The COVID-19 pandemic has had significant repercussions for nursing home residents, their families, and professionals. The objective was to describe the perspectives of residents, their families, and nursing home employees during the COVID-19 pandemic. A scoping review was carried out using the PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews. The inclusion criteria were: qualitative and/or mixed methods studies in English, French, Portuguese, and Spanish. The review covers studies published from 11 March 2020 to 15 February 2021. CINAHL, PubMed, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, Scopus, British Nursing Index, Proquest, PsycInfo, and Google Scholar databases were used. We conducted a systematic narrative synthesis, presenting the results narratively and showing descriptive statistics on the studies reviewed. Sixteen documents were obtained from 175 results. Two studies focused on residents and one on their families. The remaining studies looked at professionals. Nursing homes had great difficulty managing resources, which was exacerbated by emotional exhaustion among residents, employees, and family members. In nursing homes, creative initiatives and new forms of leadership appeared to meet emerging needs during the pandemic. The results of the study show the impact of the pandemic on nursing homes and the response capacity present among residents, family members, and professionals.

“…These findings may be in relation to a better understanding of the confinement, since they passed the disease. Social isolation determines secondary functional decline, cognitive decline [28], and mood deterioration [24,26,27], as well as a negative impact at the nutritional level [19,29], favouring a reduction in food intake and triggering a loss of muscle mass that is hard to recover by dietary modifications alone.…”

“…We observed a significant impact in functional, cognitive, and nutritional status in older adults living in nursing homes after the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. This was not only conditioned by the infection itself, but also by the imposed isolation 29 . Maintaining ambulation and functional and cognitive stimulation, family support, and social interaction with other residents is essential to avoid dependence and depression, and to guarantee an adequate state of health [31].…”

Aim To compare functional, cognitive, and nutritional status before and after COVID-19 pandemic among institutionalized older adults. Findings High frequencies of functional, cognitive, emotional, and nutritional decline were found after the first wave of COVID19 pandemic independently of the infection. Message Health workers and managers should take measures to prevent this decline in institutionalized elderly and its potential adverse effects.

“…This term refers to the fifth stage of technology-enabled development since the beginning of the industrial revolution, in which the need for technologies to complement and enhance human capabilities is emphasized [ 19 ]. In particular, rather than aiming for full automation, it is recognized that the so-called human touch is important in many endeavors [ 20 ], including in production work [ 21 ] and in healthcare [ 22 ].…”

Psychomotor experience can be based on what people predict they will experience, rather than on sensory inputs. It has been argued that disconnects between human experience and sensory inputs can be addressed better through further development of predictive processing theory. In this paper, the scope of predictive processing theory is extended through three developments. First, by going beyond previous studies that have encompassed embodied cognition but have not addressed some fundamental aspects of psychomotor functioning. Second, by proposing a scientific basis for explaining predictive processing that spans objective neuroscience and subjective experience. Third, by providing an explanation of predictive processing that can be incorporated into the planning and operation of systems involving robots and other new technologies. This is necessary because such systems are becoming increasingly common and move us farther away from the hunter-gatherer lifestyles within which our psychomotor functioning evolved. For example, beliefs that workplace robots are threatening can generate anxiety, while wearing hardware, such as augmented reality headsets and exoskeletons, can impede the natural functioning of psychomotor systems. The primary contribution of the paper is the introduction of a new formulation of hierarchical predictive processing that is focused on psychomotor functioning.
