Elderly residents of nursing homes do not only have the right to receive high-quality medical and nursing care, but also and explicitly to lead an autonomous life that enables them to partic-ipate in society. This right is not least stipulated in the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. The application-based research project ‘Autonomous Participation in Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly’ analysed the prerequisites for realising elderly residents’ autonomous participation in their nursing homes. Within the framework of a sequential mixed methods study, the researchers conducted interviews with such residents, their relatives and care home staff, participatory observations in selected nursing homes and an online survey throughout North Rhine-Westphalia. As a result, they were able to identify factors which facilitate and restrict such participation from the perspectives of the residents, staff and the care home itself for the first time, and thus stipulate important requirements for the facilitation and implementation of participation within a framework model.
ZusammenfassungDie in diesem Beitrag vorgestellte empirische Studie untersucht mit einem sequentiellen Mixed Methods-Design Bedingungen der Gewährleistung von Teilhabe von Bewohner*innen stationärer Altenpflegeeinrichtungen. Insbesondere widmet sich der Beitrag zum einen den methodischen Verfahren, die geeignet sind, die Praxis von Teilhabeförderung multiperspektivisch zu erkunden sowie kognitiv eingeschränkte Menschen einzubeziehen. Zum anderen beleuchtet er den Transfer der Ergebnisse in ein Musterrahmenkonzept, welches Einrichtungen zur Umsetzung von Teilhabeförderung dienen soll.
