Functional Independence, Quality of Life, and Level of Mobility of Elderly People Living at Home and Nursing Home

Factors related to quality of life among older adults in Bangladesh: A cross sectional survey

“…In addition, this result could be due to diseases and lack of proper medication, older adult's mobility, ADL, and working capacity decline (Wu, Sahadaven, & Ding, ). This study result is lower than the findings of those of Turan, Yanardag, and Aras () in Turkey, which found a moderate, significant, and negative relationship between ADL and QOL. The differences could be due to differences in the participants' ages.…”

“…The mean age of the participants in our study was 65.81 years. The mean age of the study participants in Turan et al's () study was 74.53 years. It is reasonable to expect higher functional dependence on ADL from participants with higher mean ages.…”

The Impact of Cohousing on Older Adults’ Quality of Life

“…Residents' socioeconomic status and satisfaction with their QOL in the building concur with findings from Glass's (2016) study. The residents' feeling of belonging in the community resulted in the highest score on the environmental domain on the WHOQOL-BREF survey and concurs with past research that older adults' living environment influences their QOL, with older adults living in the community having more independence and higher quality of life than those in institutions (Bielderman, et al, 2015;Kadowski, Wister, & Chappell, 2015;Stones, Kozma, McNeil, & Worobetz, 2011;Turan, Yanardag, & Aras, 2012).…”

How nurses restore and maintain mobility in hospitalised older people: An integrative literature review

“…Patients with physical limitations who were dependent on hospital staff to ambulate were at the highest risk for low ambulation rates(Boltz et al, 2012 andCallen et al, 2004). Similar findings identified low mobilisation in nursing homes; residents of nursing homes experience lower levels of mobility compared to older people living at home(Turan, Yanardag, & Aras, 2012). One way to ensure older patient's ambulation needs are met could be to delegate mobility to other members of the nursing team Weitzel and Robinson (2004).…”
