Influence of registered nurses' attitudes toward bariatric patients on educational programming effectiveness.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:This study describes registered nurses' (RNs') attitudes toward obese adult patients using the Attitudes Toward Obese Adult Patients Instrument. METHODS:Full-time RNs (N = 119) employed in a medical center, acute rehabilitation institution, and skilled nursing facility participated in the study. RESULTS:Findings revealed that RNs have positive attitudes toward obese adults. RNs were concerned about personal and patient safety. Respondents recognized the complex care needs of bariatric patients and the increased workload associated with meeting these demands. There were differences in attitudes between medical center RNs and acute rehabilitation RNs, possibly related to differences in workload and length of stay. CONCLUSIONS:The effectiveness of bariatric educational programming may be improved if RN attitudes and concerns are measured and addressed.
