Abstract

Kvalitetna nutricionistička skrb pozitivno utječe na zdravlje hospitaliziranih bolesnika i zdravstveni sustav, a glavni joj je cilj prevencija malnutricije. Također ima važnu ulogu u oporavku od bolesti te je ključni dio njege bolesnika, a izbor bolničke dijete ovisi o dijagnozi. Zadovoljstvo bolničkim obrocima značajno utječe na unos hrane, pa je cilj rada bio istražiti zadovoljstvo hospitaliziranih bolesnika u KB Dubrava hranom koju dobivaju tijekom hospitalizacije i čimbenike koji na to utječu. Istraživanjem je obuhvaćen 51 ispitanik tijekom razdoblja od travnja do srpnja 2024. godine. Kvalitativnim i kvantitativnim metodama ispitano je zadovoljstvo prehranom, usklađenost dijete s dijagnozom i količina konzumirane hrane. Svi su ispitanici bili na odgovarajućoj dijeti, a čak 80 % ispitanika je bilo zadovoljno dobivenim obrocima. Muškarci su bili zadovoljniji od žena kada se promatra ukupno zadovoljstvo. Samo 30 % ispitanika razgovaralo je s nutricionistom, a ključno je da pacijent u bolnici bude educiran o prehrani i razumije svrhu dijete koja mu je dodijeljena.

Abstract (english)

Quality nutritional care positively impacts the health of hospitalized patients and the healthcare system, with its primary goal being the prevention of malnutrition. It also plays an important role in recovery from illness and is a key component of patient care, with the choice of hospital diet depending on the diagnosis. Patient satisfaction with hospital meals significantly affects food intake, so the aim of this study was to investigate the satisfaction of hospitalized patients at University Hospital Dubrava with the food provided during their stay and the factors influencing it. The study included 51 participants over the period from April to July 2024. Using qualitative and quantitative methods, satisfaction with meals, diet compliance with diagnosis, and the amount of food consumed were assessed. All participants received diets tailored to their medical needs, and 80 % reported satisfaction with the meals provided. Men were more satisfied than women when considering overall satisfaction. Only 30 % of participants consulted with a nutritionist, whereas it is crucial for hospitalized patients to be educated about nutrition and to understand the purpose of their prescribed diet.
