dc.description.abstract | Background: Nutrition is recognized as a strong factor influencing the health outcomes of
patients with chronic disease. General practitioners (GPs) require nutrition knowledge and
skills to support patients to have healthy dietary behaviours.
Objective: To investigate New Zealand GP registrars' provision of nutrition advice using
patient scenarios.
Study design: A cross-sectional study design targeted GP registrars to investigate the
nutrition care they provided to patients.
Methods: Fourty-seven GP registrars completed a survey at a training event. The survey
included patient scenarios. Respondents were asked to provide nutrition advice for each
scenario, in line with best practice guidelines. Responses to each scenario were scored
based on a panel of nutrition experts. Regression analysis was used to compare the scores
to participants' previously reported confidence to provide nutrition care.
Results: Seventeen male (36.2%) and thirty female (63.8%) GP registrars completed the
survey, giving a response rate of 92.2%. GP registrars scored a mean of 7.9 ± 0.2 out of 15 for
recall of dietary strategies with the scenarios. There was no association between GP registrars'
scenario scores and their confidence to provide nutrition care.
Conclusions: An evidence-practice gap exists for New Zealand GP registrars' confidence to
provide nutrition care, and their knowledge of evidence-based nutritional guidelines to
support patients to have healthy dietary behaviours. A better understanding of the determinants
of this disparity is required in order to support optimal nutrition care by GPs | |
