Exploring personhood in dining experiences of residents with dementia in long-term care facilities
2011, Journal of Aging StudiesCitation Excerpt :The rituals and activities surrounding food eating can also provide a link to personal identity (Evans, Crogan & Shultz, 2005). Previous studies have reported that nursing staff in care facilities tend to focus on the mechanical task of feeding but overlook the individual needs and psychosocial aspects of residents' experiences during mealtimes (Gibbs-Ward & Keller, 2005; Moore, 2004; Pearson, FitzGerald & Nay, 2003; Schell & Kayser-Jones, 1999; Sydner & Fjellström, 2005). As Savishinsky (2003) described, food in nursing homes can become merely a medicalized commodity, clinicians focusing mainly in terms of what and how much goes into and out of the body but overlooking the individual preferences and psychosocial aspects of the experience for the residents.
"Getting into the skin": Empathy and role taking in certified nursing assistants' care of dying residents

2007, Journal of the American Dietetic AssociationCitation Excerpt :In addition, the inclusion of an individual responsible for serving foods to residents as a component of bulk foodservice with waitress delivery likely had a positive benefit on health care staff time such that others on the unit were more able to focus their attention to facilitating meal ingestion. Indeed, availability of hands to feed is a limiting factor in many long-term–care facilities (21-23). Although the current study participants did not require feeding assistance, removing pressure from staff during meal times could have a more systemic benefit to all residents.
