Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the dietary understanding and current practices of healthcare Professionals in management of patients with chronic renal conditions in selected hospitals in Swaziland.
Methodology: The study used a desktop literature review methodology (desk study). This required a thorough analysis of research on the dietary understanding and current practices of healthcare Professionals in management of patients with chronic renal conditions. The subject of the study underwent three phases of sorting in order to assess its suitability for further study.
Findings: The study concludes that dietary understanding among study participants was poor; though their attitude was positive, they failed to practice due to poor understanding.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: This study recommends that dieticians could write short, but regular segments for nursing journals or newsletters. This written material may be most useful if written in lay terms to enable nursing staff to use it directly with their patients, rather than needing to translate the information for the general public
