To explore the nature, role and utility of mentoring in the development of competence in advanced-level Australian public health nutritionists.
Qualitative study using in-depth interviews.
Eighteen advanced-level public health nutritionists working in academic and practice settings in Australia.
The attributes and career pathways of the subjects were consistent with previous findings. Dissatisfaction with clinical practice was a key reason for choosing a career in public health. Experiential learning, postgraduate education and mentoring from both peers and senior colleagues were the most significant contributors to competency development. The subjects supported mentoring as an important strategy for public health nutrition workforce development and articulated the characteristics and models important for mentoring relationships in public health nutrition.
The present study suggests mentoring was an important part of competency development for advanced-level public health and community nutritionists in Australia. Mentoring programmes based on experiential learning may assist in developing public health nutrition workforce competence.
探讨指导在澳大利亚高级公共卫生营养师能力发展中的性质、作用和效用。
采用深度访谈的定性研究。
18名在澳大利亚学术和实践机构工作的高级公共卫生营养师。
研究对象的特质和职业发展路径与之前的研究结果一致。对临床实践的不满是选择从事公共卫生职业的关键原因。体验式学习、研究生教育以及同行和资深同事的指导是能力发展的最重要因素。研究对象支持将指导作为公共卫生营养劳动力发展的一项重要策略，并阐述了公共卫生营养指导关系中重要的特征和模式。
本研究表明，指导是澳大利亚高级公共卫生和社区营养师能力发展的重要组成部分。基于体验式学习的指导计划可能有助于提高公共卫生营养劳动力的能力。
