Abstract ![sorted by Abstract field, ascending order (up)](img/sort_asc.gif) |
Identifies factors affecting pressure injury prevention in aged residential care. Interviews 10 staff from two aged care facilities, along with relevant policy and practice documents. Analyses data using triangulation and pattern matching to pinpoint three themes: staffing; leadership, teamwork, and communication; and assessment and early intervention. Finds a correlation between difficult work conditions with high-dependency patients and complex care needs, and prevalence of pressure injuries. |

Abstract ![sorted by Abstract field, ascending order (up)](img/sort_asc.gif) |
Traces the origins of gerontology knowledge among student nurses while considering how people designated as older are perceived by the student nurse, and the effects of functional decline and biomedical discourses on their views of older people when on clinical placement in aged residential care (ARC) facilities. Hghlights the contested domain of gerontology knowledge to generate dialogue about how older age is actually represented in student nurse education, as the current iteration perpetuates stereotypical assumptions about older age. |

Undertakes a retrospective review of nursing home residents' data obtained from the NZ International Residential Assessment Instrument national dataset, 2015-2018. Includes 198,790 aged care residents, calculating weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Defines multi-morbidity as the presence of 2 or more health conditions. Measures the risk of disability by a self-performance scale. Highlights an inverse relationship between activities of daily living (ADL) and BMI. |
