Outline of Final Research Achievements

An outpatient survey was conducted to determine the dietary habits of patients with inflammatory bowel disease and their relationship with medical staff, and to obtain suggestions for the role of nurses in the management of long-term sustainable dietary habits for such patients.
The survey results indicated that patients had a good dietary intake status and that, on admission, many of the patients had been instructed by a dietitian to avoid a low residue diet and fat. There was a significant negative correlation between patients’ self-evaluation of their dietary intake status and the number of defecations. Moreover, self-evaluation of the dietary intake status of patients who had received dietary guidance was significantly higher.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

炎症性腸疾患患者が寛解維持に向け主体的に食生活管理できるよう指導していくことは，看護師の役割の一つである。食生活を患者の食生活に対する意識・主体的行動（食事摂取状況）・客観的状態の側面で多面的に捉え，特に患者の食生活に対する意識・主体的行動に影響する看護職者ならびに医療者の関わりの実態を明らかにすることは，従来型の画一的な指導にとどまらず，患者の食生活に対する意識，身体状態に適った具体的な食生活指導の検討に繋がることが期待できる。
