Nutrition knowledge, attitude and practice among primary care physicians in Taiwan
1Department of Nutrition and Health Science, Taipei Medical College, Taiwan, R.O.C.
Objective:
To investigate nutritional knowledge, attitude and practices among primary care physicians in the Taiwan area.
Method:
A closed-end questionnaire containing 26 knowledge questions, 12 attitude statements and 12 practice statements was mailed to physicians on the mailing list of the National Health Administration (NHA).
Results:
The data reported are based on the responses of 27% of the total 1210 primary care physicians in the Taiwan area. Physicians answered 59% of the total knowledge questions correctly, with a tendency to score higher on general knowledge than clinical nutrition. The majority of physicians tended to agree with the positive-attitude statements and disagree with the negative-attitude statements. The performance of physicians regarding personal practices was less than that for job-related practices.
Conclusions:
This nationwide survey of nutrition-related knowledge and practices demonstrates the need for nutrition education for physicians. The questionnaire may be a useful instrument for future educational strategies in Taiwan.
