Abstract

Aim: The aim of this study is to investigate the nurses' views on the nutritional assessment of patients.Methods: The research group consisted of nurses who were responsible for adult patients in internal medicine, surgical clinics, and intensive care units (General Surgery, Anesthesiology and Reanimation, Neurosurgery and Cardiovascular Surgery) in a university hospital (N:400). The sample of the study comprised 334 nurses who voluntarily agreed to participate in the research. In the collection of the research data, the questionnaire that improved based on the literature was used to determine nurses' opinions about assessment of nutrition. In analyzing the data, mean and percentile values were calculated.Results: It was found that the average age of nurses was 33.41 ±6.85, 35% of them had 5-10 years of professional experience, and 60.8% of them were working in internal clinics. 46.4% of the nurses stated that they had no idea about the incidence of malnutrition cases, 49.7% of them stated that primarily doctors focused on nutrition issues, and 39.2% of them stated nurses focused on nutrition issues. 37.4% of participating nurses stated that nutritional assessment was done by doctors, 23.6% of them stated by dietitians and 15.2% of them stated by nurses. Nurses stated that the obstacles in making effective and continuous nutritional assessment of patients were excessive workloads (87.7%) and lack of knowledge (41%).Conclusion: From the results, the nurses were not able to play an active role in nutritional assessment of patients, and it was found that the biggest cause for this was an excessive workload.

Özet

Amaç: Bu araştırmanın amacı, hemşirelerin hastalarda nutrisyon değerlendirmesine yönelik görüşlerinin incelenmesidir. Yöntem: Araştırmanın evrenini bir üniversite hastanesinde yetişkin hastalara hizmet veren dâhili, cerrahi klinikler ve yoğun bakım ünitelerinde (genel cerrahi, reanimasyon, beyin cerrahi ve kalp-damar cerrahi) çalışan hemşireler oluşturmuştur (N:400). Araştırmanın örneklemini ise araştırmaya katılmayı gönüllü olarak kabul eden 334 hemşire oluşturmuştur. Araştırma verilerinin toplanmasında hemşirelerin tanıtıcı bilgilerini içeren ve çalıştıkları kliniklerde yapılan nütrisyon değerlendirmesine yönelik olarak görüşlerini belirlemek amacıyla araştırmacılar tarafından geliştirilmiş anket formu kullanılmıştır. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde, ortalama ve yüzdelik değerler hesaplanmıştır.Bulgular: Araştırmaya katılan hemşirelerin yaş ortalamalarının 33.41±6.85 olduğu, %35'inin mesleki tecrübe yılının 5-10 yıl arasında olduğu ve %60.8'inin dâhili kliniklerde çalıştığı saptanmıştır. Hemşirelerin %46.4'ü çalıştıkları kliniklerde malnütrisyon görülme durumuna ilişkin Ş krinin olmadığını, %49.7'si çalıştıkları kliniklerde nütrisyon sorunları üzerinde öncelikli olarak hekimlerin, %39.2'si hemşirelerin durduğunu belirtmişlerdir. Katılımcı hemşirelerin %37.4'ü nutrisyonel değerlendirmenin doktorlar tarafından, %23'ü diyetisyenler tarafından ve %15'i hemşireler tarafından yapıldığını belirtmiştir. Araştırmaya katılan hemşireler hastalarda etkin ve devamlı olarak nütrisyon değerlendirmesi yapmalarındaki en önemli engellerin iş yükü fazlalığı (%87.7) ve bilgi eksikliği (%41) olduğunu belirtmişlerdir. Sonuç: Araştırma sonucundan, hemşirelerin nütrisyon değerlendirmesinde etkin rol alamadıkları ve bunun en büyük nedeninin iş yükü fazlalığı olduğu bulunmuştur.
