The Use of Nutritional Screening in Nursing Care
 KOPPOVÁ, Veronika
Nutritional screening is a simple tool for detecting the nutritional status of a patient and is primarily intended to detect the risk of malnutrition or to detect already developed malnutrition. Malnutrition is a pathological condition caused by a lack of nutrients or by their misalignment. This is an unpleasant nutritional complication that can cause other complications that result in a higher risk of mortality and morbidity, prolong treatment time and hence increase the cost of treating the patient. The advantage of nutritional screening is to monitor the nutritional status of the patient throughout hospitalization, because the patient's nutritional requirements may change. The concept of the bachelor thesis is theoretical - empirical. The theoretical part of the bachelor thesis describes the current state of nutrition, the evaluation of the patient's nutritional status in the hospital, the most serious complications of nutrition - malnutrition and nursing practice in the area of nutrition. The second part of the bachelor thesis is a research survey. The aim of the work was to find out how nurses use nutritional screening in practice. Three research questions have been identified to achieve the goal. How do nurses work with nutritional screening? At what time intervals nurses work with nutritional screening. How do nurses know about nutritional screening? Responses were obtained through a pre-prepared semi-structured interview with nurses in the after-care department. A post-natal care department was selected for the research investigation due to the hospitalization of the chronically ill, geriatric patients. This group of patients is one of the most risky for complications caused by insufficient nutrition. The research has revealed that nurses are not sufficiently aware of the items under consideration and the importance of nutritional screening, do not communicate with the nutritional therapist as it is, but they are interested in the nutritional status.
