Abstract:
Abstract Introduction The huge death rate in nursing homes during the COVID-19 pandemic raised serious questions as to whether the built environment of nursing homes was a factor in this very high mortality, as well as a factor in quality of life. Method We embarked on a wide-ranging study involving a review of Irish policy, stakeholder engagement, Irish case studies, literature review, and international case studies to understand the key issues that influence the planning, design, and operation of nursing home settings settings, and to identify how these shape care models and the physical environment. Results The project generated the following key themes: a) including the voices of residents, family and staff in co-creation of design and research; b) integrating nursing homes with the overall housing spectrum; c) linking nursing homes with ageing in place policy; d) further research on optimal design; e) understanding resident diversity; f) greater inclusion of Universal Design principles; g) designing for resilience; and h) Convergence between infection control and quality of life Discussion: Our Research Findings have been developed to identify major current issues related to the built environment and its role in creating a balance between quality of life and COVID-19 infection control in Irish and international nursing home settings. These findings are relevant for a wide range of stakeholders and will be disseminated across a number of channels to continue this conversation and help to continue the evolution of nursing home design.

Abstract:
Background: Antipsychotic medications are often used ‘off-licence’ to treat neuropsychiatric symptoms and disorders of aging and to manage behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia despite the warnings of adverse effects. Objective: To establish the prevalence of and documented indication for antipsychotic medication use in the Irish nursing home setting. Setting: This study was conducted in six nursing homes located in Co. Cork, Ireland. Method: A retrospective, cross-sectional study was employed. All patients who met the inclusion criteria (≥65 years, residing in a nursing home on a long-term basis) were eligible for inclusion. There were 120 nursing home residents recruited to the study. Main Outcome Measure: The prevalence of antipsychotic medication use in nursing home residents (with and without dementia). Results: The overall prevalence of antipsychotic prescribing was found to be 48% and patients with dementia were significantly more likely to be prescribed an antipsychotic compared to those without dementia (67% vs. 25%) (χ2 (1, N = 120) = 21.541, p < 0.001). In the cohort of patients with dementia, there was a trend approaching significance (p = 0.052) of decreasing antipsychotic use with increasing age (age 65–74 = 90%; age 75–84 = 71%; age 85 and over = 58%). An indication was documented for 84% of the antipsychotic prescriptions in this cohort. Conclusions: The findings of this study highlight that high rates of antipsychotic medication use remains an issue in Irish nursing homes. Further work should explore factors in influencing prescribing of these medications in such settings.

Abstract:
AbstractObjectives: The aim of this study was to provide the first Irish prevalence data on mental illness in an elderly, rural, community dwelling population.Method: Subjects were identified from four general practitioners' lists. This included GMS patients, private patients and nursing home residents. Six hundred and fifty people aged 65 years or over were interviewed in their own homes using GMS-AGECAT, a standardised diagnostic instrument.Results: The overall prevalence of mental illness was 14.6%. The prevalence of depression was 9.4%. There was a significantly higher rate among women (13.2%) than men (4.3%). Depression in women was not age related. Of the total sample, 3.7% were classified as organic cases. Of the remaining cases, anxiety disorders occurred most frequently and represented 0.9% of all cases.Conclusions: Elderly people in rural areas experience similar levels of psychiatric morbidity as those in urban centres.
