Abstract
Aims and objectives: To further develop and validate the Mealtime instrument, an observational instrument for assessing mealtime environments in nursing homes originating from the theoretical framework: Five Aspects Meal Model (FAMM).
Methodological design and justification: A mealtime experience is significant for a sense of well-being. In nursing homes, residents' personal preferences, combined with their diagnoses and different stages of illness, influence their mealtime experience and provide a complexity that has been found difficult to assess. Using FAMM, a theoretical framework as its base, this study, attempts to look at different parts of the mealtime environment. FAMM structures the mealtime environment in to five aspects: room, meeting, product, management control system and atmosphere. This study's design includes instrument development and validation.
Ethical issues and approval: This study has been approved by the Swedish Ethical Review Authority (dnr 2019-05477).
Design: Methodological study.
Research method: An existing instrument, the Mealtime instrument with FAMM as a theoretical framework, was used as a foundation for the development of the Five Aspects Mealtime Environment Observation Instrument (FAME-OI). Content validity index (CVI) was used to validate FAME-OI.
Results: FAME-OI's item-CVI, scale-CVI and modified Kappa displayed high validity. Changes were made in its structure and phrasing. These developments resulted in having a distinct structure in FAME-OI, in reference to FAMM.
Conclusion: FAME-OI is applicable for clinical use in nursing homes and in research; however, adjustments may be needed before its use in other health care facilities.
