This study describes a project designed to enhance the quality of life of older people on a continuing care ward. The aim of the interventions used was to increase staff/resident interaction levels. The programme interventions focused on staff education and extra ward activities. Interaction levels were measured using a previously published observation schedule which was adapted for use with this client group. Inter-rater reliability measures indicated that the adapted measure was still reliable. The patients on the ward were also assessed to establish their level of dependency. The findings indicated that, for the majority of observational categories, there were no significant differences, but those that were found were in the opposite direction to that predicted and indicated a reduction in interaction levels. Possible explanations for this finding are discussed.
本研究描述了一个旨在提高持续护理病房中老年人生活质量的项目。所采用干预措施的目的是提高工作人员与居民的互动水平。该项目干预措施侧重于工作人员培训和额外的病房活动。互动水平通过一份先前发表的观察量表进行测量，该量表经过改编以适用于该客户群体。评分者间信度测量表明，改编后的量表仍然可靠。病房中的患者也接受了评估，以确定他们的依赖程度。研究结果表明，对于大多数观察类别，没有显著差异，但发现的差异与预期方向相反，表明互动水平有所下降。文中讨论了这一发现的可能解释。
