Promoting health among the institutionalized elderly. 1991

J F Robertson

1. Although health promotion is a current focus of nursing practice, the institutionalized elderly have not been a target of health promotion research by nurses. 2. Health promotion research in nursing home settings by other disciplines has shown that institutionalized elderly benefit from humanistic approaches and that lifestyle enhancement is possible in nursing home settings. 3. Long-term care nurses are in a unique position to empirically investigate the benefits and efficacy of health promotion interventions in institutionalized settings.
