Abstract |
Explores whether there is a relationship between staffing and quality indicators in residential care of older people, in both rest homes and continuing-care hospitals. Conducts a longitudinal survey of 18 residential-care rest homes and 16 continuing-care hospitals in the greater Auckland region to explore the relationship between direct-care staffing levels, skill mix and quality indicators. Collects data over a 6-month period on type of staffing, including registered nurses, enrolled nurses, and support workers; quality indicators, including falls, new fractures, pressure ulcers, weight loss, urinary tract infections (UTI), poly-pharmacy or multiple medications, presence of indwelling catheters and use of daily restraints. Uses logistic analysis to analyse the inverse relationship between staffing levels and adverse events, and whether there is an association between staff type and the incidence of the five quality indicators. |

Explores long-term care-home residents’ quality of life and their family's satisfaction with the care provided. Uses descriptive and correlational analyses, collecting secondary data from 39 residents of two long-term care facilities with a resident-directed care approach. Asks residents to complete a survey of quality-of-life and overall satisfaction measures, and asks 31 of their family members to complete a survey on care satisfaction provided by the facilities. Presents a number of practical considerations for nursing care staff to improve residents' quality of life and staff-family relationships. |
