This work sought to describe the experience of managers and caregivers with feeding and nutrition for older adults with dementia, in Colombian gerontological services.
This is a qualitative focus group study with fourteen gerontological care centers for people with dementia.
The study reveals that care related to food and nutrition for people with dementia is organized based on the comprehensive assessment of the resident. Although there are basic support strategies, each caregiver requires specific knowledge, attitudes, behaviors, and institutional support, to generate a context that favors the health and quality of life of those involved.
The experience of caring for people with dementia in aspects related to their food and nutrition, seen from the perspective of managers and caregivers of gerontological services in a developing country, strengthens specific strategies and public policies. This, in turn, reduces the burden on caregivers.
本研究旨在描述哥伦比亚老年病服务机构中，管理人员和护理人员在为老年痴呆症患者提供喂食和营养方面的经验。
这是一项针对14个老年痴呆症患者护理中心的定性焦点小组研究。
研究表明，老年痴呆症患者的食物和营养护理是基于对居民的全面评估而组织的。尽管有基本的支持策略，但每位护理人员都需要特定的知识、态度、行为和机构支持，以营造有利于相关人员健康和生活质量的环境。
从发展中国家老年病服务机构的管理人员和护理人员的角度来看，在老年痴呆症患者的食物和营养相关方面的护理经验强化了具体策略和公共政策。这反过来减轻了护理人员的负担。
