The relationship between the variables of knowledge (r=0,838), and skills (r=0,763) and the performance of nutrition personnel’s is significantly very strong. The relationship between perception of planning (r=0,675), perception of implementation (r=0,517) and the performance of nutrition personnel is significantly strong, while the relationship between perception of evaluation (r=0,462) and the performance of nutrition personnel’s is significantly weak.
