Quality indicators for the care of older adults with disabilities in long-term care facilities based on Maslow's hierarchy of needs.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

This study aimed to develop quality indicators for the care of older adults with disabilities in long-term care facilities (LTCFs) based on Maslow's hierarchy of needs.

Methods

The draft of the quality indicators was drawn up based on a literature review and research group discussion. The quality indicators were finalized by two rounds of expert consultation (involving 15 experts) using the Delphi method. The Analytic Hierarchy Process was applied to calculate the indicators' weight.

Results

The response rates of the two rounds of consultation were 100% and 93%, and the expert authority coefficients were 0.86 and 0.87. After two rounds of consultation, the expert opinion coordination coefficients of the first-, second- and third-level indicators were 0.42, 0.2
