Peer reviewedAkerlund, Britt Mari; Norberg, Astrid – Omega: Journal of Death and Dying, 1990
Interviewed five caregiving nursing staff members involved in dementia care concerning their ambivalent feelings toward spoon-feeding a severely demented patient. Although tube-feeding was regarded as an easier way to provide nourishment, spoon-feeding was preferred because it provided more human contact and love. (Author/NB)
