Identifying Care and Support Needs Profiles for Home-Based Aged Care: A Latent Class Analysis Using Routinely Collected Aged Care Assessment Information.
This study identified care and support need profiles for people requiring home-based aged care and explored profile associations with socio-demographic and psychosocial factors. The study utilized cross-sectional aged care assessment data for 94,975 Victorians (mean age 84 [SD = 7.6] years) eligible for Australian Government-funded home-based aged care (Home Care Package) (January 2019-June 2022). Latent class analysis identified seven profiles (P1 to P7). P1, the largest profile (n = 23,487, 24.7%), included those with predominantly basic needs, for example, housework (93%) and shopping (68%). Needs gradually increased from P1 to P7. P7 (n = 9,274, 9.8%) included those with the most advanced needs, for example, showering (99%), medication management (99%), walking (89%), short-term memory loss (99%), and disorientation to time (93%). Individuals living alone were under-represented in higher-need profiles (P4 to P7). The identified profiles provide valuable insights to optimize care management, service-type requirements, and workforce skills tailored to the needs of people within each profile.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Applied Gerontology (JAG) is the official journal of the Southern Gerontological Society. It features articles that focus on research applications intended to improve the quality of life of older persons or to enhance our understanding of age-related issues that will eventually lead to such outcomes. We construe application broadly and encourage contributions across a range of applications toward those foci, including interventions, methodology, policy, and theory. Manuscripts from all disciplines represented in gerontology are welcome. Because the circulation and intended audience of JAG is global, contributions from international authors are encouraged.
