简要总结
Due to longer life expectancy, age-related changes and problems become more significant. The aging process is associated with loss of function and reduced performance. Age-related physiological changes in the regulation of nutrition intake and in the gastro-intestinal tract lead to deterioration of the nutritional status. Deterioration of the health status and of nutritional intake is further associated with chronic malnutrition, impaired quality of life, increased morbidity, mortality and long-term care. In order to ensure optimal nutritional care of nursing home residents and therefore have a lasting positive affect on their quality of life, morbidity and mortality, it is necessary:
- to collect data on the quality of nutritional care in nursing homes by means of a simple method that requires no specialization in data acquisition,
- to acquire knowledge on the prevalence of risk factors of malnutrition in nursing home residents in general and on individual nursing units, also in conjunction with the outcome after six months, and to forward the same to the individual nursing units,
- to allow comparison with other facilities (with similar profile) with the help of a benchmarking system,
- to assess the effectiveness of introduced changes in terms of quality management and quality improvement.
详细描述
The study is a population-based, observational cross-section examination carried out on one day, and an outcome evaluation six months later. The examination should be repeated annually. Data is collected with the help of questionnaires. Anonymised data entry into the audit database is done with individual and anonymous center and unit-codes.
There are 2 questionnaires to complete on nutritionDay. The unit staff completes 1 questionnaire about structure of the unit and 1 questionnaire about resident characteristics.
- unit sheet: asks for nutrition related organisational and structural information on the unit.
- resident description: asks for general characteristics, diseases, care level, mobility and restrictions on food intake.
Outcome Evaluation: re-assesses the resident's outcome 6 months after nutritionDay (residence after 6 months, actual weight, and hospitalization). This questionnaire has to be completed 6 months after nutritionDay by the unit staff.
