Identify the frequency of nutrition issues encountered by healthcare professionals and their confidence in addressing these issues.
A survey designed to assess the frequency and type of nutrition issues most often encountered in practice of a variety of healthcare professionals and the practitioners' confidence in addressing nutrition issues was developed and distributed to 5,729 graduates from an academic medical center. Descriptive statistics were calculated for all variables. Logistic regression models were used to find predictors of confidence.
The final response rate was 17.2% (n=987). The most common nutrition-related problems encountered included obesity (43.8%), diabetes mellitus (43%), and cardiovascular disease (37.1%). Nutrition issues were encountered daily or weekly by 70.5% of healthcare providers, but only 24.8% felt "very confident" in addressing nutrition issues. Significant predictors of confidence included number of years working, more frequent nutrition-related encounters, and nutrition education in professional programs.
Healthcare practitioners encounter nutrition issues frequently in practice and often do not have a high level of confidence in addressing these issues.
确定医疗保健专业人员遇到的营养问题的频率以及他们处理这些问题的信心。
设计了一项调查，以评估各类医疗保健专业人员在实践中最常遇到的营养问题的频率和类型，以及从业者处理营养问题的信心，并将其分发给一所学术医疗中心的5729名毕业生。对所有变量进行描述性统计。使用逻辑回归模型来寻找信心的预测因素。
最终回复率为17.2%（n = 987）。遇到的最常见的营养相关问题包括肥胖（43.8%）、糖尿病（43%）和心血管疾病（37.1%）。70.5%的医疗保健提供者每天或每周都会遇到营养问题，但只有24.8%的人对处理营养问题“非常有信心”。信心的重要预测因素包括工作年限、更频繁的营养相关接触以及专业课程中的营养教育。
医疗保健从业者在实践中经常遇到营养问题，并且在处理这些问题时往往信心不足。
