3.2. Nutritional knowledge
The correct-response rate for all the nutrition questions was 58.4%. For
dietary questions regarding diabetes, obesity, and CVD, the correctresponse
rates were 67.6%, 53.8%, and 57.7%, respectively (Table 2).
Thirteen out of 42 questionswere answered incorrectly bymore than 50%
of the nurses. The correct-response rates for nutritional knowledge were
higher among the nurses withmore experience (N11 years, pb0.05) and
those with a master's degree (pb0.05; Table 2). The level of knowledge
did not differ significantly among nurses working in different fields of
medicine (e.g., internal medicine, surgery, neurology, or others).
