This study refined a method to identify nursing home residents' unmet needs regarding care delivery manner and frequency. Findings highlight key areas for improving resident satisfaction and care quality.

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Healthcare Quality Improvement
  • Nursing Home Care

Background:

  • Understanding nursing home residents' perceptions of care is crucial for quality improvement.
  • Identifying specific unmet needs related to care delivery is essential for targeted interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To refine a systematic method for coding nursing home residents' comments into unmet needs.
  • To categorize unmet needs based on the manner (emotional support) and frequency (instrumental support) of care delivery.

Main Methods:

  • Interviewed 69 nursing home residents using closed- and open-ended questions across eight care domains.
  • Coded resident comments to identify unmet needs, distinguishing between staff- and non-staff-related issues.
  • Further classified staff-related unmet needs into emotional support (manner) and instrumental support (frequency).

Main Results:

  • 66% of commenting residents (44 out of 66) reported at least one unmet need.
  • Among residents with unmet needs, 52% reported issues with emotional support and 84% with instrumental support.
  • 18% of residents expressed both emotional and instrumental support unmet needs.

Conclusions:

  • The refined coding method provides a systematic approach to understanding resident-identified unmet needs.
  • Findings offer valuable insights for identifying and evaluating areas needing improvement in nursing home care.
  • This method facilitates resident-centered quality improvement initiatives in long-term care settings.
