Abstract: (1203 Views)
Background: Environmental characteristics, as well as the quality of health care services provided to older adults group, are among significant determinants of elderly quality of life. The present study was done to assess the quality of services delivered to elderly residents in nursing homes located in Tabriz, Iran in 2019.
Materials & Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on the elderly living in nursing homes in Tabriz, Iran, of whom 74 residents met the inclusion criteria and were included. The researchers referred to the nursing homes and recruited the participants with regard to the inclusion and exclusion criteria.
Results: Out of the 74 older adults, 35 and 39 cases were respectively male and female. The largest age group (43.2%) was related to those between 60 and 69 years old. Also, 71.6% of the elderly had been residing in nursing homes for 6-20 months. The rate of service quality in terms of the medical, psychological, welfare, and social domains was 66%, 48%, 68%, and 65%, respectively. Besides, no significant relationship was observed between demographic variables and total scores of service quality (P>0.05).
Conclusion: Paying attention to psychological services, including providing counseling and social work services, adapting the centers, and creating recreational departments can lead to an increase in psychological quality and ultimately, overall service quality.
