This paper then highlights possible directions for future research by developing research propositions relating to the impact of person-based pay and the conditions likely to affect the nature of that impact.
This systematic review evaluates the evidence for an impact of person-centered interventions on aged-care residents and nursing staff.
On the other hand, the WHO Report 2008 [ 38] underlines the impact of person-based care in health improvement, quality of life, user trust and treatment adherence.
The purpose of this review was to evaluate the impact of person-centered care approaches on residents and staff in residential aged-care facilities.
26, 32, 33 Two of these facility-specific approaches 26, 32 evaluated the impact of person-centered interventions on organizational and workplace characteristics in addition to residents' wellbeing.
Forming accurate conclusions about the impact of person-centered interventions on residents and staff is hampered by the heterogeneity of the interventions and significant methodological differences between studies.
The studies in this review incorporated a range of different outcome measures (ie, dependent variables) to evaluate the impact of person-centered interventions on aged-care residents and staff.
26, 28, 32 Rigorous evaluation of the impact of person-centered approaches on aged-care residents has not been a priority among operators of aged-care facilities, nor of researchers and gerontologists.
To date, six quasi-experimental studies have evaluated the impact of person-centered interventions on aged-care residents and/or nursing staff, and their findings have been published in peer-reviewed journals.
POPAC can also be used in relation to different outcome variables to measure perceived impact of person-centred interventions on actual care practices and procedures as reported by staff.
