Brief summary

This study was conducted to evaluate the psychometric properties, including interobserver agreement, of the Turkish version of the Edinburgh Feeding Evaluation in Dementia (EdFed) scale, which was developed to assess eating difficulties in patients with dementia.

Detailed description

Eating difficulties are common in dementia patients and can lead to malnutrition. Early detection and intervention of these difficulties is of great importance to minimise the negative effects. Therefore, a reliable and valid tool for assessing nutritional difficulties in dementia patients is needed.
