Objective This study aims to report the developmental processes and validation of Knowledge regarding diet & nutrition scale (Kuwaiti version).
Results A total of 173 (response rate= 86.93%) participants responded to the survey. There was a total of 92 (53.2%) nutritionists and 81(46.8%) doctors/surgeons. The Kuwaiti Diet and Nutrition Scale was found to have an acceptable validity and reliability. The first subscale named “Factual knowledge about nutrition” comprised of nine items. It yielded a Cronbach’s alpha value of 0.78. The second subscale “knowledge about nutrition in morbidities” comprised of seven items and yielded a Cronbach’s alpha value of 0.71. The third subscale “counselling of patients” comprised of 11 items and yielded a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.68. The fourth subscale comprising nine items yielded a Cronbach’s alpha value of 0.64 and was named, “Dietary programs and supplementation”.
