Franziska GroßschädlSilvia BauerPublished in: Nursing in critical care (2020)
Overall, the prevalence of nursing care problems found in this study was high. No significant differences in the prevalence of nursing care problems between obese and non-obese patients were found. However, because of the increase in the number of obese patients in all nursing settings, a stronger focus on obesity research in the area of nursing science is recommended.
