In planning and implementing a study, we unintentionally and serendipitously obtained data about changes in resident mix over a 2.8-yr. period. We screened residents of a 184-bed nursing home for cognition and sensorium in October 1984 to assess sampling feasibility for a grant proposal in preparation. At that time, 65.2% of the residents met the sampling criteria. However, in July/August 1987, after award of funding, only 5.4% of residents of the same nursing home met the cognitive and sensory criteria. We were forced to recruit from an additional six nursing homes, in which only 9.3% of residents met the sampling criteria.
在规划和实施一项研究时,我们无意之中且意外地获得了有关2.8年期间住院人员构成变化的数据。1984年10月,我们对一家拥有184张床位的疗养院的住院人员进行了认知和神志方面的筛查,以评估一份正在准备的资助申请的抽样可行性。当时,65.2%的住院人员符合抽样标准。然而,在1987年7月/8月获得资金后,同一家疗养院中只有5.4%的住院人员符合认知和感官标准。我们被迫从另外六家疗养院招募人员,而在这些疗养院中只有9.3%的住院人员符合抽样标准。
