“…6 The second challenge to educating older people is that many prefer not to be actively involved in treatment, self-care, and decision making. 7 – 9 This preference for the passive role may be their way of avoiding taking responsibility for undesirable events or incorrect decisions. 10 In addition, older people commonly hold the opinion that undesirable events (such as falls) are inevitable and unavoidable.…”

Purpose of the studyHealth education is essential to improve health care behavior and self-management. However, educating frail, older nursing home residents about their health is challenging. Focusing on empowerment may be the key to educating nursing home residents effectively. This paper examines educational interventions that can be used to empower nursing home residents.MethodsA systematic literature search was performed of the databases PubMed, CINAHL, CENTRAL, PsycINFO, and Embase, screening for clinical trials that dealt with resident education and outcomes in terms of their ability to empower residents. An additional, manual search of the reference lists and searches with SIGLE and Google Scholar were conducted to identify gray literature. Two authors independently appraised the quality of the studies found and assigned levels to the evidence reported. The results of the studies were grouped according to their main empowering outcomes and described narratively.ResultsOut of 427 identified articles, ten intervention studies that addressed the research question were identified. The main educational interventions used were group education sessions, motivational and encouragement strategies, goal setting with residents, and the development of plans to meet defined goals. Significant effects on self-efficacy and self-care behavior were reported as a result of the interventions, which included group education and individual counseling based on resident needs and preferences. In addition, self-care behavior was observed to significantly increase in response to function-focused care and reasoning exercises. Perceptions and expectations were not improved by using educational interventions with older nursing home residents.ConclusionIndividually tailored, interactive, continuously applied, and structured educational strategies, including motivational and encouraging techniques, are promising interventions that can help nursing home residents become more empowered. Empowering strategies used by nurses can support residents in their growth and facilitate their self-determination. Further research on the empowerment of residents using empowerment scales is needed.

“…Regarding the need and wish for assistive technology, another study likewise reported that medical devices are needed and valued (Schoberer, Breimaier, Mandl, Halfens, & Lohrmann, ). Additionally, our analysis reveals that the wish for assistive technology and aids has a tendency to be gender‐dependent since only female participants requested this.…”

Aim The aim of this study was to explore the needs and wishes in everyday life of older persons who have experienced a fall. Design A hermeneutic‐phenomenological design with semi‐structured interviews. Method Interviews were analysed using systematic text condensation. Results Nine patients (5 women, 4 men) were included. The participants were between 67–95 years old. Seven of the nine participants had suffered from recurrent falls. The analysis revealed four themes: “To maintain meaningfulness in everyday life after experiencing a fall”, “Contact with professionals can be a prerequisite for feeling well and motivated after a fall”, “A need for assistive technology and aids in everyday life” and “Asking for help can be a challenge”. Our findings highlight that older‐person‐centred care and treatment are essential to address the complex variations in needs and wishes of older persons who have experienced a fall.

“…Two of the three nursing homes that participated in the assessment of needs and expectations regarding fall prevention educational material (Schoberer, Breimaier et al., ) agreed to participate in the evaluation of the material. The directors of these homes chose eligible residents and invited both family members and nursing home staff to take part in the evaluation procedure.…”

“…During the intervention, however, this component is not always carried out (Schoberer, Mijnarends, Fliedner, Halfens, & Lohrmann, ). Nurses share a widespread belief that older residents in nursing homes cannot be educated effectively, due to declining cognitive function or the effects of diseases such as dementia (Schoberer, Breimaier, Mandl, Halfens, & Lohrmann, ). In addition, many residents are not empowered in ways enabling them to actively prevent falls (Kong, Lee, Mackenzie, & Lee, ).…”
