Abstract

Malnutrition in older people is still an unsolved issue. Clinical nurses have a key role in malnutrition prevention. This study aims to describe the individual-level variables associated with self-efficacy in nutrition care for older adults among nurses. A cross-sectional descriptive observational study was performed involving nurses from four northern Italy hospitals. The self-efficacy scale for nursing nutrition care (SE-NNC) and Multiple linear regression (MLR) models were used, enrolling 305 nurses. The mean SE-NNC total score was 53.3 ± 19.7. Considering the three dimensions of the SE-NNC, mean scores were 45.9 ± 21.7 for boosting knowledge, 55.4 ± SD = 20.3 for assessment and evidence utilization, and 57.7 ± 21.1 for care delivery. To be a younger nurse, working in a chronic care setting, and being male were associated with a higher level of self-efficacy, both considering the SE-NNC total score and its dimensions. Working in acute care settings and being an older nurse was associated with lower nursing self-efficacy in nutrition care for older adults.

意大利护士中老年人营养护理自我效能感的个体水平变量:一项多中心横断面研究。

老年人营养不良仍是一个未解决的问题。临床护士在预防营养不良方面发挥着关键作用。本研究旨在探讨老年人护士营养护理自我效能感的个体变量。对意大利北部四家医院的护士进行了横断面描述性观察研究。采用护理营养护理自我效能感量表(SE-NNC)和多元线性回归(MLR)模型，共纳入305名护士。SE-NNC平均总分为53.3±19.7分。考虑SE-NNC的三个维度，知识提升的平均得分为45.9±21.7分，评估和证据利用的平均得分为55.4±SD = 20.3分，护理提供的平均得分为57.7±21.1分。考虑到SE-NNC总分及其维度，作为一名年轻的护士，在慢性护理环境中工作，以及男性与更高水平的自我效能感相关。在急症护理机构工作和作为一名老年护士与老年人营养护理自我效能感较低有关。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Nutrition in Gerontology and Geriatrics publishes original research studies that are directly relevant to clinical and community nutrition issues that affect older adults. Epidemiologic and community-based studies are suitable for JNE, as are well-controlled clinical trials of preventive and therapeutic nutritional interventions. The Journal of Nutrition in Gerontology and Geriatrics invites papers on a broad array of topics in the nutrition and aging field, including but not limited to studies of: preventive nutrition, nutritional interventions for chronic disease, aging effects on nutritional requirements, nutritional status and dietary intake behaviors, nutritional frailty and functional status, usefulness of supplements, programmatic interventions, transitions in care and long term care, and community nutrition issues.
