Description
Ping Lu and eight co-authors survey what nursing home aides in Shanghai know and do about food for older residents. Aides give most daily care, so their food sense shapes what residents eat. Their 2024 study reached 692 aides in 76 homes across the city.
Food knowledge scored lowest of the three areas checked, and two thirds of aides scored under half marks on it. Better schooling linked to stronger knowledge, while training and steady oversight lifted daily practice. Oddly, more knowledge alone did not mean better practice. The authors call for more training and closer oversight. They frame aide food skills as a direct lever on the health of older residents.
