摘要:

The purpose of this study was to describe the observed experiences and resident perceptions of a nursing home group dining room. Data collection for the qualitative study was done using participant observation in a large group dining activity and in-depth interviews with 10 residents. Using the constant comparative method of data analysis, a model was generated from the data called Managing the Work of Eating. This model included the specific tasks or challenges of eating in the group dining room. Major categories of the model included: Negotiating the Environment, Coping with Frailty, Dealing with Colleagues, and Responding to the System. Implications for practice include development of strategies designed to promote resident independence and avoid excess disability.

摘要:

The quality of survey data obtained from elderly adults has important implications for nutrition status assessment, policy decisions and program development. Self-reported information by adults of all ages is subject to inaccuracies. Accuracy of data obtained from older respondents may be lower than that of younger respondents. Errors made by older adults are largely due to misinterpretation of the questions asked, motivations related to participation and reporting of information, and changes in memory associated with aging and other factors which may impact respondent accuracy. Cooperative efforts by cognitive psychologists, survey researchers and nutritionists are necessary for improving both questionnaire design and the accuracy of information obtained.

摘要:

This study examined the acceptability of cheese products in a population of older adults in relation to their consumption of dairy products. The majority of the subjects liked hard cheeses (Cheddar, Provolone and Swiss) more than soft, ripened cheeses (Brie and blue cheese), and showed no significant difference in preference between regular and lowfat or fat-free processed cheese. A positive correlation was found between hedonic ratings and frequency of consumption across the five cheeses evaluated in the study. Almost one-half of the participants considered cheese to be a high calorie, high fat and high cholesterol food. This study suggests that lowfat or fat-free cheese products in the form of mild, hard or processed cheeses could successfully be incorporated in the diet of older adults to implement current dietary guidelines for fat and calcium consumption

摘要:

Revised menu guidelines, written by the California Department of Aging (CDA) for senior nutrition programs, were tested by Serve Our Seniors, Inc. in a demonstration program from January '91 through June '92. Results showed improved nutrient value of the meals through increasing fiber, and decreasing sugar and fat. New menus were accepted by senior participants with little resistance. Project food costs increased 4%. Guidelines were used in a variety of project kitchens, with minimal staff training. Limited storage was a problem. Vendors were encouraged to identify appropriate foods and control costs.
