Successfully weaning patients from ventilators is strongly related to the nutritional status of patients. However, nutritional care guidelines for ventilated patients are not well established in Taiwan. The aim of this study was to develop clinical nutritional care guidelines according to evidence-based medicine. There were three stages in this study. At the first stage, we conducted a systematic review of 8 databases and 4 websites to search the relevant literature for clinical guidelines reported from 2001 to 2013. Eleven studies met our inclusion criteria and were used to draft clinical nutritional care guidelines for ventilated patients; the draft featured 45 items. At the second stage, we held focus group meetings after inviting 10 experts with substantial nursing experience in respiratory care and nutritionists to modify the drafted guidelines. At the third stage, we conducted a questionnaire survey to evaluate the feasibility of the clinical nursing care guidelines. The items were reduced to 34; 6 were related to nutritional nursing assessment, 18 were related to intervention, 5 were related to nursing evaluation, and 5 were related to care in the event of complications. The items were scored, and 33 were Grade A and 1 was Grade B. The results suggested that nutritional assessment capability and sensitivity of nurses can be improved by implementing in-service education. Strengthening skills to implement nutritional care measures can support the weaning of patients from ventilator and can enhance the quality of care. |
