INTRODUCTION: Falls in nursing homes are a major cause for decreases in residents' quality of life and overall health. This study aims to reduce resident falls by implementing the LOCK Falls Programme, an evidence-based quality improvement intervention. The LOCK Falls Programme involves the entire front-line care team in (1) focusing on evidence of positive change, (2) collecting data through systematic observation and (3) facilitating communication and coordination of care through the practice of front-line staff huddles...

Informal caregivers of older adults with chronic illness have unique barriers to social connection. As the older adult population increases, individualized interventions are urgently needed to address the social disconnection experienced across generations of informal caregivers. Adapting an evidenced-based intervention to target social connectedness and leverage technology-mediated communication may be a promising approach. This article describes the adaptation of the Brief Behavioral Activation Treatment for Depression-Revised intervention using elements of the Framework for Reporting Adaptations and Modifications-Enhanced...

AIM: This study examined the associations between geriatric factors and decreased opportunities for conversation among older adults amid a period of self-restraint during the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS: A cross-sectional questionnaire-based survey was carried out in October 2020. The participants were 204 residents aged ≥65 years staying at a private care home in Kyoto city, Japan. Logistic regression analysis was carried out with the reduction of conversation opportunities as the dependent variable, and geriatric factors as independent variables after adjusting for age and sex...

AIM: To investigate the factors associated with introducing visiting-pharmacist services for community-dwelling older adults in Japan. METHODS: We conducted a nested case-control study using claims data in a cohort from a city in Tokyo. Patients aged ≥65 years who received visiting-pharmacist services for the first time between April 2014 and March 2020 were considered case patients. A maximum of four controls to each case patient were randomly selected on the basis of sex, age, health insurance systems, and month-year...

Background: This mixed methods systemic review synthesizes the evidence about nursing home risks for COVID-19 infections. Methods: Four electronic databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Sage Journals Online) were searched between January 2020 and October 2022. Inclusion criteria were studies reported on nursing home COVID-19 infection risks by geography, demography, type of nursing home, staffing and resident's health, and COVID-19 vaccination status. The Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT) was used to assess the levels of evidence for quality, and a narrative synthesis for reporting the findings by theme...

PURPOSE: Caring for older adults with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) is a significant challenge for partner caregivers (i.e., committed, married, or cohabiting individuals). Understanding partner caregivers' needs is crucial to promote their well-being during the disease trajectory. The concept of resilience may help explain how ADRD partner caregivers manage in the face of significant challenges. The purpose of the current scoping review was to synthesize the qualitative evidence of the level of resilience among partner caregivers of persons with ADRD...

The study examines former home care workers' reasons for leaving their jobs from the perspective of reforms in public services and eldercare policies impacted by New Public Management (NPM) in Finland. Written narratives from former home care workers ( n = 39) were collected online and analyzed using thematic content analysis. Former home care workers' reasons for leaving their jobs were connected to four interconnecting themes: mismatch between needs and resources , measurement-driven practices , unbalancing work - life , and ethical burden ...

PURPOSE: We designed a nurse-led algorithm to standardize urinary tract infection (UTI) diagnosis for older adults receiving home-based medical care. Aims of this pilot quality improvement study were to reduce the frequency of empiric antibiotic therapy initiated without a urinalysis and urine culture (UA/UC) first being obtained, reduce antibiotic use without a concomitant increase in emergency department (ED) visits or hospital admissions, and ensure stakeholders' satisfaction with algorithm use...

OBJECTIVES: Studies examining the effects of dual-task resistance training (RT) on nursing-home residents are still scarce. To add knowledge to this field, the present study compared the effects of 12-week RT and RT plus cognitive task (COG) programs on physical performance and cognitive function in a sample of frail nursing home residents. METHODS: This is an experimental study that combined data from two studies that examined older adults living in nursing home residences in Brazil...

BACKGROUND: Japan, which has the world's longest life expectancy, has been reporting rejuvenation of physical function among its older adult population. However, evidence for the incidence of functional disability is limited. This study aimed to investigate the comparison in the incidence of functional disability. DESIGN: We used data from the Japan Gerontological Evaluation Study. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: The participants were 2 nonoverlapping cohorts of 22,522 (2010-2013 cohort) and 26,284 (2016-2019 cohort) individuals aged 65 years from 5 municipalities who were followed for 3 years each...

BACKGROUND: Despite the great benefits of intelligent assistive technology (IAT) for dementia care - for example, the enhanced safety and increased independence of people with dementia and their caregivers - its practical adoption is still limited. The social and ethical issues pertaining to IAT in dementia care, shaped by factors such as culture, may explain these limitations. However, most studies have focused on understanding these issues within one cultural setting only. Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore and compare the attitudes of Israeli and German dementia experts toward IAT in dementia care, to contribute to a more cultural-comparative perspective...

We examine what facility characteristics are associated with nurse turnover in residential care communities (RCCs). This is a cross-sectional study using the 2018 National Study of Long-term Care Provider Public Use File. There were 3331 RCCs (unweighted n = 272) represented when examining registered nurse (RN) turnover and when examining aide turnover there was a weighted sample of 13,676 RCCs (unweighted n = 68). RN turnover was 72% (95% confidence interval (CI) 59%, 84%), 52% reported 100% turnover. Aide turnover was 48% (95% CI 43%, 53%); 11% reported 100% turnover...

Complaints represent an important metric for assessing the quality of nursing home (NH) care. Using the Automated Survey Processing Environment (ASPEN) Complaints/Incidents Tracking System dataset (2017), we examined the relationships between zero-deficiency complaints (ZDCs) and zero-deficiency substantiated complaints (ZDSCs) and the proportion of residents with dementia. NHs ( N = 15,339) were separated into three groups-proportion of residents with dementia in the top, two middle, and the bottom quartiles...
