The Food‐Related Moral Experiences of Children (Aged 6–12) With Swallowing Difficulties: A Participatory Hermeneutic Ethnography Study Protocol

Food experiences in children with swallowing difficulties carry moral meaning (e.g., dignity, inclusion and autonomy). This study centres children's voices using participatory hermeneutic ethnography. Results will inform mealtime practices that support both nutrition and emotional well-being. Children and families should be active partners in care, research and policy. Findings can guide child-specific care strategies, training and policy changes.
