Abstract
Objectives
To collate evidence on how care home workers recognise and respond acute deterioration (AD) in residents using published primary research, non-indexed and grey literature including policies, guidelines and protocols.
Methods
A systematic scoping review was conducted following Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) scoping review methodology. Searches were conducted using: CINAHL (EBSCOhost), EMCARE (OVID), MEDLINE (OVID) and HMIC (OVID). Snowball searches of reference lists of included studies were conducted. Studies that featured care homes with/without nursing and provided 24/7 care to residents were included.
Results
382 studies were identified from four databases. After reviewing all studies against inclusion criteria, four were included in the review. No further studies were identified from snowball searches. All included studies used qualitative methods and were conducted in Australia. Three themes were identified from the review: identifying residents with AD; managing AD and factors affecting recognition and response to AD.
