Learning Outcomes from a Virtual Nutrition Care Process Workshop Delivered to Nutrition and Dietetics Professionals in Mexico

Abstract

A virtual Nutrition Care Process (NCP) workshop was delivered to 11 nutrition professionals in Mexico. Knowledge was evaluated with an NCP pre-/posttest, focus groups were conducted to gain deeper understanding of the workshop experience, and patient notes (n = 79) were assessed for quality as a measure of NCP implementation. Mean knowledge scores increased after the workshop from 73.5% to 83.6% (P =.003). The focus group elucidated facilitators/barriers of NCP resources. Most patient notes were graded "low quality." Although the online delivery was a viable method to provide NCP education to a global audience, application of knowledge was not demonstrated, indicating the need for follow-up support.
