Nutritional Norms in Long-term Care Analyzed from a Simmelean Perspective

Department of Sociology, University of Lund

When goals for assistance to a group are defined from 'the outside', what happens to the group members' own wishes? In the regulations concerning the food for elderly long-term-care patients in Swedish hospitals, the exact vitamins and nutrients which every meal should contain are indicated very precisely. What happens in this situation to the patients' own wishes? The question was actualized when the author conducted an interview study among long-term-care patients.
