Evaluation of the dietitians adherence to nutrition support guidelines or protocols in Saudi hospitals and identifications of the barriers to compliance

This study identified several barriers and challenges to adherence to NS guidelines or protocols. To improve NS practices, strategic investments in the improvement of hospital infrastructure, the development of structured interprofessional communication frameworks, and the implementation of ongoing training programs are needed. Addressing these key areas will be essential for standardising and optimising the delivery of nutrition care in hospitals across Saudi Arabia.
