Nurses Learned Nutrition Education Method
nutrition education: for the purpose of promotion of people's health, to provide knowledge and information about nutrition to increase their awareness and encourage a change in behavior.
One of the FIDR project sites in Cambodia, National Pediatric Hospital (NPH) currently rations nutritionally balanced food for patients, and considers it is necessary for their parents to improve their understanding on nutrition to make sure that children continue to eat the balanced food even after they are discharged from the hospital.
FIDR held many discussions with the doctors and nurses of NPH about how to conduct nutrition education for patients’ parents. As a result, we decided that the nurses of inpatient ward instruct the parents on issues such as “balanced food” and “malnutrition and relevant diseases.”
In July, we started training for the head nurses of each ward to nourish their skills to perform instructor of nutrition. At the training, participants listened to a lecture by a Japanese nutrition specialist on the overview of nutrition education and watched a video about examples of failure in practice, followed by discussion among the participants to enhance their understanding.
At the end of the training, it appeared that participants became familiarized with the role of instructors. It will not be long before NPH provides nutrition education for patients on a daily basis.
