Abstract | Introduction : Nursing homes in Hong Kong play a significant role in helping frail older adults with their nursing, personal, and social needs.
Ever since 2000, seven nursing homes in Hong Kong have been
conducting assessments of their residents on an annual basis by using
the Chinese version of the Minimum Data Set - Nursing Home (MDSHN)
2.0. The present study aimed at examining the care quality of
nursing homes by using quality indicators (NHQIs). Method : Data
from residents from seven nursing homes were assessed with MDSNH2.0
(a total of 8204 assessments) and then used to calculate a series
of quality indicators as guided by the MDS2.0 manual. Results : Areas
that recorded comparatively low prevalence of NHQIs included new
fractures (0.53%), symptoms of depression without antidepressant
therapy (1.02%), fecal impaction (0.65%), urinary tract infection
(0.81%), dehydration (0.06%), hypnotic use more than two times in
the last week (2.68%), and low-risk residents with pressure ulcers
(0.84%). Areas that recorded comparatively high prevalence of NHQIs
included occasional or frequent bladder or bowel incontinence without
a toileting plan (78.9%), little or no activity (27.4%), moderate to
severe pain (27.0%), low-risk residents who lost control of their
bowels or bladders (26.7%), use of nine or more different medications
(18.6%), and residents who have become more depressed or anxious
(18.5%). Conclusion : Findings of the present study showed both
merits and weakness of care provided by nursing homes. Discussion
will be made corresponding to areas of care that showed needs of
improvement. |
