Methods:
Doctors who work in facilities were screened for care management of meal using questionnaire. Inpatients were screened for age, meal menu, vertical stop, prosthetic treatment, satisfaction of mastication and difference of meal menu in the home and in the facility.
Results:
Doctors and care workers have little understanding of mastication. Inpatients were satisfied to be able to eat rice in the home and in the facility. It is of paramount importance to have remaining teeth, to maintain vertical stop and to have prosthetic treatment.
Conclusions:
Education on the importance of mastication is needed. The research results show that new action and diagnosis method for deciding menus aiming at mastication of steamed rice need to be developed.
