“…These studies suggest varied perceptions of knowledge of different areas which is similar to the findings of this survey. However, it is important to recognise that this study explored confidence rather than perceptions, providing a deeper insight into dietitians self‐perceived capacity to apply or conduct the knowledge and skill area 32 . Thus, this survey provides the first insight into dietitians' confidence in their knowledge and skills working with older adults.…”

AimThis study aimed to describe dietitians' confidence in their knowledge and skills working with older adults in residential aged care facilities or home care services.MethodsA novel, quantitative online survey was distributed to aged care dietitians. Activities, knowledge, and skills areas outlined by the Dietitians Australia ‘Older Persons and Aged Care Dietitian Role Statement’ were included in the 23‐item survey. Likert scales captured participant responses. Median responses (n, %) are presented. Associations between participants' confidence in their knowledge and skills and years of experience working in aged care were explored using Pearson's chi‐squared tests.ResultsDietitians completed the survey (N = 125; age: 40 ± 13 years [mean ± SD]; 97.6% female). Dietitians reported they “always” worked collaboratively (n = 65%, 52%) and ‘often’ prescribed supplements (n = 52%, 41.6%) and utilised a food‐first approach (n = 36%, 28.8%). Dietitians ‘sometimes’ conducted malnutrition screening (n = 28%, 22.4%), audits (n = 36%, 28.8%), nutrition education (n = 53%, 42.4%) and quality improvement activities (n = 28%, 22.4%). Dietitians ‘rarely’ utilised food service/standards (n = 38%, 30.4%) and nutrition/hydration procedures (n = 35%, 28.0%). Dietitians with ≥6 years of experience were more confident than dietitians with 0–5 years in providing support programs (p = 0.003), utilising healthcare policies (p = 0.013), interpreting quality assessment (p = 0.014) and communication skills (p = 0.047). Dietitians felt ‘completely’ or ‘fairly’ confident in all knowledge and skill areas, except for government and community support programs (n = 38%, 30.4%) rated ‘somewhat’ confident.ConclusionAged care dietitians are confident in most aspects of their role but have opportunities to be better supported. Developing the confidence of higher‐level systems and communication in early career dietitians is warranted.

“…As defined by Shrauger et al (1995) cited by Uglanova (2014), self-confidence refers to "people's sense of competence and skill, their perceived capability to deal efficiently with different situations". Confidence helps a person feel better about himself and gets energized and motivated to take action.…”

It is a general objective of an educational institution to facilitate the needs of the students. Considering research to be a critical component of postgraduate education, this qualitative inquiry sought to ascertain the benefits and difficulties associated with conducting research by postgraduate students. These elements have an effect on their contentment and motivation, which in turn has an effect on the success of the research program's efforts. Ten postgraduate students who had taken Thesis 1 and 2 courses at a private university in Northern Mindanao were chosen for the study via a purposive sample technique. Findings revealed that undertaking research enables researchers to grow personally and professionally. The majority of postgraduate students asserted that conducting research enabled them to discover new information and allowed them to solve problems. On the other hand, the students' challenges highlighted areas of the research process where student-researchers require further direction and assistance. Concerning the impacts of conducting research on an individual's physical, intellectual, social, and emotional well-being, the study discovered that research has a positive or negative effect on an individual's well-being, depending on how they deal with the experience. This study disclosed that research students must understand the value of effective time management and must learn to create and apply it when conducting research in order to work around time restrictions. Research programs may place a greater emphasis on guiding and aiding students with the formulation of research questions, the examination of literature, the collection and analysis of data, as these were perceived as difficult steps in the research process by student-researchers.
