Abstract
Malnutrition is a common pathology, often underdiagnosed, and is associated with numerous chronic diseases. Transversal clinical nutrition units (TCNU) are being implemented to improve the screening and management of malnutrition. The coordinating nurse plays a key role within a TCNU: organizing and coordinating personalized care pathways for malnourished patients, especially those with complex pathologies requiring multidisciplinary care. This article outlines the responsibilities of the coordinating nurse based on the experience of the TCNU established at the Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital (Assistance Publique-Hôpitaux de Paris).

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Our objective was to assess the effectiveness of a structured educational program on improving oncology nurses' knowledge, self-confidence, and self-efficacy in nutritional assessment and counseling for patients with cancer. METHODS A pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design was used. A sample of 60 nurses from oncology units participated as an experimental group (n = 30) and a control group (n = 30). The participants completed a knowledge test before completing the educational program. Self-confidence and self-efficacy also were assessed pre- and postintervention. RESULTS There was a significant difference between the experimental (mean [M] = 26.00, SD = 8.00) and control (M = 10.00, SD = 3.75) groups regarding knowledge after the interventional sessions (t = -16.00, P = 0.001). Furthermore, the results indicated a significant difference (t = -24.00, P = 0.001) between the experimental group (M = 60.50, SD = 13.10) and the control group (M = 36.50, SD = 7.60) regarding self- confidence in managing cancer patients. Finally, there was a significant difference between the experimental group (M = 33.50, SD = 3.10) and control group (M = 23.25, SD = 2.75) regarding self-efficacy (t = -10.25, P = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The educational program improved the oncology nurses' knowledge, self-confidence, and self-efficacy in relation to nutritional assessment and counseling. Improving nurses' competencies will improve the quality of care provided to the patients and patient health outcomes.

Abstract
The people who are treated in the community setting will often have multiple comorbidities. Systemic medical conditions can have a negative impact on oral health. In addition, the medications used to treat systemic conditions may also themselves cause oral symptoms. As a large proportion of patients treated by the community nursing team will be elderly, this paper will focus on common geriatric conditions that can display oral or dental symptoms. The effects of medications will be discussed and linked to oral complaints patients may express. The primary aims are to give a broad overview of the oral effects of ageing, of illness and of polypharmacy and advise on how these can be best managed by the nursing team.

Abstract
Malnutrition is a clinical and public health problem. It has adverse effects on the physical and psycho-social wellbeing of individuals by predisposing to disease, negatively affecting its outcome and reducing the likelihood of independence. An estimated 3 million people in the UK are affected by malnutrition, most of whom live in the community ( BAPEN, 2011 ). Despite the scale of this problem, it remains under-detected, under-treated, underresourced and often overlooked by those involved in the care of at risks individuals such as the elderly. In most cases malnutrition is a treatable condition that can be managed by optimising food intake and using oral nutritional supplements (ONS) where necessary. The main focus of this article is on the dangers of malnutrition for older people in the community and the use of ONS in the treatment and management of malnutrition.

Abstract
AIM Evaluate nurses' attitudes towards nutritional assistance in elderly hospitalized individuals, using the scale "The Staff Attitudes To Nutritional Geriatric Nursing Care Scale (SANN-G Scale)", recently validated in Italian. METHODS A descriptive survey was carried out, involving all head nurses and nurses of wards within University Hospital San Martino Hospital in Genoa and ASL3 Genovese Villa Scassi. A comparison was carried out using the Kruscall-Wallis test between wards, in order to determine whether there were significant differences in attitudes with respect to nutritional assistance. Results were compared between individuals who had follow a lecture on nutritional assistance and those who had not, using the test Mann Whitney. RESULTS 110 questionnaires were delivered of these 103 were filled in (94%). Only 26% of the sample shows to have a strong positive attitude with respect nutritional assitance in elderly people. No significant differences were found either between wards and the other or between those who nurse had lecturer and those who have not. CONCLUSIONS The study revealed a substantial negative attitude with respect to nutritional assitance and malnutrition in the elderly, confirming that aspects related to nutrition of the elderly are not properly taken into account in comparison to other nursing care activities. Our results are similar to those of the internationl literature. There is therefore a need also in Italy to increase awareness of professionals on these issues.

Abstract
Despite various campaigns and initiatives, and publication of numerous standards, malnutrition in healthcare settings often goes unrecognised and untreated. This negatively affects patients' experiences and outcomes, and has financial implications for the NHS. The British Association for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition has launched a new online tool that helps trusts measure the quality of the nutritional care they provide. This article describes the tool and explains its structure, how organisations and nurses can access and use it, and the benefits of implementing this resource as a routine part of clinical care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The international literature shows that there are considerable deficits in nutritional care provision in nursing homes. Limited knowledge and negative attitudes can contribute to these deficits but international studies on knowledge and attitudes among nursing staff are rare. OBJECTIVE The study aimed to assess the knowledge and attitudes of registered nurses and nurse aides towards malnutrition care in nursing homes. DESIGN This study followed a multicentre, cross sectional design. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS The study was performed in 66 Austrian nursing homes with 1152 participants. MEASUREMENTS The validated Knowledge of Malnutrition-Geriatric (KoM-G) questionnaire and the Staff Attitudes to Nutritional Nursing Care Geriatric (SANN-G) scale were used for data collection. RESULTS On average, 60.6% of the respondents answered the questions correctly, whereas registered nurses knew significantly more (65.6%) than nurse aides (57.3%). The question that was answered correctly by most dealt with the factors that positively affect oral nutritional intake (87.2%) while the question which was incorrectly answered by most was on the professions involved in malnutrition treatment (26.1%). 39.2% of respondents had positive attitudes towards nutritional care. Registered nurses displayed more positive attitudes (48.1%) than nurse aides (33.6%). The most positive attitudes were shown in the 'Intervention' subscale while the least positive attitudes were indicated in the 'Norms' subscale. A medium positive correlation between knowledge and attitudes was found (r=.423, p<0.000). CONCLUSION This study identified specific knowledge deficits and areas of negative attitudes in registered nurses and nurse aides, which will enable tailored training programmes to be developed.

Abstract
Patients who become critically ill can have problems maintaining nutritional intake and it can be challenging for nurses to provide nutritional support. No one assessment method can identify each patient's risk of malnutrition, so nurses need to look at different aspects in their nutritional assessment and refer for specialist help from dietitians and nutrition support teams when needed. This article focuses on how severe physiological stress affects patients who are critically ill and impacts on their nutritional requirements. A nursing nutritional assessment is explored, as are nutritional support methods that may be used to manage these patients' nutritional needs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Malnutrition is a serious concern in hospitals and is known to be associated with increased complications for patients, increased hospital costs and length of stay. Trained volunteers that assist 'at risk' and malnourished patients at lunch meals have been shown to effectively increase nutritional intake in a suburban hospital in Sydney. The pilot study reported here aimed to evaluate and share learnings from a similar, newly implemented program, comparing energy and macronutrient intakes on days with no volunteer assistance, to days with volunteers. DESIGN Dietary intakes were determined by visual estimation of meal trays before and after meals, for two days without volunteers, and two days with volunteer assistance at lunch. Macronutrient and energy intakes were compared and data such as weight, height, diet type and medical history were obtained from medical records. Questionnaires were completed by nurses and volunteers in regards to their views and experiences with the program. SETTING Hospital based. RESULTS Eight patients (83±4.5 years) participated in the study. When volunteers were present at lunch, the average macronutrient and energy intakes increased, though not statistically significantly. The mean increases were 316 kJ (p=0.175) for energy, 3.1 g (p=0.468) for protein, 1.4 g (p=0.418) for fat and 11.6 g (p=0.084) for carbohydrates. Non-significant increases in macronutrients were also noted for the average daily intakes. CONCLUSION Although not statistically significant, energy and macronutrient intakes increased when volunteers were present. The implementation of a volunteer feeding assistance program is one strategy to assist dietary intakes but requires a ready team of volunteers, training, acceptance and significant time to develop.

Abstract
Malnutrition in elderly people is associated with many adverse clinical outcomes. However, few studies exist investigating malnutrition in the community setting. This study aimed to report the prevalence of malnutrition in elderly people living in warden-assisted (WA) accommodation compared with those living at home. A total of 20 WA and 20 home-living (HL) participants were assessed using hand-grip strength and the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA). Some 30% of the WA group were malnourished, compared with 10% of the HL group. This study demonstrates an alarmingly large proportion of individuals in WA accommodation to be either malnourished or at risk of malnutrition. This is a relatively small study, and further research into the key factors influencing malnutrition and interventions to minimise malnutrition with WA accommodation are clearly warranted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Malnutrition remains prevalent in critically ill adults and is associated with poor outcomes and increased cost of hospitalization. AIM To (a) determine whether implementation of a nutrition support protocol improves delivery of nutrients in critically ill patients, and (b) evaluate whether patients receiving nutrition support based on a protocol have better outcomes than those who do not. METHODS CINHAL and PUBMED databases were searched utilizing keywords "model," "nutrition," intensive care," "algorithm," "critical care," "protocol," and "feeding guidelines." Selection criteria included original studies published in English with publication date between January 1, 2005, and December 31, 2010; a critically ill adult population; and level 1 or 2 studies. Studies were collected and reviewed by a single reviewer. Data extraction and quality assessment were assured utilizing a standardized form. A narrative description of results was provided due to variability in methods and outcome measures of included studies. RESULTS Ninety-nine studies emerged and 22 studies were considered for inclusion. Four studies were selected. Use of a nutrition support protocol was found to lead to increased efficacy in the delivery of nutrients via the enteral route. LINKING EVIDENCE TO ACTION The use of a nutrition support protocol appears to increase the efficacy of enteral nutrition delivery. Further research is needed to determine the effect of increased enteral nutrition adequacy on patient outcomes. The use of an evidenced-based protocol is recommended to improve protein and energy delivery in the critically ill.

Abstract
Malnutrition in the UK is estimated to affect 3 million people in the UK, costing the economy pound 13 billion a year. The effects can adversely affect an individual's wellbeing by exacerbating illness or reducing the prospect of a speedy recovery. The early identification of this actual or potential risk is recognised by using a validated nutritional screening tool as part of the patient assessment. Where risks are identified a structured plan should be put in place utilising oral and enteral techniques in nutritional support. However, for a number of patients these routes of feeding may not be an option, or may not fully meet the patient's nutritional requirements. It is in these circumstances that parenteral feeding may be considered under the supervision of a nutrition team. The careful selection of the parenteral solution alongside the most appropriate venous device to deliver the nutrition can assist in the effectiveness of this treatment and help in reducing the potential complications associated with this route.
