Data were analysed using inductive content analysis.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n Nineteen interviews were included (mean age 64\u2009years (standard deviation \u00b117), 10 female (53%), 12 malnourished (63%)). Four categories were identified. \u2018Variation in patients' recognition of malnutrition\u2019 represents the differing abilities of patients to understand and identify with the term \u2018malnutrition\u2019. \u2018Recognising individuals' needs and preferences\u2019 highlights patients' varying beliefs regarding whether \u2018malnutrition\u2019 is or is not an appropriate term and participants' suggestion that health workers should tailor the term used to each patient. \u2018Inconsistencies in health workers' and patients' practice regarding malnutrition terminology\u2019 encapsulates the multiple terms that were used to describe malnutrition by health workers and patients. \u2018Importance of malnutrition education\u2019 summarises patients' views that health workers should provide patient education on malnutrition prevention, management and complications.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n Findings highlight variations in patients' perceptions and understanding of the term \u2018malnutrition\u2019 and differences in the terms used by patients and health workers to describe malnutrition.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Implications for the Profession and\/or Patient Care<\/jats:title>\n The terminology used by health workers to describe malnutrition risk or malnutrition to their patients can influence patients' recognition of their nutritional status and thus the multidisciplinary management of the condition. To ensure that patients receive information about their malnutrition risk or diagnosis in a way that meets their needs, health workers' practices must be revised. To do this, it is imperative to conduct further collaborative research with patients and health workers to identify optimum terms for \u2018malnutrition\u2019 and how health workers should communicate this to patients.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Impact<\/jats:title>\n \n \n \n There is a disparity in patients' perceptions, understanding and preferences for the term \u2018malnutrition\u2019 and there are inconsistencies in how health workers communicate malnutrition to patients.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:list-item>\n \n To support patients' recognition and understanding of their nutritional status, it is imperative for health workers to consider how they discuss malnutrition with patients.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:list-item>\n <\/jats:list>\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Reporting Method<\/jats:title>\n Adheres to the Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research (Tong et\u00a0al.,\u00a02007).<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Patient or Public Contribution<\/jats:title>\n No Patient or Public Contribution.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jocn.17175","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,17]],"date-time":"2024-04-17T07:10:44Z","timestamp":1713337844000},"page":"3236-3246","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Exploring adult inpatients' perceptions, understanding and preferences regarding the term \u2018malnutrition\u2019: A qualitative study"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"33","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0784-6458","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sarah","family":"Mackay","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Health Services Research The University of Queensland Brisbane Queensland Australia"},{"name":"Nutrition and Dietetics The Prince Charles Hospital Chermside Queensland Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8460-0606","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Liliana","family":"Botero","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Human Movement and Nutrition Sciences The University of Queensland Brisbane Queensland Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7217-3635","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jack","family":"Bell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Human Movement and Nutrition Sciences The University of Queensland Brisbane Queensland Australia"},{"name":"Allied Health Research Collaborative The Prince Charles Hospital Chermside Queensland Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4498-4342","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Adrienne","family":"Young","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Health Services Research The University of Queensland Brisbane Queensland Australia"},{"name":"Dietetics and Food Services Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital Herston Queensland Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_13_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S2213\u20108587(20)30102\u20109"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.pec.2020.06.007"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjopen\u20102019\u2010035339"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_5_1","unstructured":"Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care.
