Abstract

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the nutritional status of hospitalized patients according to Nutritional Risk Screening-2002 (NRS-2002) and to examine the effects of various variables on nutritional status.

Methods: The sample of the cross-sectional study consisted of 469 inpatients reached by simple random sampling method. Data was collected from hospitalized patients with a survey form using face-to-face interview method between January and March 2024. Personal information and hospital stay characteristics form, NRS-2002 form was used in the survey used to collect data.

Results: The average age of the patients included in the study was found to be 59.8±18.1 years. Of the patients, 51.4% were male and 48.6% were female. According to the total NRS-2002 score result, 410 (87.3%) of the patients were classified as no risk of malnutrition and 59 (12.6%) were classified as risk of malnutrition. No statistically significant difference was found between patients’ malnutrition risk and gender, education level, hospital diets, hospital clinics (p>0.05). However, a statistically significant difference was found between the malnutrition risk of the patients and their age, body mass index (BMI) and length of hospital stay (p<0.05).

Conclusion: Nutrition screening tools should be applied more frequently to these patients, especially since the risk of malnutrition is higher in patients who are elderly, have a long hospital stay, and have a low BMI.

Hastanede Yatan Hastaların Beslenme Durumunun (Nütrisyonel Risk Taraması-2002) Değerlendirilmesi ve Çeşitli Değişkenlerle Karşılaştırılması

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmada, hastanede yatan hastaların beslenme durumlarının Nütrisyonel Risk Taraması-2002 (NRS-2002)'ye göre değerlendirilmesi ve çeşitli değişkenlerin beslenme durumu üzerindeki etkilerinin incelenmesi amaçlandı.

Yöntem: Kesitsel tipte yapılan araştırmanın örneklemini basit tesadüfi örnekleme yöntemiyle ulaşılan 469 yatan hasta oluşturmuştur. Veriler, Ocak-Mart 2024 tarihleri arasında hastanede yatan hastalardan yüz yüze görüşme yöntemi kullanılarak anket ile toplandı. Verilerin toplanmasında kullanılan ankette kişisel bilgilervehastanede kalış özellikleri formu, NRS-2002 formu kullanıldı.

Bulgular: Çalışmaya alınan hastaların yaş ortalaması 59,8±18,1 yıl olarak bulundu. Hastaların %51,4'ü erkek, %48,6'sı kadındı. NRS-2002 skoru sonucuna göre hastaların 410'u (%87,3) malnütrisyon riski yok, 59'u (%12,6) malnütrisyon riskli olarak sınıflandırıldı. Hastaların malnütrisyon riski ile cinsiyet, eğitim düzeyi, hastane diyeti ve hastane klinikleri arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir farklılık bulunamadı (p>0,05). Ancak hastaların malnütrisyon riski ile yaş, beden kütle indeksi (BKİ) ve hastanede kalış süresi arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir farklılık bulundu (p<0,05).

Sonuç: Özellikle yaşlı, hastanede yatış süresi uzun ve BKİ düşük olan hastaların malnütrisyon riskinin daha yüksek olması nedeniyle bu hastalara beslenme tarama araçlarının daha sık uygulanması gerekmektedir.
