Show abstract
Low-intake dehydration is prevalent among older adults, especially for those living in long-term care facilities (LTCFs). This paper presents findings from a mixed methods study of hydration knowledge and practice among LTCF managers and staff in Brazil. Drawing on an online survey with 138 respondents and focus groups in three cities, four broad analytical themes were identified: (i) gaps between theoretical understanding of hydration needs and perceived feasibility in practice; (ii) challenges in overcoming some residents reluctance to drink; (iii) barriers to monitoring and promoting fluid intake as part of day-to-day facility management and (iv) difficulties in sustaining interventions in contexts of resource scarcity. Our findings demonstrate a need for evidence-based interventions suited to these complex settings, to be implemented within wider frameworks of supportive public policy.
