Study Summary
Background: Numerous studies have shown that many LTC residents receive inadequate staff assistance with eating, which places them at risk for under-nutrition, dehydration and weight loss. Moreover, improvements in feeding assistance care have been shown to improve residents' daily food and fluid consumption and weight loss outcomes. Objectives: The purpose of this program evaluation project is to train indigenous LTC staff how to improve nutritional care within the constraints of existing staffing resources. Methods: A multiple baseline design was used to evaluate the effectiveness of the program in one federal and one state VA LTC facility. Research staff collected baseline measures related to nutritional care processes and resident outcomes. All LTC units in each of the two sites were divided into two groups for program implementation. The program was implemented with staff and residents on the units in the immediate intervention group; while, the delayed intervention group remained in usual care and continued to be monitored monthly for all care process and resident outcome measures. Status: This project ended 10/1/13. Five published papers resulted from this study.
Primary Outcome
Research staff observed each participant during six meals per study phase. Research staff documented the total amount of staff time spent providing feeding assistance and each type of assistance per resident per meal. These data were used to construct standardized "feeding assistance care quality indicators" wherein the number of resident meal observations was variable. For example, one indicator was defined as: Percentage of meals during which resident intake was below 50% and staff offered and
