    ”Ingen gillar kyckling så mycket!": Hur en grupp ungdomar, boende på ett ungdomshem, upplever sin mat- och måltidssituation.2016Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [sv]

    Bakgrund: På Statens institutionsstyrelses (SiS) särskilda ungdomshem bor ungdomar med psykosociala problem, till exempel missbruk och kriminalitet. Ungdomar som är omhändertagna och får vård mot sin vilja befinner sig i en komplex situation. Då dessa människor inte har stor möjlighet att påverka sin mat- och måltidssituation kan det vara intressant att undersöka hur de upplever denna.

    Syfte: Syftet med uppsatsen var att undersöka intagna ungdomars upplevelse av sin mat- och måltidssituation vid boende på ungdomshem.

    Metod: En semistrukturerad intervjustudie med en framtagen intervjuguide genomfördes på ett statligt ungdomshem i Mellansverige. Sju personer intervjuades. Intervjuerna analyseras med hjälp av kvalitativ innehållsanalys.

    Resultat: Analysen resulterade i tre huvudsakliga teman: Maktlöshet och missnöje, Måltider – källa till gemenskap och otrygghet och Matens roll i relationen till personalen. Informanterna upplevde ett missnöje gällande maten som serverades på institutionen. De ansåg framförallt att variationen av maträtter var otillräcklig. Vidare upplevdes måltidssituationen stundtals som otrygg då den delades med andra avdelningar på institutionen. Att personalen ibland använde maten som ett verktyg för bestraffning samt ansågs vara otydliga i sin kommunikation upplevdes som problematiskt.

    Slutsats: Att vara frihetsberövad innebär en begränsning av självbestämmandet. Denna form av boendesituation kräver en struktur av rutiner och fasta tidpunkter för att fungera och det är obestridligt att självbestämmandet är mindre än vid ett liv i frihet. Dock bör myndigheten eventuellt överväga att till viss del öka graden av inflytande från ungdomarna, i syfte att skapa en bättre mat- och måltidsupplevelse för ungdomarna som bor på deras institutioner.

    Worldwide trends in body-mass index, underweight, overweight, and obesity from 1975 to 2016: a pooled analysis of 2416 population-based measurement studies in 128·9 million children, adolescents, and adults.2017In: The Lancet, ISSN 0140-6736, E-ISSN 1474-547X, Vol. 390, no 10113, p. 2627-2642Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    BACKGROUND: Underweight, overweight, and obesity in childhood and adolescence are associated with adverse health consequences throughout the life-course. Our aim was to estimate worldwide trends in mean body-mass index (BMI) and a comprehensive set of BMI categories that cover underweight to obesity in children and adolescents, and to compare trends with those of adults.

    METHODS: We pooled 2416 population-based studies with measurements of height and weight on 128·9 million participants aged 5 years and older, including 31·5 million aged 5-19 years. We used a Bayesian hierarchical model to estimate trends from 1975 to 2016 in 200 countries for mean BMI and for prevalence of BMI in the following categories for children and adolescents aged 5-19 years: more than 2 SD below the median of the WHO growth reference for children and adolescents (referred to as moderate and severe underweight hereafter), 2 SD to more than 1 SD below the median (mild underweight), 1 SD below the median to 1 SD above the median (healthy weight), more than 1 SD to 2 SD above the median (overweight but not obese), and more than 2 SD above the median (obesity).

    FINDINGS: Regional change in age-standardised mean BMI in girls from 1975 to 2016 ranged from virtually no change (-0·01 kg/m(2) per decade; 95% credible interval -0·42 to 0·39, posterior probability [PP] of the observed decrease being a true decrease=0·5098) in eastern Europe to an increase of 1·00 kg/m(2) per decade (0·69-1·35, PP>0·9999) in central Latin America and an increase of 0·95 kg/m(2) per decade (0·64-1·25, PP>0·9999) in Polynesia and Micronesia. The range for boys was from a non-significant increase of 0·09 kg/m(2) per decade (-0·33 to 0·49, PP=0·6926) in eastern Europe to an increase of 0·77 kg/m(2) per decade (0·50-1·06, PP>0·9999) in Polynesia and Micronesia. Trends in mean BMI have recently flattened in northwestern Europe and the high-income English-speaking and Asia-Pacific regions for both sexes, southwestern Europe for boys, and central and Andean Latin America for girls. By contrast, the rise in BMI has accelerated in east and south Asia for both sexes, and southeast Asia for boys. Global age-standardised prevalence of obesity increased from 0·7% (0·4-1·2) in 1975 to 5·6% (4·8-6·5) in 2016 in girls, and from 0·9% (0·5-1·3) in 1975 to 7·8% (6·7-9·1) in 2016 in boys; the prevalence of moderate and severe underweight decreased from 9·2% (6·0-12·9) in 1975 to 8·4% (6·8-10·1) in 2016 in girls and from 14·8% (10·4-19·5) in 1975 to 12·4% (10·3-14·5) in 2016 in boys. Prevalence of moderate and severe underweight was highest in India, at 22·7% (16·7-29·6) among girls and 30·7% (23·5-38·0) among boys. Prevalence of obesity was more than 30% in girls in Nauru, the Cook Islands, and Palau; and boys in the Cook Islands, Nauru, Palau, Niue, and American Samoa in 2016. Prevalence of obesity was about 20% or more in several countries in Polynesia and Micronesia, the Middle East and north Africa, the Caribbean, and the USA. In 2016, 75 (44-117) million girls and 117 (70-178) million boys worldwide were moderately or severely underweight. In the same year, 50 (24-89) million girls and 74 (39-125) million boys worldwide were obese.

    INTERPRETATION: The rising trends in children's and adolescents' BMI have plateaued in many high-income countries, albeit at high levels, but have accelerated in parts of Asia, with trends no longer correlated with those of adults.

    Comparison of actigraphy-measured and parent-reported sleep in association with weight status among preschool children2024In: Journal of Sleep Research, ISSN 0962-1105, E-ISSN 1365-2869, Vol. 33, no 1, article id e13960Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This study compared weekday and weekend actigraphy-measured and parent-reported sleep in relation to weight status among preschool-aged children. Participants were 3–6 years old preschoolers from the cross-sectional DAGIS-study with sleep data for ≥2 weekday and ≥2 weekend nights. Parents-reported sleep onset and wake-up times were gathered alongside 24 h hip-worn actigraphy. An unsupervised Hidden-Markov Model algorithm provided actigraphy-measured night time sleep without the guidance of reported sleep times. Waist-to-height ratio and age-and-sex-specific body mass index characterised weight status. Comparison of methods were assessed with consistency in quintile divisions and Spearman correlations. Associations between sleep and weight status were assessed with adjusted regression models. Participants included 638 children (49% girls) with a mean ± SD age of 4.76 ± 0.89. On weekdays, 98%–99% of actigraphy-measured and parent-reported sleep estimates were classified in the same or adjacent quintile and were strongly correlated (rs = 0.79–0.85, p < 0.001). On weekends, 84%–98% of actigraphy-measured and parent-reported sleep estimates were respectively classified and correlations were moderate to strong (rs = 0.62–0.86, p < 0.001). Compared with actigraphy-measured sleep, parent-reported sleep had consistently earlier onset, later wake-up, and greater duration. Earlier actigraphy-measured weekday sleep onset and midpoint were associated with a higher body mass index (respective β-estimates: −0.63, p < 0.01 and −0.75, p < 0.01) and waist-to-height ratio (−0.004, p = 0.03 and −0.01, p = 0.02). Though the sleep estimation methods were consistent and correlated, actigraphy measures should be favoured as they are more objective and sensitive to identifying associations between sleep timing and weight status compared with parent reports.

    Religionsanpassade skolmåltider: En kvalitativ intervjustudie med ledande personer inom kommunala måltidsverksamheter2019Independent thesis Basic level (Higher Education Diploma (Fine Arts)), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [sv]

    Introduktion: Inom religioner har mat en central roll. Alla barn ska erbjudas bra mat i skolan, även barn som definierar sig med religioner. Skolmåltiden påverkar eleverna på flera sätt och är därför viktiga för dem.

    Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur ledande personer inom kommunala måltidsverksamheter uppfattar hanteringen av religionsanpassad kost på kommunala grundskolor.

    Metod: En kvalitativ studiemetod användes. Fem semistrukturerade intervjuer utfördes med hjälp av en intervjuguide. De transkriberade intervjuerna analyserades genom tematisk analys.

    Resultat: Deltagarnas uppfattning kring regelverk är att det finns många politiska beslut som ska tas hänsyn till vid planering av skolmåltider, inte minst vid planering av religionsanpassade måltider. Den största religiösa anpassningen som görs vid skolmåltiderna är enligt deltagarna att servera "minus fläsk", mat utan innehåll av fläskkött. Andra religiösa anpassningar som att servera halalslaktat kött eller koshermat görs inte, utan eleverna hänvisas till det vegetariska alternativet vid dessa tillfällen. Generellt finns en åsikt bland deltagarna att skolmaten ska vara neutral och fri från religiösa åskådningar.

    Konklusion: Utifrån perspektivet från fem ledande personer inom kommunala måltidsverksamheter ses att kommunala skolmåltider ofta styrs av politiska beslut vilket även påverkar de religionsanpassade måltiderna. Generellt ses att måltidsaktörerna gör sitt yttersta för att hitta en balans i religionsanpassningen, vilket vid en del tillfällen har lett till upprörda elever och föräldrar. God kommunikation mellan parterna visar dock att eventuella konflikter löser sig vid förklaring av anpassningarna. Att det finns en vilja till att ha en religionsneutral miljö i skolmatsalarna ses vid firandet av högtider då alla deltagare upplever att högtiderna som uppmärksammas är svenska traditioner och inte kopplade till någon religion.

    Dietistens reflektioner kring konsistensanpassad kost och viktiga faktorer för implementeringen av International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative (IDDSI) inom sjukvården: en kvalitativ intervjustudie2021Independent thesis Basic level (professional degree), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [sv]

    Introduktion: År 2013 skapades ett internationellt verktyg med ny standardiserad terminologi för att beskriva konsistensanpassad kost, International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative (IDDSI). Denna terminologi översattes till svenska och anpassades kulturellt år 2020 och har därefter börjat implementeras kliniskt inom vården samt inom forskning i Sverige. Verktyget berör främst arbetet med dysfagi, en vård där dietisten har en viktig roll.

    Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka dietisters reflektioner kring arbetet med konsistensanpassad kost och implementeringen av IDDSI.

    Metod: Kvalitativa semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med sju dietister från fyra olika sjukhus i Stockholms region. Intervjuerna transkriberades och analyserades utifrån en tematisk analys.

    Resultat: De två teman som identifierades i analysen var utmaningar vid konsistensanpassning och ansvarsfördelning. Det första temat hade underkategorierna brist i kommunikation, restriktivitet vid IDDSI och sensorisk måltidsupplevelse medan det andra temat hade underkategorierna ledarskap, interprofessionellt samarbete, dietistens roll inom livsmedelssäkerhet- och hygien samt organisationer. Resultatet visade att dietisterna upplevde en begreppsförvirring med tidigare klassificering och att det fanns ett behov av en standardiserad terminologi. Dietisterna såg sig själva som en del i implementeringen, men ett ansvar lades även på logopeder, ledning och yttre organisationer.

    Slutsats: Dietisterna beskrev en svårighet i att uppnå hög sensorisk kvalitet vid konsistensanpassad kost. Vidare sågs ett behov av en standardiserad terminologi för konsistensanpassning för att förbättra kommunikationen och öka patientsäkerheten. Dock sågs svårigheter i klassificering av IDDSI samt en risk för restriktivitet hos patienterna. Ledning, engagemang och det interprofessionella samarbetet sågs som ledande framgångsfaktorer i implementeringen men också som potentiella hinder. Dietisterna såg ett behov av utbildning och kunskap både inom den egna professionen och hos personal på avdelning. Samarbetet mellan dietist och logoped lyftes som en central faktor för implementeringen men hur inkluderad dietisten upplevde sig vara i det interprofessionella arbetet varierade.

    Konsumenters acceptans av ravioli innehållandes sockertång: En kvantitativ studie2024Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [sv]

    Introduktion: Ökad medvetenhet om hållbarhet har ökat efterfrågan på hälsosamma och miljövänliga livsmedel. Trots fördelarna med växtbaserade alternativ har många köttätare i Europa en negativ inställning till dem. För att möta utmaningarna med befolkningstillväxt och matförsörjning är det viktigt att öka medvetenheten om livsmedelsproduktion. Tång, ett näringsrikt och hållbart proteinalternativ, har potential att bidra till en mer hållbar kost. Konsumentacceptansen för tång påverkas av smak, hälso och miljöfördelar, samt rädsla förnya livsmedel. För att öka acceptansen av tång och andra växtbaserade alternativ är det viktigt att inkludera konsumentperspektivet i produktutvecklingen. Uppsatsen undersöker konsumenternas attityder till tång i samarbete med ett lokalt företag som tillverkar pasta.

    Syfte: Studien syftar till att undersöka konsumenters acceptans för pasta med tång genom att produktutveckla en ravioli med tångfyllning och utvärdera konsumenternas respons för att möjliggöra fortsatt utveckling av proteinrika, tångbaserade livsmedel.

    Metod: Produktutvecklingen av grundrecept till en fylld ravioli gjordes med hjälp av faktorielldesign. Ett konsumenttest genomfördes därefter genom att deltagarna fick provsmaka två prover av raviolin samt fylla i en enkät. Resultaten från enkäten och smaktestet analyserades både deskriptivt och med ett Wilcoxon tecken-rangtest med hjälp av programmet Jamovi.

    Resultat: Studien inkluderade 64 deltagare, med en majoritet kvinnor (73,4%) och en genomsnittlig ålder på 27 år. Resultaten från acceptanstestet visade att provet med lägre mängd tång (014) hade högre acceptans än det med högre mängd (830), men det fanns ingen signifikantskillnad i acceptans. Vid preferenstestet föredrog majoriteten av deltagarna prov 014 framförprov 830, även bland de som hade erfarenhet av att äta tång tidigare.

    Slutsats: Studien undersökte konsumenters acceptans för tångfylld ravioli genom ett produkt- och konsumenttest. Resultatet visade hög acceptans och liknande preferenser mellan dem med och utan erfarenhet av tång, vilket visar på en potentiell marknad för produkten.

    SMART2D-development and contextualization of community strategies to support self-management in prevention and control of type 2 diabetes in Uganda, South Africa, and Sweden2020In: Translational Behavioral Medicine, ISSN 1869-6716, E-ISSN 1613-9860, Vol. 10, no 1, p. 25-34Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Type 2 diabetes (T2D) and its complications are increasing rapidly in low- and middle-income countries, as well as among socioeconomically disadvantaged populations in high-income countries. Support for healthy lifestyle and self-management is paramount but not well implemented in health systems, and there is need for knowledge on how to design and implement interventions that are contextualized and patient centered and address special needs of disadvantaged population groups. The SMART2D project implements and evaluates a lifestyle and self-management intervention for participants recently diagnosed with or being at increased risk for T2D in rural communities in Uganda, an urban township in South Africa, and socioeconomically disadvantaged urban communities in Sweden. Our aim was to develop an intervention with shared key functions and a good fit with the local context, needs, and resources. The intervention program design was conducted in three steps facilitated by a coordinating team: (a) situational analysis based on the SMART2D Self-Management Framework and definition of intervention objectives and core strategies; (b) designing generic tools for the strategies; and (c) contextual translation of the generic tools and their delivery. This article focuses on community strategies to strengthen support from the social and physical environment and to link health care and community support. Situational analyses showed that objectives and key functions addressing mediators from the SMART2D framework could be shared. Generic tools ensured retaining of functions, while content and delivery were highly contextualized. Phased, collaborative approach and theoretical framework ensured that key functions were not lost in contextualization, also allowing for cross-comparison despite flexibility with other aspects of the intervention between the sites.

    FODMAP i praktiken: En kvalitativ intervjustudie om dietisters uppfattning och erfarenheter av FODMAP2014Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [sv]

    BAKGRUND FODMAP är en behandlingsmetod för IBS som kommer från Australien och som är relativt ny i Sverige. FODMAP betyder Fermentable Oligo-, Di- and Monosacharides and Polyols och går ut på att begränsa mängden fermenterbara kolhydrater i kosten. Dessa kolhydrater har i studier visat sig kunna orsaka många av de symptom som IBS-patienter lider av och att så många som 3 av 4 av de patienter som testar behandlingen får reducerade symptom.

    SYFTE Syftet med studien var att undersöka och belysa dietisters erfarenheter, uppfattning och hantering av FODMAP.

    METOD Kvalitativa intervjuer baserade på en semistrukturerad frågeguide genomfördes. Totalt 12 dietister intervjuades och samtalen skedde via personliga besök eller telefon. Intervjuerna spelades in för att sedan transkriberas. Samtalen analyserades genom kvalitativ innehållsanalys.

    RESULTAT Dietisterna hade olika lång erfarenhet av att jobba med FODMAP. Metoden beskrevs som strukturerad och tydlig och kan ge goda resultat. De flesta hade kommit i kontakt med metoden via praktik, jobb eller föreläsningar. Dietisterna jobbar antingen med enskilda samtal eller med grupper. Problem kan uppstå med att metoden kan uppfattas som krånglig för patienten, att den endast fokuserar på kolhydrater och inte på andra möjliga orsaker såsom stress och andra näringsämnen som kan ge symptom samt med att dietisterna själva inte kallar patienten utan får dem remitterade från läkare. Inga problem ses med näringsintag så länge strikt behandling enbart sker på kort sikt. Få dietister tittade på ett vidare hälsoperspektiv. Den viktigaste faktorn för en lyckad behandling var motivation och följsamhet från patienten.

    SLUTSATS Vid arbete med FODMAP behövs goda kunskaper och erfarenhet samt god tillgång till fungerande rutiner och resurser. För att kunna utföra en adekvat behandling krävs även en stark motivation och följsamhet hos patienten. En lyckad behandling ökar motivationen hos dietister att arbeta med behandlingen. Vår studie ger indikationer om att de dietister som har goda kunskaper, hög motivation samt erfarenhet av FODMAP är positiva till behandlingen och har lättare för att hitta lösningar på de problem som uppstår. Övergripande hälsoaspekter och probiotika behöver lyftas fram och tillföras som en del av behandlingen. Mer forskning och utbildning behövs för en klarare bild av hur FODMAP bäst ska tillämpas som behandlingsmetod.

    Food Related Activities and Food Intake in Everyday Life among People with Intellectual Disabilities2010Doctoral thesis, comprehensive summary (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    The aim of this thesis was to study food, eating and meals in the everyday life of 32 women and men with intellectual disabilities (IDs) who require varying levels of supervision. They lived in supported living (rather independently) or group homes in community-based home-like settings. Observations during 3 days, assisted food records and anthropometric measurements were used to collect data. Dietary intake on the group level showed a varied diet and sufficient intake of all micronutrients, but a low dietary fibre intake. On the individual level, inadequate intake of micronutrients was observed, with many participants being obese, overweight or underweight. Everyday support with food, eating and meals was seen in four praxis: foodwork by oneself for oneself, foodwork in co-operation, foodwork disciplined by staff and foodwork by staff. These four practices resulted in large variations in dietary intake. The first praxis entailed more convenience food and less vitamins, the second and third, more fresh ingredients and high energy intake, and the fourth, low energy intake but rather high intake of vitamins. Sharing of meals was least common in supported living and more common in group homes and daily activity centres. The participants’ social eating spheres consisted mostly of other people with ID and staff members, and seldom other people. Whereas some preferred solitary eating, many participants considered eating together as important, but required staff support in establishing commensality. However, disturbing behaviour, as determined by the staff, could result in solitary eating. In conclusion, supporting the group rather than the individual sometimes created less favourable dietary, eating and meal outcomes. This problem needs to be addressed in order to establish food security at the individual level. In addition, actions should be taken to ensure that people with intellectual disabilities receive sufficient support to meet their individual needs and aspirations.

    Background: Knowledge is lacking about dietary habits among people with intellectual disability (ID) living in community residences under new living conditions.

    Objective: To describe the dietary habits of individuals with ID living in community residences, focusing on intake of food, energy and nutrients as well as meal patterns.

    Design: Assisted food records and physical activity records over a 3-day observation period for 32 subjects.

    Results: Great variation was observed in daily energy intake (4.9-14 MJ) dispersed across several meals, with on average 26% of the energy coming from in-between-meal consumption. Main energy sources were milk products, bread, meat products, buns and cakes. The daily intake of fruit and vegetables (320_221 g) as well as dietary fiber (21_99.6 g) was generally low. For four vitamins and two minerals, 19-34% of subjects showed an intake below average requirement (AR). The physical activity level (PAL) was low for all individuals (1.4_0.1).

    Conclusion: A regular meal pattern with a relatively high proportion of energy from in-between-meal eating occasions and a low intake of especially fruits were typical of this group of people with ID. However, the total intake of energy and other food items varied a great deal between individuals. Thus, every adult with ID has to be treated as an individual with specific needs. A need for more knowledge about food in general and particularly how fruit and vegetables could be included in cooking as well as encouraged to be eaten as inbetween-meals seems imperative in the new living conditions for adults with ID.

    Abstract [en]

    The food provision for people with intellectual disability (ID) in Sweden is organized within their own households. The aim of this study was to describe how foodwork – planning for meals, shopping for food and cooking – is performed in different social contexts in community settings involving people with ID, staff or both. Dietary intake in the main meals in relation to foodwork practice was also studied. Four different foodwork practices could be distinguished. For some participants only one kind of foodwork practice was found, but for most of them two or more different practices. There was a tendency that food items and dishes chosen and used differed depending on what foodwork practice was performed, which, in turn, affected the nutrient intake. More attention needs to be directed to these everyday matters as a means to increase the quality of support in food for people with ID.

    Abstract [en]

    Background:

    In Sweden, a process involving the deinstitutionalisation of services and the establishment of community-based settings for people with intellectual disability has meant changes in meal arrangements. In the present study, we focus on the social arrangements of meals in community-based settings.

    Method:

    Participant observations were used to study the meals as social events for 32 participants, 9 of whom lived in supported living and 23 in group homes.

    Results:

    Breakfast and dinner were often eaten alone, while lunch at the daily activity centre and the food eaten between meals snacks were mostly shared with other people. Meals for participants in supported living were seldom social, and meals for participants in the group homes often hierarchical.

    Conclusion:

    The participants were often limited in choosing their company at meals, which typically consisted of other people with intellectual disability and staff. If they made such choices, they were dependent upon staff support to realise them.

    Äldres rapporterade tilltro till egen handlingsförmåga, avsikt och handlingsplanering för att äta enligt Livsmedelsverkets kostråd för frukt och grönsaker samt fisk2016Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [sv]

    Bakgrund: Sverige har ett växande antal äldre medborgare vars medellivslängd ökar. Det blir allt viktigare att förebygga ohälsosamma matvanor hos äldre för att de ska kunna leva inte bara längre, utan också friskare liv så långt det är möjligt.

    Syfte: Syftet var att undersöka äldres kännedom om och följsamhet till Livsmedelsverkets kostråd för frukt och grönsaker samt fisk. Vidare var syftet att undersöka den rapporterade tilltron till egen handlingsförmåga, avsikt och handlingsplanering hos äldre i ordinärt boende att äta enligt dessa kostråd samt om det finns samband mellan samtliga ovan nämnda faktorer.

    Metod: Kvantitativ pappers och webbenkät delades ut efter ett bekvämlighetsurval. Tre ovannämnda faktorer av beteendeförändringsmodellen Health Action Process Approach (HAPA) undersöktes.

    Resultat: Enkäten besvarades av 210 personer. En stark majoritet (82,5%) hade kännedom om varför rekommendationer finns för frukt och grönt samt för fisk (87%). Endast ett fåtal (6%) rapporterade att de följde Livsmedelsverkets rekommendation om 5 portioner frukt och grönt per dag. Samtidigt rapporterade över hälften (52%) att de följde den rekommenderade mängden 2-3 portioner fisk i veckan. En majoritet av respondenterna angav att de hade en avsikt och även tilltro till egen handlingsförmåga att äta både frukt och grönt och fisk enligt rekommendationerna. Av respondenterna angav 43 % att de planerar för att äta frukt och grönt enligt rekommendationen om 5 portioner per dag och 50 % angav att de planerar för att äta fisk enligt rekommendationen om 2-3 portioner per vecka. Sambanden var svaga och positiva. Sex av dessa var statistiskt signifikanta (p<0,001).

    Slutsats: Majoriteten av de äldre rapporterade att de hade kännedom om kostråden samtidigt var det färre som rapporterade att de följde dessa. Majoriteten av de äldre har en hög rapporterad tilltro till egen handlingsförmåga och en hög rapporterad avsikt att äta enligt kostråden för både frukt och grönt samt fisk, men det var färre äldre som rapporterade att de handlingsplanerade för det. De svaga och positiva sambanden visar att det i princip inte fanns någon korrelation mellan faktorerna. En mera omfattande studie behövs för att undersöka om stärkande av respondenternas handlingsplanering skulle få flera att följa kostråden.

    Man kan inte jäkta en 90-åring: Hemtjänstpersonalens upplevelser och hantering av det matrelaterade arbetet hos äldre - En kvalitativ studie2019Independent thesis Basic level (professional degree), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [sv]

    Bakgrund: Andelen äldre är i idag en kraftigt växande grupp och med stigande ålder ökar risken för sjukdom och ohälsa, däribland undernäring. Hemtjänsten bistår äldre med personlig omvårdnad vilket kan innebära att äta, förflytta sig eller sköta personlig hygien och det är idag den typ av äldreomsorg som kommunerna främst prioriterar. Tidigare forskning visar att hemtjänstpersonalen upplever svårigheter i sitt arbete. Återkommande aspekter är tidsbrist, bristande kompetens, oklar ansvarsfördelning mellan kommun och primärvård samt äldre individer som lever i ensamhet.

    Syfte: Att undersöka hemtjänstpersonals upplevelser och hantering av det matrelaterade arbetet hos äldre.

    Metod: Sex kvalitativa intervjuer genomfördes med hemtjänstpersonal inom Stockholms stad. En semistrukturerad frågeguide användes vid intervjuerna och de transkriberade intervjuerna analyserades utifrån en kvalitativ innehållsanalys.

    Resultat: Studien visar på att personal inom hemtjänsten upplever flera utmaningar i sitt arbete. Brist på tid beskrivs som det största problemet. Utöver tidsbrist framkommer den äldre brukaren som lever i ensamhet samt äldres autonomitet som utmaningar. För att komma runt dessa använder sig personalen av olika typer av planering och förberedelser. Samtliga deltagare är engagerade i sitt arbete och känner ett ansvar för de äldres matintag.

    Slutsats: De utmaningar som hemtjänstpersonalen upplever inom arbetet bör uppmärksammas för att i framtiden kunna utveckla och förbättra det matrelaterade arbetet inom hemtjänsten och på så sätt minska förekomsten av undernäring.

    Practices in prescribing protein substitutes for PKU in Europe: No uniformity of approach2015In: Molecular Genetics and Metabolism, ISSN 1096-7192, E-ISSN 1096-7206, Vol. 115, no 1, p. 17-22Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Background: There appears little consensus concerning protein requirements in phenylketonuria (PKU). Methods: A questionnaire completed by 63 European and Turkish IMD centres from 18 countries collected data on prescribed total protein intake (natural/intact protein and phenylalanine-free protein substitute [PS]) by age, administration frequency and method, monitoring, and type of protein substitute. Data were analysed by European region using descriptive statistics. Results: The amount of total protein (from PS and natural/intact protein) varied according to the European region. Higher median amounts of total protein were prescribed in infants and children in Northern Europe (n = 24 centres) (infants <1 year, >2-3 g/kg/day; 1-3 years of age, >2-3 g/kg/day; 4-10 years of age, >1.5-2.5 g/kg/day) and Southern Europe (n = 10 centres) (infants <1 year, 2.5 g/kg/day, 1-3 years of age, 2 g/kg/day; 4-10 years of age, 1.5-2 g/kg/day), than by Eastern Europe (n = 4 centres) (infants <1 year, 2.5 g/kg/day, 1-3 years of age, >2-2.5 g/kg/day; 4-10 years of age, >1.5-2 g/kg/day) and with Western Europe (n = 25 centres) giving the least (infants <1 year, >2-2.5 g/kg/day, 1-3 years of age, 1.5-2 g/kg/day; 4-10 years of age, 1-1.5 g/kg/day). Total protein prescription was similar in patients aged >10 years (1-1.5 g/kg/day) and maternal patients (1-1.5 g/kg/day). Conclusions: The amounts of total protein prescribed varied between European countries and appeared to be influenced by geographical region. In PKU, all gave higher than the recommended 2007 WHO/FAO/UNU safe levels of protein intake for the general population.

    Bakgrund: Ett intresse hos konsumenter för mat kopplat till tarmfloran har setts av Livsmedelsverket. Fenomenet gut-brain axis har nyligen fått acceptans i forskarvärden. Sambandet mellan mage, tarm och psyket tyder på att gut-brain axis har inflytande på humör samt beteende.

    Syfte: Undersöka individers kännedom om och attityd till tarmflora och gut-brain axis med fokus på mental hälsa samt om konsumenter är villiga att välja livsmedel med betydelse för tarm- och mental hälsa.

    Metodbeskrivning:´Webbenkät delades via sociala medier. Frågorna gällde främst konsumenters attityd och kännedom kring tarmfloran. Svaren redovisas i figurer och tabeller. Chi-två tester i SPSS har genomförts.

    Resultat: 493 enkätsvar. Majoriteten av respondenterna har kännedom om en dubbelriktad kommunikation mellan hjärna och tarm. Kännedomen om begreppet gut-brain axis var låg, men det finns ett samband mellan kännedom om begreppet och utbildningsnivå samt ålder. Majoriteten hade kännedom om sambandet mellan kost, tarmflora och mental hälsa. Skepsis fanns beträffande livsmedel som marknadsfördes med påståendena “balanserar din tarmflora” respektive “förbättrar ditt mentala välmående” med lägre positiv attityd till påståendet om mentalt välmående.

    Slutsats: Den dubbelriktade kommunikationen mellan tarmen och hjärnan, samt den mentala hälsan, är bekant för konsumenten, dock inte begreppet gut-brain axis. Attityden till livsmedel med påståenden gällande tarmflora kopplat till mental hälsa är negativ. Kännedomen är fortfarande liten vad gäller fackbegrepp, men det finns stort intresse för att medvetet äta mat som balanserar tarmfloran. Vetenskaplig information gällande tarmfloran bör i framtiden på ett lätt sätt kommuniceras i större utsträckning till konsumenterna.

    Kasta eller konsumera?: En kvantitativ enkätstudie om matsvinnets intressekonflikter2024Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [sv]

    Bakgrund: Matsvinn är ett stort problem globalt och dess negativa konsekvenser uppskattas kosta 2,6 biljoner kronor årligen. Anledningarna till att matsvinn uppstår är många, vilket gör matsvinnsrelaterade beteenden komplexa och intressekonflikter vanliga. Exempelvis kan viljan att minska matsvinnet ställas mot preferenser gällande livsmedelskvalitet eller oro för att drabbas av matförgiftning, där kunskaper spelar en viktig roll. I Sverige finns bristande kunskaper i livsmedelshantering främst bland unga vuxna mellan 18 och 29 år. 

    Syfte: Denna studie avser undersöka uppfattningar, kunskaper och beteenden relaterade till matsvinnets intressekonflikter bland konsumenter i åldrarna 18–29 år. 

    Metod: Kvantitativ webbaserad enkätstudie. Rekryteringen skedde via affischering och delning på digitala plattformar, vilket resulterade i 136 svar. Data bearbetades och analyserades statistiskt och redovisades med deskriptiv statistik och Chitvåtest. 

    Resultat: Majoriteten av respondenterna anser att det är viktigt att undvika matsvinn, bedömer sina kunskaper i säker livsmedelshantering som höga och har goda kunskaper i datummärkning. Samtliga respondenter tycker att en kylskåpstemperatur ≤8 °C är bra och de flesta tycker inte att det är okej att konsumera matrester som förvarats i kylen i mer än 6 dagar.

    Slutsats: Unga konsumenters uppfattningar kring kylskåpstemperatur och förvaringstid kan tänkas öka risken för att livsmedelskvaliteten försämras och att matsvinn uppstår snarare än att livsmedelssäkerheten äventyras. Konsumenterna har goda kunskaper gällande datummärkningar men agerar inte alltid i enlighet med dem, vilket kan innebära en hälsorisk. Vidare forskning bör lyfta fler faktorer för att få en djupare förståelse för de intressekonflikter som kan uppstå.

    The evaluation process of nutrition interventions for patients at risk of malnutrition: From a person-centred perspective2023Doctoral thesis, comprehensive summary (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    This thesis is aimed at exploring the process of evaluating nutrition interventions for patients at risk of malnutrition from a person-centred perspective. 

    An explorative cross-sectional study was conducted based on data from the International Nutrition Care Process and Terminology Implementation Survey (INIS). Associations between the reported documentation of goals and outcomes and the reported implementation of the nutrition care process and its terminology, demographic factors, and factors associated with the workplace were explored. Responses were received from 347 Scandinavian dietitians. Strong associations were found between the implementation of nutrition monitoring and evaluation terminology and the documentation of goals and outcomes. Standardisation may support the documentation of goals and outcomes, and improve nutrition monitoring and evaluation. 

    Focus group interviews were held with Swedish dietitians working in hospital and primary healthcare settings. The dietitians’ reflections on the process of nutrition monitoring and evaluation (Paper II) and the goal-setting process (Paper III) with patients at risk of malnutrition in nutrition intervention were explored. A lack of routine and structure in the process of evaluation and a lack of shared decision-making (SDM) in goal-setting was found. Dietitians described qualitative subjective outcomes as being most important to patients but that these are only implied in the nutrition intervention. They highlighted discrepancies between their clinically oriented goals and the patients’ own goals. The clarification of patients’ perspectives in the evaluation process is necessary to promote person-centredness, improve communication, and support the evidence-informed practice of nutrition intervention.

    An interview study with patients at risk of malnutrition was conducted. Patients’ experiences, perspectives and needs concerning goals in nutrition intervention were explored. Patients rarely reflected on goals in nutrition interventions, instead they described striving towards increased strength and energy. Goal-setting is part of the dietitian’s structured way of working, while the patient’s life-world is complex and unstructured. Elucidating patients’ goals may counteract the discrepancies between the dietitians’ clinically oriented goals and patients’ perspectives.

    In summary, this thesis highlights the need for tools and strategies for the improvement of the evaluation process in nutrition intervention. The person-centred practice of the evaluation process is described in this thesis as key to improving this process. This can be achieved through exploring what matters to patients in terms of perspectives, goals, and priorities, creating partnerships through involving patients in goal-setting and communicating feedback, and documenting and evaluating outcomes that are meaningful to patients.

    Abstract [en]

    Background

    The documentation of goals and outcomes of nutrition care in Electronic Health Records is insufficient making further exploration of this of particular interest. Identifying common features in documentation practice among Scandinavian dietitians might provide information that can support improvement in this area.

    Aims

    To explore the associations between clinical dietitians' self-reported documentation of patients' goals and outcomes and demographic factors, self-reported implementation of the systematic framework the Nutrition Care Process 4th step (NCP) and its associated terminology, and factors associated with the workplace.

    Methods

    Data from a cross-sectional study based on a previously tested web-based survey (INIS) disseminated in 2017 to dietitians in Scandinavia (n = 494) was used. Respondents were recruited through e-mail lists, e-newsletters and social media groups for dietitians. Associations between countries regarding the reported documentation of goals and outcomes, implementation levels of the NCP 4th step, demographic information and factors associated with the workplace were measured through Chi-square test. Associations between dependent- and independent variables were measured through logistic regression analysis.

    Results

    Clinically practicing dietitians (n = 347) working in Scandinavia, Sweden (n = 249), Norway (n = 60), Denmark (n = 38), who had completed dietetic education participated. The reported documentation of goals and outcomes from nutrition intervention was highly associated with the reported implementation of NCP 4th step terminology (OR = 5.26; p = 0.009, OR = 3.56; p = 0.003), support from the workplace (OR = 4.0, p < 0.001, OR = 8.89, p < 0.001) and area of practice (OR = 2.02, p = 0.017). Years since completed dietetic training and educational level did not have any significant associations with documentation practice regarding goals and outcomes.

    Conclusion

    Findings highlight strong associations between the implementation of the NCP 4th step terminology and the documentation of goals and outcomes. Strategies to support dietitians in using standardized terminology and the development of tools for comprehensive documentation of evaluation of goals and outcome are required.

    Abstract [en]

    BACKGROUND: Nutrition care plays a significant role in the prevention and treatment of malnutrition, although the challenge to establish the precise impact of a nutrition intervention on patient outcomes remains. Malnutrition can be associated with diverse underlying diseases and an increased risk of complications, which increases the difficulty of monitoring and evaluating the nutrition intervention. The aim is to gain an understanding of dietitians' reflections concerning nutrition care outcomes of interventions in patients at risk of malnutrition.

    METHODS: Six semi-structured audio-recorded focus group discussions with registered dietitians from primary healthcare and hospitals (n = 29) in Sweden were held at the dietitians' place of work or at the University. Focus group transcripts were analysed thematically to reveal patterns in the data and identify themes and subthemes.

    RESULTS: The dietitians described an approach to nutrition monitoring and evaluation of patients at risk of malnutrition that was categorised into three themes: (i) quantitative explicit outcomes, based on objective measures and described as rigorous; (ii) quantitative estimated outcomes, based on estimates and described as less rigorous and (iii) qualitative implicit outcomes, based on patients' subjective perceptions and experiences of their health and described as difficult to measure.

    CONCLUSIONS: Findings indicate the need for new strategies to promote systematic and comprehensive nutrition monitoring and evaluation.

    Abstract [en]

    Objective: Setting goals collaboratively with patients is a key aspect in shared decision-making (SDM) in malnutrition interventions. The aim, therefore, was to gain an understanding of clinical dietitians' reflections regarding the process of goal-setting with patients at risk of malnutrition.

    Methods: Six semi-structured audio-recorded focus group discussions were held with registered dietitians (n = 29) from primary healthcare and hospitals in Sweden. Focus group transcripts were analysed thematically to find patterns in the data and identify themes.

    Results: Dietitians expressed striving to explore patients' narratives, capabilities, and resources before deciding on goals. They described different strategies in counseling patients and a lack of patient participation in the goal setting. They emphasized the difficulties of setting feasible goals due to discrepancies between their clinically oriented goals and patients' personal goals.

    Conclusion: Findings highlight a gap in the process of setting goals for patients at risk of malnutrition, where patients' participation was lacking. Education in SDM, and strategies and tools to support dietitians in involving patients in goal-setting, are required to bridge the gap and promote person-centeredness. Practice implications: Findings may be further used to develop tools and strategies, and design studies on the implementation of and education in SDM and goal-setting for malnutrition interventions.

    Abstract [en]

    Aims: Nutrition counselling is characterized by a collaborative approach whereby the patient and the dietitian establish goals that promote health and self-management.  Little is known about goal-setting in nutrition interventions of patients at risk of malnutrition. This study describes the perspectives and needs of patients at risk of malnutrition regarding goals of nutrition interventions.

    Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 15 patients from three primary care centres and one hospital in mid-Sweden. Interview transcripts were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis to identify themes and patterns in the data. 

    Results: Findings highlight that the participants rarely reflected on their personal goals of the nutrition intervention. Instead, they strived to maintain strength and energy, with the nutrition counselling being seen as supportive in managing nutrition impact symptoms. They described discrepancies between their perspectives and the dietitian’s regarding weight goals and the diet prescribed to gain weight.

    Conclusion: Elucidating patients’ goals is key to counteracting the discrepancies between the dietitians’ clinically oriented goals and patients’ perspectives. New strategies and tools that support collaborative goal-setting in nutrition interventions are needed to provide person-centred nutrition care.
