Abstract

Abstract To feel “at home” in long term care (LTC) is an important programmatic goal. Few large studies, however, have examined resident perspectives about feeling at home across different types of LTC settings. We asked 632 older adults living in nursing homes, assisted living, and adult foster homes in Oregon whether or not their setting felt “like home” and to describe their experiences with “at-homeness.” Our qualitative analysis revealed five distinct themes that encompassed social connection; autonomy, control, and choice; engagement with the physical environment; organizational environment; and perceptions and coping. Our findings demonstrate how organizational features, interacting with resident characteristics, can facilitate or constrain the experience of home in LTC settings.

“家就是家:在长期护理机构中探索家的意义”

在长期护理(LTC)中感到“宾至如归”是一个重要的项目目标。然而，很少有大型研究调查了居民在不同类型的LTC环境中对家的感觉的看法。我们询问了632位住在俄勒冈州养老院、辅助生活和成人寄养家庭的老年人，他们的环境是否感觉“像家”，并描述了他们“在家”的经历。我们的定性分析揭示了包含社会联系的五个不同主题;自主、控制和选择;参与自然环境;组织环境;感知和应对。我们的研究结果表明，在LTC环境中，组织特征如何与居民特征相互作用，促进或限制家庭体验。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
