“…More recently, the attitudes of Egyptian elders toward staying in a nursing home were investigated by Boggatz and colleagues (2009a). The results indicated that the factors shaping the attitudes of older Egyptian adults include: perceived stress, (e.g., health problems or functional limitations); options and barriers to receiving care (e.g., financial problems or social network support); and the older adults' disposition throughout their lives (e.g., cultural values and selfimage) (Boggatz et al, 2009a).…”

“…However, Boggatz and colleagues (2009) reported there are additional nursing homes, not registered as independent organizations at the Ministry of Official Affairs, because they operate under the umbrella of a local church or mosque (Boggatz, Farid, Mohammedin, & Dassen, 2009a). Nursing homes in Egypt are classified into Christian, Muslim, and governmental homes depending on sponsorship (Boggatz & Dassen, 2006).…”

“…The cost for staying in these nursing homes depends on the quality of the nursing home and can range from being free of charge to 2500 Egyptian pounds (L.E.) per month, which is approximately $357 in the US (Boggatz et al, 2009a).…”

Worldwide, the population of elders is increasing significantly. Relocation can be a positive or a negative experience, depending on many factors, including culture. The purpose of this study is to compare individual characteristics (age, gender, marital status, education, perceived health status, activities of daily living), relocation factors (movement preparation, time passed since relocation, closeness of prior home to the present, and whether relocation was from home or another facility), and adjustment in relocated American and Egyptian elders. This secondary analysis study merged data from two cross-sectional descriptive studies of a 104 elders relocated to retirement communities in Northeast Ohio and 94 elders relocated to retirement communities in Alexandria, Egypt. Our findings indicated that American elders have greater independence in daily activities (t (161.23) = -3.03, p = .003); better perceived health (χ(2)[3, N = 198] = 53.21, p < .001), better education (χ(2)[1, N = 198] = 47.28, p < .001), better preparation before the move (χ(2)[1, N = 198] = 40.58, p < .001), and better relocation adjustment (t (196) = 9.42, p < .001) than relocated Egyptian elders. Our results indicate that culture should be taken into account when caring for older adults who relocate to retirement communities. Additionally, interventions, such as counseling, and preparation before relocation are needed to help elders adjust to relocation.

“…If older people have a positive attitude towards receiving care, they are likely to accept this service; if they have a negative attitude, they are likely to reject it. With regard to Egypt, a previous study (Boggatz et al. 2009c) showed that a majority of older people tended to reject home care and nursing homes.…”

“…Factors contributing to care dependency should be investigated separately for care recipients and non‐care recipients as these groups have a different background. Care recipients have direct experience of receiving care and this experience has been shown to have a statistically significant influence on their acceptance of receiving care (Boggatz et al. 2009c).…”

Background Changing population demographics have led to an increasing number of functionally dependent older people who require care and medical treatment. In many countries, government policy aims to shift resources into the community from institutional care settings with the expectation that this will reduce costs and improve the quality of care compared. Objectives To assess the effects of long-term home or foster home care versus institutional care for functionally dependent older people. Search methods We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) via the Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, and two trials registers to November 2015. Selection criteria We included randomised and non-randomised trials, controlled before-after studies and interrupted time series studies complying with the EPOC study design criteria and comparing the effects of long-term home care versus institutional care for functionally dependent older people. Data collection and analysis Two reviewers independently extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of each included study. We reported the results narratively, as the substantial heterogeneity across studies meant that meta-analysis was not appropriate.
