dc.description.abstractBackground: Communication toward obese patients and negative attitudes in the time allotted to patients can decrease the quality of care provided to obese patients. Determining the attitudes of nurses who care for obese patients is very important for obese patients to benefit from health services effectively. The purpose of the study was to examine the attitudes and affecting factors of nurses working in surgical services toward obesity and obese patients. Methods: This descriptive research was conducted with 204 nurses who worked in surgical services. Data were collected using Identifying Information Form, and Nurses' Attitude Toward Obesity and Obese Patients Scale (NATOOPS) was used. Results: In the study, it was seen that the mean score of the NATOOPS was 105.68 +/- 21.80, the lowest score being 41 and the highest being 150. It was found that the nurses who had the most positive point of view of obesity were between the ages of 50 and 59, male, had 1-5 years of working experience, worked the night shift, worked 50-59 h per week, and provided care to none or 1-2 obese patients per day. Conclusion: In the study, it was determined that nurses had positive perspective toward obesity and obese patients.en_US
