Prácticas de enfermería en la gestión de la desnutrición pediátrica en un hospital del cantón Machala

Abstract

RESUMEN La malnutrición infantil es un problema global que afecta a niños de 0 a 5 años en diversas regiones. Esta condición se origina por una ingesta inadecuada de macronutrientes y micronutrientes esenciales, como vitaminas y minerales, fundamentales para el desarrollo físico y cognitivo en la infancia. El objetivo de esta investigación fue identificar las intervenciones del personal de enfermería en el tratamiento de la desnutrición en pacientes pediátricos en el Servicio de Pediatría de un hospital en el cantón Machala. La metodología empleada fue cuantitativa, descriptiva y de corte transversal. La muestra consistió en 8 licenciados en enfermería del Servicio de Pediatría del hospital, abarcando la totalidad de la población en el área. Los resultados revelaron que el 37,50% de los padres o cuidadores reciben educación continua sobre cuidado nutricional infantil, mientras que el 62,50% la recibe de manera ocasional. En el plan de cuidados, el 100% de los enfermeros coincidieron en la importancia de implementar un plan personalizado que incluya nutrición parenteral o enteral, administración de suplementos nutricionales y promoción de una alimentación adecuada. La educación sobre nutrición infantil para padres y cuidadores tiende a ser esporádica y desigual. Mejorar la consistencia y accesibilidad de esta educación puede optimizar el estado nutricional y el desarrollo de los menores. Asimismo, todos los profesionales de enfermería elaboran planes personalizados que abarcan nutrición parenteral y enteral, así como suplementos nutricionales, lo que destaca su compromiso con una recuperación efectiva y la mejora en la calidad de vida de los pacientes pediátricos. ABSTRACT Childhood malnutrition is a global problem affecting children from 0 to 5 years of age in various regions. This condition is caused by an inadequate intake of essential macronutrients and micronutrients, such as vitamins and minerals, which are essential for physical and cognitive development in childhood. The objective of this research was to identify the interventions of nursing staff in the treatment of malnutrition in pediatric patients in the Pediatric Service of a hospital in the Machala canton. The methodology used was quantitative, descriptive and cross-sectional. The sample consisted of 8 nursing graduates from the hospital's Pediatric Service, covering the entire population in the area. The results revealed that 37.50% of parents or caregivers receive ongoing education on child nutritional care, while 62.50% receive it occasionally. In the care plan, 100% of nurses agreed on the importance of implementing a personalized plan that includes parenteral or enteral nutrition, administration of nutritional supplements and promotion of adequate nutrition. Child nutrition education for parents and caregivers tends to be sporadic and uneven. Improving the consistency and accessibility of this education can optimize children's nutritional status and development. In addition, all nursing professionals develop personalized plans that cover parenteral and enteral nutrition, as well as nutritional supplements, which underscores their commitment to effective recovery and improved quality of life for pediatric patients.
