Objective: This study compared the knowledge and perceived self-efficacy and collective efficacy to apply the Brazilian Dietary Guidelines (Dietary Guidelines) among nutritionists and other health professionals working in primary health care. Methods: The performance of 209 participants in a construct validation study of two scales was analyzed: GAB1 (knowledge) and GAB2 (self-efficacy and collective efficacy). Groups percentile ( 75) were generated and the differences between quantitative/qualitative variables and being a nutritionist were tested. Bivariate and multiple logistic regression models were used to investigate the explanatory variables of each construct. Results: Nutritionists had mean knowledge and perceived self-efficacy statistically higher than other professions. We observed association between being a nutritionist and high knowledge and perceived self-efficacy to apply the Dietary Guidelines. Being a nutritionist and having high perceived self-efficacy proved to be determinants of high knowledge about the Dietary Guidelines. Being a nutritionist and having high knowledge about the Dietary Guidelines showed to be determinants of high perceived self-efficacy. Nutritionists’ mean collective efficacy was not statistically different than other professions. No variable was found to be predictive of high collective efficacy. Discussion: To our knowledge, this is the first study to evaluate the readiness of health professionals to implement the Dietary Guidelines in Primary Healthcare, showing the urgent need of effective professional training to consolidate the nutritionist as technical reference for other professionals. Conclusions: Being a nutritionist was associated with higher knowledge and perceived self-efficacy to apply the Dietary Guidelines, but collective efficacy was not associated with the profession.
