Results: The first hypothesis, ??the experimental group will experience a higher degree of nurses’ awareness about undernutrition management than the control group??, was supported(Z=-1.996, p=.046). The second hypothesis, ??the experimental group will benefit from improved nurses’ performance in undernutrition management than the control group??, was supported(Z=-1.985, p=.047). Conclusion.
