A survey was conducted among members of the B.C. Dietitians' and Nutritionists' Association to determine their perceived continuing education needs and preferences. Responses were received from 68.3% of the membership. The self-administered questionnaire elicited information about preferred format and timing of continuing education activities, incentives and deterrents to participation, employers' contributions to continuing education, and perceived need for further study of 78 topics categorized as nutritional care sciences, behavioural/communicative sciences and managerial sciences. Respondents indicated a preference for workshops, seminars and lectures, held outside of working hours. Topic, time and location were the major incentives/deterrents to participation in continuing education. Most respondents reported receiving paid time off work, but few reported receiving paid time off work, but few reported receiving any financial contribution towards their continuing education from their employers. Learning needs were higher for topics in the nutritional care and communication areas than for the managerial sciences topics. The questionnaire developed for this study has provided valuable information for program planners and could be readily adapted for use with other groups of dietitians/nutritionists.
对不列颠哥伦比亚省营养师和营养学家协会的成员进行了一项调查，以确定他们认为的继续教育需求和偏好。收到了68.3%的会员的回复。这份自行填写的问卷收集了有关继续教育活动的首选形式和时间、参与的激励因素和阻碍因素、雇主对继续教育的贡献，以及对78个归类为营养护理科学、行为/沟通科学和管理科学主题的进一步学习需求的信息。受访者表示更喜欢在工作时间之外举办的研讨会、讲座和课程。主题、时间和地点是参与继续教育的主要激励因素/阻碍因素。大多数受访者报告说有带薪休假时间，但很少有人报告从雇主那里获得继续教育的任何经济资助。营养护理和沟通领域主题的学习需求高于管理科学主题。为本研究编制的问卷为项目规划者提供了有价值的信息，并且可以很容易地改编用于其他营养师/营养学家群体。
