Nutrition is involved in taking in and utilization of food substances by which growth, repair and maintenance of the body are accomplished. The nurse plays a key role in patient care. She is often the closest professional to the patient, spending most of the time with him. The present study was conducted to assess the existing knowledge of nurses on nutrition along with some background characteristics. One hundred and twenty nurses from three government hospitals and three private hospitals of three different districts were administered a questionnaire comprising of questions related to nutrition.Findings revealed that half of the total respondents (50 %) belonged to younger age group (20- 30 years), 49.2 per cent had diploma in nursing and 49.1 per cent had 1-5 years of professional experience. Majority (91 %) of the respondents had medium level of mass media exposure. Around 61.7 per cent had medium level of nutritional knowledge. There was a need for increasing the nutritional knowledge of nurses, so proper training on nutrition education should be conducted frequently.Keywords

Nutritional knowledge and attitudes of medical functionaries from government and private hospitals in selected district of Assam, India was studied. About 90 per cent of practicing nurses had favorable attitudes toward nutrition. Age of the nurses exhibited positive influence towards the nutritional knowledge, while general educational qualification and mass media exposure had no significant correlation with the attitudes. Relationship between the nutritional knowledge of respondents with their opinion towards the need of their nutritional knowledge revealed that there was highly and positive significant correlation between nutritional knowledge of the respondents with their opinion towards the need of nutritional knowledge of nurses. Knowledgeable nurses had more positive attitudes toward their own role in nutrition education and toward the team approach to health care.Keywords
