Description
Kimberly Curyto and co-authors survey mental health staff in veterans' nursing homes in this 2024 paper. The COVID-19 pandemic forced strict infection rules that reshaped care for older residents. The team asks how staff balanced safety rules against warm, person-centered care.
More than one hundred staff answered the national survey in late 2022. Care shifted from almost all in-person visits toward a mix with video calls. Themes from open answers tell a mixed story. Teams kept therapy and testing going and taught staff more, yet residents grew less engaged and their mood and thinking slipped. Staff also felt strain and team friction. The authors say the lessons should guide care in future outbreaks.
