本研究旨在根据注册和未注册营养师未来的职业活动，为制定新的营养信息和教育计划提供基础资源。我们对参加二零零一年三月及六月举办的研究研讨会的160名注册及非注册营养师进行了调查，其中97.7%的受访者表示对互联网有兴趣。尽管90.1%的人拥有个人电脑，但根据埃弗雷特·m·罗杰斯（Everett M. Rogers）的评级，他们被归为落后者。受访者在互联网和电子邮件方面被划分为“后期多数”，在多媒体相关设备方面被划分为“早期多数”。在工作场所使用个人电脑的频率高达每100天70天。家庭中互联网的拥有率和使用频率都高于工作场所，这一结果与日本饮食协会信息委员会的报告相似。据报告，个人电脑经常用于工作场所的文书工作和食品服务管理。使用个人电脑进行营养咨询的比例为25.4%，使用互联网进行营养咨询的比例为3.6%。许多受访者表示，使用个人电脑的好处是“准确的文书处理能力”和“免于文书处理”。关于与使用个人电脑有关的问题，最常指出的答复是“输入数据需要时间和劳力”、“现有软件不足”和“除非所有人员都能使用，否则不方便”。在那些寻求营养软件的受访者中，大约40%的人要求这种软件易于使用。根据这些反应，虽然在营养师提供的服务中使用个人电脑的水平正在增加，但在营养服务工作场所引入多媒体设备的情况仍然不足。因此，我们相信，未来的未注册和国家注册营养师都有必要更多地参与到营养多媒体教育工具的开发中来，并且有必要通过更好的营养信息教育来开发利用这些工具的能力。
This study was conducted to obtain the fundamental resources for developing a new information and education program for nutrition based on the future occupational activities of registered and unregistered dietitians. A survey was conducted on 160 registered and unregistered dietitians who participated in research seminars held in March and June of 2001.97.7% of the respondents indicated that they were interested in the Internet. Although 90.1% owned a personal computer, they were classified as Laggards according to grading of Everett M. Rogers. The respondents were classified as being in the Late Majority with respect to the Internet and E-mail, and in the Early Majority with respect to multimedia-related equipment.The frequency of using a personal computer in the workplace was high at 70 days per 100 days. Both the ownership rate and usage frequency for the Internet were higher in the home than in the workplace, this result being similar to that in the report from the information committee of The Japan Dietetic Association.Personal computers were reported to be frequently used for clerical work and food-service management in the workplace. The rate at which nutrition counseling is performed by using a personal computer was 25.4%, and the rate at which it is performed by using the Internet was 3.6%. Many respondents indicated that the advantages of using a personal computer were “accurate clerical processing ability” and “freedom from clerical processing”. The most frequently indicated responses related to problems associated with the use of personal computers were “time and labor required for data entry”, “inadequate existing software” and “inconvenient unless they can be used by all personnel”.Approximately 40% of those respondents who sought nutrition software requested that such software be easy to use.On the basis of these responses, although the level of personal computer use in the services provided by dietitians is increasing, the introduction of multimedia equipment into the nutrition service workplace is still not adequate. It is therefore believed that it will be necessary for future unregistered and nationally registered dietitians to become more involved in the development of multimedia educational tools for nutrition, and that it is necessary to begin this by developing the ability to make use of such tools through better education on nutrition information.
