Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This study evaluates a co-designed nutritional training program for oncology nurses in Vietnam. The aim is to improve nurses' knowledge, confidence, and clinical practice in providing nutritional support for patients with cancer experiencing treatment-related symptoms. The study used a single-group pre-post intervention design. Oncology nurses participated in a structured training program that included theoretical sessions and supervised clinical practice. After training, nurses delivered nutritional support to patients during routine care. The study assessed changes in nurses' knowledge, self-confidence, and practice performance before and after the intervention. In addition, the acceptability of the program was evaluated from both nurses and patients who received the nutritional support. This study provides preliminary evidence on the feasibility and potential effectiveness of a nurse-led nutritional training program and supports the integration of structured nutritional care into routine oncology practice.
