Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: All Registered Nurses and Licensed Practical Nurses who work in CICU, MSICU, NTICU and 7N .The attitudes of these nurses regarding obesity and the obese patients were measured. Objectives: To determine if there is a bias against obese patients in the health care setting and if further education is needed. Methods: Likert scale survey, modified from the NATOOPS survey (with permission) was sent electronically to each nurse and when completed transmitted to a data base where results were tabulated. Results: Among the 51 respondents, 60 % had 4 years of college or more. Years in nursing ranged from 0-47.Age of nurse 23-69.The nurses were consistent regarding care to the obese patient. Treatment given was the same as that given to a normal weight patient. Lack of equipment to help nurses with obese patients was a common thread. Education of staff and patients were the biggest issues. Respondents who had obesity training had lower scores and respondents with higher education had lower scores which did reach a statistically significant difference. r=-0.29 (p=0.0447) Correlation was made that nurses with higher education had lower scores regarding obesity. Thus a bias is present in the attitudes of nurses toward the obese patient. Conclusion: There is a bias against obesity in the healthcare field. More education is needed. Future research utilizing a qualitative study regarding the nurse and obese patient would be beneficial.

Book excerpt: This is a work in progress.Beginning with the ever changing world we live in and the people that we meet. Obesity has been a long standing problem in our society. We now recognize it as a great health concern with many co-morbidities that come with being obese. The nurses at the bedside who minister to the patient when illness ensues can tell you a whole different story when it comes to care. There must be many things done differently. Beds must be larger in order to accommodate the extra weight. There must be adequate staff in order to provide the very basic needs, such as turning, bathing and maintaining comfort.Albeit, we have come a long way, but we do have a very long way to go.Hopefully in my lifetime there we be substantial changes in dealing with obesity in the healthcare setting.

This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Higher weight patients seeking healthcare services are at risk of negative societal attitudes toward obesity. It is essential that the healthcare industry evaluates factors that influence the perception of care at the bedside for this population. Purpose: This study sought to compare differences between Registered Nurses (RN) attitudes toward patients with high Body Mass Index (BMI) in a Bariatric Center of Excellence to those in a community hospital. In addition, this study sought to determine if a relationship existed between nurses' attitudes toward higher weight patients and their own body satisfaction, internalized weight bias, and experiences with weight stigmatization. Methods: This study utilized a quasi-experimental design with a sample of 118 nurses from the two study sites that completed an electronic survey containing a series of validated questions and demographic data. Evaluation: Descriptive statistics (means, standard deviations, and frequencies) were used to report the demographics and major study variables in each hospital. Independent samples t-tests showed one difference between study sites in negative attitudes towards patients with high BMI. One subscale related to controllable factors of obesity showed lower negativity in the Bariatric Center of Excellence, as measured by the Nurses Attitudes Toward Obese and Obese Patient Survey (NATOOPS). No significant correlations were found between negative attitudes and body satisfaction, internalized weight bias, or external weight stigma. Clinical Implications: Attitudes about controllable factors of obesity is impacted by a bariatric center environment. Further field research with a focus on implicit attitudes and evidenced-based educational tactics are needed to obtain a more in-depth perspective on nurses' attitudes.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: This study was conducted to determine the attitudes and beliefs of student nurse practitioners toward obese individuals in comparison to non-nursing students at California State University, Long Beach. Several studies have been conducted on the attitudes toward obesity of individuals and of healthcare personnel, however limited studies have been conducted to examine the attitudes and beliefs of student nurse practitioners. A convenience sample of 65 student nurse practitioners and 84 non-nursing students were surveyed using the Attitudes Toward Obese Persons and Beliefs About Obese Persons scale. The results of the Attitudes Toward Obese Persons and Beliefs About Obese Persons scale were nonsignificant between the two groups. Nurse practitioners have a major impact in the promotion of health and prevention of diseases through early screening and management of the complications of obesity. Negative perceptions toward obese individuals compromise the nurse-client relationship and hinder progress in addressing these patients' health concerns.
