Managing aggressive elderly in long-term care.

J Winger, V Schirm

    Journal of Gerontological Nursing
    |February 1, 1989

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Patients in long-term care feel more control over social activities than physical ones. Functional ability impacts perceived control over physical tasks, but even independent patients lack control over basic self-care like bathing.

    Area of Science:

    • Gerontology
    • Nursing Science
    • Rehabilitation Medicine

    Background:

    • Understanding patient autonomy is crucial in long-term care settings.
    • Perceived control influences patient well-being and engagement in daily activities.
    • Limited research exists on perceived control over specific activities of daily living (ADLs) in this population.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate patients' perceived control over socialization and physical activities of daily living (ADLs) in long-term care.
    • To examine the relationship between functional ability and perceived control over physical ADLs.
    • To assess the influence of perceived control on aggressive behavior.

    Main Methods:

    • A study involving patients in long-term care facilities.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Assessment of perceived control over socialization and physical ADLs.
  • Evaluation of the correlation between functional independence and perceived control.
  • Analysis of perceived control as a predictor of aggressive behavior.

    • Main Results:

    • Patients reported greater perceived control over socialization than physical ADLs.
    • Perceived control over physical ADLs correlated with functional ability, with independent patients reporting low control over eating and bathing.
    • Perceived control was not a significant factor in aggressive behavior.

    Conclusions:

    • Nurses should implement interventions promoting patient choice in basic ADLs.
    • Future research should incorporate mental status as a variable when examining perceived control and behavior.
    • Enhancing perceived control in physical ADLs may improve quality of life for long-term care residents.
