They strongly agreed on the importance of addressing issues around food and mealtimes at the end of life, helping patients and families to understand that it is common to stop eating as death approaches. Advice to new colleagues focused mainly on physical care, with fewer registered nurses offering guidance on psychological, social, or existential dimensions. This study highlights the need for support in adopting a holistic approach to mealtimes in palliative care.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12904-025-01935-8","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,29]],"date-time":"2025-11-29T06:36:26Z","timestamp":1764398186000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Registered nurses\u2019 perceptions of food and mealtimes in palliative care: a cross-sectional study"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Viktoria","family":"Wallin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andreas","family":"Rosenblad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carina Lundh","family":"Hagelin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anna","family":"Klarare","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,29]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"1935_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12904-021-00810-6","volume":"20","author":"S Moran","year":"2021","unstructured":"Moran S, Bailey M, Doody O.
