임상영양서비스에 대한 의료진의 인식 및 요구도 = Doctors` Perception and Needs on Clinical Nutrition Services in Hospitals

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the perception and needs of doctors on clinical nutrition services. A cross-sectional survey design was used. The doctors` perception and needs were assessed by questionnaires that had been specifically designed for the study. The research was conducted from February 14 to March 15, 2011 for 544 doctors at 42 large hospitals (with over 400 beds). Ninety-eight percent of doctors responded that clinical nutrition service was important. The mean scores of importance on clinical nutrition service were 4.45 for ``nutrition screening at admission``, 4.50 for ``treatment of malnutrition``, and 4.43 for ``nutrition education and counseling``. The mean scores of needs for clinical nutrition service were 4.42 for ``individual nutrition counseling & education`` 4.39 for ``nutrition management for malnourished patients`` and ``nutrition management for tube fed patients``. The medical specialists showed significantly (P＜0.01) higher scores than the residents on the importance and needs for clinical nutrition services. Eighty-five percent of the doctors recognized the necessity of the specialized dietitians classified by diseases. The medical specialists (93.8%) showed significantly (P＜0.01) higher recognition of this necessity than the residents (77.7%). The low residents` perceptions of the importance and needs for clinical nutrition services will necessitate clinical nutrition education plans. The departments of clinical nutrition in universities should improve the ability and skills of the clinical dietitians.
