香港人口持續高齡化是長遠趨勢，65歲或以上的長者人口2040年將佔總人口超過三成以上，隨著身體機能退化及受到病患困擾，咀嚼及吞嚥能力下降，咀嚼及吞嚥困難人士的數目預期亦會上升。社聯自2017年開始積極推動照護食發展，透過各種烹調技巧，調整食物的軟硬度及黏稠度，提高吞嚥困難人士的食慾及營養吸收，重拾進食的樂趣。 社聯透過共創形式聯繫不同持份者，包括政府、專業界別、食物供應商、餐廳食肆、吞嚥困難人士及照顧者等，建構健全及可持續的照護食生態系統，並發表全港首份《照護食標準指引》，以至食品生產商有具體標準可循，同時着重公眾教育和社區參與，這些工作並非單一界別所能成就，必須透過跨界別協作，才能讓公眾進一步認識照護食。 為了令照護食的發展更具針對性及貼近現時社會需求，本會現正進行一項有關照護食 ( 咀嚼或吞嚥困難患者的飲食方案，例如碎餐、糊餐、軟餐等 ) 的多角度的需求調查。透過本調查，我們希望了解有咀嚼或吞嚥困難的人士及其照顧者對於照護食各方面的需要。現邀請 您能提供資料。本調查主要對象為照顧者 (家庭或受薪照顧者及咀嚼或吞嚥困難人士)，所搜集的資料只會作為分析之用，問卷將於完成調查後銷毁。 您的回覆對我們非常重要，能使本會更了解社區對照護食的需求和期望。如可協助此項調查，請於2025年10月5日或之前填妥問卷。 謝謝支持推動照護食的發展！ 問卷連結：https://forms.gle/qXbEjpNq2bBqQ9P26 如有任何查詢，歡迎聯絡社聯照護食工作小組： 聯絡電話：2876 2442 / 2876 2439 電郵地址：[email protected] 網站：https://www.carefood.org.hk ...
