    Area of Science:

    • Gerontology
    • Nursing Practice
    • Clinical Nutrition

    Background:

    • Syringe feeding is a method used for nutrition delivery in certain patient populations.
    • The practice's prevalence and associated support services in nursing homes require examination.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the current use of syringe feeding in nursing homes.
    • To identify challenges and resource availability, particularly speech pathology services, for facilities using this method.

    Main Methods:

    • A survey was conducted among directors of nursing services in 101 nursing homes.
    • Data collected focused on the utilization of syringe feeding and access to speech-language pathology services.

    Main Results:

    • 17 out of 101 nursing homes reported using syringe feeding for some residents.
    • Three of these facilities lacked easy access to speech pathologists.
    • The facility with the highest number of syringe-fed residents did not utilize speech pathology for swallowing assessments.

    Conclusions:

    • While syringe feeding appears to be decreasing, it persists in some nursing homes.
    • Enhancing nurses' knowledge and awareness regarding syringe feeding decisions is vital.
    • Improved access to and utilization of speech pathology services for swallowing assessments is recommended for facilities employing syringe feeding.
