Journal of Gerontological Nursing, 10/16/09
Persson DI et al. – This study examined a group of younger residents, describing issues identified by residents and facility staff and identifying strategies that might improve their quality of life. In this study, the majority of younger residents were men with significant physical and mental health deficits, who spent most of their time alone or watching television. Residents wanted a greater variety of relevant recreational activities and more meaningful relationships with family, staff, and other residents. Staff believed nursing facilities were not designed for younger residents, resulting in unmet psychosocial and recreational needs.
