Description
Wen Liu, Yelena Perkhounkova, Maria Hein, and Roger Bakeman study mealtimes in nursing homes, in a 2023 paper. Residents with dementia often eat too little, which harms their health. Earlier work linked eating to what residents and staff do, but the order of events in time was unclear.
The team analyzed one hundred sixty videotaped meals involving dozens of staff and residents across nine homes. Eating that residents started themselves rose after they spoke in a positive way, and fell after signs of impairment or resistance. Eating started by staff rose after warm, person-centered talk and fell after task-focused care. The authors advise staff to invite residents' own words, support weak points, answer resistance gently, and keep care person-centered rather than task-centered.
