Outcome measures from international older adult care home intervention research: a scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Care homes are increasingly important settings for intervention research to enhance evidence-informed care. For such research to demonstrate effectiveness, it is essential that measures are appropriate for the population, setting and practice contexts.

Objective

To identify care home intervention studies and describe the resident outcome measures used.

Design

Scoping review.

Methods

We reviewed international care home research published from 2015 to August 2022. We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL and ASSIA. We included any intervention study conducted in a care home, reporting resident outcomes. We extracted resident outcome measures, organised these using the domains of an adapted framework and described their use.
