Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Vietnam's rapidly aging population has increased the demand for institutional care, highlighting the importance of understanding quality of life (QoL) among older adults in nursing homes. This cross-sectional study, conducted in 2025 in Hanoi, will explore associations between QoL and factors such as demographics, health status, and social support. Data will be collected through structured interviews using validated tools (e.g., WHOQOL-BREF, Barthel Index, MSPSS, MNA-SF, NRS, GDS-15) and analyzed with descriptive and inferential statistics. The study expects to show that functional independence and strong social support are linked to better QoL. Findings will provide evidence to guide nursing practice, care planning, and policy development for older adults in Vietnam's long-term care facilities.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Background: The aging of Vietnam's population has led to a growing demand for institutional care, underscoring the need to understand the quality of life (QoL) among older adults living in nursing homes. This study aims to identify and analyze factors associated with QoL, with a focus on demographic characteristics, health- related status, and perceived social support.

Methods: A cross-sectional study will be conducted in 2025 using convenience sampling from selected nursing homes in Hanoi. Participants will be aged 60 years or older, have resided in the facility for at least three months, be cognitively capable of communication, and provide informed consent. Data will be collected via structured face-to-face interviews using standardized instruments, including the WHOQOL- BREF, Barthel Index, Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA-SF), Numerical Raiting Scale (NRS) and Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-15). SPSS version 27 will be used for data analysis, employing descriptive and inferential statistics such as t-tests, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation, and multiple linear regression.

Expected Results: It is anticipated that higher levels of functional independence and perceived social support will be positively associated with better QoL outcomes.

Expected Conclusion/Implications: Findings from this study are expected to contribute to evidence-based nursing practice and inform care planning and policy- making to improve the well-being of older adults in long-term care facilities in Vietnam.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Nursing home residents aged 60+

This cohort consists of older adults aged 60 years and above residing in selected nursing homes in Hanoi, Vietnam, who have lived in the facility for at least three months, scored within the normal range on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), and provided informed consent. Participants will complete structured face-to-face interviews using standardized instruments to assess quality of life, functional status, nutrition, depression, and perceived social support. No intervention will be administered, as this is an observational study.
