Summary

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.

BEHAVIORAL

Co-Designed Nutritional Training Program

The intervention is a co-designed nutritional training program for oncology nurses developed through stakeholder engagement, including patients and healthcare professionals. The program consists of a three-day workshop combining theoretical education and supervised clinical practice. The training focuses on symptom-based nutritional management for cancer patients, including dietary strategies for common treatment-related symptoms such as nausea, diarrhoea, constipation, and oral complications. Nurses are trained to use a structured checklist to guide nutritional assessment, identify patient needs, and provide tailored counselling. Following the training, nurses apply the acquired knowledge and skills during real patient interactions in routine clinical care, delivering individualized nutritional support based on patients' symptoms and conditions.
