To identify the optimal cutoff points for poor physical function [measured by a 5-times sit-to-stand (5-STS) test] associated with slowness in community-dwelling older adults and to validate the 5-STS cut points by determining whether they predicted future slowness and clinically relevant health outcomes o...
Research shows that nursing home residents are largely inactive. This inactivity negatively influences physical fitness, and participation in daily activities is known to have a positive influence on physical function and quality of life. Existing research does not provide sufficient insight into the daily...
This study examined the association between frailty development and physical activity including the number of steps, the time of light-intensity physical activity (LPA) with <3.0 metabolic equivalents (METs), and the time of moderate- to vigorous-intensity physical activity (MVPA) with ≥3.0 METs in comm...
To evaluate the impact of interventions aimed at improving data quality in resident documentation in the residential long-term care setting, and to explore the experiences related with the implementation strategies and key determinants influencing data quality.
Research shows advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) embedded in nursing homes (NHs) reduce resident hospitalizations. However, the specific APRN activities that reduce hospitalizations have not been adequately investigated. This study aims to identify the causal links between APRN activities and NHs...
