“…To understand the impact of the practice change initiative on outcomes associated with the mealtime experience, multiple mealtime observations were completed with the Mealtime Scan (MTS) (Keller, Awwad, Morrison, & Chaudhury, 2019). This observational tool is a valid and reliable assessment that measures the psychosocial environment, as well as physical aspects of a dining environment that impact the mealtime experience (Iuglio et al, 2018;Keller, Chaudhury, Pfisterer, & Slaughter, 2018).…”

The MTS+ provides further detailed observation on the social environment and improved scaling to promote responsiveness on repeat measurement (Keller et al, 2019). The MTS+ includes four summative scales that assess (1) the physical environment, (2) the social environment, (3) person/ relationship-centred care, and (4) the overall quality of the dining environment.…”

“…These observations were done for the duration of the mealtime (usually 30-60 minutes). As recommended for MTS+ (Keller et al, 2019), the same assessor (E.D.) completed all assessments throughout the study to promote consistency.…”

Person-centred care is recognized as best practice in dementia care. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a stakeholder engagement practice change initiative aimed at increasing the provision of person-centred mealtimes in a residential care home (RCH). A single-group, time series design was used to assess the impact of the practice change initiative on mealtime environment across four time periods (pre-intervention, 1-month, 3-month, and 6-month follow-up). Statistically significant improvements were noted in all mealtime environment scales by 6 months, including the physical environment (z = -3.06, p = 0.013), social environment (z = -3.69, p = 0.001), relationship and person-centred scale (z = -3.51, p = 0.003), and overall environment scale (z = -3.60, p = 0.002). This practice change initiative, which focused on enhancing stakeholder engagement, provided a feasible method for increasing the practice of person-centred care during mealtimes in an RCH through the application of supportive leadership, collaborative decision making, and staff engagement.

BackgroundPerson-centred care (PCC) is described as a care philosophy in which a positive relationship is established between a resident and staff member that respects the care recipient's preferences and life history, honours identity, and enables engagement in meaningful activity (Fazio et al., 2018). Research in long-term care (LTC) homes demonstrates that interventions aimed at increasing the provision of PCC, but not addressing contextual and system issues (e.g., deeply rooted care routines and regulatory standards that impede individuality, resident choice and staff flexibility), most often fail (Caspar et al., 2016). There is growing evidence demonstrating that the implementation of PCC in practice requires a multilevel, systems approach (Brooker, 2007;Evans, 2017). Review of the literature indicates that the following organizational factors may be especially salient in their ability to influence the extent to which PCC is really improved in practice:1. The presence of leaders and managers who embrace a leadership style of 'supporting and valuing staff' combined with being 'responsive to staff needs' and offering 'solution-focused approaches' to care decisions (Caspar et al., 2017a;Kirkley et al., 2011;McGilton, 2010;Sjogren et al., 2017). 2. The cultivation and implementation of empowered workforce practices that enable and encourage
