Abstract
- Background To explore the barriers and enablers experienced by nutrition and dietetic professionals in the implementation of the standardised Nutrition Care Process (NCP) across 10 different countries. NCP related beliefs, motivations and values were investigated and compared. Methods A validated online survey was disseminated to nutrition and dietetics professionals in 10 countries in the local language during 2017. Cross‐sectional associations and differences between countries were explored for level of implementation, barriers/enablers and attitudes/motivation among the respondents. Results Higher NCP implementation was associated with greater occurrence of enabling aspects, as well as fewer occurrences of barriers. The most common enabler was ‘recommendation by the national dietetic association’ (69%) and the most common barrier was ‘lack of time’ (39%). A longer experience of NCP use was associated with a more positive attitude towards all NCP aspects. Differences between countries were identified, regarding both the occurrence of barriers/enablers and attitudes/motivations. Conclusions Implementation efforts need to be tailored to country‐specific contexts when implementing a new standard of care framework among nutrition and dietetic professionals. Additional research is needed to further assess the management and workplace strategies to support the development of nutrition and dietetics professionals in multidisciplinary healthcare organisations.
