The study purpose was to determine if mealtime difficulties in hospitalized PWD are being adequately recognized by nurses and if higher cognitive functioning in PWD is an influencing factor in under-recognition of mealtime difficulties. The aims of the study: 1) identify the level of agreement between RN subjective and objective assessment with the Feeding Abilities Assessment (FAA) and the Edinburgh Feeding Evaluation in Dementia Scale (EdFED) of mealtime difficulties during inpatient assessment, 2) determine if there is an agreement between the two objective tools, and 3) determine if RN subjective identification of mealtime difficulties differs among the Mini Mental State Exam (MMSE-2) categorical levels of cognition (normal, moderate, or severe) in PWD. An exploratory design was used with a convenience sample of 50 PWD recruited from acute care medical/surgical units in two hospitals by 40 RN subjects during a single study meal. There was a moderate level of agreement between RN subjective assessment results and the objective FAA tool (&tgr;=0.59, p= 0.0001). There was moderate agreement between the EdFED tool and both the RN assessment (&tgr;=0.35, p=.002) and the FAA (&tgr;=0.64, p=0.000). The FAA tool and RN assessments each had strong association at EdFED scores 7 and above, but the likelihood of association ranged 0%-66% at EdFED scores 1-6. Study findings indicate the EdFED tool was most precise in detecting mealtime difficulties in PWD. An incidental finding was 30-day readmissions in 30% of missed mealtime difficulty assessments by RNs and FAA. RN subjective assessment was consistent among the MMSE-2 levels of cognition, normal, moderate, or severe (p=0.9). Inpatient settings should consider adopting the EdFED tool for assessment of mealtime difficulties in PWD.
