Abstract Prior work shows that older adults who establish future care plans have a lower risk of depression. Residents in long-term care may benefit from establishing a do-not-resuscitate (DNR) order when cardiopulmonary resuscitation is unlikely to provide medical benefit. The current study examines whether having a DNR order in place prior to COVID-19 diagnosis was associated with fewer depressive symptoms during the illness course. Residents at a NYC skilled nursing facility with a positive COVID-19 PCR test between 3/1/2020 – 6/1/2020 were included (N=338). The Minimum Data Set (3.0) was used to examine residents’ Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) scores 1-30 days after diagnosis, functional status, cognition, age, and sex. A retrospective chart review was conducted to determine whether participants had an established DNR, DNI, and/or DNH order before developing COVID-19. Forty-eight percent, 46%, and 12% of participants had a DNR, DNI, or DNH order prior to COVID-19 illness, respectively. Average PHQ-9 score was 1.65 (SD=2.37). A hierarchical regression showed that after controlling for age (β=-.13, p=.06), sex (β=-.08, p=.28), cognition (β=.14, p=.04), and functional status (β=.23, p=.001; R2=.10, p=.001), having a DNR (β=-.22, p=.006) order in place prior to COVID illness was associated with lower endorsement of depressive symptoms during illness (ΔR2=.04, p=.01). Results suggest that establishing a DNR in long-term care residents when appropriate may potentially buffer depressive symptoms during illness in nursing home residents regardless of their age, sex, cognitive abilities, and functional status. Future examination of the underlying mechanism is warranted.

The Individual

In this ethnographic study, nurses clearly described their beliefs, values, and experiences related to assessing pain in nursing home residents. These were affected by (a) the nurse’s perception of the role, (b) the resident’s ability to verbalize his or her pain, and (c) the nurse’s skill in identifying behavioral cues including nonverbal pain communications such as agitation or change in functional status. Knowledge of the individual resident was crucial; knowledge of the field of geriatric nursing was also important. Characteristics of the setting including formal and informal job expectations and the use of temporary nursing staff influenced practice.

Using Data

The sarse literature on blind nursing home residents describes them as isolated, withdrawn, and dependent. We introduce a model that links blindness to immobility, isolation, dependence, loss of affect, and disinterest in the outside world. Using data from one nursing home, we compared the functional status and mobility of residents who were blind before admission with that of residents who became blind after admission. The results suggest that preadmission blind residents' dependence, isolation, and immobility were attributed not solely to their blindness, but to their severe nonvisual disabilities, including hearing impairments. Postadmission blind residents, however, did suffer because of their blindness. To improve blind residents' quality of life, we offer practical suggestions for training nursing home staff.
