Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- BACKGROUND: The importance of food and meals, including the problem with malnutrition, has been discussed by caregivers, the government, the home care recipients themselves as well as their next of kin. There is a need for improvement which demands changes. AIM: *To investigate the knowledge and attitudes to food and nutrition, focussing on malnutrition among the personnel in the home care services and home help inspectors, before and after education. *To investigate food and nutrition, including the attitude towards it, among elderly in ordinary housing with assisted meal service and/or meal distribution, before and after education among the personnel. *To test nutrition routines among elderly in ordinary housing with assisted meal service and/or meal distribution. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The project was performed in four home care service groups in Malmö. Fifty-nine persons of the personnel participated in education at four occasions for three hour each. Of these, 52 persons answered questions regarding diet and nutrition at the first measuring and 45 persons answered questions at the seconds measuring. Sixty-three elderly home care recipients were interviewed regarding food and nutrition, of these 48 were also interviewed at the end of the project. RESULTS: The questionnaire showed that the knowledge of food and nutrition among the personnel was satisfying already before the education started. However, the self-perceived knowledge regarding food and nutrition for sick elderly as well as the knowledge of assessing nutritional status, increased. The interviews with the elderly receiving home care showed that they most often were satisfied with food service and food provided by the home care services. Usually, the elderly reported to consume breakfast, dinner (at noon), and an evening meal along with snack meals once or twice a day. Ready made and home delivered warm meals were the recipients’ first option over meals prepared by the personnel in recipients home. Ready made and home delivered cold meals (to be heated later) were the least preferred meal. For the elderly that had help from the homecare services with the evening meal, this consisted frequently of a prepared sandwich to be stored in the fridge until consumption time. Almost all of the personnel and every third elderly believed that two cooked meals should be offered every day. The reported intake from the elderly showed that there was a risk for a deficient intake of energy and nutrients. Almost 30% of the caretakers were considered underweight. The majority of the personnel agreed totally or partly that assessment of the nutritional status should be performed at all elderly to receive home care. Such a nutritional assessment should be a base for the nutritional treatment. In the present project, the caretakers have, for example, been offered to join personnel and participate in shopping the food, to get assistance with preparation of snack meals and having meals together with others. CONCLUSIONS: The prerequisite to manage on your own and to have a meaningful life, are an adequate intake of energy and nutrients, among other factors. The meal can, and should take time. Food and nutrition should be prioritized to an even larger extent by decision makers in Malmö as in other municipalities. This enables personnel to create a joyful meal situation for the elderly and an optimal state of nutrition. It is important to change and extend the options to include an evening meal, the possibility to get assisted snack meals permitted by care managers, and to establish routines that are systematic and uniform regarding diet and nutrition. This project showed that the suggested changes are possible to implement. The changes are of great importance to all elderly receiving home care, and especially elderly suffering from underweight.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Herein is described the synthesis of surfactants featuring polyhydroxylated head groups. Three head groups were prepared via consecutive stereoselective dihydroxylations of a diene. By coupling of these with lipophilic tail groups six novel surfactants have been prepared. The monolayers prepared from four of these have been investigated at the air-water interface. Significant differences were observed between monolayers consisting of enantiomerically pure surfactants contra racemates as well as between diastereomers.
