Long-term care during the Corona pandemic - Main results from a nationwide online survey in nursing homes in Germany Background: As a highly vulnerable group, people in need of long-term care are particularly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to their care-dependency, measures of social distancing can only be carried out to a very limited extent. In addition, the social and health consequences of reduced contacts are particularly high for nursing home residents.
The study aims to describe the extent to which nursing homes are affected, the human and material resources of nursing homes, the organizational handling of the situation, and their requests for public support.
More than 7,000 nursing homes were invited to participate in an online survey with quantitative and qualitative elements. Data analysis applies descriptive statistics.
824 nursing homes participated in the survey. One in five nursing homes has at least one confirmed case of SARS-CoV-2 among its residents and / or employees. The initial lack of protective equipment has now decreased, but the facilities still have to cope with additional corona-related care needs with reduced staff. Nursing homes have banned contacts between residents and relative to an extent that now has to be reduced again. Nursing homes demand the provision and external financing of protective equipment as well as the systematic and regular testing of nursing staff and the provision of uniform guidelines for action throughout Germany.
As about half of all deceased people with COVID-19 have been living in nursing homes, the support of nursing homes in their attempt to restrict the pandemic requires highest attention.
新冠疫情期间的长期护理——德国养老院全国在线调查的主要结果 背景：作为一个高度脆弱的群体，需要长期护理的人群尤其受到新冠疫情的影响。由于他们对护理的依赖，社交距离措施只能在非常有限的程度上实施。此外，接触减少对养老院居民的社会和健康影响尤为严重。
本研究旨在描述养老院受影响的程度、养老院的人力和物力资源、对这种情况的组织处理方式以及它们对公共支持的请求。
邀请了7000多家养老院参与一项包含定量和定性元素的在线调查。数据分析采用描述性统计方法。
824家养老院参与了调查。五分之一的养老院在其居民和/或员工中至少有一例确诊的新冠病毒病例。最初防护设备的短缺现在已经有所缓解，但这些机构仍需在员工减少的情况下应对与新冠相关的额外护理需求。养老院已经在一定程度上禁止了居民与亲属之间的接触，而现在这种限制程度必须再次放宽。养老院要求提供防护设备并给予外部资金支持，以及对护理人员进行系统定期检测，并在全德国提供统一的行动指南。
由于所有新冠死亡患者中约有一半居住在养老院，因此在养老院试图限制疫情传播的过程中给予支持需要得到高度重视。
