Transportation, Social Support by Family Visitation, and Depression of Older Adult Nursing Home Residents: A Mixed-Methods Study
| 项目名称： | Transportation, Social Support by Family Visitation, and Depression of Older Adult Nursing Home Residents: A Mixed-Methods Study |
| 摘要： | This study uses a sequential mixed-methodological design to gather information from residents of nursing homes (NHs) and their family members to measure the impact transportation system outcomes have on institutionalized older adults� mental health. The research questions explore: 1) How transportation access and mobility of family members directly affect mental health outcomes (e.g., depression) of residents in nursing homes, 2) How transportation access and mobility of family members indirectly affect depression outcomes of residents in nursing homes through the mediation role of family social support by visitation, and 3) What the direct effects of family social support by visitation have on depression outcomes of residents in nursing homes, both challenges and opportunities to transportation access and mobility, as well as positive and negative experiences of transportation access and mobility. Data from the proposed study will examine the implications of transportation access and mobility on the health of a particularly isolated, vulnerable population (e.g., NH residents) in order to optimize transportation systems across individual-, family-, and community- members. Study outcomes will offer implications aimed at improving the mobility and mental well-being for individuals and families across the lifespan, including older adults in NH settings. |
