Introduction

  • Nutrition is considered a massive unfinished agenda due to:
    • Global malnutrition rates (persistent hunger, simultaneously rising obesity)
    • Economic and social inequalities (access to nutritious food, education and awareness)
    • Inadequate policy frameworks (insufficient government support, coordination challenges)
    • Cultural and behavioral factors (cultural beliefs, behavior change)
    • Environmental influences (food systems, climate change)

What is the Nutrition Care Process (NCP)?

  • A systematic framework to guide high-quality, individualized nutrition care for individuals, families, or populations.
  • Uses the best available evidence, considering client needs and values.
  • Created by the American Dietetic Association (now Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics) in 2002.

What are the steps of the Nutrition Care Process (NCP)?

  • Nutrition assessment
  • Nutrition diagnosis
  • Nutrition intervention
  • Nutrition monitoring and evaluation

Steps of the Nutrition Care Process (NCP)

  • NCP doesn't mean all patients get the same care.
  • Practitioners customize care based on client needs and values.
  • Use of NCP leads to efficient and effective care, nutrition research, and greater recognition of nutrition and dietetics practitioners.
  • Steps are interconnected and cyclical; not sequential.

General Principles of Nutrition Intervention

  • Should consider conceptual framework
  • Should be evidence-based and cost-effective
  • Should integrate long-term and short-term interventions (lead to sustainability)
  • Should be multi-sectoral and consider nutrition-specific and nutrition-sensitive interventions
  • Interventions should be realistic, patient-approved, and time-sensitive.

Benefits of Nutritional Interventions

  • Decreases mortality and morbidity
  • Increases cognitive, motor, and socio-emotional development
  • Increases school performance and learning capacity
  • Decreases obesity and non-communicable diseases
  • Improves early childhood development
  • Reduces infectious disease burden and improves treatment adherence
