Abstract

ABSTRACT Longitudinal quality-of-life (QOL) research incorporating multiple perspectives can add to knowledge about how nursing home residents experience QOL, but these methods are seldom used. This study employed interviews and participant observation to conduct multiple-perspective, longitudinal case studies of six residents. Close, reciprocal relationships with staff members, staff knowledge of residents, and autonomy were fundamental to QOL. Autonomy was experienced through choice and self-advocacy. Changes in QOL over time related to changes in resident health status, acclimation to the setting and family member availability. Study results may have implications for staffing and staff training.

疗养院居民生活质量的纵向个案研究方法

纵向生活质量(QOL)研究包含多个视角，可以增加对养老院居民如何体验生活质量的了解，但这些方法很少使用。本研究采用访谈法和参与式观察法对6名住院医师进行多视角、纵向个案研究。与员工保持密切、互惠的关系、员工对住院医师的了解和自主权是生活质量的基础。自主权是通过选择和自我倡导来体验的。随着时间的推移，生活质量的变化与居民健康状况的变化、对环境的适应以及家庭成员的可用性有关。研究结果可能对人员配备和人员培训产生影响。

期刊介绍： Housing is more than houses-it is the foundation upon which the essentials of life are anchored. The quality of housing can enhance or diminish the well-being of individuals and families as well as that of the entire community. Before the Journal of Housing for the Elderly, housing for the elderly as a subject area has a relatively brief history. The Journal of Housing for the Elderly aims to serve the needs of gerontological professionals in the fields of architecture and housing, urban planning, and public policy who are responsible for the residential environments of the elderly in the community.
