Training to Enhance Understanding on Nutritional Assessment

All participants seriously participated and asked many questions.
FIDR started “Nutrition and Diet Management Project” in April in succession to “Hospital Diet Assistance Project” finished in March 2014.
One of the activities of this project is to assist National Pediatric Hospital (NPH) to bring in nutrition management to advance the monitoring and intervention of patients’ nutritive conditions. As the first step, the staff of NPH need to be able to carry out nutrition assessment on all the patients with accuracy.
We conducted training for nurses of each ward to deepen their understanding on nutritional assessment of patients last June. All of the nurses that represented each ward participated in the training actively asking questions and diligently working with a calculator throughout three hours of training. They learned how to measure the height and weight, to calculate BMI (body-mass index), and to read the assessment graphs.
Now the participants need to convey the knowledge they gained to other nurses of their wards and lead them as their model.
Aiming at improvement of nutritional status of many patients, we keep working with the nurses to establish nutritional management at NPH. We provide further support for them so that they can put the learnt knowledge into daily practices.
