Knowledge and determinants of plant-based diet adoption among healthcare providers in a Buddhist teaching hospital: a cross-sectional study
Despite frequent abnormal health check-up findings, adoption of plant-based diets and related knowledge were limited among nurses. This well-powered hospital-based study provides novel evidence from a Buddhist healthcare context and highlights the need for targeted nutrition education and supportive workplace strategies to strengthen nurses' health literacy and dietary counseling capacity.
