同一学部の看護師養成学科または管理栄養士養成学科に在籍する3、4年生192名を対象に、食生活の実態と医療における食事・栄養管理に対する考えや態度について、自記式アンケート調査を実施した。アンケート回収率は79.7％であった。結果から、栄養学生は看護学生に比べバランスの良い食事を摂っており、料理する頻度が高く、普段の食事で栄養バランスを意識していた。また、両学科とも3 年生より4 年生のほうが栄養バランスを意識していた。両学科共に病気の治療における食事・栄養管理や経口摂取の重要性を認識している学生が多かった。病気の治療における食事・栄養管理や経口摂取の重要性については、両学科の学生ともに認識し、互いの職種との連携が重要であると考える一方で、具体的場面を想定すると同職種だけで解決しようとする学生が少なくなかった。今後は、大学において他職種連携に向けた、より実践的な教育が行われることが望ましいと考えられた。

In this study, we surveyed the students majoring in nursing and human nutrition at the faculty of nursing and human nutrition on their consciousness toward dietary habit and their perspective to mutual job-cooperation. We distributed a questionnaire to 192 third- and fourth- year students, 153(79.7%) of whom answered. The obtained data show: the students of human nutrition major take meals of betterbalanced nutrition, cook more frequently and are more aware of the importance of nutritional balance compared to those of nursing major. Among them at both majors, fourth-year students tended to consider nutritional balance more important than the third-year students. Most students recognized the importance of controlling diet or nutrition as well as oral ingestion while treatments are being applied to patients. Regarding this point, many students considered mutual cooperation between their perspective professions crucial, i.e. nurses and administrative dietitians. Some of them, however, showed a tendency to seek for solutions against possible problems without any help or with the help of the same professionals. The self-assessed degree of knowledge of each other’s occupation was relatively low, whereas many of them hoped to learn more about it in the future. This implies that more practical education of interprofessional collaboration is desirable in university education.
