Nutrition en établissements médicosociaux et sanitaires : impact de l’utilisation de l’outil MobiQual nutrition/dénutrition/alimentation de la personne âgée

摘要

The MobiQual nutrition/malnutrition/feeding tool was developed to meet the needs of healthcare professionals, with the aim of providing awareness/training on the importance of maintaining a good nutritional balance in the elderly, both in terms of their needs and pleasure when eating. Since becoming available in April 2011, nearly 6,000 copies have been distributed, mainly in nursing homes for the elderly but also in healthcare establishments. Analysis of a sample of 479 questionnaires returned by users showed a positive impact on the actions carried out using this tool in terms of the nutritional balance of residents, their pleasure when eating and physical activity and also in terms of decision-making and organisation.
