Purpose: The purposes of this study were to examine the amount of daily fluid intake among nursing home residents and to explore the caregiver’’s perceived barriers to elderly’’s fluid intake.
Method: Data was collected from 111 nursing home residents and 64 caregiver’’s in 4 nursing homes. A random, non-consecutive three days of 24 hour fluid intake was measured and recorded. The caregiver’’s perceived barriers to elderly’’s fluid intake was assessed using a structured questionnaire.
Results: The average amount of daily fluid intake was 1,035(SD=359)ml with the range of 210m1 to 2,050ml. About 52% (n=58) of the subjects had a less than adequate fluid intake. The amount of daily fluid intake was significantly associated with age, mental status, physical functioning, and the number of oral medications ordered. The most frequently mentioned caregiver’’s perceived barrier was elderly’’s concern about incontinence with increased fluid intake.
Conclusion: Inadequate fluid intake among nursing home residents is prevalent. To enhance adequate hydration of nursing home residents, an institution wide nursing intervention is necessary.
