“…MacRae et al [12] reported that the majority of ambulatory nursing home residents were inactive and automatically limited their physical activity. Similarly, the study by Lee et al [13] also found that physical activity levels of nursing home residents were relatively low. For nursing home older residents, abilities and environmental resources for engaging in health behaviors are more restricted than community-dwelling older adults.…”

The purpose of this study was to explore self-identified motivators for regular physical activity among ambulatory nursing home older residents. A qualitative exploratory design was adopted. Purposive sampling was performed to recruit 18 older residents from two nursing homes in Taiwan. The interview transcripts were analyzed by qualitative content analysis. Five motivators of physical activity emerged from the result of analysis: eagerness for returning home, fear of becoming totally dependent, improving mood state, filling empty time, and previously cultivated habit. Research on physical activity from the perspectives of nursing home older residents has been limited. An empirically grounded understanding from this study could provide clues for promoting and supporting lifelong engagement in physical activity among older residents. The motivators reported in this study should be considered when designing physical activity programs. These motivators can be used to encourage, guide, and provide feedback to support older residents in maintaining physical activity.

“…Nonetheless, both the decision to move to such an institution and the process of adaptation to living in conditions which are different than those present in the home environment are difficult and depend on many factors [6]. Assessing the level of satisfaction of nursing home residents is commonly identified with the quality of the provided services [7]. The literature includes few reports of studies concerning elderly people benefiting from the nursing home system in various European countries.…”

ST R ES ZCZ E NI E B A C K G R O U N D :The objective of the paper was the self-assessment of satisfaction performed by the residents of social care homes in various European countries and analysis of the correlation of the level of satisfaction with the quality of life and chosen independent variables. M A T E R I A L A N D M E T H O D S :The study was carried out among 126 residents of nursing homes in Norway, England, Belgium, Holland, the Czech Republic and Poland, aged on average 79.3 years. The authors of the study used a survey questionnaire of their own authorship consisting of 35 questions including 6 demographic ones and 29 questions related to factors including satisfaction and quality of life. The conducted research was a pilot study. R E S U L T S :The majority of the residents was satisfied with their stay at the nursing home. The level of their satisfaction proved to be different depending on the location of the nursing home. The average level of self-assessment of the quality of life was 4.9 (on a scale of 1-6). It was demonstrated that the level of satisfaction correlated with the quality of life, age, the duration of the stay and residing with a spouse. C O N C L U S I O N S :The level of satisfaction of the residents of nursing homes in selected European countries is varied and demonstrates positive variation with the quality of life. The level of satisfaction of the residents of social care homes in certain European countries demonstrates a positive correlation with age, the duration of the stay and residing with a spouse. The comparative analysis of satisfaction and the quality of life of nursing home residents in various European countries requires taking into consideration cultural distinctiveness.

“…Physical inactivity is an important risk factor for chronic disease morbidity, functional decline and mortality . Because of their frail characteristics, limited functional capacity and the passive lifestyle, older adults in long‐term care (LTC) institutions are often considered to be the least physically active group among the older population . For them, sedentary lifestyle can cause further loss of function and quality of life.…”

The purpose of this study was to apply self-efficacy theory to explore predictors of regular exercise among older residents of long-term care institutions. Convenience sampling was used to collect data from 151 older adults residing in three residential care homes in Taiwan. Data collection instruments included a background data sheet, Self Efficacy for Exercise Scale, Outcome Expectations for Exercise Scale and self-reported regular exercise. Results indicated that older residents who exercised regularly had fewer chronic diseases, better perceived health status and functional status, and higher self-efficacy expectations and outcome expectations related to exercise. Older residents with a regular exercise habit prior to institutionalization were more likely to engage in regular exercise. Logistic regression analysis indicated past exercise participation and self-efficacy expectations to be significant positive predictors of regular exercise. To promote regular exercise within this population, these can be potential target areas for interventions. These factors should be targeted in the development and implementation of interventions to promote regular exercise among older residents of long-term care institutions.
