| Summary: | Background: Malnutrition is prevalent in developed countries, including in
Indonesia. This situation can be aggravated in hospital due to inadequate
care process. The standardized nutrition care process (SNCP) is a model
of nutrition care designed to affect any causes of nutrition problem and
give intervention in order to improve nutrient intake, nutrition status and
that brings effect to length of stay.
Objective: To identify the role of SNCP to nutrient intake, nutrition status
and length of stay of inpatients.
Method: The study was a quasi experiment that used one group pre test
post test design. Samples consisted of fifty one people at risk malnutrition
during preliminary study and got SNCP during hospitalization. Data were
analyzed related to test.
Result: 91,54% of energy intake and 118.07% of protein intake were
fulfilled during SNCP with significant increase (p<0.05) as much as
49.08% energy and 62.64% protein. That increased significantly (p<0.05)
with weight change & body mass index (BMI) at hospital discharge, as
much as 0.96% weight change & 0.99% BMI. The change of nutrition
status was not significantly associated with length of stay (p>0.05).
Conclusion: During SNCP, nutrition intake and nutrition status of could be
increased & was positive correlation, but the change of nutrition status not
associated with length of stay.
