Summary: | [en] OBJECTIVES: To assess the knowledge and the use in clinical practice of the "French National Authority for Health" (HAS) 2021 recommendations on the diagnosis of malnutrition in older adults aged 70 years and above.
METHODS: An online survey was developed by the working Group on Geriatrics and Nutrition (GEGN) of the "Société Française de Gériatrie et de Gérontologie (SFGG)" and conducted among members of the SFGG. A self-administered questionnaire composed of 21 closed questions was used.
RESULTS: A total of 132 (10.2 %) members of the SFGG responded to the survey. The respondents were aged 43.4 ± 9.94 years old and 97 (73.5 %) were women. Almost half of them were medical doctors (n = 53 ; 40.2 %). Of the respondents, 81 % had already heard of the HAS 2021 recommendations. This percentage is higher for doctors (96 %) than for other professions (74 %). French respondents were more likely to have heard of these -recommendations (84 %) than respondents from other countries (42.9 %). However, only 41.6 % of the respondents believe they know these recommendations in detail. On a visual analogue scale from 0 (never) to 100 (always), respondents use these recommendations in their professional practice at 76.8 ± 20.2 %. However, on a scale from 0 (never difficult) to 100 (always difficult), some barriers to their use in clinical practice were highlighted. These mainly concerned the measurement of muscle mass (84.4 ± 17.2 %) and muscle strength (79.5 ± 19.9 %) in patients.
CONCLUSION: Although the majority of respondents use the HAS 2021 recommendations in their professional practice, they often have difficulties in measuring muscle strength and muscle mass of their patients. The assessment of sarcopenia still needs to be implemented in clinical routine. Until then, better communication about simple alternatives that do not require special equipment is needed.
Objectifs : Évaluer la connaissance et l’utilisation en pratique clinique des recommandations de la Haute Autorité de Santé (HAS) 2021 pour le diagnostic de la malnutrition chez la personne âgée de 70 ans et plus. Méthodologie : Enquête en ligne réalisée auprès des membres de la Société française de gériatrie et gérontologie (SFGG) entre juin et septembre 2022. Résultats : 132 (10,2 %) membres de la SFGG ont répondu à l’enquête. Parmi ces derniers, 81 % avaient connaissance des recommandations HAS 2021. Sur une échelle visuelle analogique de 0 (jamais) à 100 (toujours), les répondants à l’enquête utilisent ces recommandations dans leur pratique professionnelle à 76,8 ± 20,2 / 100. Toutefois, certaines barrières liées à leur application ont été mises en lumière sur une
échelle allant de 0 (jamais difficile) à 100 (toujours difficile). Celles-ci concernent principalement l’obtention des informations relatives à la masse (84,4 ± 17,2 / 100) et à la force (79,5 ± 19,9 / 100) des patients. Conclusion : Bien que la majorité des répondants utilisent ces recommandations dans leur pratique professionnelle, ils éprouvent souvent des difficultés à recueillir la force et la masse musculaires des patients. Pour remédier à ces difficultés, il conviendrait de mieux communiquer sur l’utilisation d’alternatives simples et rapides. |
