Factors Associated With Low and High Social Engagement Among Older Nursing Home Residents in Korea

Jae Yoon Yi et al.

Summary: This study aims to assess the level of social engagement among older adults in Korean nursing homes and identify the factors associated with high and low engagement. The findings show that the majority of older residents have a low level of social engagement, while only a small portion have a high level of engagement. Risk factors for low social engagement include being male, having severe functional impairments, depression, and lack of supportive family relationships. Conversely, a high level of social engagement is associated with being female, having no impairments, and a longer length of stay. Meeting staffing requirements for personal care assistants is negatively associated with low social engagement and positively associated with high social engagement. These results highlight the importance of addressing social engagement factors in improving long-term care for nursing home residents.
