- Abstract:
- This study examined the associated factors of pain in nursing home residents in Austria. A secondary data analysis was conducted with data collected in the `Nursing Quality Measurement 2.0' study, which is conducted annually in Austrian healthcare institutions. Data from nursing homes from 2016 to 2019 were used. Of the 1,239 residents, 40.4% had experienced pain in the last 7 days and/or were experiencing pain at the time of the survey. The regression analysis showed that diseases of the musculoskeletal system, diseases of the skin and subcutaneous tissue, diseases of the circulatory system, pressure injuries, and a risk of malnutrition were statistically associated with pain (Chi 2 (11) = 82,392, p < 0.000). Healthcare professionals working in nursing homes need to be aware of associated factors when treating pain in residents. This awareness is important because it enables professionals to identify high-risk groups and take appropriate steps. (c) 2022 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier Inc.
