Abstract

Key summary pointsAimTo investigate the association between care satisfaction and quality of life as well as the impact of the Covid-19 contact restrictions on long-term care home residents in Germany.FindingsWhile self-rated nursing care satisfaction of long-term care residents was associated with quality of life, medical care satisfaction was not associated with quality of life. Furthermore, we showed that the Covid-19 restrictions had a negative impact on social participation in long-term care residents, which we argue to be due to less social activities.MessageQuality of life in long-term care residents is an important outcome criterion and this paper gives further implication for clinical practice in long-term care homes.
