“…interpersonal relationships may be difficult to capture. 185 Some of the dimensions that have been labelled as QoL could also be appropriately considered to be basic needs – e.g. safety and security, food, comfort, access to services.…”

BackgroundCare home residents have complex needs, and minimum data sets (MDSs) provide a unique source of information on their health and wellbeing. Although MDSs were first developed to monitor quality and costs of care, they can make an important contribution to research.AimTo describe the research applications of data from care home MDSs, and identify key outcome variables and measures used.DesignMapping review of published empirical studies using data generated from minimum data sets in long term care facilities for older adults.MethodsWe performed a comprehensive search of electronic databases (Medline OVID, CINAHL, Embase and ASSIA), using bespoke search strategies to identify English language publications 2011 - 2024. Articles were screened by two independent reviewers. They were grouped by study topic and data (on publication date, country, MDS, outcome variables and specific items or measures) were charted without quality assessment. The key features of the data are described in a narrative synthesis.FindingsSearches identified 18588 articles published 2011-2024, of which 661 met inclusion criteria. 72% were from the USA, 12% from Canada and the remaining 16% from four European countries, South Korea and New Zealand. The studies encompassed individual resident functioning (e.g. mobility, incontinence), health conditions and symptoms (e.g. depression, pain), healthcare in the home (e.g. prescribing, end of life care), hospital attendances and admissions, transitions to and from care homes, quality of care and systemwide issues. Measures used reflected the content of the major MDSs, but there was a mismatch between the importance of some topics to care homes (e.g. incontinence) and the range of published papers, and limited consensus over how to measure quality of life.ConclusionsCare home MDSs are a unique resource to support study of care home residents and impact of interventions over time. They are a powerful resource when linked to other datasets, and as an adjunct to primary data collection This analysis may serve as an accessible guide to the content and applications of MDS, allowing researchers to consider the sort of questions that can be posed and the different components of resident care or experience that can be evaluated.

“…These domains include access to services, activities, autonomy, comfort and environment, empowerment and support, food and meals, personal relationships, privacy, respect, safety and security, and staff-resident bonding. Raes et al (2020) uses this instrument to analyze the association between the price of the facility and the commented dimensions of QoL. Kehyayan et al (2016) only uses an overall QoL of residents associated with the facility characteristics.…”

“…In general, item 4 “subject characteristics sufficiently described,” obtains the lower rating for three studies (Leung, Famakin, & Olomolaiye, 2017; Raes et al, 2020; Shin et al, 2014), due to the fact of not providing baseline/demographic information. Item 8, follows with a low rating for four studies (Kehyayan et al, 2016; Leung, Famakin, & Olomolaiye, 2017; Raes et al, 2020; Shin et al, 2014). In these studies, definitions of outcome measures are not reported in detail.…”

This review aims to obtain the relationships between characteristics of the facilities and the quality of life of older adult residents, and to obtain the direction in which new studies should be addressed as well as their application to healthcare policies. A systematic review was conducted following PRISMA guidelines. Multiple databases have been used: Scopus, Web of Science, Wiley online library, PubMed, ProQuest, EBSCOhost, and Emerald, from January 1, 2011 to July 1, 2023. Ten studies from 1,037 articles were included. Evidence exists on the positive relationships between quality of life and hours of management, care, activities, and qualified staff, and in general, the characteristics included in the categories of space management, supporting facilities and building services. In contrast charitable and for-profit facilities, Medicaid status, resident acuity, deficiencies, chain affiliation, size, hours of practical nurses, turnover, and financial resources (except occupancy rate) have a negative impact on quality of life or their dimensions.
