“…Among the 17 instruments identified to assess mealtime dyadic interactions, 16 were used in people with a specified dementia diagnosis, and one was developed and tested in long‐term care residents with and without dementia (Mealtime Social Interaction Measure for Long‐Term Care (MSILTC) 31 ). Among the 16 instruments that were used in the dementia population, 13 were originally developed in persons with dementia and their caregivers or partners, and three were not developed for but later used in persons with dementia and their caregivers (modified Nursing Child Assessment Scale (NCAS), 32,33 Feeding Assistance Observational Protocol (FAOP), 34–38 and Marital Interaction Coding System‐IV (MICS‐IV) 39,40 ). Among the 13 instruments that were originally developed in the dementia population and their caregivers or partners, eight were originally developed for mealtime care activities (Feeding Traceline Technique (FTT), 41–43 Trouble Source Repair (TSR), 44–46 Priefer and Robbins’ observation tool, 47 Altus et al .’s observation checklist, 48 Feeding Cycle Recording (FCR), 49 Levy‐Storms et al .’s observation tool, 50 the refined CUED mealtime video‐coding scheme, 11–13,16,17,51 and Gilmore‐Bykovskyi's coding scheme 52,53 ).…”
