Adverse events and contributing factors in Chinese nursing homes: a multisite cross-sectional study.

Background: Adverse events in nursing homes, which are unintended incidents causing unnecessary harm to older residents. Previous studies in Chinese populations often focused on adverse events in hospitals, rather than residents in nursing homes. Additionally, they tended to focus on single incident rather than multiple types of adverse events.

Behavior change techniques to increase physical activity among older adults living in long-term care facilities: A systematic review.

Despite the health benefits of physical activity, many older adults living in long-term care facilities lead sedentary lifestyles and do not meet minimum physical activity recommendations. Determining the behavior change techniques (BCTs) used in physical activity interventions can help us understand the underlying mechanisms by which behavioral change is achieved. The purpose of this systematic review was to identify and evaluate BCTs in physical activity interventions for the elderly residents.

Development and External Validation of a Machine Learning-based Fall Prediction Model for Nursing Home Residents: A Prospective Cohort Study.

Objectives: To develop and externally validate a machine learning-based fall prediction model for ambulatory nursing home residents. The focus is on predicting fall occurrences within 6 months after baseline assessment through a binary classification task, aiming to provide staff with an effective and user-friendly fall-risk assessment tool.

Design: Prospective cohort study.

Prevalence of physical inactivity and its determinants among older adults living in nursing homes: A cross-sectional study based on COM-B model.

Aims: To investigate the prevalence of physical inactivity in older adults living in nursing homes and explore the determinants of physical inactivity by using the Capability, Opportunity, Motivation-Behaviour model.

Design: A multisite, cross-sectional study was performed by convenience sampling and questionnaire survey.

Methods: A total of 390 nursing home residents were recruited from three nursing homes in Southern China from May 2022 to April 2023.

Adverse event reporting attitude and its individual and organizational predictors among nursing staff: A multisite study in Chinese nursing homes.

This study explored the status of adverse event reporting attitudes and its predictors among nursing staff in Chinese nursing homes. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 475 nursing staff, and they completed sociodemographic and facility-related questionnaire, Incident Reporting Attitude Scale, Adverse Event Reporting Awareness Scale, and Nursing Home Survey on Patient Safety Culture. Univariate analysis and multiple linear regression models were performed.

Incidence and Risk Factors of Falls Among Older People in Nursing Homes: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Objectives: Falls are common among older people in nursing homes, and the assessment of fall risk factors is critical for the success of fall prevention interventions. This study aimed to systematically assess the incidence and risk factors of falls in older people living in nursing homes.

Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis.

A qualitative meta-synthesis of patient dignity from the perspective of caregivers.

Background: The concept of dignity remains disputed, with most studies defining dignity based on its external dimension. Although its inherent dimension is a rooted attribute of dignity, it has received scarce attention. Caregivers have close relationships with their care recipients and thus may perceive their patient's inherent as well as external dimensions of dignity.
