Staff working in municipal care homes with adults with intellectual disabilities impact their diet significantly.
To explore how external factors influence staff's motivation and performance of nutritional work with these residents.
Semi-structured qualitative interviews with 11 staff using systematic text condensation for analysis.
Five main themes were revealed: Need for the implementation of the official nutritional guidelines, lack of nutritional skills and knowledge, prioritisation of nutritional work tasks, staff's ethical dilemmas with the different legislations and management anchoring and collaboration.
Implementing systematic nutritional routines and clarifying nutritional work in practice were emphasised to promote continuity and better cooperation among the staff. This, and the need for increased nutritional competence in the municipality organisation, adequate framework conditions for nutritional work and practical and pedagogical measures for nutritional tasks, were crucial factors for staff's motivation, performance, consistency and equality in nutritional practice.

探讨外部因素如何影响员工为这些居民开展营养工作的积极性和工作表现。
对11名员工进行半结构化定性访谈,并采用系统文本浓缩法进行分析。
揭示了五个主要主题:实施官方营养指南的必要性、缺乏营养技能和知识、营养工作任务的优先级、员工在不同法规方面的道德困境以及管理支持与协作。
强调实施系统的营养常规并在实践中明确营养工作,以促进员工之间的连续性和更好的合作。这一点,以及市政机构提高营养能力的必要性、营养工作的适当框架条件以及营养任务的实践和教学措施,是员工在营养实践中的积极性、工作表现、一致性和平等性的关键因素。
