Sammanfattning

The article addresses undernutrition as perceived by inpatients receiving nutritional nursing care. The article likewise reports on patients’ responses to being pressured and urged to eat in spite of lack of appetite. This is evinced by secondary empiricism drawn from a systematic review method. The findings identify three topics: being pressured to eat; underprioritisation of nutrition; and changes in meal significance during hospitalisation and illness. Kari Martinsen’s concept of "weak paternalism" and Immanuel Kant’s "duty-based ethics" are included in the study’s discussion on pressure and encouragement to eat, and where the limits lie. The conclusion is that there are many reasons for undernutrition, and that patients report two conflicting approaches; that nursing staff either pressure the patient too much, or that undernutrition is underprioritised. This points to the importance of revising practices in order to ensure, for example, quiet at mealtimes so as to achieve greater focus on the importance of nutrition and the patient’s needs.
