In order to help support malnourished older rehabilitation patients and their family carers, we conducted a longitudinal qualitative study using interpretative phenomenological analysis. Four female carers (n=2 daughters, n=2 wives) were interviewed during their loved ones rehabilitation admission and again two weeks after discharge. The semi-structured interviews were audiotaped, transcribed and analysed by three researchers, all Accredited Practising Dietitians. A series of “super-themes” relevant to the research question were agreed upon and discussed.

There is strong evidence showing malnutrition is under-recognized and underdiagnosed in the rehabilitation setting. Accurate identification and management of malnutrition is essential so that patient outcomes may be improved and resources used efficaciously.The Scored PG-SGA and MNA require evaluation of their validity in diagnosing malnutrition in rehabilitation. In addition, the prevalence of malnutrition and associated patient outcomes in rural Australian populations has not been reported.
