10 leaders with in-depth interviews at Phu Tho General Hospital to evaluate nutrition care
practices for patients of nurses and to identify associated factors. The results revealed
that 82% of nurses considered nutrition care was their duty and about 70% nurses used to
develop patient diets, especially for very sick patients. Nurses who had been trained on
nutrition care was 75.3% with regular supervision of leaders (95.3%), as well as regular
coordination with nutrition department staff (100%). Shortage of human resource, knowledge and workload influenced nurses' patient care activities. Patient nutritional care is important and nurses play the main role. Hospitals need to recruit suitable nurses, revise
