| Annotation | A review of research evidence was conducted to examine the impact of family style dining on the nutrition of older people and people with dementia in hospital and care home settings. Searches were carried out on databases, including Medline, Embase, CINAHL and HMIC. A total of 519 relevant abstracts were retrieved, but only ten studies met the all selection criteria. Critical appraisal of these studies found they did not offer high quality evidence to support the use of home-style dining, or that it could improve nutritional status. However, there were indications that it could offer improved nutrition and contribute to improved quality of life. (RH). |
