This paper provides an overview of capacity-building efforts in the context of nutrition education for medical and healthcare professionals.
Content analysis of eighteen reports related to nutrition education and capacity building, and interviews with key personnel from the WHO and NNEdPro Global Centre for Nutrition and Health were synthesised. Recommendations to improve nutrition education and subsequent nutrition capacity of healthcare professionals were identified based on policy guidance and interviews.
Most included documents noted the importance of nutrition education and capacity building for medical and healthcare professionals. Healthcare professionals and the 'health sector' were positioned as central to achieving improved public health, and the promotion of nutrition knowledge and awareness in the general population.
Increased focus on nutrition education and capacity of the health workforce are key to improvements in population health and well-being. The WHO is well placed to support global nutrition education.
Key recommendations from the literature review and interviews include improved global data collection mechanisms, a pledge from governments to prioritise nutrition education and capacity building, along with implementation of standardised nutrition curricula for all healthcare sectors. This would include the development and expansion of on-line resources.
本文概述了针对医学和医疗保健专业人员的营养教育方面的能力建设工作。
综合分析了18份与营养教育和能力建设相关的报告，并对世界卫生组织和NNEdPro全球营养与健康中心的关键人员进行了访谈。根据政策指导和访谈确定了改善营养教育及提高医疗保健专业人员后续营养能力的建议。
大多数纳入的文件指出了营养教育和能力建设对医学和医疗保健专业人员的重要性。医疗保健专业人员和“卫生部门”被视为实现改善公众健康以及在普通人群中推广营养知识和意识的核心。
更加关注卫生人力的营养教育和能力是改善人群健康和福祉的关键。世界卫生组织在支持全球营养教育方面具有优势。
文献综述和访谈得出的关键建议包括改进全球数据收集机制、政府承诺将营养教育和能力建设列为优先事项，以及为所有医疗保健部门实施标准化的营养课程。这将包括开发和扩展在线资源。
