注册营养师评估,诊断和治疗营养问题。虽然是医疗保健不可或缺的一部分,他们在精神关怀中的作用是未知的。我们对营养和饮食实践中的精神需求和精神关怀进行了系统的回顾。主题词和关键词被用来搜索Medline,CINAHL,PsycINFO和AMED用于探索精神护理和营养或饮食实践的研究。从1433条记录中,共纳入13项研究。中等质量的证据表明,患有癌症的饮食患者的精神需求未得到满足,COPD,心力衰竭和糖尿病。来自不同种族的患者出现了未满足的需求,宗教和没有。然而,营养师仅在生命结束时参与有关营养和水合的精神护理。在饮食实践中整合精神筛查和签名是谨慎的,但需要临床试验来评估其有效性。
Registered dietitians assess, diagnose and treat nutritional problems. Although integral to healthcare, their role in spiritual care is unknown. We conducted a systematic
review of spiritual needs and spiritual care in nutrition and dietetic practice. Subject Headings and keywords were used to search Medline, CINAHL, PsycINFO and AMED for studies exploring spiritual care and nutrition or dietetic practice. From 1433 records, 13 studies were included. Medium quality evidence showed unmet spiritual needs among dietetic patients suffering from cancer, COPD, heart failure and diabetes. Unmet needs occurred in patients from a variety of ethnicities, religions and none. However, dietitians were only involved in spiritual care regarding nutrition and hydration at the end of life. Integrating spiritual screening and sign-posting within dietetic practice is prudent, but clinical trials are needed to evaluate its effectiveness.
