Nutrition education for nursing students: A scoping review

The findings from the scoping review emphasized that nutrition education activities should utilize active, experiential and social learning strategies. Moreover, findings suggest the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration when conducting nutrition education. Nursing education must give due attention to nutrition education, both on campus and in clinical placement, to adequately prepare students for nutritional care in professional practice. Nutrition instruction in nursing education could benefit from addressing nutritional care at both an individual and a systemic level, to support nursing students to cope with various challenges related to nutritional care in the patient setting.
