Home-living elderly people’s views on food and meals
- 2012
-
Ingår i: Journal of Aging Research. - 2090-2204. ; , s. 761291-
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background.The aim of the study was to describe home-living elderly people’s views on the importance of food andmeals. Methods. Semistructured interviews with twelve elderly people. The interviews were analysed using qualitative content analysis.Results.Respondents described how their past influenced their present experiences and views on food and meals. Increased reliance on and need of support with food and meals frequently arose in connection with major changes in their life situations. Sudden events meant a breaking point with a transition from independence to dependence and a need for assistance from relatives and/or the community. With the perspective from the past and in the context of dependency, respondents described meals during the day, quality of food, buying, transporting, cooking, and eating food.Conclusions.Meeting the need for optimal nutritional status for older people living at home requires knowledge of individual preferences and habits, from both their earlier and current lives. It is important to pay attention to risk factors that could compromise an individual’s ability to independently manage their diet, such as major life events and hospitalisation. Individual needs for self-determination and involvement should be considered in planning and development efforts for elderly people related to food and meals.

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)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.

"Om man ska ha mat, ska det vara god mat" : äldre personers upplevelser av mat och måltider i ordinärt boende
- 2010
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The aim of the study was to capture the older persons' experiences in relation to foodand meals in ordinary housing.Method:Semi-structured interviews, with twelve older persons, on the basis of the instrument"Seniors in the community: Risk Evaluation for Eating and Nutrition, Version II" (SCREEN II). The interviews were analyzed with manifest and latent content analysis.Results:Respondents described how past life largely influenced their current experiences and views on food and meals. Increased reliance and need for support arose frequently in connection with a major change in the life situation. The results showed that the SCREEN II is useful for measuring the risk of malnutrition under Swedish conditions.Conclusions: Older people's knowledge about good and nutritious food as well as individual needs for self-determination and feeling involved should be considered in planning and development efforts related to food and meals in ordinary housing. SCREEN II can be considered as an appropriate instrument to use in the context of preventive home visits, in order to identify risk factors that can cause malnutrition. Further research in larger samples is needed.

"Om man ska ha mat, ska det vara god mat" : äldres upplevelser av mat och måltid i ordinärt boende
- 2010
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Bakgrund: Malnutrition, vilket inkluderar både undernäring och övervikt/fetma, är ett vanligt problem bland äldre personer, som kan leda till fysiska och psykiska funktionsnedsättningar. Flertal äldre personer i ordinärt boende som lever ensamma har svårigheter med att införskaffa, tillaga och äta sin mat. Genom förebyggande åtgärder kan uppkomst och försämring av malnutrition, ökat beroende, behov av institutionell vård och försämrad livskvalitet förebyggas. Syfte: Syfte med studien var att utifrån äldre personers upplevelser och erfarenheter undersöka och kartlägga mat och måltider i ordinärt boende. Metod: Semistrukturerade intervjuer, med tolv äldre personer, utifrån instrumentet ”Seniors in the community: Risk evaluation for eating and nutrition, version II” (SCREEN II). Intervjuerna analyserades med manifest och latent innehållsanalys. Resultat: Analysen av intervjuerna visade att respondenternas tidigare liv i hög grad påverkade nuvarande upplevelser av och syn på mat och måltider. Ökat beroende och behov av stöd uppkom inte sällan i samband med en större förändring i livssituationen. Resultatet visar att SCREEN II är ett användbart instrument för att mäta risk för malnutrition under svenska förhållanden. Slutsats: Äldre personers kunskaper kring god och näringsriktig mat samt individuella behov av självbestämmande och delaktighet bör beaktas i planering och utveckling av insatser kopplade till mat och måltider i ordinärt boende. För att uppmärksamma riskfaktorer som kan leda till malnutrition kan SCREEN II vara ett lämpligt instrument att använda i samband med förebyggande hembesök. Det finns ett behov av mer omfattande forskning inom området.

Improving nursing students research knowledge through participation in a study about nutrition, its associated factors and assessment
- 2013
-
Ingår i: Journal of Nursing Education and Practice. - 1925-4040 .- 1925-4059. ; 3:8, s. 50-58

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Aims: The aims of this study were threefold: 1) to explore nursing students perceptions of knowledge development after participating in an actual research project; 2) to explore undernutrition and its relationship to other clinical factors; 3) to explore the user-friendliness of the Minimal Eating Observation and Nutrition Form (MEONF-II) in relation to dependency in Activities of Daily Living (ADL).Methods: A pilot study (Study 1, S1) was conducted in October 2010, including 281 patients. After extending the research protocol a second data collection (S2) was conducted in March 2011, including 236 patients (total n=517). First and third year nursing students (n=188) collected the data, during one day of their clinical practice courses by assessing three patients each in hospitals or nursing homes. Students answered questions about their experiences from participating in the study. Patient related assessments included: MEONF-II; ADL dependency (S1 and S2); insomnia; low-spiritedness; and subjective health (S2). In addition, questions about the user-friendliness of MEONF-II were included (S1 and S2).Results: Among the nursing students, 51% experienced that their knowledge about nutrition increased and 67% that their understanding for research increased by participating in the project. Out of the patients, 57% were women, 50% were almost independent, 27% had some dependency, 23% were almost totally dependent in ADL, and 48% were at moderate/ high undernutrition risk. In S2, 32% of patients had insomnia, and 46% experienced low-spiritedness. Dependency in 5-6 and 3-4 ADLs (OR, 2.439 and 2.057, respectively), compared to dependency in 0-2 ADLs, were the strongest predictors for undernutrition risk, followed by insomnia (OR 2.124). Nursing students experienced the MEONF-II as easy to understand (93%), easy to answer (94%) and relevant (94%), and the suggestions for measures to take in case of risk as relevant (95%), independent of the patients’ ADL status.Conclusions: By participating in an actual research project nursing students gets an understanding for research and tools for working with quality improvements in their future role as professional nurses. Undernutrition, mental and physical factors constitute coexisting problems in need for further investigation. Nursing students perceive the MEONF-II as user-friendly, independent of patient ADL dependency.

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Background: By integrating education, research and collaboration with society, in a learning assignment, the level of nursing students learning can be enhanced.Aim: The purpose of this study was to explore nursing students’ experiences of participating in a work and research integrated learning assignment during their clinical practice courses.Methods: At the end of their nursing training, in their sixth semester, five nursing students were recruited to the study and interviewed after which the texts of interviews were analysed using content analysis. The participants had been involved in two studies, one during their second semester, where the risk of falling was assessed, and one during their sixth semester where the risk for under nutrition was assessed.Results: The students experienced that the two assignments enhanced their learning in how to work as a foreman/supervisor, how to inform and engage in dialogue, about using risk assessment, and further, gave them the opportunity to meet the people behind the diagnosis. Through assignments they could also identify the need for knowledge within the study focus, for instance, the risks for falling or the risk of undernourishment. Further, they described how they tried to live up to the ethical standards and that they had learned about using a scientific approach in their work.Conclusion: It is possible to integrate Research, Education and Collaboration in a learning assignment during Nursing education (RECN-assignment) by allowing nursing students to participate in an actual research project during their work integrated learning courses. Such an approach enhances nursing students learning about research and the area being studied in the actual research project.
