Is there a need for mentorship in diabetes for dietitians? A cross-sectional study using a 28-question survey across the province of Quebec
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
Background: Dietitians in Quebec, Canada, who are active members of ODNQ (l’Ordre des diététistes- nutritionnistes du Québec) now have the rights to adjust antihyperglycemic agents and insulin for people living with diabetes (after completing an online training and exam). In response to the current diabetes increase need for care, dietitians have a key role to play. Mentorship in diabetes for dietitians might be an option to help build or solidify confidence levels, grow the profession and with the overall goal of helping more people living with diabetes. Mentorship for healthcare professionals is used to offer guidance, knowledge and experience transfer, advice, and counseling from a mentor to a mentee. The literature has shown mentorship to help build confidence levels, increase retention rates, job satisfaction and growth. However, mentorship for dietitians in Quebec is currently lacking. The primary objective of this study is to assess if there is a need among dietitians for mentorship in diabetes. The secondary objective is to gather insight and information on the structure and content for an appropriate mentorship program for dietitians. Methods: A 28-question online survey was developed, piloted with 7 dietitians through cognitive interviewing, and shared with dietitians across the province of Quebec with help from ODNQ. Descriptive analysis was used to determine the proportions (%) in survey responses, stratified by years of clinical experience. Results: From the 284 participants (97% women, mean age 41+/-10 years), 97% (275) identified a need for mentorship in diabetes. The desire to participate and in what function (mentee, mentor, or both) was dependent on the years of clinical experience of the dietitians who responded. Formal mentorship was preferred by 41% of the respondents, informal by 30% and 29% preferred a combination of both. Type of mentorship was independent of the years of clinical experience. The top diabetes topic identified for mentorship was antihyperglycemic agents: definitions, doses, adjustments, interactions, etc. Finally, 94% believed their confidence level in providing care for people living with diabetes would increase if they participated in mentorship. Conclusion: The need for mentorship specific to dietitians in Quebec was unknown. After analysis, there is a clear need for mentorship, and it has been identified to potentially help increase confidence levels, at the patient care level and inter-professional level irrespective of years of clinical experience. The goal of increasing dietitians' confidence, through mentorship, is to provide care for more people living with diabetes. The need for mentorship for other topics and conditions was also noted. As dietitians gain confidence and play active roles in providing care in their communities, this in turn has the potential to grow the profession of dietetics
