The adaptation of older adults’ transition to residential care facilities and cultural factors: a meta-synthesis

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background The transition to residential care facilities can be stressful for older people, entailing numerous challenges. Many qualitative studies focused on the adjustment and the experiences associated with older adults’ admission to residential care facilities. However, there have been few studies to synthesize qualitative studies and pay attention to the cultural factors influencing adaptation. The aim is to appraise the adaptation of older people’ s transition to the residential care facilities. Methods We followed the method of Preferred Reporting Items of Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA). Six databases (CINHAL, Cochrane, Embase, Pubmed, PsycInfo, and Web of Science) were searched systematically from their inception until April 2020 using Medical Subject Headings (MSH) or Subject Headings plus free-text words. The CASP evaluation for qualitative studies was used for quality appraisal and meta-aggregation was used in the data analysis. Results Ten studies (from 7 countries on 3 continents) were included in this review. We synthesized two main findings: the impacts of culture on adaptation and the transition process. Conclusions Understanding the cultural factors helps nursing staff to gain new insight into older adults’ transition to residential care facilities. The consideration of cultural factors might be incorporated into tailored interventions for residents during transition. Nursing staff is advised to pay attention to the decision-making process before residents’ admission to the residential care facilities, and care plans are best made by residents, family members, and staff members together at the beginning of the decision-making process.

“…The concept of acclimatisation is rooted in biology and means physiological or behavioural changes occurring within the lifetime of an organism, that reduces the strain caused by stressful changes in the natural climate (Lee et al 2010). Sociology denotes the process of changing the perspectives of a person's self or world to get used to or feel at home with a changed environment (de Guzman et al 2012). Acclimatisation is a primary mechanism by which entities match their physiology and behaviour in a timely, efficient, and beneficial way to a rapidly changing environment, and thus, it is pivotal for survival.…”

“…Drawing on this definition, we apply the concept to the context of SMEs with vulnerabilities facing environmental uncertainty. Given the way the concept is examined and understood in the literature (e.g., de Guzman et al 2012;Lee et al 2010), the acclimatisation process reflects a thorough and lasting change in a firm's key characteristics and structure with minimal resource input. Although the concept of the acclimatisation process has not yet been applied in operations management and SCM fields, we argue that it is a distinct concept and is relevant to understand how SMEs face and respond to environmental uncertainty amid resource constraints in order to survive in the long run.…”

Even though supply chain agility (SCA) has been considered an essential concept in supply chain management (SCM) research, the way it is experienced and manifested, especially by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), has received much less attention. Our purpose is to focus on SME organisational vulnerabilities in the context of increased environmental uncertainty, and explore how SCA is developed and applied by SMEs amid their vulnerabilities. By relying on insights from comparative case studies of three British SMEs, we examine SME SCA as an acclimatisation process and delve into SMEs' experiences of facing environmental uncertainty while developing and applying SCA. Our findings highlight that organisational attitudes underlie how SMEs perceive environmental uncertainty, tackle organisational vulnerabilities and develop SCA as an acclimatisation process. Our findings also reveal that resource constraints, supply chain relationships, interorganisational power dynamics, and access to information play important roles in developing SCA.

“…They eventually get completely involved in the life they are supposed to live. In addition to this, the holistic needs of older adults such as social, mental, financial, spiritual and physical needs are to be considered in order to promote a purposive and meaningful life for them (Stone, 2009;de Guzman, 2012).…”

There has been a rapid ageing of the earth's population and in a few decades, Asia could become the oldest region in the world. In India, due to the reorganization of the family system, the traditional joint family system is on the decline. Due to the emergence of the nuclear family and the high cost of living, family members who previously cared for the elderly need to find employment outside the home. A rapid increase in nuclear families and an exceptional increase in the number of 'older adults' in the country have compelled them to live in old age homes. Literature has accentuated the difficulties and apprehensions experienced by older adults during the ageing process and the need for old age homes in order to create an environment that fosters a meaningful existence for them in their twilight years. India's old age homes are trying to uphold the needs, desires and values of older adults. There is a lack of studies that attempt to give older adults a chance to communicate their experiences in a care home. Older adults are an invaluable resource for younger generations and change is needed in society's attitude towards ageing. This review can help psychologists, social workers and caregivers gain insight into the needs of older adults in terms of mental wellbeing, economic and social security and elder abuse and create awareness among the people.
