This study conducts an in-depth analysis of the nursing service needs of the older adults, to offer a scientific basis for the improvement of nursing services in long term care facilities.
A questionnaire survey was conducted among the older adults of 24 long term care facilities in Hangzhou, China from March 1 to June 30, 2024. The needs scale of older adults nursing service was used for survey. Bivariate and multivariable linear regression analyses were performed to identify factors associated with nursing service needs in long-term care facilities.
The study sample comprised 1,242 older adults from long-term care facilities. The mean total score for nursing service needs was 162.15 ± 14.38, suggesting a relatively high demand for nursing services among older adults in these facilities.
