Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the factors related to older adults’ adjustment while staying in long-term care hospitals.
Method: The subjects included 162 older adults from 7 long-term care hospitals, Gyeongsang-do. The data were collected from January 3, to February 22, 2020. The data analysis was performed using SPSS22.0 to conduct descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient, and stepwise multiple regression analysis.
Results: The factors related to older adults’ adjustment in long-term care hospitals were shown as long-term care hospitals’ satisfaction (β=.23, p=.001), institutionalized stigma (β=-.20, p=.002), self-esteem (β=.19, p=.005), education (β=.17, p=.008), education (β=.17, p=.009), interpersonal relation competence (β=.18, p=.014), meal satisfaction (β=.16, p=.015), and age (β=-.15, p=.016). The descriptive power of this regression model was 40%.
Conclusion: There is a need to investigate the effect of nursing intervention programs to improve older adults’ adjustment in long-term care hospitals.
