Nutritional Risks Survey and Influencing Factors Analysis of Inpatients in a Three-A Mental Hospital in Fujian Province
Objective:To assess the nutritional risk of hospitalized patients with mental illness,and to explore the factors related to nutritional risk.Method:A total of 2,312 patients with mental illness who hospitalized in Xiamen Xianyue Hospital from March to June 2023 were selected as the research subjects.At admission,the nutritional status of patients was evaluated by detecting serum albumin(ALB)levels(normal value was 40-55 g/L),and the patients were divided into non-nutritional risk group and nutritional risk group.Using the hospital digital management platform,the basic demographic information and related clinical data of patients were systematically collected,and the factors affecting the nutritional risk of adult patients with mental illness were identified by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis.Result:Among 2,312 patients,470 cases(20.33%)had nutritional risk.There were statistically significant differences in the gender,age,education level,marital status,body mass index(BMI),nutritional risk screening 2002(NRS2002)score,mental illness types,and nurse's observation scale for inpatient evaluation(NOSIE)score between two groups(P<0.05).Further multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that gender,age,mental illness types,BMI,NRS2002 score and NOSIE score were the influencing factors of nutritional status in patients with mental illness(P<0.05).Conclusion:There is a high nutritional risk in hospitalized patients with mental illness,which is affected by many factors,including gender,age,BMI,NRS2002 score and NOSIE score.
