Abstract:
Objective:To explore the current status of nutrition impact symptoms in patients with liver cirrhosis and to explore its influencing factors.Methods:Convenience sampling was used to select liver cirrhosis inpatients from three ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals in Fuyang City, Anhui Province, from November 2022 to November 2023 for the study. General Information Questionnaire, Eating Symptoms Questionnaire (ESQ), Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS), and Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire (SCSQ) were used to investigate the participants. Binary Logistic regression was used to explore the factors that influence nutrition-impact symptoms in liver cirrhotic patients.Results:A total of 394 questionnaires were distributed, and 384 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 97.5%. Of the 384 patients with liver cirrhosis, 274 patients (71.4%) had at least one nutrition impact symptom, and 166 patients (43.2%) had at least one moderate-to-severe nutrition impact symptom. Patients' most common nutrition impact symptoms include dry mouth, altered taste, and bloating. Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that age, liver cirrhosis stage, total bilirubin, coping styles, and social support were the influencing factors of nutrition impact symptoms in patients with liver cirrhosis, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05) . Conclusions:The detection rate of nutrition impact symptoms in patients with liver cirrhosis is high. Healthcare professionals can alleviate moderate-to-severe nutrition impact symptoms by guiding patients to adopt positive coping styles and helping to improve social support.
