Abstract

The purpose of this study was to compare differences in Nutrition Care Process (NCP) confidence and documentation quality across two different undergraduate student cohorts. This quasi-experimental trial was conducted with n = 29 total undergraduate dietetic students (2023 cohort), then compared with results from the previous years’ (2022) cohort (n = 43). NCP confidence was measured before and after students completed traditional case studies (time 1 and time 2) and after completing an ANDHII case study using an electronic and interactive NCP documentation platform (time 3) for each cohort, then compared between cohorts. Documentation quality was measured using a validated audit tool. In the 2023 cohort, confidence increased from time 1 to time 3 (p = 0.003). Comparison of the 2022 and 2023 cohorts found no significant difference in confidence scores. In the 2023 cohort, documentation quality was higher for the ANDHII (obesity) case study compared to the traditional (anemia) case study.
