老年抑郁症患者营养状况与生活护理干预策略的相关性研究

摘要

目的 针对老年抑郁症患者营养状况进行分析，并分析生活护理干预策略与患者营养状况的相关性。方法 以本院2024年2月至2025年5月老年抑郁症患者90例为对象，按照微型营养评价量表（MNA）对患者营养状态分析，并对比患者在生活护理干预前后营养状态变化情况。结果 结合分析，本组患者中36例存在营养风险，54例患者营养水平正常。结合对患者进行生活护理干预，护理后患者营养水平均提升，与护理前相比，P<0.05。相关性分析，老年抑郁症患者营养状况与生活护理干预保持正相关，R=0.883。结论 老年抑郁症患者存在营养风险，需及时结合患者特点开展各方面生活护理干预，提升患者营养健康水平。

Abstract

Objective To analyze the nutritional status of elderly patients with depression and the correlation between life care intervention strategies and patient nutritional status.
Methods A total of 90 elderly patients with depression in our hospital from February 2024 to May 2025 were selected as the subjects. The nutritional status of the patients was analyzed using the Mini Nutritional Assessment Scale (MNA), and the changes in nutritional status before and after life care interventions were compared.
Results Based on the analysis, 36 patients in this group had nutritional risks, while 54 patients had normal nutritional levels. Combined with life care interventions for patients, their nutritional levels improved after nursing, compared to before nursing, P<0.05. Correlation analysis shows that the nutritional status of elderly patients with depression is positively correlated with life care interventions, R=0.883.
Conclusion   Elderly patients with depression have nutritional risks, and it is necessary to timely carry out various life care interventions based on the characteristics of the patients to improve their nutritional and health levels.
