Abstract: Objective To study the effect of continuous nutrition nursing on improving the nutritional status and health level of elderly patients with liver disease. Methods 134 cases of elderly patients with liver disease who were discharged from the Department of gastroenterology of The First Affiliated Hospital,Jinan University from January 2018to June 2019were selected.They were randomly divided into 67 cases of control group and intervention group . The control group and family members were routinely given health education and telephone follow-up measures. The intervention group carried out continuous nutritional care on this basis and maintained a course of treatment for a total of 2 months. Patients were evaluated on the day of discharge, the first month and the second month of discharge using the micro-nutritional assessment scale, and on the day of discharge and the second month using the health literacy level scale. Results The nutritional status and health literacy of the two groups had no statistical significance before intervention. In the first and second months after discharge from hospital, the nutritional status of the intervention group was higher than the control group(P< 0.05). Two months after discharge from hospital, the level of health literacy in the intervention group was significantly higher than that in the control group(P< 0.05). Conclusion Continuous nutritional care can improve the health literacy level and nutritional status of elderly patients with liver disease.Abstract: Objective To study the effect of continuous nutrition nursing on improving the nutritional status and health level of elderly patients with liver disease.
