“…In nursing, meaning-in-life has significant meaning. Recently, nurse-patient interaction was found to be significantly associated to meaning-in-life (Haugan, 2013), whereas loneliness revealed a significant association to mortality (Drageset et al, 2013) in cognitively intact NH patients. Moreover, previous research holds that meaning seems to serve as a mediating variable in psychological and physical health; significant associations between meaning and mortality (Boyle, Barnes, Buchman, & Bennett, 2009;Krause, 2009), meaning and fatigue and overall symptoms (Thompson, 2007), as well as psychosomatic disorders (Mausch, 2008) have been reported.…”

“…In summary, the literature reviewed suggests that meaning-in-life is positively associated with connectedness, interaction, hope, faith, and well-being, whereas negative associations have been found between meaning and depression and anxiety (Haugan, 2013;Haugan, in press-a, in press-b;Melton & Schulenberg, 2007Pöhlmann et al, 2006;Schulenberg et al, 2008). Moreover, previous research have documented that self-transcendence is a correlate to well-being in vulnerable populations (Coward & Reed, 1996;Reed, 2008;Runquist & Reed, 2007) and in NH patients (Haugan, Rannestad, Hammervold, Garåsen, & Espnes, in press;Haugan, Rannestad, Hammervold, Garåsen, & Espnes, 2013).…”

The 2-factor model by Morgan and Farsides, comprising 10 items, is an improvement over the original 20-items PIL, based on these nursing home data. The measure yielded highly significantly factor loadings, good values for average variance extracted and composite reliability, as well as significant correlations in the expected direction for relevant selected measures; all supporting the construct validity.

“…Social relationships have been repeatedly identified as essential to nursing home resident quality of life (Bergland and Kirkevold, 2005, Bowers et al, 2001, Cooney et al, 2009, Custers et al, 2012, Tseng and Wang, 2001), life meaning and satisfaction (Bitzan and Kruzich, 1990, Haugan, 2013, Huss et al, 1988, Nussbaum, 1983, Takkinen and Ruoppila, 2001), and psychological well-being (Carpenter, 2002). Residents who are socially engaged are at lower risk for depression, loneliness, other negative health outcomes (Drageset, 2004) and have lower mortality (Kiely and Flacker, 2003).…”

Social support and social relationships have been repeatedly identified as essential to nursing home resident quality of life. However, little is known about ways residents develop relationships with peers or staff. Objective This study was conducted to explore the ways resident develop relationships with peers and staff in nursing homes. Design & methods Fifteen cognitively intact nursing home residents from two facilities were interviewed for this grounded theory study. Sampling, interviewing, and analysis occurred in a cyclical process with results at each stage of the study informing decisions about data collection and analysis in the next. Unstructured interviews and field observations were conducted. Data were analyzed with open, axial, and selective coding. Results Residents developed relationships with peers and staff largely as an unintended consequence of trying to have a life in the nursing home. Having a life was a two-step process. First, life motivations (Being Self and Creating a Positive Atmosphere) influenced resident preferences for daily activities and interaction goals and subsequently their strategies for achieving and establishing both. Second, the strategies residents used for achieving their required daily activities (Passing Time and Getting Needs Met) and interaction goals then influenced the nature of interaction and the subsequent peer or staff response to these interactions. Residents defined relationships as friendly or unfriendly depending on whether peers or staff responded positively or negatively. There was considerable overlap in the ways peer and staff relationships developed and the results highlight the role of peer and staff responsiveness in relationship development. Implications The results provide possible explanations for the success of interventions in the literature designed to improve staff responsiveness to residents. The results suggest that adapting these kinds of interventions for use with peers may also be successful. The conceptual model also presents a number of opportunities for developing interventions for residents.

“…This is due to the aging of societies, the lack of professionals in the field of geriatric medicine, overloading of the system and the enormous financial resources which are required [13]. Moreover, everyday routine, sometimes even the monotony of life in a nursing home increases the feeling of a lack of meaning, the loss of privacy, of independence and there is a risk factor for the occurrence of dejection and loss of the will to live [14,15,16]. Many authors have made attempts to understand the determinants affecting the satisfaction and quality of life of residents of nursing homes.…”

ST R ES ZCZ E NI E B A C K G R O U N D :The objective of the paper was the self-assessment of satisfaction performed by the residents of social care homes in various European countries and analysis of the correlation of the level of satisfaction with the quality of life and chosen independent variables. M A T E R I A L A N D M E T H O D S :The study was carried out among 126 residents of nursing homes in Norway, England, Belgium, Holland, the Czech Republic and Poland, aged on average 79.3 years. The authors of the study used a survey questionnaire of their own authorship consisting of 35 questions including 6 demographic ones and 29 questions related to factors including satisfaction and quality of life. The conducted research was a pilot study. R E S U L T S :The majority of the residents was satisfied with their stay at the nursing home. The level of their satisfaction proved to be different depending on the location of the nursing home. The average level of self-assessment of the quality of life was 4.9 (on a scale of 1-6). It was demonstrated that the level of satisfaction correlated with the quality of life, age, the duration of the stay and residing with a spouse. C O N C L U S I O N S :The level of satisfaction of the residents of nursing homes in selected European countries is varied and demonstrates positive variation with the quality of life. The level of satisfaction of the residents of social care homes in certain European countries demonstrates a positive correlation with age, the duration of the stay and residing with a spouse. The comparative analysis of satisfaction and the quality of life of nursing home residents in various European countries requires taking into consideration cultural distinctiveness.
