“…For the appraisal of the selected studies, two checklists with criteria for methodological quality were used. Prevalence studies were rated using the criteria adapted by Pitfield et al from Boyle's guidelines (Boyle, 1998;Pitfield et al, 2011). Each paper was rated, with up to one point being given if a criterion was fulfilled and a total score was calculated (Appendix 1).…”

Although exact figures are lacking, mental-physical multimorbidity is common in LTC residents. Given the specific characteristics of the pertaining residents, more knowledge of their specific care needs is essential. The first step now should be to perform research on symptoms and behavior, which seem more informative than diagnostic labels as well as care needs of LTC residents with mental-physical multimorbidity.

“…That approach has provided indispensable knowledge about the routines and tasks of residents, including eating meals (Charras & Fre´montier, 2010;Lin, Watson, & Wu, 2010), getting dressed (Engelman, Mathews, & Altus, 2002), showering (Westerberg & Strandberg, 2007), and taking medications (Tjia et al, 2010). Previous research has also provided important information about how staff members perceived and experienced different aspects of their work, including their views on individualized care (Chappell, Reid & Gish, 2007), their job satisfaction (Vernooij-Dassen et al, 2009), stress (Pitfield, Shahriyarmolki, & Livingston, 2011), routines (Harnett, 2010), and their rituals when residents die (Magnu´sson, 2009;Strid, 2007). Few studies have investigated how residents frame situations that do not belong to typical institutional tasks or routines.…”

Research on dementia care settings has primarily focused on routine aspects of life, including mealtimes, bathing procedures, etc. However, studies rarely explore how individuals with dementia interact in these settings during the intervals between routines. This study aimed to analyze how residents actively carved out spaces that provided temporary respite from institutional life, termed ''framing respite spaces.'' Ethnographic data was collected over five months in a dementia care setting in Sweden. Frame analysis was employed to investigate residents' shared understanding of non-task-orientated situations. The results showed that individuals with dementia adjusted to institutional order, but also actively created respite spaces through conversation. Interestingly, individuals with dementia interpreted conversational cues and often acted logically according to a shared definition of the specific situation. These findings showed that looking beyond task-orientated interactions between staff and residents can provide a more detailed picture of everyday life in dementia care settings.

“…Eine generalisierbare Aussage zur Prävalenz von Burn-out bei Beschäftigten in der stationären Altenpflege und in der Geriatrie ist gegenwär-tig jedoch noch nicht möglich. Im berücksichtigten Review [17] untersuchten zwei der fünf eingeschlossenen Studien die Prävalenz von Burn-out bei Altenpflegekräften in der speziellen Betreuung von Demenzkranken. Hinweise auf Burn-out fanden sich bei 5% bis 37% der untersuchten Mitarbeiter.…”

Provision of inpatient elderly care is characterized by factors that favor the onset of burnout, with psychosomatic complaints, a drop in performance, periods of absence due to sickness, and early retirement from the sector regularly being observed in this respect. This study summarizes the research of the past 11 years, regarding the prevalence of burnout among inpatient elderly care employees. A total of 24 studies were identified during a systematic database search conducted in May 2011. As the studies conceptualize burnout differently and are based on different survey tools, it is not possible to draw a clear conclusion regarding its prevalence. There is empirical evidence of a correlation between burnout and the care staff/patient ratio, workloads, the freedom to make decisions, job satisfaction, and neuroticism. There is no confirmation of a correlation between burnout and marital status, income, or shift work. There are contradictory findings regarding the correlation between burnout and sociodemographic aspects (e.g., age and gender) as well as burnout and the type of care institution, working hours, and violence perpetrated by patients.
