Mer än 25 % av äldre patienter lider av undernäring under sin sjukhusvistelse. Detta problem har varit känt i ett flertal år. Syftet med studien var att beskriva sjuksköterskors bedömning och hantering av undernutrition hos äldre patienter som vårdas på sjukhus. Metoden som valdes till studien var en kvalitativ enkätstudie och dess svar bearbetades genom en kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultaten presenterades i sju olika teman: Den kliniska blicken, Samlad bedömning, Bedömningshjälpmedel, Registrering av kostintag, Psykisk hälsa, Undersköterskans roll och Tidsbrist. Konklusionen är att sjuksköterskor har tillräcklig kunskap och hjälpmedel för att kunna bedöma ett adekvat nutritionsstatus på sina patienter. Det som dock hindrar dem är den ständiga tidsbristen som gör att nutritionsfrågor prioriteras lägre. Undersköterskorna tar ofta på sig ansvaret för nutritionsbedömningen. / In spite of the fact the situation has been well known for several years, more than 25 percent of elderly patients suffer from malnutrition during hospital care. The aim of this study was to describe the nurse's assessment of nutrition status among elderly patients treated in hospital. The chosen method was a qualitative questionnaire and by using a qualitative content analysis, the answers were processed. The results were presented in seven themes; The clinical eye, Resources, Raised assessment, Registration of food intake, Mental health, Assistant nurse´s role and Lack of time. Our conclusion is that nurses have enough knowledge and aid to appraise an adequate nutrition status on their patients, but is prevented by constant lack of time resulting in nutrition questions being lower prioritized. Instead, the assistant nurse takes more responsibility for the nutrition assessment.

Neste estudo, são abordados dois fatores que julgamos fundamentais: a postura corporal e a nutrição. Um representa o equilíbrio corporal entre as forças internas e externas, tendo em vista serem estruturas que se juntam, o outro, representa nossa vida, já que o organismo humano consome energia proveniente da alimentação, tanto para suas tarefas fisiológicas diárias quanto para desencadear o processo de crescimento, constituindo assim requisitos importantes para uma vida saudável. Entendendo isto, este trabalho teve como objetivo estudar a postura corporal e aspectos nutricionais em escolares de ambos os sexos de 5a. à 8a. séries do ensino fundamental da rede pública. Foi utilizado um protocolo de avaliação desenvolvido especialmente para o estudo, com vistas a obter o perfil desses escolares referente às rotinas e hábitos posturais. Foram realizadas medidas antropométricas e dobras cutâneas sendo os dados tabulados. Para detectar os problemas posturais (desvios e assimetrias) foi realizada Avaliação Postural Computadorizada utilizando o Software Análise Postural desenvolvido pela Micromed versão 3.0. Os dados foram tabulados estatisticamente de acordo com o Teste Statística versão 5.0. Os resultados obtidos mostraram que a desnutrição, assim como a obesidade devido à má alimentação associa-se aos problemas posturais e, caso não sejam tratados em tempo hábil, perdurarão na vida toda destes escolares / Abstract: For the human being to have a good life, it is necessary a good health and for this to happen we depend on bio-psycho-social factors. This study approaches two factors, which are believed to be fundamental: the body posture and nutrition. One represents the balance of the body between the internal and external forces, having in mind that those are joint structures, the other, represents our lives, because the human body uses energy from feeding for its physiological tasks as well as for triggering the process of growing up, forming important requirements for a healthy life. The aim of this work is to study of the body posture and its nutritional aspects of the students, males and females, from the 5th to 8th grades of public schools. Accurate studies made it necessary to develop a specific evaluation protocol in order to get the student's profile regarding their routine and posture habits. Anthropometrics measures and skinfold thickness were used according to the world Health Organization's classification ¿ OMS (1997) classification. In order to detect posture problems, such as deviations and asymmetries it was used the computerized posture evaluation through the Micromed Software version 3.0. The data was statistically set according to the student's T Test 5.0. The results pointed out that high index of malnutrition, as well as obesity, related to poor feeding and heavy work were associated to posture problems, and if these problems were not treated soon enough they will last for all these students' lifetime / Mestrado / Ciencia do Desporto / Mestre em Educação Física
