New South Wales public-hospital dietitians and how they feel about their workplace: An explorative study using a grounded theory approach

摘要

AimThe hospital environment as a workplace has undergone rapid changes over the last 50 years. Despite this, there has been very little research exploring how dietitians working in hospitals perceive their workplace. Moreover, previous studies in this area have focused predominantly on examining the North American experience of dietitians. Only a handful of previous studies have investigated the experiences of Australian dietitians at different stages of their careers. Therefore this study, in part, addresses a gap in the extant literature by examining how New South Wales (NSW) public-hospital dietitians perceive their workplace and its influence on their ability to function as healthcare professionals.
