摘要
Decision making for nursing home (NH) residents with Alzheimer disease and related dementias often involves input from multiple family members and NH staff to address goals of care at the end of life. Using data from the Assessment of Disparities and Variation for Alzheimer's disease Nursing home Care at End of life research study, a secondary analysis of qualitative data was conducted involving interviews of 144 NH staff and 44 proxies in 14 NHs to examine the perspectives of NH staff and proxies for NH residents with Alzheimer disease and related dementias on the involvement of multiple family members in decision making about end-of-life care decisions. Interviews took place between 2018 and 2021. Nursing home staff and proxies had differing perspectives of the involvement of multiple family members in decision making, with NH staff primarily viewing families as a source of conflict, whereas proxies viewed families as a source of support. Nursing home staff also had differing opinions of their role with families; some attempted to ameliorate conflict, and some did not get involved. Some NH staff felt that Black families had more conflict than White families, indicating unacceptable bias and stereotyping of Black families by NH staff. These findings suggest training and education is needed for NH staff to facilitate better communication with families and to support proxies in end-of-life decision making to address goals of care for NH residents with Alzheimer disease and related dementias.
