Nutritional knowledge of a heart‐healthy diet among health care professionals and cardiac patients in Mauritius
Abstract
This article focuses on the assessment of the practical knowledge of cardiac patients and health care professionals of a heart‐healthy diet. Based on our findings, we proposed that cardiac patients in Mauritius should be referred to dieticians on a more routine basis if effective dietary change is to be successfully implemented. Our findings lend further support for the need of continuing education for health care professionals in the field of nutrition.
