Adecuacion de la dieta intrahospitalaria segun recomendacion nutricional del adulto mayor hospitalizado

Languages : es
Pages : 66
Book Description
El proposito de este estudio es describir la adecuacion de la dieta que reciben los adultos mayores del Hospital Clinico de la Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile durante los meses de junio y julio de 1998. Se proyecta que en Chile para el ano 2000 el 7 por ciento de la poblacion sera mayor de 65 anos. Este hecho abre un nuevo desafio para la enfermera ya que la vigilancia continua del ambito nutricional le permitira evitar el eventual deterioro de este y su impacto en la morbimortalidad del adulto mayor. El presente estudio es de tipo descriptivo y de corte transversal, La muestra estuvo constituida por 45 adultos mayores hospitalizados. Para la recoleccion de datos se aplico una pauta elaborada por las autoras, obteniendose datos de la ficha clinica del paciente. Se consigno el tipo de regimen indicado para posteriormente evaluar la minuta que recibio el usuario ese dia, utilizando la tabla de composicion quimica de los alimentos chilenos. Los resultados reflejan que el 20 por ciento de la muestra presenta un estado nutricional disminuido y que el 100 por ciento de la poblacion estudiada recibe un aporte que no se relaciona con las recomendaciones para el adulto mayor. Entre los factores que se asocian significativamente al deficit nutricional se encuentra edad mayor de 75 anos y sexo masculino. Se sugiere realizar una evaluacion al sistema alimentario intrahospitalario mejorando la dieta, adecuandola a las necesidades del adulto mayor, realizando un monitoreo continuo a traves del control de ingesta incluido en el plan de enfermeria (AU).

Author: Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA)
Author: Bruno J. VellasPublisher: Karger Medical and Scientific Publishers
ISBN: 3805568037
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 202
Book Description
This book is the first of a new series which will present the proceedings of the newly established Nestlé Nutrition Workshop Series: Clinical & Performance Programme aimed at adult nutrition. Undernutrition is a common phenomenon in elderly people, and malnutrition reaches significant levels in those being in hospital, nursing homes or home care programs. Consequences of malnutrition often go unrecognised owing to the lack of specific validated instruments to assess nutritional status in frail elderly persons. The Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) provides a single, rapid assessment of nutritional status in the elderly of different degrees of independence, allowing the prevalence of protein-energy malnutrition to be determined and to evaluate the efficacy of nutritional intervention and strategies. Easy, quick and economical to perform, it enables staff to check the nutritional status of elderly people when they enter hospitals or institutions and to monitor changes occurring during their stay. Moreover, the MNA is predictive of the cost of care and length of stay in hospital. This publication will be of immense assistance to heads of geriatric teaching units, teachers in nutrition, clinicians general practitioners and dieticians, enabling them to better detect, recognise and start treatment of malnutrition in the elderly.

Disease-related malnutrition is a global public health problem.
