Biography

Biography: Anne-Marie Mahoney

Abstract

Transition to residential aged care has been identified as one of the most significant events for older people. This review has focused on factors influencing transition into residential aged care facilities for rural older adullts.  The review has focused on factors that protect against admision and factors that hinder or prevent admission as well as those that facilitate or encourage admission into residential aged care.  It also examined factors associated with both positive and negative transitions. This review utilised Whittmore and Knafl (2005)’s integrated review framework to guide data extraction.  Two researchers screend records using the 3-stage PRISMA flowchart process.  The final data has neen entered into a qualitative data analysis program (NVIVO) and analysed thematically by means of an inductive approach, where key themes across the four key outcome measures have been extracted and explored.  Differences between countries and different rural context (large/small) have been highlighted within the analysis.
