They also perceived nutritional screening as unsuitable for patients at the end of their lives, those with overweight-related complications, or undergoing rehabilitation. In addition, nutritional screening was perceived as something healthcare professionals did for their managers or administrators, not because it was crucial to providing good nutritional care. The second theme, provision of individualised food, captures the healthcare professionals' efforts in adapting and preparing food according to the patient's preferences. Facilitation to enable patients to make individual food choices and the use of food cards or lists were two approaches to individualising nutrition care. The third theme, making meals more than about food, elucidated how healthcare professionals used meals to help patients cope with their situations and experience social belonging. Conversations about or around meals were used to provide patients with a sense of belonging to their past or present situation. The meals were also used as a diversion strategy for patients with unrest, as arenas for daily activity training, and for meaningful social interactions between patients around the tables.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><div>Nutritional screening and prevention of malnutrition are only one part of healthcare professionals' nutritional care.

Influenza and COVID-19 vaccination coverage among healthcare professionals is essential. It is crucial to study the vaccination attitudes of healthcare professionals as they significantly influence the vaccination attitudes and behaviour of the rest of the population.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Objective: &lt;/strong&gt;The aim of this study was to describe the attitudes of Finnish nurses and nursing students towards COVID-19 and Influenza vaccination and explain what factors influence these attitudes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Design: &lt;/strong&gt;A cross-sectional study.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Setting and participants: &lt;/strong&gt;A total of 1353 nurses from five hospital organisations and 580 nursing students from eight Universities of Applied Sciences participated in the survey. Participants were invited to complete the questionnaire through Webropol between March and September 2023.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;To collect data anonymously, a self-reported web-based questionnaire combining the Vaccination Attitude Examination (VAX) scale and Bergen's Social Media Addiction (BSMA) scale was used. K-means cluster analysis was performed to describe vaccination attitude profiles.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;Four distinct vaccination attitude profiles were identified: Profile A - Confident Pro-Vaccine (n = 605) exhibited low hesitancy, with high confidence in vaccine safety and effectiveness; Profile B - Cautiously Pro-Vaccine (n = 764) showed moderate hesitancy, mainly concerned about unforeseen future effects; Profile C - Hesitant with Mistrust (n = 405) expressed high hesitancy, with significant worries about vaccine safety and mistrust in health authorities; and Profile D - Strongly Vaccine-Hesitant (n = 159) demonstrated very high hesitancy, marked by strong beliefs in potential long-term negative effects of vaccination. Significant differences in VAX-scale mean scores were found between the profiles, ranging from 1.27 for Profile A to 6.65 for Profile D. Overall, nursing students were more hesitant than practising nurses, with students being overrepresented in the more hesitant profiles. Clinical training in a COVID-19 unit was associated with more favourable vaccination attitudes among nursing students. The uptake of the full series of COVID-19 and annual Influenza vaccines was generally high in the sample (90.8 % and 87 %, respectively). However, a clear pattern between specific social media use and vaccination attitudes was not found. Major concerns related to vaccine hesitancy focused on the uncertainty of vaccines' long-term effects.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;This study provides valuable insights into the complex nature of vaccination hesitancy among nurses and nursing students.
