Summary

Malnutrition is considered as a deficiency of energy, protein or other nutrients. Malnutrition is a big problem for surgical patients. Various physiological problems may occur in patients with inadequate or malnutrition, such as prolonged wound healing time, decreased muscle strength and deterioration in immune system functions. It is recommended to start oral nutrition in the early postoperative period. In cases where the oral route is not preferred, enteral and parenteral nutritional support should be provided to the patient continuously or intermittently. Failure to identify individuals at risk of malnutrition means delaying the nutritional support the patient needs. Close observations and evaluations made by nurses during the day can ensure early diagnosis of the patient at risk of malnutrition and receive the necessary nutritional support. In order for nurses to fulfill their duties regarding nutritional care, they must have sufficient knowledge and skills on the subject and perceive the importance of nutritional care for patients. "Care" forms the basis of nursing. The interaction between patient and nurse affects the process and quality of care. Care behaviors include some basic skills such as listening carefully to the patient by making eye contact, empathy, demonsrating professional knowledge and skills, taking responsibility for the patient, and being accessible. In order to increase the quality of nursing care given to patients, it is necessary to provide evidence-based care and ensure that the care given is compatible with the values and expectations of the patients. For these reasons, this study aimed to examine the effect of enteral and parenteral nutrition (EPN) training on the knowledge level and care behaviors of surgical nurses regarding nutritional care.

Conditions

  • Enteral Nutrition
  • Parenteral Nutrition
  • Nursing Care

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Assigned intervention

Enteral and parenteral nutrition training was given face to face, within 15-20 minutes, using oral presentation and written materials (brochures). The content of the "Enteral and Parenteral Nutrition Training Guide" prepared based on the literature was sent to ten experts in the field. and content validity was done. The training guide includes up-to-date information on topics such as enteral and parenteral nutrition indications and contraindications, evaluation of gastric residual volume, and nursing care in patients receiving enteral and parenteral nutrition.
