Self-feeding performance in nursing home residents

C L Osborn, M J Marshall

    Journal of Gerontological Nursing
    |March 1, 1993
    PubMed
    Summary

    Cognitively impaired residents showed excess disability in drinking and with puréed diets. Alternative feeding techniques beyond spoonfeeding can enhance participation in mealtimes for nursing home residents.

    Area of Science:

    • Gerontology
    • Nutritional Science
    • Rehabilitation Medicine

    Background:

    • Cognitively impaired individuals in nursing homes often face challenges with mealtimes, impacting their nutritional intake and quality of life.
    • Existing feeding interventions may inadvertently reduce resident participation and independence.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify specific areas of excess disability in feeding among cognitively impaired nursing home residents.
    • To evaluate the role of spoonfeeding versus other techniques in resident participation during mealtimes.

    Main Methods:

    • Observational study of cognitively impaired nursing home residents during mealtimes.
    • Analysis of feeding assistance methods, focusing on spoonfeeding and alternative techniques.
    • Assessment of resident disability in specific tasks like drinking and diet consistency.

    Main Results:

    • Excess disability was noted in the task of drinking liquids.
    • Residents consuming puréed diets exhibited greater feeding challenges.
    • Staff frequently employed spoonfeeding, leading to passive recipient roles for residents capable of some self-feeding.
    • Alternative techniques like verbal prompts, nonverbal cues, and physical guidance were identified.

    Conclusions:

    • Feeding interventions should move beyond passive spoonfeeding.
    • Implementing supportive feeding techniques can enhance participation and independence for nursing home residents with cognitive impairment.
    • Tailored strategies are needed to address specific mealtime challenges, such as drinking difficulties and puréed diets.
