The Clinical Care Indicators (CCI) Tool was developed to fill an existing gap in quality assessment within Australian residential aged care facilities and it was used to explore potential links between clinical outcomes and QoL.<br \/>\nDesign and Setting: Clinical outcome and QoL data were collected within four residential facilities from the same aged care provider.<br \/>\nSubjects: Subjects were 82 residents of four facilities.<br \/>\nOutcome Measures: Clinical outcomes were measured using the CCI Tool and QoL data was obtained using the Australian WHOQOL\u2011100.<br \/>\nResults: Independent t\u2011test analyses were calculated to compare individual CCIs with each domain of the WHOQOL\u2011100, while Pearson\u2019s product moment coefficients (r) were calculated between the total number of problem indicators and QoL scores. Significant results suggested poorer clinical outcomes adversely affected QoL. Social and spiritual QoL were particularly affected by clinical outcomes and poorer status in hydration, falls and depression were most strongly associated with lower QoL scores. Poorer clinical status as a whole was also significantly correlated with poorer QoL.<br \/>\nConclusions: Hydration, falls and depression were most often associated with poorer resident QoL and as such appear to be key areas for clinical management in residential aged care. However, poor clinical outcomes overall also adversely affected QoL, which suggests maintaining optimum clinical status through high quality nursing care, would not only be important for resident health but also for enhancing general life quality.<\/p>\n<h2>Authors<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Mary Courtney<\/li>\n<li>Maria O&#8217;Reilly<\/li>\n<li>Helen Edwards<\/li>\n<li>Stacey Hassall<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Keywords<\/h2>\n<p>quality of care, aged care, residential facilities, quality assessment, quality of life<\/p>\n<h2>References<\/h2>\n<p>References not available for this article.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article was originally published as: The relationship between clinical outcomes and quality of life for residents of aged care&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[124],"tags":[4047,4998,4830,2070,4997],"class_list":["post-7705","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-articles","tag-aged-care","tag-quality-assessment","tag-quality-of-care","tag-quality-of-life","tag-residential-facilities","wpcat-124-id"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
