目的调查参与研究和审计的营养师，并评估他们的理解和态度，对这些activity.Methods邮寄问卷调查的知识，态度和参与研究和审计的国家注册营养师执业的国家卫生服务（NHS）在英国。目前参与研究的受访者很少（15%），但更多（65%）目前参与审计。参与审计的人数随着职等和管理责任的增加而显著增加。最近获得资格的营养师更有可能相信他们的大学培训为他们进行研究做好了准备，但对进行审计不太有信心。审计经验使受访者对审计工作更有信心，并使他们更相信自己了解审计术语。高级别的营养师更有可能将审计视为他们角色的重要组成部分，而不是他们的初级同事。对“研究”和“审计”这两个术语的理解很差，尽管48%的受访者认为这两项活动之间存在联系。参与研究和审计的限制被identified.Conclusion目前的营养师参与研究和审计活动的水平福尔斯低于建议在BDA的（1997年a）国家专业标准的营养师执业医疗保健。本研究确定了影响营养师参与研究和审计的因素，对研究和审计的理解和态度，并建议增加他们参与这些活动的方法。
Aim To investigate the involvement of dietitians in research and audit and to assess their understanding of and attitudes towards these activities.Methods A postal questionnaire was used to investigate the knowledge, attitude towards and involvement in research and audit of State Registered Dietitians practising in the National Health Service (NHS) in the UK.Results A response rate of 64% was achieved. Few respondents (15%) were currently involved in research, although more (65%) were currently involved in audit. Involvement in audit rose significantly with increasing grade and managerial responsibility. Dietitians qualifying more recently were more likely to believe that their college training prepared them to undertake research, but felt less confident about undertaking audit. Experience of audit made respondents more confident about auditing their work and improved their belief that they understood audit terminology. Higher grade dietitians were more likely to see audit as an important part of their role than were their more junior colleagues. Understanding of the terms 'research' and 'audit' was poor, although 48% of respondents identified the link between the two activities. Perceived constraints to involvement in research and audit were identified.Conclusion The present level of involvement of dietitians in research and audit activities falls below that recommended in the BDA's (1997a) National Professional Standards for Dietitians Practising in Healthcare. This study identifies factors that influence dietitians' involvement in, understanding of and attitudes towards research and audit and recommends ways of increasing their involvement in these activities.
