Effects of a nutritional management program using the nutrition management concept (Nutrition bundle) on nutritional outcomes in patients with sepsis: A pilot study
Keywords:
nutritional management, nutrition bundle, patients with sepsisAbstract
This pilot study was quasi-experimental research aimed at studying the effects of a nutritional management program using a Nutrition bundle on nutritional outcomes in 10 patients with sepsis, admitted to the Internal Medicine 2 Intensive Care Unit of Khon Kaen Hospital between August and December 2022. The study instruments consisted of a nutritional management program for patients with sepsis and a nutritional outcome evaluation form. Outcomes were measured twice: before receiving the program and at day 7 after the program completion. Data were analyzed using paired t-test.
The study findings showed that: 1) the means, of energy intake of the sample, before and after receiving the program differed statistically significantly (t=-6.24, p-value=.001); 2) the means of albumin levels of the sample before and after receiving the program were statistically different (t=-2.47, p-value=.035); and 3) means of protein intake of the sample before and after receiving the program were statistically different (t=-6.28, p-value=.001).
It can be concluded that the nutritional management program using the Nutrition bundle in patients with sepsis contributed to improve nutritional outcomes, including energy intakes, serum albumin levels, and serum protein intakes. Nursing implementation of the program and future research were recommended.
