Presentation Title: Meal realities - Exploring mealtime
complexity on the subacute hospital ward
Synopsis: Inadequate food intake is a complex and
challenging issue in the hospital setting. A variety of interventions have been
implemented to address this problem with little success to date. In order to
more effectively address inadequate food intake, a better understanding of
hospital mealtimes and the context to which these interventions are being
applied is needed. This research aims to explore and understand patterns of
mealtime culture, environment and social practice from the perspective of
staff, volunteers and visitors on the subacute hospital ward.
