Abstract

Sarcopenia is one of the common geriatric syndromes in the older adults and causes many negative health outcomes such as decreased functionality, decreased quality of life, and increased risk of morbidity and mortality. Prevention of sarcopenia, early diagnosis, maintenance of necessary treatment and care, require health professionals to work with a multidisciplinary team approach. Nurses within the healthcare team, have an important role in the prevention and diagnosis of sarcopenia and planning individual interventions. While providing care to older adults, nurses with a specialized knowledge should screen for sarcopenia, educate them for prevention of sarcopenia, plan and manage the necessary care for individuals diagnosed. In order to do all these, first of all, nurses should know the concept of sarcopenia and realize its importance. This review aims to provide a source of information on evaluation, diagnosis, prevention, treatment and care for sarcopenia, to emphasize the importance of the issue in terms of nursing care, and to guide nurses about sarcopenia.

Abstract

Sarkopeni yaşlılarda sık görülen geriatrik sendromlardan biri olup fonksiyonellikte azalma, yaşam kalitesinde düşme, morbidite ve mortalite riskini artırma gibi birçok olumsuz sağlık sonuçlarına sebep olmaktadır. Sarkopeninin önlenmesi, erken tanılanması, gerekli tedavi ve bakımının sürdürülmesi, sağlık profesyonellerinin multidisipliner ekip anlayışı ile çalışmasını gerektirir. Sağlık ekibi içinde hemşireler, sarkopeninin önlenmesinde, tanılanmasında ve bireye özgü girişimlerin planlanmasında önemli bir role sahiptir. Hemşireler, yaşlı bireylere bakım verirken özelleşen bir bilgi birikimi ile sarkopeni açısından taramalar yapmalı, sarkopeniden korunmaya yönelik eğitim vermeli, tanı alan bireylere yönelik gerekli bakımı planlamalı ve yönetmelidir. Tüm bunları yapabilmek için öncelikli olarak hemşirelerin sarkopeni kavramını bilmeleri ve öneminin farkına varmaları gerekmektedir. Bu derleme, sarkopeniye yönelik değerlendirme, tanılama, önleme, tedavi ve bakım konularında bilgi kaynağı oluşturmayı, hemşirelik bakımı açısından konunun önemini vurgulamayı ve hemşirelere sarkopeni konusunda rehber olmayı amaçlanmaktadır.
