Influencing factors on nutritional knowledge, attitudes, and practices among nursing assistants in nursing homes
This study reveals a significant deficiency in nutritional knowledge among nursing assistants in Shanghai's nursing homes, which adversely impacts their nutritional practices. The findings underscore the urgent need for enhanced training programs and to improve the nutritional competencies of nursing assistants. By addressing these gaps through targeted education and consistent supervision, the quality of nutritional care provided to older adults in nursing homes can be substantially improved.
