Nutrition education intervention for dependent patients: protocol of a randomized controlled trial Full Text
BMC Public Health, 06/08/2012
Arija V et al. – The nutritional status of dependent patients has been little studied. This study allows us to know nutritional risk from different points of view: diet, anthropometry and biochemistry in dependent patients at nutritional risk and to assess the effect of a nutritional education intervention. The design with random allocation, inclusion of all patients, validated methods, caregivers' education and standardization between nurses allows us to obtain valuable information about nutritional status and prevention.
