Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Healthcare Management
  • Qualitative Research

Background:

  • Increasing demand for long-term care services due to an aging global population.
  • Growing need to evaluate the quality of care within nursing home environments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the current caring conditions in nursing homes from the perspective of elders and caregivers.
  • To identify key themes and challenges influencing the quality of care provided.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative content analysis using a conventional approach.
  • Unstructured interviews with 23 Iranian participants (14 elders, 9 caregivers) until data saturation.
  • Continuous data analysis concurrent with data collection via a comparative method.

Main Results:

  • Three emergent themes: care as an unpleasant task, sustained care, and insufficient resources.
  • Ten subthemes revealed participants' experiences and perceptions of nursing home care quality.
  • Predominant care focused on physical aspects, with limited psychological support for residents.

Conclusions:

  • Nursing home care predominantly addresses physical needs, with psychological care being less prominent.
  • Findings provide guidelines for nursing home managers to enhance physical and psychological care for residents.
  • Addressing caregiver needs, including training and supervision, is crucial for improving overall care quality.
