Course Content

This course is intended for nursing staff and other health care professionals (e.g. medicine) as well as students of health care studies. In this course, fundamental information is provided on the topic of malnutrition in the elderly, and methods used for screening and assessment are presented. One focal point of this course is prevention and intervention measures. In addition, the course focuses on the evaluation of these measures as well as multidisciplinary cooperation. All course content is based on guidelines, expert knowledge, results of a previously-conducted online questionnaire survey and the content of existing, international online courses. The course content has been prepared in accordance to practical application.

Course Goals

After the course, you have a solid background knowledge about malnutrition in the elderly. You will learn how malnourished people can be identified in different settings. You will learn appropriate intervention techniques for the prevention and treatment of malnutrition. In addition, you will learn how to evaluate the set measures and understand what you need to consider when taking part in a multidisciplinary collaboration.
