Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because of its direct influence on respiratory health, nutritional status, and general wellbeing, diet plays a significant role in the management of cystic fibrosis (CF). The role of nutrition in the treatment of cystic fibrosis (CF) is highlighted here. - Nutritional status: People with cystic fibrosis often have problems digesting food because of pancreatic insufficiency. Poor weight gain, malnutrition, and vitamin shortages are all possible results of this. They need a high-calorie, well-balanced diet to keep up with their rapid growth and development. - Nutrition and lung function: CF patients who eat well have better lung function. The risk of respiratory infections can be reduced by eating healthily and keeping one's muscles strong, including those used for breathing. Better lung health and respiratory function are among the many benefits of a nutritious diet. - Digestive health: dietary therapies can help with CF-related digestive disorders such malabsorption and intestinal blockage. A high-fat, high-calorie diet is recommended to make up for poor absorption, and enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) is frequently administered to aid in digestion. Optimizing digestion, avoiding vitamin shortages, and boosting digestive health are all goals of nutritional interventions. - Maintaining a healthy weight might be difficult for many people with cystic fibrosis because of their increased metabolic rate. They can satisfy their energy needs and avoid losing weight or becoming malnourished if they eat a diet rich in calories from protein, healthy fats, and carbohydrates. Those who are very malnourished or have trouble getting enough calories may benefit from nutritional support, such as oral supplements or tube feeding. - The risk of bone damage and osteoporosis is increased by CF-related variables such as chronic inflammation, decreased physical activity, and poor nutrition absorption. Bone health can be maintained and the likelihood of fractures reduced by eating a diet rich in calcium, vitamin D, and other bone-supporting elements and engaging in regular physical activity. - An individual's overall health and happiness might benefit from a carefully considered diet that is suited to their specific requirements. It has the potential to improve vitality, mental and emotional well-being, and disease control. The mucus in your respiratory system can be thinned out and dehydration avoided if you drink enough water. Individuals with CF should consult with a licensed dietitian or nutritionist who has experience with CF care to create a tailored dietary program. Adjusting the diet and improving CF care requires regular monitoring of nutritional status, growth, and lung function.

Download or read book Screening for Eating Disturbances in Adolescents who Have Cystic Fibrosis written by Allison Mallowe and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: It is well documented that adolescents who have Cystic Fibrosis (CF) can improve their respiratory prognosis and achieve normal growth patterns by optimizing nutrition (Corey, McLaughlan, Williams & Levison, 1988). This is accomplished by a high calorie diet, pancreatic enzyme replacement and vitamin supplementation. Adolescents with CF may often have distorted views on normal eating, and thus choose to follow the path of a low-calorie diet and misuse pancreatic enzymes (Gilchrist & Lenney, 2008). This concept often triggers the known developmental continuum between eating disturbance and eating disorders in the general population (Thompson & Smolak, 2001). The nature of CF brings into focus the very risk factors for eating disturbances: preoccupations with food, weight, exercise and caloric intake. The existence of eating disturbances in this population possesses a serious concern for life considering the potentially fatal consequences related to low weight. According to Shearer and Byron (2004), the development of a screening measure for frequent use in clinics by health professionals is warranted. A resource to identify those adolescents at risk for eating disturbances would help to avoid nutritional decline and therefore the potential for respiratory decline. Currently the lack of a screening tool exists to identify eating disturbances. The purpose of this study is to develop, implement, and evaluate a screening tool and educational session intended for nurses for the identification of eating disturbances in at-risk adolescent patients with cystic fibrosis at CHOP. Methods: This research was a pilot study. It included a pre -and post-test questionnaire developed by the researcher. The research was a quasi-experiment that utilized a convenience population. The pre-test and the post-test were identical questionnaires. The test included a case scenario. The case scenario included behaviors that place the adolescent at risk for developing eating disturbances. An educational session was provided to the participants. The session reviewed the assessment categories of the screening tool and details about each question related to adolescents who have cystic fibrosis. Results: Participants included six total, five females and one male. All participants were registered nurses working with the CF population. There are 16 possible answers on the pre- and post-test. There are 9 possible correct answers. The correct answers are those behaviors that place the adolescent with CF at risk for an eating disturbance. The incorrect behaviors are those behaviors that do not definitively place the adolescent with CF at risk for an eating disturbance. There was an improvement in knowledge in one participant. A participant scored in the satisfactory category in the pre-test and increased to the knowledgeable category in the post-test. Approximately 16.5% of the participants improved their score, 33% participants worsened their score, and approximately 49.5% had no change in score. Conclusions: Although, intense preoccupation with food and weight do exist in both the general and CF adolescent population, so does the potential to develop an eating disorder. As noted, eating disturbances can place the adolescent with CF at risk for nutritional decline and potential respiratory decline. Respiratory decline can impact the longevity of a person's life in CF. Given these facts, it is important for the health of the population and the awareness of healthcare professionals to develop a validated and reliable screening tool. Further research in the area of developing a screening tool as well as an effective intervention and possibly training for healthcare professionals in this area is warranted.
