NCT ID NCT05691595
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This completed observational study surveyed 179 nurses in two Italian hospitals to explore how their attitudes, knowledge, and confidence influence the nutritional care they provide to older patients. Researchers used online questionnaires to measure these factors. The goal is to identify what drives good nutritional care and where improvements are needed to prevent malnutrition in older adults.

What this could lead to
If successful, this study could help design better training programs to improve nurses' nutritional care for older people, potentially reducing malnutrition in hospitals.
