摘要
A detailed survey questionnaire compiled by the executive committee of Patients on Intravenous and Nasogastric Nutrition Therapy (PINNT) was circulated in November 1991 to the postal addresses of all full (patient) members of PINNT in the UK. The objective of the survey was to identify current practices and problems of home nutrition support as seen from the patients perspective. 128 questionnaires were distributed. 87 (68%) analysable questionnaires were completed and returned. 77 were for parenteral nutrition (HPN) patients and 10 for patients on enteral nutrition (HEN). Areas of concern for patients include the practicalities of administration of lipid and additives, and problems associated with the appearance of air in infusion bags. Although most patients appeared happy with the home nutrition support services 18% commented on particular negative aspects. This survey highlights such areas which may not be identified during routine patient/clinician contact.
