Screening for undernutrition is highly important and may reduce morbidity and mortality. The Minimal Eating Observation and Nutrition Form Version II (MEONF-II) is a nutritional screening tool specifically developed for use by nurses. The authors describe the translation, performance and appropriateness of MEONF-II for the UK. Following translation from Swedish to British English, the user-friendliness and appropriateness of the British MEONF-II was tested by 29 registered nurses and final-year student nurses on 266 hospital inpatients. The new British MEONF-II was perceived as highly user-friendly and appropriate. Assessors found MEONF-II to compare favourably with other similar tools in terms of preference, usefulness and helpfulness in providing good nutritional care. Dependency in activities and poorer subjective health were associated with a higher risk of undernutrition. These findings support the appropriateness of the British MEONF-II version and suggest it may act as a user-friendly facilitator for good nutritional nursing care.
营养不良筛查极为重要，可能会降低发病率和死亡率。《简易饮食观察与营养评估表第二版》（MEONF-II）是专门为护士使用而开发的营养筛查工具。作者描述了MEONF-II在英国的翻译、性能及适用性。从瑞典语翻译成英式英语后，29名注册护士和护理学本科最后一年的学生护士对266名住院患者测试了英式MEONF-II的用户友好性和适用性。新的英式MEONF-II被认为具有高度的用户友好性且适用。评估者发现，在偏好、有用性以及在提供良好营养护理方面的帮助程度上，MEONF-II与其他类似工具相比更具优势。活动依赖和较差的主观健康状况与营养不良风险较高相关。这些发现支持了英式MEONF-II版本的适用性，并表明它可能成为良好营养护理的用户友好型辅助工具。
