| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study aimed to develop a ward nurses’dietary support scale, including physical, psychological, and social background factors in preparation for older adult patients’life after discharge.We conducted a cross-sectional study using a self-reported questionnaire. Scale items were created based on a conceptual analysis, and refined by a Delphi survey. In total, 696 nurses across 16 acute care hospitals in Japan were eligible to participate.
The exploratory factor analysis identified 20 items from three factors as follows: “Assessment for healthy eating behavior,” “Adjustment of the living environment, including family and caregiver, together with other professions,” and “Continual frailty assessment. We developed a ward nurses’dietary support scale, including physical, psychological, and social background factors in preparation for older adult patients’life after discharge.

本研究では、日本における高齢入院患者に対する病棟看護師の栄養管理や食支援に関する概念に着目し、学術的に新しく概念の定義を見出し、その概念を評価できる尺度を新たに開発した。本研究によって見出した概念をもとに、支援に関する介入方法の開発の促進に寄与し、その効果を本尺度で客観的に評価することが可能となり、栄養管理や食支援に関する研究が蓄積され、学術的発展に寄与しうる。
また、本尺度は、入院日数が短く、短期間でアセスメントや介入が求められる急性期病院において、病棟看護師が効率的に栄養管理および食支援の評価に使用することができ、栄養管理および食支援に関する実践能力の向上につながることが実践的意義である。
