Brief Summary

Malnutrition is considered as a deficiency of energy, protein or other nutrients. Malnutrition is a big problem for surgical patients. Various physiological problems may occur in patients with inadequate or malnutrition, such as prolonged wound healing time, decreased muscle strength and deterioration in immune system functions. It is recommended to start oral nutrition in the early postoperative period. In cases where the oral route is not preferred, enteral and parenteral nutritional support should be provided to the patient continuously or intermittently. Failure to identify individuals at risk of malnutrition means delaying the nutritional support the patient needs. Close observations and evaluations made by nurses during the day can ensure early diagnosis of the patient at risk of malnutrition and receive the necessary nutritional support. In order for nurses to fulfill their duties regarding nutritional care, they must have sufficient knowledge and skills on the subject and perceive the importance of nutritional care for patients. "Care" forms the basis of nursing. The interaction between patient and nurse affects the process and quality of care. Care behaviors include some basic skills such as listening carefully to the patient by making eye contact, empathy, demonsrating professional knowledge and skills, taking responsibility for the patient, and being accessible. In order to increase the quality of nursing care given to patients, it is necessary to provide evidence-based care and ensure that the care given is compatible with the values and expectations of the patients. For these reasons, this study aimed to examine the effect of enteral and parenteral nutrition (EPN) training on the knowledge level and care behaviors of surgical nurses regarding nutritional care.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Knowledge Test on Enteral and Parenteral Nutritional Care

  The "Knowledge Test on Enteral and Parenteral Nutritional Care (EPNB)" developed by the researchers consists of 45 items with "True" and "False" options. The content validity of the knowledge test will be carried out by ten experts in the field. In the EPNB Knowledge Test, 1 point is given for each correctly answered statement in the data set, and 0 point is given for each incorrectly answered statement. A minimum of 0 points and a maximum of 45 points in total can be obtained from the "EPNB Information Form".

Study Arms (2)

Control Group

NO INTERVENTION

No intervention was made to the nurses in the control group (n = 35). In-service training is provided to nurses in this group in the clinic. After the study is completed, written material (brochure) was given to the nurses in the control group."Descriptive Survey Form" was applied at the beginning of the study. Other measurement tools, "Enteral and Parenteral Nutrition Care Knowledge Test" and "Care Behavior Scale-24 (BDI-24)" were applied three times as pre-test, post-test and follow-up test (three weeks later).

Nutrition education group

EXPERIMENTAL

It was planned to give "Enteral and Parenteral Nutrition Training" to the nurses in the experimental group, based on the literature. The content of the training guide was sent to ten experts in the field and content validity was made. Enteral and parenteral nutrition training was given face to face, in 15-20 minutes, using verbal presentation and written materials (brochures). "Descriptive Survey Form" was applied to the experimental group (n=35) at the beginning of the research. Other measurement tools, "Enteral and Parenteral Nutrition Care Knowledge Test" and "Care Behavior Scale-24 (BDI-24)" were administered three times: before the training, within one or two days of the training and three weeks after the training.

Behavioral: Assigned intervention

Interventions

Assigned intervention BEHAVIORAL

Enteral and parenteral nutrition training was given face to face, within 15-20 minutes, using oral presentation and written materials (brochures). The content of the "Enteral and Parenteral Nutrition Training Guide" prepared based on the literature was sent to ten experts in the field. and content validity was done. The training guide includes up-to-date information on topics such as enteral and parenteral nutrition indications and contraindications, evaluation of gastric residual volume, and nursing care in patients receiving enteral and parenteral nutrition.
