The purpose of this descriptive literature review was to describe the challenges that elderly in nursing home encountered in their activities of daily living and how could nurses maintain their remaining abilities in nursing homes. The aim of this descriptive literature review was to provide more information related to the challenges that the elderly in nursing home faced in their daily living activities. Therefore, this information would help nurses to maintain the remaining abilities of the elderly in nursing homes.
Data were collected from databases CINAHL and PubMed according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Ten (10) articles were selected through PRISMA. Furthermore, inductive content analysis was utilized to analyse and synthesize the data.
Under the first study question, what are the challenges affecting the activities of daily living among elderly in nursing home. Five generic categories were established as morbidity in elderly, environmental factors, individual factors, functional impairment, presence of pain. For the second study question, how could nurses maintain the remaining abilities in activities of daily living among elderly in nursing homes. Three generic categories were found such as nursing assessment, nursing intervention and nursing evaluation.
Elderly in nursing home care suffer from multimorbidity and a growing requirement for complicated care treatments. Physical and social inactivity is connected with cognitive and physical deficits, which may lead to other health-related issues, such as the advancement of chronic illnesses that can lead to dependency on activities of daily living such as dressing, eating, bathing and toileting.
