Development and content validation of a Greek electronic tool for the process for nutrition and dietetic practice (e-PNDP): a mixed-methods study in Cyprus.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Standardized documentation frameworks such as the Nutrition Care Process (NCP) and the Process for Nutrition and Dietetic Practice (PNDP) aim to improve consistency of clinical reasoning, transparency of decision-making, and patient-centered care in dietetics. However, implementation remains inconsistent and is often limited by time constraints, insufficient applied training, and inadequate integration within digital health systems. Methods: A sequential three-phase mixed-methods design was employed to develop and validate a Greek electronic PNDP tool (e-PNDP) for routine dietetic practice in Cyprus. In Phase 1, an exploratory national web-based survey was conducted among nutrition and dietetic professionals ( Results: Survey findings demonstrated high awareness of structured documentation frameworks but variability in sustained implementation, with time burden and challenges in nutrition diagnosis formulation identified as key barriers. Expert evaluation indicated strong content validity across tool modules (I-CVI range: 0.86-1.00; S-CVI/Ave = 0.92) and consistently high usability ratings for relevance, clarity, and simplicity. Qualitative feedback suggested minor refinements related to wording clarity, interface presentation, and inclusion of selected clinical fields, without requiring structural modifications to the PNDP framework. Conclusions: The electronic PNDP tool (e-PNDP) demonstrated strong content validity and usability, supporting its feasibility as a structured documentation solution within the Cypriot healthcare context. Integration within existing digital workflows and targeted training-particularly in nutrition diagnosis formulation-may enhance sustainable implementation and contribute to improved transparency and standardization of dietetic documentation.
