Determinants of clinical nutrition knowledge, attitudes, and practices of the nutrition workforce in Vietnam’s public hospitals
Non-QNPs had slightly poorer clinical nutrition knowledge and practice than QNPs. Medical doctors and preventative medicine doctors demonstrated poorer attitudes toward nutrition-related tasks than dietitians. The study recommended that hospitals in Vietnam employ QNPs (dietitians) rather than recruiting non-QNPs. Alternatively, non-QNPs should be gradually replaced by QNPs.
