In Belize, patients rely on nurses for nutritional guidance on non-communicable diseases in the Caribbean. The objectives of this study were to quantify the therapeutic nutritional knowledge of 198 Belizean nurses using the Al-Shwaiyat questionnaire. The mean correct response rate for the therapeutic nutritional knowledge was suboptimal (53.30%±17.20). Nurses in the West region of the country had the highest mean knowledge scores on nutrition and diabetes 75.41±20.10, p=0.003; on nutrition and cardiovascular diseases 57.23±10.90, p=0.000; and in overall knowledge 62.34±9.76 p=0.000. Nurses without a diagnosis of diabetes had higher mean knowledge scores on a) nutrition and diabetes 63.86±26.07, p=0.001; b) nutrition and obesity questions 49.55±20.80, p=0.004; c) nutrition and cardiovascular disease 53.30±15.70, p=0.007 and d), overall mean 55.24±16.67, p=0.000. There is a need to address the low levels of knowledge of Belizean nurses.
