Abstract
This qualitative study evaluates registered dietitian nutritionists' (RDNs) use of evidence-based dietetic practices (EBDPs) by education level and years of experience. Interviews were conducted with bachelor's and master's-trained RDNs (n = 9). The following themes regarding EBDP were identified: (1) resources utilized, (2) personal utilization and perceptions, (3) barriers and areas for improvement, and (4) collaboration. It was noted that master's-trained RDNs were more knowledgeable regarding EBDP resources. While it was reported that EBDP had improved with experience, those further from their didactic training had less awareness of EBDP resources. Continuing education should aim to bridge this gap in knowledge among RDNs.
期刊介绍：
Topics in Clinical Nutrition (TICN) is a peer-reviewed, quarterly journal designed as a resource for the continuing education and clinical practice of dietitians and nutritionists. Each issue addresses topics of interest primarily to dietitians and nutritionists, students and interns in professional training programs and other health care personnel involved in the nutritional care of patients. Articles include translational research reports (work that applies new knowledge to practical effect), practice projects, evidence-based literature reviews, case studies and book reviews, and articles that highlight education theory and applied research which share the tools and techniques of nutrition and dietetics education.
