Abstract
Research and Development of an Innovative Nutrition Assessment Program for Patients at Bamrasnaradura Institute is a research and development project with the objectives 1) to analyze the problems and needs of developing a nutrition assessment program for patients at Bamrasnaradura Institute, 2) to develop a nutrition assessment program for patients at Bamrasnaradura Institute, and 3) to evaluate and transfer the use of the nutrition assessment program for patients at Bamrasnaradura Institute. The samples consisted of 22 persons involved. The research instruments included semi-structured interviews on the development of an innovative nutrition assessment programs for patients at Bamrasnaradura Institute, an evaluation form for the efficiency of an innovative nutrition assessment programs for patients at Bamrasnaradura Institute, and an evaluation form for satisfaction with innovative nutrition assessment programs for patients at Bamrasnaradura Institute. The data were analyzed by finding frequency, percentage, mean (), and standard deviation (SD). The results of the study found that:
1. The original nutritional assessment system had an inefficient working system. Data collection was in the form of documents. The data was rather scattered, making it difficult to search for data and at risk of data loss. Reporting the results of the evaluation was difficult. The data was not current and could result in errors in the results. In addition, it was a waste of resources such as paper, printer ink, etc. There was no system for tracking the results of the nutritional assessment. The problems were analyzed for the feasibility of the new system. It was an information system that adjusted its work from a document system to an electronic system so that those involved could use the program conveniently, work correctly and efficiently.
2. The efficiency of the innovative program for assessing the nutritional status of patients at the Bamrasnaradura Institute had a mean () of 4.67 and a standard deviation (SD) of 0.47, which was at the most level.
3. The results of the overall satisfaction assessment had a mean () of 4.82 and a standard deviation (SD) of 0.38, which was at the most satisfactory level.
