The Minimal Eating Observation Form - II (MEOF-II) is a screening and research tool for eating difficulties. We assess psychometric and metrological aspects of the Danish version of the tool.
This study includes MEOF-II data from 302 acute geriatric patients. Analyses were based on Classical Test Theory and Rasch Model Analysis.
51.3% of the patients had eating difficulties. The MEOFII items belonged to one higher order factor, and three lower level factors: deglutition; ingestion; and energy/appetite. The hierarchical structure of the items was revealed. The MEOF-II had a good fit with Rasch model expectations.
The study provides support for the reliability and validity of the Danish version of the MEOF-II. MEOF-II total and subscale scores are reliable and valid for use in nursing practice and research.

本研究纳入了302例老年急症患者的MEOF-II数据。分析基于经典测试理论和拉施模型分析。
51.3%的患者存在进食困难。MEOF-II项目属于一个高阶因子和三个低阶因子：吞咽；摄入；以及能量/食欲。揭示了项目的层次结构。MEOF-II与拉施模型预期拟合良好。
该研究为MEOF-II丹麦语版本的可靠性和有效性提供了支持。MEOF-II总分及分量表得分在护理实践和研究中使用是可靠且有效的。
