Abstract

Introduction: With complexities among each individual’s health status and in today’s standards of demanding quality performance among public health professionals, it draws the importance to question upon what makes a nutritionist most competent to enter into the future workforce. The question of this literature review is to examine what articles are saying that should be required among entry-level nutritionists to be adequately prepared to enter the workforce.

Methods: Studies were collected through using a research database known as American Journal of Public Health. Inclusion criteria included the author having a professionally qualified nutritionist background, and whether the author mentioned any mental, intellectual, spiritual, physical, and/or social health required among entry-level nutritionists.

Results: Most studies explain nutritionists need the ability to communicate dietary counseling, be empathetic, be able to provide nutritional care plans, while doing so in a way of which the public can understand the information. Other considerably important studies explain students and nutritionists need opportunities to specialize in their aspects of education, and the need for extension courses in order to keep up with the new volume of scientific information related to their fields and to the public health.

Discussion: Students, nutritionists, and researchers can be interested in this particular topic because it helps one know what other professionals have been observing in the past 70 years of what is considered to be most vital for entry-level nutritionists. In order to change people’s behavior in the community, the most common suggestion among the ten articles is the need for better communication efforts from nutritionists.

Conclusion: One can do further research on what education is being currently implemented to improve students’ nutrition communication skills, as well as examine which classes could help student nutritionists understand behavior change, in order to help them become more adequately prepared for today’s setting. Through proper training of more education in communication, nutritionists should be able to help the public improve in changing their behavior and dietary habits.

New Topic

New Topic: Nutritionist

Original topic choices were not as good as the one I just discovered... 

In further investigation, I typed in the topic nutrition. 

And noticed there are a lot of articles relating to the topic and public health. 

In more I depth, I decided to specifically focus on nutritionist. 

A nutritionist is a person who studies or is an expert at nutrition.

My research topic will be on nutritionists, and my soon developing question is going to be about what majority of research have to say about nutritionists. 

And to perhaps narrow in more on what I am going to be specifically looking for, I will look to see if nutritionists are maintaining sufficient standards and professionalism in their careers.

An article I found that I would like to use as my main source is called,

"Identification and Evaluation of Competencies of Public Health Nutritionists" 

Author: Laura S. Sims, PHD, MPH

Citation: 

Sims, L. S. (1979). Identification and evaluation of competencies of public health nutritionists. American Journal of Public Health, 69(11) 1099-1105. doi:10.2105/AJPH.69.11.1099

Shows where I started

What the article is about

What they measured in the competency test

In 1979 no systematic study to test for competent nutritionists

Why I chose this article: 

I chose this article because it relates to my topic, has public health in the title, is from AJPH, and corresponds to my developing question. I found the article interesting because it explains the measurements of how they examined entry-level nutritionists, which is what I would like to focus on in this research project.  

Summary of the article:

The study conducted examined behavioral factors that would contribute to an "entry-level" nutritionist. Since nutritionists have a variety of roles, there are a diverse sets of skills and knowledge that is required. Among the numerous characteristics a nutritionists should obtain, the study discovered communication skills, patient/client counseling, and interpretation of scientific materials were rates as most critical in the workforce.

Topic decision

Topics I chose to consider included:

 Climate Change, Postpartum Depression, Fish Oil,Caffeine, Gun Violence, Prescription Drugs

 

I chose this screenshot because I wanted to show how I decided upon choosing my topic. After researching articles that had public health in the title and was about climate change, I discovered there are many options to choose from.




This is a screenshot I chose to use because it shows my process of me reading through the text and looking at key terms.

 

 I also considered my topic to be gun control but kept doing research to compare what the option was to choose from.

 

Then I looked at postpartum, caffeine, fish oil and found little research. I then typed in prescription drugs and found this topic to have a lot of options. I browsed through the article "Overdose Epidemic, Prescription Monitoring Programs, and Public Health: A Review of State Laws" by Davis, Corey S; Johnston, Jull E; Pierce, Mattheww W from American Journal of Public Health written in Nov 2015. The subject's key terms from the article I selected include drug overdose, patient safety, research, prevention, public health, law enforcement, narcotics, health promotion, state laws, and prescription drugs.

 

 And then I looked for related articles about the subject matter in the search requests. This topic appears to be popular. The articles APA citation is: Davis, C. S., Johnston, J. E., & Pierce, M. W. (2015). Overdose epidemic, prescription monitoring programs, and public health: A review of state laws. American Journal of Public Health, 105(11), E9-E11. Retrieved from http://unr.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://search.proquest.com/docview/1723083942?accountid=452 The article's summary is about prescriptio monitoring programs and state-level databases are collecting patient-specific prescripiton information at the time medications are dispensed which have been considered a suggestion tool to address the overdose epidemic. I then researched overdose, and overdoes epidemic.

 

I noticed overdose epidemic is well written about and there are a few options to choose from. I selected the article "Critical Opportunities for Public Health Law: A Call for Action" written by Mello, Michelle M, Wood, Jennifer, Burris, Scott, JD; Wagenaar, Alexander C, Ibrahim, Jennifer K. The APA citation is: Mello, Michelle M, JD,PhD., M.Phil, Wood, J., PhD., Burris, S., J.D., Wagenaar, A. C., PhD., Ibrahim, Jennifer K,PhD., M.P.H., & Swanson, Jeffrey W,PhD., M.A. (2013). Critical opportunities for public health law: A call for action. American Journal of Public Health, 103(11), 1979-1988. Retrieved from http://unr.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://search.proquest.com/docview/1448191019?accountid=452 The summary of the article is about The Centers for Disease Control advocates that failure to capture lawmaker's attention, information gaps, and opposition from industry, are what is effecting the powerful legal interventions from taking place. It discusses how it is plausibly amenable to change through law. These two articles correlate to my topic in such that there is a prescription problem and both articles discuss what action is taking place to prevent the epidemic.
