The relation between resident-related factors and care problems in nursing homes: a multi-level analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Care problems such as decubitus and fall incidents are prevalent in nursing homes. Yet, research regarding explanatory factors on these care problems is scarce. The aim of this study is twofold: (1) to identify the degree to which a diverse set of resident-related factors (e.g., care dependency levels) are associated with the sum of six care problems (pressure ulcers, incontinence, malnutrition, falls, freedom restriction, and pain), and (2) to investigate which resident-related factors are associated with each of these six care problems individually.

Methods

Data were collected (2016-2023) using the International Prevalence Measurements of Care Quality (LPZ). Factors such as age, number of diagnoses, and length of stay were included. While respecting nested data
