Continuing education needs as perceived by dietetic practitioners.

E Vanderveen, R M Hubbard

    Journal of the American Dietetic Association
    |October 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    Dietitians need more professional knowledge, especially in nutritional care science and technical skills, rather than behavioral sciences. Findings can guide continuing education programs for dietitians.

    Area of Science:

    • Dietetics
    • Nutritional Science
    • Professional Development

    Background:

    • Assessing the educational needs of practicing dietitians is crucial for effective professional development.
    • Identifying knowledge and skill gaps informs the design of relevant continuing education programs.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify the educational needs of 232 dietitians in Ohio.
    • To determine specific areas of knowledge and skills requiring further professional development.

    Main Methods:

    • A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data from 232 dietitians.
    • The questionnaire covered three major knowledge areas: managerial science, nutritional care science, and behavioral, communicative, and socio-cultural science.
    • Respondents rated their perceived needs for knowledge and skills.

    Main Results:

    • Dietitians expressed a greater need for professional knowledge, particularly in nutritional care science, compared to behavioral, communicative, and socio-cultural sciences.
    • There was a higher demand for technical and human skills over conceptual abilities.
    • The need for foundational nutritional knowledge was generally perceived as greater than the need for its application.

    Conclusions:

    • The identified educational needs provide a basis for developing targeted continuing education programs for dietitians.
    • Continuing education should prioritize enhancing nutritional care knowledge and practical skills.
    • Future programs should address the specific skill and knowledge gaps identified by practitioners.
