The proposed case will discuss irritable bowel syndrome. Individualized medical nutrition therapy is critical in the disease management. In this case, the learner will be provided with details to conceptualize the case and will be able to conduct a comprehensive nutrition assessment to evaluate the nutritional status. After identifying and prioritizing nutrition problems, the learner will determine the nutrition diagnoses and write proper statements. Based on the collected data, the learner will develop a nutrition care plan with appropriate goals, interventions, and strategies for monitoring and evaluation. Unspecified-IBS encounter challenges with food as it triggers the symptoms. Thus, the learner will evaluate the nutrient composition of dietary history and provide a substitute considering individual tolerance and severity of the symptoms. In addition, FODMAP will be applied. It also teaches patients what foods or eating patterns would be best (or best to avoid) for their day-to-day activities through self-awareness of symptoms and dietary food log.

Background: Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) is one of nutrition care models which focuses on integrated patient management involving active participation of doctors, nutritionists, nurses and other professions within the hospital nutrition care team. One benefit of MNT is the reducing of patients’ length of stay (LOS) as an indicator of hospital service quality. Bekasi Municipal Hospital has not implemented integrated nutrition care within a team. The result of monitoring and evaluation during the frst quarter of 2006 showed the average of LOS for degenerative diseases patients was 5.97 days.Objective: To identify the influence of nutrition care implementation by using MNT approach to LOS at Bekasi Municipal Hospital.Method: The study was quaci-experimental which uses static-group comparison. Samples were patients hospitalized at internal medicine wards of (class) VIP, 1 , 2  and 3  class. Datas were obtained consisted of conventional nutrition standard care (CNC), MNT, and data of LOS. T-test and Mann Whitney statistical test were used to analyze the influence of types of nutrition care to LOS.Results: LOS of patients with MNT care was 5.80 days. This was shorter than CNC and statistically significant (p<0.05).Conclusion: There was a difference between LOS of samples with MNT and CNC. LOS of samples with MNT was shorter than CNC and statistically significant (p<0.05).

ObjectivesMedical nutrition education aims to equip doctors with nutrition knowledge, skills, attitudes and confidence to counsel patients to improve their diet. This study aimed to describe changes in medical students’ self-perceived nutrition competence at three time points during medical training.DesignProspective longitudinal observational study.SettingThe University of Auckland, School of Medicine.ParticipantsYear 2 medical students (phase 1, preclinical) were surveyed in May 2016. Participants repeated the survey in February 2018 as Year 4 students and July 2019 (phase 2, clinical) as Year 5 students.Primary outcome measurePrimary outcome measure was self-perceived nutrition competence measured using the validated NUTrition Competence (NUTCOMP) survey.ResultsIn 2016, 102 of 279 eligible Year 2 medical students completed the survey (response rate (RR 36.7%)). In 2018, 89 Year 4 students repeated the survey (RR 87.3%) and 30 students as Year 5 students in 2019 (RR 29.41%). There was a significant increase in total NUTCOMP scores (knowledge, skills, confidence to counsel and attitude towards nutrition) between Year 2 and Year 4 (p=0.012). There was a significant increase in the confidence to counsel construct (mean difference 7.615, 95% CI 2.291 to 12.939, p=0.003) between Year 2 and Year 4. Constructs with lowest scores at all time points were nutrition knowledge and nutrition skills. There was clear desire for more nutrition education from all students: Year 2 (mean=3.8 out of 5 (1.1)), Year 4 (mean=3.9 out of 5 (0.9)), Year 5 (mean=3.8 out of 5 (0.8)).ConclusionMedical students’ self-perceived nutrition competence in providing nutrition care increased modestly at three points throughout medical training. There remains opportunity for further supporting medical students to increase their competence in nutrition care, which could be achieved through mandatory and greater medical nutrition education.

AbstractCases of chronic kidney disease (CKD), including CKD in pregnant women, have increased globally in recent years. CKD during pregnancy is associated with a higher risk of adverse outcomes, including gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, intrauterine growth restriction, and preterm birth, among others. Nutrition plays a significant role in many metabolic and physiological changes during pregnancy. Women with CKD are at increased risk of nutrition deficiencies and metabolic issues than women without CKD. Currently, we lack evidence regarding metabolic and nutritional adaptations during pregnancy in women with CKD and how these adaptations relate to perinatal outcomes. In this review, dietary and supplementation recommendations for CKD in adults and pregnant women are summarized from current clinical guidelines. We present the main nutrition care practices that have been studied in CKD pregnancies. This review will be helpful to health professionals as a preliminary reference for nutrition assessment and therapy in pregnant women with CKD.
