Abstract

Diseases of the liver, pancreas, and biliary tract are common diseases affecting the process of digestion and food absorption, causing malnutrition. This study aimed to determine the factors associated with nutritional status in preoperative patients with liver, pancreas, and biliary tract disease. Eighty-four (84) preoperative patients with liver, pancreas, and biliary tract diseases were the subjects of the study. Data were collected using a demographic data form, the Nutrition Alert Form (NAF), the Charlson Co-morbidity Index (CCI), a food consumption behavior questionnaire, a social support questionnaire, and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and the Pearson correlation coefficient.
The results showed that the sample group had the highest risk of malnutrition at 45.2%, followed by the group with malnutrition at 33.3%. In addition, co-morbidities and food consumption
behavior showed a significant positive correlation with nutritional status among preoperative patients with liver, pancreatic, and biliary tract diseases (r = .406, P<.01, r = .214, p<.05, respectively). The results of this study show that Patients with liver, pancreas, and biliary tract disease Most of them had nutritional status changes. Therefore, there should be a nutritional status assessment for all patients to promote nutritional status for those in preoperative conditions.
