Journal article (other academic/artistic)abstract
- I sjuksköterskeutbildningen vid Högskolan Kristianstad har sedan 2008 använts en modell för handledning och examination av examensarbetet med fokus på studenternas lärande. Trots att handledningsmodellen varit i bruk under några år visade genomförda kursutvärderingar att studenter uppfattade att det fanns skilda uppfattningar hos handledare och examinatorer om hur examensarbetet ska genomföras. På grund av detta ansöktes medel från Lärande Resurs Centrum (LRC) och Sektionen för Hälsa och Samhälle för att i kollegiet skapa möjligheter att diskutera vilka pedagogiska möjligheter och svårigheter som finns samt hur likheter och olikheter i syn på kunskap kan främja såväl som hindra studenternas lärandeprocess under examensarbetet. I denna rapport beskrivs projektets upplägg och genomförande samt centrala aspekter från den dialog som fördes i kollegiet under projektets gång.

Overweight and risk for undernutrition among persons within special accommodations and hospital care – Year 2005 and 2007
- 2008
-
In: Clinical nutrition supplements, Volume 3, Supplement 1, 2008, page 160-161.. ; , s. 160-161
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Rationale: Both undernutrition and overweight have major impacts on morbidity and mortality and are thus important to prevent. This study explores the prevalence of undernutrition and overweight among persons in special accommodations (SAs) and hospital care in the year of 2005 and 2007. Methods: Six hospitals and all of the SAs within six municipalities were involved. In the year of 2005, 2600 (88%) out of 2945 persons agreed to participate in the study, and in 2007 there were 2255 (81%) out of 2784 persons participating. Risk for undernutrition was defined as the occurrence of at least two of the following; involuntary weight loss, Body Mass Index (BMI) below limit (<20 if /=70 yrs) and/or presence of eating difficulties. Overweight was defined based on BMI (if /=25: if >/=70 yrs: BMI >/=27)[1]. Nursing students, clinical tutors and staff collected the data. Results: The mean age and the risk for undernutrition increased significantly in SAs between the two years. The prevalence of overweight increased with three percent in hospitals as well as in SAs although this increase was not statistically significant.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Background: Disease-related malnutrition is a major health problem in the elderly population, but it has until recently received very little attention, especially are management issues under-explored. By identifying residents at the risk of undernutrition, appropriate nutritional care can be provided.Objectives: Do study circles and policy documents improve the precision in nutritional care and decrease the prevalence of low or high BMI?Design: Pre and post intervention study.Setting: Special accommodations (nursing homes) within six municipalities were involved.Participants: In 2005, 1726 (90.4%) out of 1910 residents agreed to participate and in 2007, 1526 (81.8%) out of 1866 residents participated.Intervention: Study circles in one municipality, having a policy document in one municipality and no intervention in four municipalities.Measurements: Risk of undernutrition was defined as involving any of: involuntary weight loss, low BMI, and/or eating difficulties. Overweight was defined as high BMI.Results: In 2005 and 2007, 64% of 1726 and 66% of 1526 residents respectively were at the risk of undernutrition. In 2007 significantly more patients in the study circle municipality were accurately provided protein and energy enriched food compared to in the no intervention municipalities. There was a decrease in the prevalence of low BMI in the study circle municipality and the prevalence of overweight increased in the policy document municipality between 2005 and 2007.

"Study circles" improves nutritional care and body mass index

In: Clinical nutrition supplements, Volume 3, Supplement 1, 2008, page 61. ; , s. 61-
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The staffs’ knowledge, experiences and motivation are likely to be important and so is an adaptation to each unit’s context to achieve positive changes in nutritional practice. How do study circles (SCs) and policy documents (PD) affect nutritional interventions for persons with moderate or high risk for undernutrition (UN-risk) in special accommodations (SAs)? All SAs within six municipalities were involved. UN-risk was defined as the occurrence of at least two of; involuntary weight loss, Body Mass Index below limit (<20 if /=70 yrs) and/or presence of eating difficulties. In year 2005 and 2007 it was 361 (27%) out of 1337 and 322 (35%) out of 920 persons respectively that were at UN-risk and included in this study. Interventions: In 18 of the departments 39 SCs were implemented, involving 8 staff each, in total 315 persons. Each group met for 3 occasions (3 hours each time) to discuss eating and nutrition based on a manual (www.vardalinstitutet.net/scn). The SCs did not focus on the above definition of UN-risk. In four other SAs a PD was politically anchored. No intervention was implemented in the other SAs. SCs and PD increased the precision in provided nutritional actions significantly for persons at UN-risk. The precision (percent) in the provision of nutritional actions.

It is likely that a combination of study circles and policy documents can improve the precision of provision of nutritional actions even more.

Journal article (pop. science, debate, etc.)abstract
- Måltidsupplevelsen påverkas av så mycket; ljuset i lokalen, ljud, dukning, servering, bemötande, maten, smakerna, doften och sällskapet. Men hur kan den kunskapen omsättas på sjukhus och äldreboenden? Det skriver Albert Westergren, professor i omvårdnad, Kerstin Blomqvist, biträdande professor i klinisk omvårdnad, Anna-Karin Edberg, professor i omvårdnad, och Pia Petersson, ansvarig för sjuksköterskeprogrammet, samtliga på Högskolan Kristianstad.
