Abstract
Purpose: To assess the impact of a home care intervention on the family support needs of nursing home residents through a group clinical trial and blinded outcome assessment.
Method: A cluster randomized trial was conducted at two nursing homes in Zhengzhou. Each nursing home was randomized to either the intervention or control group. Eighty-two residents were enrolled in the study. Intervention group participants (n = 41) received a family support intervention, and those in the control group (n = 41) received the institution's standard daily care routine. The Questionnaire of Family Support Needs; Perceived Social Support Scale; and Family Adaptation, Partnership, Growth, Affection, Resolve Index were used to assess post-intervention outcomes.
Results: There were no significant differences between groups regarding baseline data. There were statistically significant (p < 0.05) within-subject, between-subject, and interaction effects for both groups regarding family support needs, perceived social support, and family functioning.
Conclusion: Findings contribute to strengthening the care of residents in nursing homes, indicating the importance of family support, which can positively influence perceived social support and family function. The long-term efficacy of the intervention should be further verified. [Journal of Gerontological Nursing, 51(2), 24-31.].
