The Prevalence of Culture Change Practice in US Nursing Homes
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Given the dynamic nursing home (NH) industry and evolving regulatory environment, depiction of contemporary NH culture-change (person/resident-centered) care practice is of interest. Thus, we aimed to portray the 2016/2017 prevalence of NH culture change-related processes and structures and to identify factors associated with greater practice prevalence. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: We administered a nationwide survey t…
Older women's responses and decisions after a fall
In this descriptive qualitative research, we examined older women's responses and decisions after experiencing a fall. Falls were unexpected, sudden events that heightened these women's awareness of their physical, emotional, spiritual, and social independence. Interviewees reported assessing personal, physical, and emotional needs; feeling burdened by the extra work; trying to get back to normal; seeking and obtaining assistance and spiritual su…
The Impact of Medicaid Payer Status on Hospitalizations in Nursing Homes
OBJECTIVES: To examine the association between payer status (Medicaid vs. private-pay) and the risk of hospitalizations among long-term stay nursing home (NH) residents who reside in the same facility. DATA AND STUDY POPULATION: The 2007-2010 National Medicare Claims and the Minimum Data Set were linked. We identified newly admitted NH residents who became long-stayers and then followed them for 180 days. ANALYSES: Three dichotomous outcomes-all-…
The Effect of Medicaid Nursing Home Reimbursement Policy on Medicare Hospice Use in Nursing Homes
OBJECTIVE: To understand how changes in Medicaid nursing home (NH) reimbursement policy and rates affect a NH's approach to end-of-life care (ie, its use of hospice). METHODS: This longitudinal study merged US NH decedents' (1999 to 2004) resident assessment data (MDS) with Part A claims data to determine the proportion of a NH's decedents using hospice. Freestanding NHs across the 48 contiguous US states were included. A NH-level analytic file w…
An Examination of Changes in Oxytocin Levels in Men and Women Before and After Interaction With a Bonded Dog
Oxytocin (OT) is a neuropeptide increasingly recognized for its role in bonding, socialization, and stress relief. Previous research has demonstrated participants' OT levels increased after interacting with or petting a dog, suggesting OT is at least partially responsible for the calm, relaxing feeling that participants experienced during this intervention. The purpose of our study was to more closely examine changes in oxytocin levels in men and…
Does the Presence of a Dementia Special Care Unit Improve Nursing Home Quality
Differences in care processes between NHs with and without D-SCUs are the result of differences in their underlying approach to care, not the result of care practice diffusion from the D-SCU
Long-term Care Market Competition and Nursing Home Dementia Special Care Units
BACKGROUND: The proliferation of noninstitutional long-term care (LTC) alternatives, particularly assisted living (AL), raises questions about how the nursing home (NH) industry is affected. Dementia special care units (SCUs), which provided NHs a competitive edge in the past, are of interest because they have traditionally served residents who now have other options. OBJECTIVES: To quantify the effect of LTC competition on the odds of SCU presen…
Facility and county effects on racial differences in nursing home quality indicators
Impact of Cognitive Function on Assessments of Nursing Home Residents’ Pain
OBJECTIVES: We sought to examine the impact of residents' cognitive function on the quality of Minimum Data Set (MDS) pain data using the latent variable approach. RESEARCH DESIGN: Using the Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI) protocol, nursing home (NH) staff and well-trained study nurses independently assessed 3736 NH residents. MEASURES: Inter-rater agreement of pain ratings between NH staff and study nurses was quantified by weighted kappas …
Driven to Tiers
Nursing home care is currently a two‐tiered system. The lower tier consists of facilities housing mainly Medicaid residents and, as a result, has very limited resources. The nearly 15 percent of U.S. nonhospital‐based nursing homes that serve predominantly Medicaid residents have fewer nurses, lower occupancy rates, and more health‐related deficiencies. They are more likely to be terminated from the Medicaid/Medicare program, are disproportionate…
Perceived Reactions to Interracial Romantic Relationships
Two studies examined the hypothesis that race, by serving as an indicator of status, more strongly affects prejudice against females’ romantic relationships than males’. In Study 1, participants reported on an interracial romantic relationship about which close others disapproved. Consistent with evolutionary and social structural theories of mate selection, non-White males indicated more disapproval from their White female partners’ friends and …
Time to Nursing Home Admission for Persons with Alzheimer's Disease
Study findings support the utility of targeted continued expanded provision of HCBS by states and provide a basis for future research regarding the impact of changing state health care systems on LTC utilization for persons with AD
