The global prevalence of dementia is growing rapidly, driving an increased use of residential long-term care (LTC) services. Performance indicators for residential LTC should support targeting of limited resources to promote person-centered care, health, and well-being for both patients and caregivers (formal and informal), yet many performance indicators remain focused on structure, process, or outcome measures that are only assumed to support personally relevant outcomes for those with dementia, without direct evidence of meaningfulness for these individuals. In this article, two complementary approaches to assessing quality in residential LTC serve as a lens for examining a series of tensions related to assessment in this setting. These include measurement-focused approaches using generic psychometrically valid instruments, often used to monitor quality of services, and meaning-focused approaches using individual subjective assessment of personally relevant outcomes, often used to monitor care planning. Examples from the European and U.S. literature suggest an opportunity to strengthen an emphasis on personally meaning-focused outcomes in quality assessment.

RÉSUMÉLes approches de soins centrées sur la personne sont de plus en plus recommandées en vue d’améliorer la qualité des soins de longue durée. Au Québec (Canada), l’approche relationnelle de soins a été implantée dans plusieurs établissements. Cette étude porte sur le point de vue des soignants formés sur l’utilité de cette approche ainsi que sur leur capacité à la transférer en pratique. Des questionnaires comportant des questions ouvertes ont été administrés un mois après la formation (n=392). Les réponses ont été catégorisées selon une approche qualitative. Les répondants perçoivent que certaines dimensions de l’approche sont hors de leur portée ou s’opposent à leurs croyances. Ils rapportent des pressions liées aux contraintes temporelles, à leurs collègues ainsi qu’aux familles des résidents. Ces résultats indiquent que la formation ne suffit pas à transformer les pratiques. Il faut également agir sur les croyances des individus ainsi que sur les situations de travail

Abstract Measuring what matters most to residents, relatives and staff in residential long-term care settings is critical, yet underdeveloped in our predominantly frailty and deficits-focused measurement frameworks. The Worldwide Elements to Harmonize Research in Long-Term Care Living Environments (WE-THRIVE) consortium has previously prioritized measurement concepts in the areas of care outcomes, workforce and staffing, person-centered care, and care context. These concepts include knowing the resident and what matters most to the resident, and outcomes such as quality of life, and personhood. We present findings of our currently recommended measures, including both general population and dementia-specific measures, such as the Person-Centered Care Assessment Tool (PCAT), the Personhood in Dementia Questionnaire (PDQ), and the ICEpop CAPability Measure for Older People (ICECAP-O). We also describe remaining gaps in existing measures that will need to be addressed to fully specify common data elements focused on measuring what matters most to residents, relatives and staff.
