Abstract
Objectives
The percentage of younger nursing home (NH) residents (ages 18–64 years) in some countries
such as the United States and Canada has been increasing over the years. In fact,
it is generally held that younger NH residents are considerably different from the
older residents (age ≥65 years). There is a need to understand who they are, why they
resided in NHs, and their quality of life (QoL). The aims of the study were to describe
the experiences, needs, and QoL among younger residents living in NHs.
Design
Scoping review.
Settings and Participants
(Younger) Residents of NHs.
Methods
Five databases (PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Web of Science, and Scopus) and Google Scholar
were used to search for relevant studies. PRISMA diagram was used to guide this scoping
review.
Results
The key findings of the study cover 5 themes: (1) Confinement, (2) Lack of socialization,
(3) Lack of privacy, (4) Lack of appropriate settings, and (5) Loss of identity, as
well as results of QoL were generated.
Conclusions and Implications
This scoping review provides a deeper understanding of the lived experiences, needs,
and QoL among younger NH residents. The results provide suggestions for future studies
regarding new interventions to optimize the QoL of NH residents.
