiabetes Mellitus is increasing rapidly in the world. According to International Diabetes Federation (IDF) there were 463 million people aged 20-79 years living with diabetes globally. These numbers are predicted to rise to 642 million by 2045, with the highest increase occurring in low to middle income countries(4). In 2019 the International Diabetes Federation Africa Region (AFR) estimated that there were 19.4 million adults aged 20-79 years living with diabetes, with a regional prevalence of 3.9%(5).\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe prevalence of diabetes in Ethiopia, ranging from 2.0% to 6.5%(6). Overweight has been a major contributor of type 2 diabetes epidemic it accounts for about 90 of all diagnosed cases of diabetes in adult (7).

worsens acute and Chronic complications. However, lifestyle interventions reduce the risk of both acute and chronic complications, and nutrition education can empower individuals on the appropriate metabolic control, global lifestyle changes and optimize quality of life.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOBJECTIVE; The study was to assess the effect of nutrtion educational intervention to enhance dietary adherence among type II diabetes mellitus patients.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMETHOD; A quasi- experimental study was conducted By Allocating Hospitals Into An Intervention that Was Receive Nutrition Education against Controls That Would Receive The Routine Service. Data was measured twice (baseline and end line survey after twelveweek.The data was collected using kobo toolbox.The collected data was exported to Spss version 25 Continuous variables was presented as the mean± standard deviation and categorical variables presented as percentages. Comparisons between groups was performed using paired-samples t tests to assess the Effect of educational intervention on Dietary Adherence. At 95% confidence level, value with p-values less than 0.05 was considered signifcant for all statistical tests.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eResult. The mean pre- and postintervention nutritional knowledge was 1.35 and 2.46 and Dietary Adherence was 2.8324 And 5.8002 in intervention group, respectively. The increase in mean nutritional knowledge and dietary adherence was statistically significant (P \u0026lt; 0.001). In control group, the pre- and postintervention mean nutritional knowledge was 1.40 and 1.40 and good dietary Adherence was,2.8567 and 2.9142 respectively. but the difference was not significant (P \u0026gt; 0.05) .There was significant (P \u0026lt; 0.001) improvement in the scores of HBM constructs in intervention group.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConclusion and Recommendations. Providing nutrition education based on Health Belief Model improves nutritional knowledge and dietary adherence of type II diabetes mellitus patients. Hence, governmental, nongovernmental organization, and health-care provider should include Health Belief Model construct into existing nutrition education programs. Moreover, government should incorporate HBM theory into national nutrition education guidelines.\u003c/p\u003e","manuscriptTitle":"Effect of Nutrition Education to Enhance Dietary Adherence Among Type II Diabetes Mellitus Patients Attending Diabetic follow-up Clinics in Addis Ababa: A Multi-center Quasi Experimental Study Based on the Health Belief Model","msid":"","msnumber":"","nonDraftVersions":[{"code":1,"date":"2025-09-09 11:24:40","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-6706671/v1","editorialEvents":[{"type":"communityComments","content":0}],"status":"published","journal":{"display":true,"email":"[email protected]","identity":"researchsquare","isNatureJournal":false,"hasQc":true,"allowDirectSubmit":true,"externalIdentity":"","sideBox":"","snPcode":"","submissionUrl":"/submission","title":"Research Square","twitterHandle":"researchsquare","acdcEnabled":true,"dfaEnabled":false,"editorialSystem":"","reportingPortfolio":"","inReviewEnabled":false,"inReviewRevisionsEnabled":true}}],"origin":"","ownerIdentity":"bd29b658-5134-42da-87a7-3cad0a249d5b","owner":[],"postedDate":"September 9th, 2025","published":true,"recentEditorialEvents":[],"rejectedJournal":[],"revision":"","amendment":"","status":"posted","subjectAreas":[],"tags":[],"updatedAt":"2025-11-11T09:24:29+00:00","versionOfRecord":[],"versionCreatedAt":"2025-09-09 11:24:40","video":"","vorDoi":"","vorDoiUrl":"","workflowStages":[]},"version":"v1","identity":"rs-6706671","journalConfig":"researchsquare"},"__N_SSP":true},"page":"/article/[identity]/[[...version]]","query":{"redirect":"/article/rs-6706671","identity":"rs-6706671","version":["v1"]},"buildId":"8U1c8b4HqxoKbykW_rLl7","isFallback":false,"isExperimentalCompile":false,"dynamicIds":[84888],"gssp":true,"scriptLoader":[]}
