Abstract
Background : Plate waste is a problem for hospitals. The behavior of plate waste in patients with high energy high protein is caused by several factors.
Purpose : The purpose of this study was to determine the correlation between portion size accuracy, timeliness of serving, and organoleptic quality of food with plate waste among patients with a high energy high protein diet at Wates Hospital.
Methods : The design of the study was cross-sectional, with a total sampling of 56 patients in August 2023. Data is obtained by weighing portion sizes, observing serving times, assessing the organoleptic quality of food, and observing plate waste. Results were analyzed with the Spearman and Chi Square tests.
Results : The average of food portions was not accurate, meal serving was accurate, and the organoleptic quality of food showed a positive result. The average plate waste ≥-20% was found in staple foods, plant-based protein, vegetables, and extra food, while animal protein <20%. There was no correlation between portion size accuracy and the organoleptic quality of food with plate waste. However, there was a correlation between timeliness of serving with plate waste of staple food, animal protein, and extra food.
Conclusion : There was no correlation between portion size accuracy and organoleptic quality of food with plate waste. However, there was a correlation between timelines of serving with plate waste of staple food, animal protein, and extra food.
