[Nutritional status of residents of a nursing home and optimisation of the working time of caregivers]. / État nutritionnel des résidents en Ehpad et optimisation du temps de travail des soignants.

The lack of time to devote to care is a frequent complaint of nurses and nursing assistants. The results of a study show that an improvement in the nutritional status of nursing home residents could help to improve their quality of life and to optimise the working time of the nursing teams, thanks to the reduction of pressure ulcers, diarrhoea, falls, fractures and infections.
