“…Changes in behavior include healthier goal‐directed choices and self‐advocacy (Falk‐Rafael). In the previous literature, the model of empowered caring has been used to improve the adaptation of elderly residents of nursing homes (Chang & Park, ). Moreover, it has been reported that the nursing interventions based on Orem's self‐care theory, which promote support, the use of educational strategies for knowledge and skills, and the improvement of participation in treatment, can promote self‐care by hemodialysis patients (Simmons, ).…”

Aim: To evaluate the effects of an integrated self-management program using a mobile application, a short message service using a smartphone, and face-to-face counseling and education among hemodialysis patients. Methods: A quasi-experimental study design was used. The participants of this study were 84 hemodialysis patients (42 in the experimental group and 42 in the control group). The experimental group received the integrated self-management program for 8 weeks. The data were analyzed by using the independent t-test and Mann-Whitney U test to identify differences in self-efficacy, treatment compliance, the ratio of interdialytic weight gain to dry weight, and serum potassium and phosphorus levels between the experimental group and the control group at the end of the program. Results: The scores for self-efficacy and treatment compliance were significantly higher in the experimental group than in the control group. The ratio of interdialytic weight gain to dry weight significantly decreased in the experimental group, compared to the control group. The serum potassium and phosphorus levels in the experimental group were not significantly lower than those of the control group. Conclusion: The findings suggest that the integrated self-management program that was implemented in this study could be a potentially effective intervention to improve the self-management of hemodialysis patients. Further research on various nursing intervention programs is warranted, including a mobile application program to improve hemodialysis patients' self-management.

“…In addition, given the significantly low NHAS scores of residents who had stayed under 12 months compared with the those who had stayed longer, more nursing interventions or structured adjustment programmes are needed particularly for the residents who stay under 12 months. In a rare example of such a nursing home adjustment intervention, an empowerment programme in one study was effective to improve the adjustment levels of older adults whose period of stay was under 1 year . These study findings provide insights into how nursing staff could develop different intervention modalities for different groups of residents depending on the length of stay in a nursing home.…”

The purpose of this study was to explore how residents' adjustment is different depending on the length of stay in nursing homes. A total of 161 cognitively intact residents completed a survey questionnaire of the Nursing Home Adjustment Scale (NHAS) and demographic information. Controlling for activities of daily living function, a generalized linear model demonstrated that the levels of nursing home adjustment are different depending on the length of stay for nursing home residents. Residents who stayed 12 months or more (Groups 4 or 5) showed the highest NHAS scores, followed by the group who stayed under 3 months (Groups 1 or 2), and those who stayed 3 months or more but under 12 months (Group 3) had the lowest NHAS scores. Knowing that residents' life adjustment might vary based on the length of stay, nursing home staff can identify residents' level of adjustment, predict their needs and implement interventions in a timely manner.

“…In all of the subcategories of health promoting behaviors, including the physical, social, and emotional dimensions, the level of health promoting behaviors was higher in the group-home group than in the at-home group. Considering that personal health is an important factor affecting friendship relationships (Chang & Park, 2012; Schulz, Boerner, Klinger, & Rosen, 2015; Shearer, Fleury, Ward, & O’Brien, 2012), older adults who live at home in rural areas of South Korea are more limited and disadvantaged than their peers who live in group homes in terms of the frequency and degree of interpersonal interactions (Ko, 2016; Sok & Kim, 2008). Therefore, older adults living in group homes are in a much better position to develop a base of support through interactions with fellow residents and to improve self-esteem and improve their health promoting behaviors through information sharing.…”

Background: In South Korea, population aging is advancing at a more rapid rate in rural areas than urban areas, leading to a particularly high percentage of rural-dwelling older adults. Purpose: The aim of this study was to examine and compare health promoting behaviors, depression, and life satisfaction between rural-dwelling older adults who live, respectively, in group homes and at home. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study design was employed. Study participants included 160 older adults aged 65 years and older who were living in group homes ( n = 80) and at home ( n = 80) in Gyeonggi province, South Korea. The Health Promotion Lifestyle Profile-II was used to examine health promoting behaviors, the Korean Geriatric Depression Screening Scale was used to examine depression, and the Life Satisfaction Index was used to examine life satisfaction. Data were analyzed using SPSS Version 21.0. Results: The data showed significant differences between the two groups in terms of health promoting behaviors ( t = −9.035, p < .001), depression ( t = 20.861, p < .001), and life satisfaction ( t = −12.153, p < .001). Conclusions/Implications for Practice: The mean scores for health promotion behaviors and life satisfaction were higher, and the mean score for depression was lower in the group-home group than the at-home group. The findings from this study may be employed as basic data for establishing residence-appropriate nursing intervention protocols for older adults living in rural areas.
