摘要

癌症患者因疾病分期及治療過程會造成營養的流失及攝食量減少，易有營養不良情況發生。研究指出利用病人主觀性整體營養評估表（Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment, PG-SGA）進行早期篩檢、評估癌症病患營養狀況，以作為營養需求之依據。本研究於台中某醫學中心化學治療室進行，受試者179位癌症患者，經由營養介入，包括：營養師針對初次到院進行抗癌治療之患者進行營養評估及飲食指導、針對體重及進食量減少之營養不良高風險患者進行持續追蹤及問題解決、如有進食障礙，教導腸道供給營養品使用、灌食配方製作及正確食用量，以提升癌症患者營養狀況。結果發現，癌症患者經由營養衛教介入後一個月，在醣類、脂肪、蛋白質及熱量攝取上顯著增加，進一步探討營養攝取與營養指標相關性，發醣類、脂肪、蛋白質及熱量之攝取與體重顯著正相關；醣類及熱量攝取與血紅素顯著正相關，另外針對衛教前營養攝取及營養指標狀況較差之癌症患者，營養衛教介入有助於其營養指標－白血球及持續接受化學治療指標－嗜中性白血球之維持。本結論，經由營養衛教介入可增加營養攝取狀況，進而改善白血球及化學治療指標。

Due to the effects of cancer at various stages and harsh treatment processes, cancer patients often have low nutrient and dietary intake, which easily causes malnutrition. Relevant research indicated that the Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) can be a tool for early screening and assessing the nutritional status of cancer patients. This study examined 179 cancer patients who accepted chemotherapy in a medical center's chemotherapy room in Taichung. These cancer patients were given nutritional interventions, including nutritional assessment and dietary guidance for those who accepted anticancer treatment for the first time and regular follow-up and problem-solving by a dietitian for those who were at high risk of malnutrition due to body weight loss and factors reducing dietary intake. For those cancer patients who had oral intake problems, the dietitian provided education about enteral nutrition through an intestinal route, and about formula preparation and proper consumption through tube feeding in order to improve their nutritional status. The study found that those cancer patients had significant increases in carbohydrate, fat, protein, and calorie intake through the nutritional intervention and education. When the relevance between nutritional intake and nutritional indicators was further examined, it was found that carbohydrate, fat, protein, and calorie intake were highly positive correlated with body weight. It was also found that carbohydrate and calorie intake were significantly correlated with hemoglobin. In conclusion, cancer patients can improve their nutritional intake through nutritional interventions, which further improves nutritional indicators.
