Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was conducted to evaluate the attitudes of nurses toward the importance of nutritional assessment, their level of knowledge of nutritional care, and the nurse-perceived quality of nutritional care. Material and Methods: This descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted between 15 March 2019 and 30 June 2019 with 590 nurses working in a state and university hospital in the Afyonkarahisar province of Turkey. The data were collected using the Nurse Information Form and the Questionnaire for Evaluating the Importance of Nutritional Assessment, the Level of Nutritional Care Knowledge and the Perceived Quality of Care among Nurses. Results: The mean score was 23.41±2.85 for the nurses' attitudes toward the importance of nutritional assessment, 25.95±3.45 for the level of knowledge of nutritional care among nurses, and 33.70±5.51 for the nurse-perceived quality of nutritional care. According to CHAID analysis results, the most important variable affecting nurses' attitudes and perceived nutritional care quality scores was the clinic they work in (F = 12.307; F= 36.445; p <0.001 respectively) and their knowledge level scores were mostly affected by the education level variable (F= 9.257; p = 0.002). Conclusion: It was determined that nurses have a positive attitude toward the importance of nutritional assessment; however, they lack a sufficient level of knowledge in nutritional care, and do not evaluate the quality of care provided to patients at their clinics as sufficiently favorable. It is recommended that to improve the nurses' competence in nutritional care.

Özet

Giriş ve Amaç: Bu araştırma, hemşirelerin nütrisyonel değerlendirmenin önemine ilişkin tutumlarını, nütrisyonel bakıma ilişkin bilgi düzeylerini ve nütrisyonel bakım kalitesi algılarını değerlendirmek amacıyla yapıldı. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel tipteki bu araştırma 15 Mart 2019-30 Haziran 2019 tarihleri arasında Afyonkarahisar ilindeki bir devlet ve bir üniversite hastanesinde çalışan 590 hemşire ile yürütüldü. Verilerin toplanmasında Hemşire Bilgi Formu ve Hemşirelerde Nütrisyonel Değerlendirmenin Önemini, Nütrisyonel Bakıma İlişkin Bilgi Düzeyini ve Algılanan Nütrisyonel Bakım Kalitesini Değerlendirme Ölçeği kullanıldı. Bulgular: Hemşirelerin nütrisyonel değerlendirmenin önemine ilişkin tutum puan ortalaması 23.41±2.85, nütrisyonel bakıma yönelik bilgi düzeyi puan ortalaması 25.95±3.45, algılanan nütrisyonel bakım kalitesi puan ortalaması 33.70±5.51 olarak bulundu. CHAID analizi sonuçları; hemşirelerin tutum ve algılanan nütrisyonel bakım kalitesi puanları üzerinde etkili olan en önemli değişkenin çalıştıkları klinik olduğunu (sırasıyla; F= 12.307; F= 36.445; p<0.001), bilgi düzeyleri puanlarının ise en çok eğitim düzeyi değişkeninden etkilendiğini gösterdi (F= 9.257; p=0.002). Sonuç: Araştırmadan elde edilen bulgulara göre; hemşirelerin, nütrisyonel değerlendirmenin önemine ilişkin olumlu bir tutuma sahip oldukları, ancak nütrisyonel bakıma ilişkin bilgi düzeylerinin yeterli olmadığı ve kendi kliniklerinde hastalara sunulan nütrisyonel bakım kalitesini yeterince olumlu değerlendirmedikleri söylenebilir. Hemşirelerin nütrisyonel bakımdaki yetkinliklerinin geliştirilmesi önerilmektedir.
