Residents of two older nursing homes (n = 196) were relocated to a new 238-bed facility. A nonequivalent control group (n = 74) design with two pretests and two posttests was used to assess the impact of this move on their well-being and health. The relocated residents and control-group residents required a similar level of nursing care. Residents to be relocated participated in a preparation program designed to enhance their sense of control and predictability over the move. Analyses of medical records, nurses' ratings, and interviews strongly suggest that the move had no negative effect on the residents as a group or on vulnerable subgroups of residents.
两家较老的养老院的196名居民被迁至一家拥有238张床位的新设施中。采用具有两次预测试和两次后测试的非等效对照组(n = 74)设计,以评估此次搬迁对居民幸福感和健康状况的影响。搬迁居民和对照组居民所需的护理水平相似。即将搬迁的居民参加了一个旨在增强他们对搬迁的控制感和可预测性的准备项目。对医疗记录、护士评分和访谈的分析有力地表明,此次搬迁对居民群体或弱势居民亚群体没有负面影响。
