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The sarse literature on blind nursing home residents describes them as isolated, withdrawn, and dependent.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.

Experimental Training

This study tests the effects of nursing home staff training in care for the dying on the quality of life of terminally ill patients. Ten matched community nursing homes were assigned randomly to experimental (training) or control (no training) conditions. Patients ( N = 306) admitted to the homes were assessed at admission, one month, and three months concerning quality of life as measured by depression, alienation, self-esteem, and locus of control. Satisfaction with care was also measured at one and three months. Patients in trained homes had less depression and greater satisfaction with care than patients in control homes at one and three months. Training effects were similar in all of the five homes. The study shows that a favorable impact on patient care can be achieved when staff in nursing homes are trained to work with dying patients.
