The purpose of this study was to develop a standardized job description for dietitians working in the public health
nutrition area. Work-oriented job analysis methodology was employed for the study purpose. Subjects of 38 dietitians
currently working at health centers in 2002 were recruited. Based on the focus group interview with 7 public health
nutritionists and 7 professors, information about task elements was collected. Questionnaires measuring work
performance and self-perception of importance of the selected task elements were administered. Reliability and validity
of this instrument were tested by Chronbach’s alpha and factor analysis. SAS PC package program was used for the
statistical analysis. The final developed job description for public health nutritionists included 5 duties, 20 tasks and
93 task elements. The results of this study can be summarized as follows; 1) 5 duty areas are A. plan and evaluation
of public health nutrition services, B. developing nutrition education materials, C. implementing nutrition services, D.
networking community, and E. self development. 2) Each duty area from A to E was composed with 6, 2, 6, 4, 2
tasks, respectively. 3) Each duty area from A to E was composed with 24, 8, 38, 14, 9, and 2 task elements,
