Nursing home (NH) residents commonly face limitations in basic activities of daily living (BADLs), following a hierarchical decline. Understanding this hierarchy is crucial for personalized care. This study explores factors associated with early, middle, and late loss BADLs among NH residents. A multicenter cross-sectional was conducted 30 NHs Catalonia, Spain. Dependent variables were related to BADLs: early (self-care-related personal hygiene, dressing, or bathing), middle (mobility-related walking wheelchair handling, toileting, transferring), (eating). Independent based on comprehensive geriatric assessment institutional factors. Logistic regression used the multivariate analyses. The included 671 older adults. Early significantly urinary incontinence, cognitive impairment, falls. Middle linked fecal ulcers, impairment. Late not owning kitchen, neurological disease, dysphagia, polypharmacy, weight loss. These findings highlight need address syndromes, especially impairment bladder/bowel incontinence. Monitoring these syndromes could effectively anticipate care dependency. presence kitchens may help eating, allowing potential meal adaptation.

Introduction Despite several calls to deprescribe benzodiazepine receptor agonists (BZRA) in older adults, their use among nursing home residents (NHRs) remains high. Therefore, we developed an intervention targeting general practitioners’ and healthcare professionals’ behaviours regarding BZRA deprescribing homes (NHs): The END-IT NH (bENzodiazepines Deprescribing InTerventions Nursing homes) 6-component intervention. Before moving on a large-scale effectiveness cost-effectiveness evaluation, this feasibility study aims at: (1) assessing the of implementation NHs, (2) conducting larger-scale terms recruitment data collection (3) exploratory evaluation. Methods analysis We will conduct cluster-randomised controlled trial sample 6 with 10–15 NHRs included per NHs. Four NHs be randomised into group, two deliver usual care (control group). Data occur at baseline, 3, months (study end). collect information explore fidelity, mechanisms impact contextual factors patient-level, NH-level professional-level, using both quantitative qualitative measures. conduction assessed by measuring attrition rates completeness collection.

Institutionalized older adults often face complex medication regimens, increasing their risk of adverse drug events due to polypharmacy, overprescribing, interactions, or the use Potentially Inappropriate Medications (PIM). However, data on and associated risks in this population remain scarce. This pilot study aimed characterize sociodemographic, clinical pharmacotherapeutic profiles, PIM among institutionalized elders residing Residential Structures for Elderly People (ERPI) Faro municipality, located Portuguese region Algarve. We conducted a cross-sectional non-randomized sample 96 participants (mean age: 86.6 ± 7.86 years) where trained researchers reviewed profiles identified potentially inappropriate medications using EU(7)-PIM list. Over 90% exhibited polypharmacy (≥5 medications), with an average 9.1 4.15 per person. About 92% had potential including major moderate interactions. More than 86% used at least one medication, most commonly central nervous system drugs. demonstrates that may be high medication-related problems. Implementing comprehensive review programs promoting adapted prescribing practices are crucial optimize improve well-being vulnerable population.
