Application effect of short-form mini-nutritional assessment on malnutrition evaluation of elderly patients with cardiovascular
2015
Objective
To evaluate the nutritional status of elderly patients with cardiovascular by short-form mini-nutritional assessment (MNA-SF), implement nursing interventions for malnourished patients, in order to reduce their risk of malnutrition and to improve their nutritional status.
Methods
The MNS-SF was used to evaluate the nutritional level of hospitalized patients, and mini-nutritional assessment (MNA) was utilized for malnutrition patients. The nursing interventions were implemented among malnutrition or malnutrition potential patients.
Results
Comparing before and after nursing interventions, the scores of MNA-SF and MNA had high uniformity (r=0.773, 0.805; P<0.01). After interventions, the scores of MNA-SF and MNA were (12.48±0.65) and (25.34±1.29) higher than the scores when admitted (t=12.377, 15.120; P<0.01). After nursing interventions, the leukomonocyte was (1.44±0.66)×109/L, red cell (3.90±0.52)×1012/L, hemoglobin (120.26±15.93)g/L, hematocrit (0.360±0.055), albumin (36.27±3.78)g/L, globin (29.92±7.44)g/L, which were all higher than those before interventions (t=2.529, 4.937, 5.726, 3.947, 5.547, 2.125; P<0.05); the patients′ blood lipid level was (3.93±0.90) mmol/L, TG (1.02±0.53) mmol/L, LDL-C (1.09±0.29) mmol/L and HDL-C (2.08±0.58) mmol/L better than those before interventions (t=2.875, 3.633, 3.557, 5.727; P<0.01).
Conclusions
The utilization of MNA-SF and MNA can simple, effective screen out malnutrition risk patients, and then the nursing interventions can reduce the risk of malnutrition in elderly patients with cardiovascular and improve the nutritional status of the patients.
