This study evaluated the perceived value of the board-certified specialist in renal nutrition credential and found that those who received reimbursement for their credential examination had higher perceived extrinsic value. The results of this research are of great significance for understanding the perspectives and recognition of healthcare professionals towards specialist certification.
Objective: Health care professionals who hold a specialist certification typically have a high perceived value of their credential. However, the perceived value of the board-certified specialist in renal nutrition (CSR) credential has not been studied. This study evaluated the perceived value of the CSR credential among registered dietitian nutritionists (RDNs) using the Perceived Value of Certification Tool (PVCT(C)) and explored differences in perceived values among those who did and did not receive reimbursement for taking the credentialing examination. Methods: A cross-sectional internet-based survey was sent to 553 RDNs who held the CSR credential. The survey included the 18item PVCT(C) including 12 intrinsic and 6 extrinsic value statements. Total, intrinsic, and extrinsic value scores and percent agreement were calculated. Value scores were compared using the Mann-Whitney U test to assess differences between those who received reimbursement and those who did not. Results: The response rate was 33.3% (n = 184). Twelve of 18 value statements had >80% agreement. The median PVCT(C) scores were 61.0 of 72.0 for total, 43.5 of 48.0 for intrinsic, and 18.0 of 24.0 for extrinsic values. Those who received reimbursement had significantly higher perceived extrinsic value scores than those who did not (P = .041). Intrinsic and total value scores were higher but not significantly different in those who received reimbursement. The statements with the highest percent agreement were validates specialized knowledge and provides evidence of professional commitment, and the lowest value statement was increases salary. Conclusions: RDNs have a high perceived value of the CSR credential. Those who received reimbursement for their credential examination had higher extrinsic value. Future research should explore the value of the CSR credential among RDNs without the CSR credential and among stakeholders.
