Abstract:
Abstract Background: It is challenging for nursing home (NH) staff to manage non-cognitive neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) of dementia. There is a need for an assessment of staff knowledge regarding non-pharmacological approaches to manage NPS of dementia. This assessment will inform development of policies/procedures to assist NH staff for management of problematic behaviors in residents with dementia (RWD) using non-pharmacological approaches thereby complying with CMS directives to reduce psychotropic medication use. Methods: NH staff members were interviewed using semi-structured interview methods. Interviews continued until thematic saturation was reached. A total of 17 interviews were completed. Findings: Forgetfulness, hallucinations, anger, agitation, combativeness are the most common problematic dementia behaviors. Participants reported that these behaviors make activities of daily living (ADL) care challenging and time-consuming. Redirection, distraction, and recreational activities are the most common approaches identified by participants to manage non-cognitive NPS using non-pharmacological techniques. Participants reported rushing residents to get things done hinders cooperation and escalate problematic behavior. Some participants believed the use of a low dose PRN benzodiazepine is effective as this calms the resident with dementia and reduces NH staff time requirements for assistance with ADL care. Participants described adverse reactions such as weight loss, and general decline as an outcome of somnolence secondary to psychotropic medications use. Implications: NH staff who participated in this project had not received any formal education or instruction concerning non-pharmacological approaches for the management of non-cognitive NPS. NH protocols are indicated for non-pharmacologic behavior management techniques prior to the administration of psychotropic medications.

Abstract:
Introduction:Extreme neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) can be a heavy burden for nursing home (NH)-residents, relatives and caregivers. When conventional treatments are ineffective or have intolerable side effects, extreme NPS can be considered refractory. In these situations, continuous palliative sedation (CPS) is sometimes administered. We explored the trajectory leading to CPS and its application in NH-residents with dementia and refractory NPS.Methods:A qualitative interview study was performed in 2017. Relatives, elderly care physicians and other staff members involved with three NH-residents with dementia and extreme refractory NPS who received CPS were interviewed. These NH-residents lived on dementia special care units of three NHs in the Netherlands. We used consecutive sampling to select participants. Medical files were studied. Semi-structured interviews were conducted. Transcriptions were analyzed with thematic analysis, including directed content analysis.Results:Nine in-depth interviews with fourteen participants were held. Analysis resulted in five main themes with several subthemes reflecting phases of the trajectory leading to CPS and the CPS application itself, a sixth main theme concerned evaluations thereof. According to the first theme (run-up), the suffering of the NH-resident was described as unbearable/an inner struggle. Participants still had hope for improvement. Concerning the second theme (turning point), hope was lost, participants were convinced they had tried everything and experienced feelings of powerlessness and failure. Regarding theme three (considering CPS), intermittent sedation was applied in all three cases and peer consultation was employed. Honoring the wish of the NH-resident and therapeutic uncertainties, among others, were important subthemes. According to theme four (decision to start CPS), in each case one specific aspect was a decisive trigger for administering CPS. Concerning theme five (applying CPS) feelings of relief were experienced after starting with CPS.Conclusions:The trajectory leading up to CPS in NH-residents with dementia and extreme refractory NPS was complex and burdensome, but the application led to relief and contentment of all those involved. We recommend to include external consultation in the decision process and to apply intermittent sedation as a preceding step when CPS is considered.

Abstract:
Abstract More and more people with dementia are living in nursing homes (NH). Often, they depend on NH staff for help with eating and drinking. It is important that staff have the skills and support they need to provide good care at mealtimes. This qualitative study explores mealtime care for people with dementia, from the perspective of NH staff. Semi-structured interviews with NH staff (n=16) were carried out in two nursing homes. The homes were chosen to have diverse characteristics: one home had a large number of beds and was part of a small local organization; the other had a small number of beds and was part of a large national organization. Various staff members were interviewed, including direct care staff, senior carers, nurses, managers, and kitchen staff. Interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. A constant comparison approach was taken, so that data from early interviews were explored in more depth subsequently. From the analysis, five themes emerged as important in mealtime care for people with dementia living in nursing homes: Setting the right tone; Working well as a team; Knowing the residents; Promoting autonomy and independence; Gently persevering. This work forms part of a larger ethnographic study on the topic, which includes data from residents with dementia, and family carers. Results will inform the development of a staff training intervention to optimize mealtime care for this population.

Abstract:
Abstract Nursing facility data from the Illinois Department of Public Health reveals significant racial disparities in access to high quality nursing homes (NH) for older Black and Latino Illinoisans. While half of all Illinois NH residents live in a 1- or 2- star rated nursing home, 68% of Black NH residents live in such facilities. This study seeks to understand racial and ethnic disparities in access to, quality of, and experiences with care in Cook County, Illinois NHs and develop community-identified solutions to close quality, access, and equity gaps. We employ key informant interviews in a two-stage process that begins by developing a current state analysis of the experience with care through interviews with community stakeholders, including advocacy groups, policy and community leaders and public agencies. Those findings then guide interviews with older Black, Latino, and Chinese NH residents and their caregivers where we identify community-grounded solutions to closing equity gaps.

Abstract:
Abstract Background Antibiotics are commonly used in the nursing home (NH) setting and increase residents’ risk for opportunistic and painful infections. Existing evidence of NH residents’ experiences and attitudes towards antibiotic use is limited. We aimed to explore NH residents’ experiences and perceptions of the benefits and risks to antibiotic treatment. Methods Two researchers conducted one-on-one semi-structured interviews with residents residing in a large not-for-profit NH in New York City. Interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. Researchers coded the transcripts using thematic analysis in NVivo 12. Results A total of 26 residents engaged in individual interviews. Participants had a mean age of 76. Most were white (81%), female (58%) and had attended college (58%). Four thematic findings emerged: 1) participants’ involvement in antibiotic treatment decisions; 2) perceived benefits and risks to antibiotics; 3) unmet informational needs; and 4) suggestions to overcome informational needs. Participants described varied involvement in antibiotic treatment decisions, in which some participants described insisting antibiotics from their clinicians and others described leaving antibiotic treatment decisions entirely to the judgement of clinicians. Benefits of antibiotics were well-articulated, yet risks (side effects including antibiotic resistance) to antibiotics were poorly described. Participants reported unmet information needs, including concerns regarding potential drug interactions. Information needs were described to result from a lack of communication with NH staff and/or poor memory among NH residents. Participants suggested that NH residents receive written material regarding their antibiotic prescriptions and provided the types of information that would be helpful for NH residents to know. Descriptions of themes and representative quotes are provided in Figure. Table. Thematic Findings and Representative Quotes Conclusion NH residents expressed a lack of understanding of risks to antibiotic use, unmet informational needs regarding their antibiotic treatments and articulated suggestions to address these information needs.

Abstract:
Abstract Ongoing concerns about the quality of care provided to nursing home (NH) residents have led the federal government to develop quality measures (QMs) for NHs. Many of these QMs are included in the NH 5-star ratings and reported online via Nursing Home Compare. However, we know little about how NH providers view the QMs, challenges they experience in addressing the measures, and strategies they use to achieve better scores. As part of a broader mixed-methods study to understand how NHs are responding to the 5-star ratings, we conducted interviews with NH personnel (n=110) and observed organizational processes in 12 NHs in three states. We also interviewed policy and industry leaders (n=34) to gain their perspectives. Interviews focused on perceptions of the 5-star ratings, organizational strategies to improve 5-star scores, experiences with the survey/regulatory process, and perceptions and responses to individual QMs. Key themes show that a) NH providers view the QMs as important indicators of quality, but there is variability across indicators; b) providers face challenges related to measurement and definitions for certain QMs (e.g., pain, restraints); and c) there are potentially conflicting goals, where some QMs aim to promote safety at the expense of resident autonomy and quality of life and vice versa. This work provides organizational context to the 5-star measures and the balancing act providers engage in to assess and improve their scores. The findings also identify several potentially unintended consequences related to the QMs, which can adversely affect residents, particularly those with more complex care needs.

Abstract:
Introduction:Little is known about the raising number of specialized units for patients with dementia and very severe challenging behavior in the Netherlands. This study describes organizational and treatment characteristics of a sample of these units.Methods:The organizational and treatment characteristics were studied with digital questionnaires completed by the unit managers, interviews with the main physician(s) and observation of the physical environment. The questionnaire consisted of questions about general patient characteristics, unit characteristics and staff characteristics. Furthermore, an interview was held with the main/treating physician often together with another physician or psychologist. The interview guide consisted of questions about admission criteria, the role of staff involved and the treatment process.Results:Thirteen units participated. Five units were part of a mental health (MH) institution, seven units were part of a nursing home (NH) organization and one unit was a cooperation of MH and NH. Unit sizes ranged from 10 to 28 places. Ten of thirteen units started in 2010 or later. The age of patients admitted was estimated at 75 years. The percentage of involuntary admitted patients was 53% at MH-units and 18% at NH-units. Unit managers mentioned that due to a difference in reimbursement between MH and NH units had difficulty providing the specialized care. Another problem managers faced was recruiting nursing staff. Units strived for expertise in general staffing from both MH and NH. The education level of the nursing staff was comparable between MH and NH. At every unit a physician with background in elderly care medicine or geriatrics and a psychiatrist was involved. Interviewees stressed the role of the nursing staff in the treatment. They were key in providing the care and treatment that, since the main goal of interventions is treatment of and coping with challenging behavior.Conclusion:The main finding of this study is that units caring for patients with dementia and challenging behavior, despite barriers in regulations and staffing shortage, search for combining expertise from nursing home care and psychiatry in their treatment.

Abstract:
Abstract Recruiting nursing home (NH) residents to participate in program evaluations is a consistent challenge. This was evident in a federally supported project to improve person-centered care of long-stay NH residents enrolled in Medicaid. Evaluators sought to examine the impact of a life story work intervention using a pre-post study design involving interviews of NH residents and surveys of their family members and staff. Other resident eligibility criteria included willingness to participate in both research and life story interviews, age 60+, a Brief Inventory Mental Status (BIMS) score of 8 or higher, English-speaking, and consent from a legal guardian, if applicable. A total of 16 NHs agreed to participate in the implementation and evaluation of the program, which developed complimentary, individualized life story booklets for residents and a companion summary for staff. Of the homes’ combined population of 1,817 residents, 569 met eligibility criteria for the research study. Non-response from legal guardians excluded 37 residents, and 174 residents approached for recruitment declined to have their names released to the researchers. During baseline interviews, 20 residents failed the BIMS, 21 were unavailable, and 79 refused when approached by a research interviewer. Ultimately, 238 resident interviews were completed at baseline. Common themes for refusals included disinterest in participating in life story work, statements that theirs was not a good life worth talking about, and doubts that quality of care would improve. Strategies for addressing such challenges included displaying sample life story materials during recruitment and providing residents additional time to consider participation.

Abstract:
Abstract Background: The Preferences for Everyday Living Inventory (PELI) was developed to assess the psychosocial preferences of older adults receiving home care (PELI-HC) and then revised for nursing home residents (PELI-NH). While the PELI-HC has been tested to identify patterns in preference ratings by race, the PELI-NH has not. We sought to explore whether the PELI-NH tool captures differences in preference ratings of African-American and White NH residents. Methods: Preference assessment interviews were conducted with NH residents (n = 317). Analysis via a Mann-Whitney U test, results show that 46 of 72 (63.88%) a preference importance items were not statistically different between African-American and White NH residents. Additionally, African-Americans reported greater importance than White older adult NH residents in 26 of 72 (36%) preference importance items. Conclusion/Implications: It appears that the PELI-NH can test group differences in preference importance among African-American and White NH residents; implications for practice will be discussed.

Abstract:
Abstract Despite research documenting gender differences in numerous outcomes in later life, we know little about gender differences in quality of life (QoL) for older adults who receive institutional long-term care. To address this gap, this study examines the relationship between gender and nursing home (NH) residents’ QoL, including possible reasons for differences observed. We used a mixed methods design including surveys with a random sample of Minnesota NH residents using a multidimensional measure of QoL (n=8,870), resident clinical data, facility-level characteristics, and qualitative interviews with NH residents (n=64). We used mixed models and thematic analysis of resident interviews to examine possible differences in resident QoL based on gender. After controlling for individual and facility characteristics, women reported higher overall QoL than men, with men reporting significantly lower QoL in 4 of 8 QoL domains. In interviews, men noted being especially dissatisfied with facility activities, whereas women more frequently described having friends in the facility and relying on family for support. Some women viewed the NH as a place of respite and described wanting to stay long-term, even though their families asked them to return home. In contrast, men more often described the NH as necessary due to physical needs, but undesirable for long-term living. Our findings provide preliminary evidence that men and women experience QoL differently, with men reporting lower QoL in several domains. Tailoring more activities for men and finding ways to strengthen relationships for men within the facility may help reduce the gender disparities in QoL we observed.
