Sammanfattning
Undernutrition is a common problem
both in somatic care at
general hospitals, and in somatic
and social care in the municipal
services for the elderly in the
community. The aim of this study
was to investigate the routines
and the needs for education in
nutrition. 142 questionnaires
were distributed, 24 to general
hospitals and 118 to municipal
services for the elderly in the
community. The result of the
study showed that nutrition was
discussed during the patients’
first meetings with staff in both
organisations. Monitoring of
weight was more often carried
out during the patients´ admittance
to the hospitals than in
community care and the patients’
status and diagnosis were factors
that decided how often the monitoring
should take place. After a
discharge from hospital or a
transfer to another unit of care
there were no significant differences
between the two organisations
concerning routines for the
documentation. Needs for education
about nutrition was found in
both organisations.
