A world-first food service satisfaction questionnaire for use with family members of nursing home residents: expanding the toolkit of valid and reliable aged care food service satisfaction questionnaires.
Review in The journal of nutrition, health & aging, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesThis study aimed to develop a valid and reliable food service satisfaction questionnaire for use by family members of residents in nursing homes.
designQuestionnaire development and validation study conducted using COSMIN® benchmarks for excellence.
settingNursing homes.
participantsFamily members of residents in nursing homes. MEASUREMENTS: Content validity was established based on a review of the literature, qualitative interviews with family members (n = 9) and expert review (n = 10). Face validity was established in pilot testing with family members (n = 5). A 40-item questionnaire was developed for psychometric testing. Data from 414 family members was used to establish construct validity (Principal Components Analysis), with data from 101 of those family members used to evaluate reliability (internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha [α]) and temporal stability [weighted Kappa]).
resultsA two factor 24-item scale resulted, with excellent internal consistency (factor one: 11 items related to food and meals (α = 0.960); factor two: 13 items related to the mealtime experience (α = 0.907)). Temporal stability was moderate to near perfect (weighted Kappa: 0.461-0.875; p < 0.001).
conclusionThis world-first, valid and reliable, food service satisfaction questionnaire for use with family members of nursing home residents meets COSMIN® standards for excellence and complements the Flinders University resident and workforce food service satisfaction questionnaires also available for use in nursing homes.
