Abstract:
Objective: The purpose of this study was to gain a better understanding of the nutritional knowledge, attitudes, and dietary behaviors of clinical nurses from a hospital in Macao, by analyzing the influencing factors and exploring the relationships between these factors. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive research design was performed from December 2021 to January 2022. A total of 198 clinical nurses from a hospital in Macao were selected as the research subjects. The questionnaire used in the survey consisted of the following sections: general demographics, nutritional knowledge, nutritional attitude, and dietary behavior. Results: The average nutritional knowledge score of clinical nurses was 15.33±3.75, while the average nutritional attitude score was 51.54±8.24. Meanwhile, the average dietary behavior score was 66.65±10.05. There was a positive correlation between nutritional knowledge and dietary behavior (p<0.01). Nutritional attitudes were positively correlated with dietary behaviors (p<0.001). Conclusion: (1) Nutritional knowledge of clinical nurses from a hospital in Macao scores relatively high, while nutritional attitude and dietary behavior scored are considered to be mediocre with room for improvement, with variations in scoring between different areas / departments. (2) Gender and medical specialty were the main factors that were linked to nutritional knowledge, while gender, age, working experience and professional title were the main factors that were tied to nutritional attitude and dietary behavior; it should be noted that the nutritional knowledge coming from an academic setting had a relatively minor contribution. (3) There are no significant correlations between nutritional knowledge and nutritional attitude, but there are significant correlations between nutritional knowledge and dietary behavior, as well as nutritional attitude and dietary behavior. It is suggested that hospitals adopt a systematic approach to training that targets the knowledge deficiencies in specific areas / departments, in order to strengthen overall nutritional knowledge of nurses; in addition, there should be targeted training on nutritional attitude and dietary behavior to junior, less experienced nurses. Academic institutions also need to strengthen the curriculum for nutritional education, in order to improve the overall nutritional knowledge of nurses.
