Abstract

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to explore the mediating roles of care receiver clinical factors on the relationship between care partner preparedness and care partner desire to seek long-term care admission for persons living with dementia at hospital discharge.

Methods: This study analyzed data from the Family centered Function-focused Care (Fam-FFC), which included 424 care receiver and care partner dyads. A multiple mediation model examined the indirect effects of care partner preparedness on the desire to seek long-term care through care receiver clinical factors (behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia [BPSD], comorbidities, delirium severity, physical function, and cognition).

Results: Delirium severity and physical function partially mediated the relationship between care partner preparedness and care partner desire to seek long-term care admission (B = -.011; 95% CI = -.019, -.003, and B = -.013; 95% CI = -.027, -.001, respectively).

Conclusions: Interventions should enhance care partner preparedness and address delirium severity and physical function in hospitalized persons with dementia to prevent unwanted nursing home placement at hospital discharge.

Clinical implications: Integrating care partner preparedness and care receiver clinical factors (delirium severity and physical function) into discharge planning may minimize care partner desire to seek long-term care.

出院时痴呆症护理伙伴的准备情况和寻求长期护理的愿望：护理接受者临床因素的中介作用。

研究目的本研究旨在探讨护理接受者的临床因素对护理伙伴的准备程度与护理伙伴在痴呆症患者出院时寻求长期护理入院的愿望之间关系的中介作用：本研究分析了以家庭为中心、以功能为重点的护理（Fam-FFC）数据，其中包括 424 个护理接受者和护理伙伴二元组。多重中介模型通过护理接受者的临床因素（痴呆症的行为和心理症状[BPSD]、合并症、谵妄严重程度、身体功能和认知能力）检验了护理伙伴的准备程度对寻求长期护理的愿望的间接影响：结果：谵妄严重程度和身体功能在一定程度上调节了护理伙伴的准备程度与护理伙伴寻求长期护理入院的愿望之间的关系（B = -.011; 95% CI = -.019, -.003, and B = -.013; 95% CI = -.027, -.001, respectively）：结论：干预措施应加强护理伙伴的准备工作，并解决住院痴呆症患者谵妄严重程度和身体功能问题，以防止出院时不必要的养老院安置：临床意义：将护理伙伴的准备情况和护理对象的临床因素（谵妄严重程度和身体功能）纳入出院计划，可最大限度地减少护理伙伴寻求长期护理的愿望。
