Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Nutrition Science
  • Healthcare Quality Improvement

Background:

  • Undernutrition screening is crucial for reducing patient morbidity and mortality.
  • The Minimal Eating Observation and Nutrition Form Version II (MEONF-II) is a validated nutritional screening tool designed for nursing staff.
  • Adaptation of validated tools is essential for effective implementation in new healthcare settings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To translate and validate the Minimal Eating Observation and Nutrition Form Version II (MEONF-II) for use in the United Kingdom.
  • To assess the user-friendliness, appropriateness, and performance of the British version of MEONF-II among healthcare professionals.
  • To identify factors associated with undernutrition risk within the hospital inpatient population.

Main Methods:

  • The original Swedish MEONF-II was translated into British English.
  • 29 registered nurses and student nurses evaluated the British MEONF-II on 266 hospital inpatients.
  • User-friendliness, appropriateness, and comparative performance against other tools were assessed.

Main Results:

  • The British MEONF-II was perceived as highly user-friendly and appropriate by nursing staff.
  • Assessors preferred the MEONF-II over other tools for its usefulness and contribution to nutritional care.
  • Increased dependency in activities and poorer subjective health were significantly associated with a higher risk of undernutrition.

Conclusions:

  • The British version of the MEONF-II is a suitable and user-friendly nutritional screening tool for UK nurses.
  • MEONF-II can effectively facilitate the provision of high-quality nutritional nursing care.
  • The tool's findings support the importance of assessing functional status and subjective health in identifying at-risk patients.
