ABSTRACT
Background:
Hospital food service plays an important role in a patient’s recovery process by providing adequate nutrients. On top of that, the patients’ food service satisfaction can easily be afflicted by the quality of food served and its overall food service experience. Furthermore, it is inevitable for malnutrition to happen from poor food service quality, especially among geriatric patients.
Objective:
This study aims to assess the effectiveness of the Malaysian geriatric patients’ hospital foodservice protocol (MY GERYFS)
Methods:
The protocol derived of three phases; phase 1 takes place at public hospitals with geriatric wards in the Klang Valley, phase two involves the collaboration of healthcare professionals in the geriatric field, and phase three determines the feasibility of MY GERYFS protocol in a hospital among 60 geriatric patients. These patients will be randomised into control and intervention groups respectively. Intervention care will be done to ensure the safety of the protocol.
Results:
Data collection is in progress and is expected complete and submit our results for publication by January 2023..
Conclusions:
This study protocol could potentially benefit the hospital food service system and aid in improving geriatric nutritional status. Clinical Trial: ClinicalTrial.gov with registration number 283284-331068 on 30th March 2021.
