BACKGROUND: Older adults with severe dementia are at increased risk of being physically restrained in nursing homes and acute care settings, but little is known about restraint use among those cared for at home. This study explores caregiver-reported use of restraints among community-dwelling older adults with severe dementia.
METHODS: Using cross-sectional data from 215 family caregivers, we describe restraint use among older adults with severe dementia living at home. We then use multivariable logistic regression to identify factors associated with restraint use.
RESULTS: Nearly half (47%) of caregivers reported on older adults who had been subject to restraints. Most caregivers reporting restraint use suggested safety reasons, such as prevention of falls (68%), wandering (30%), and removal of catheters or feeding tubes (29%); and 44% indicated doctors or other health care providers were involved in the decision to restrain. Feeding tubes (OR = 4.16, 95% CI: 1.27-13.59) and physically aggressive agitation behaviors (OR = 1.93, 95% CI: 1.09-3.40) were associated with higher odds of restraint use among older adults with severe dementia. Caregivers who received strong emotional support from friends (OR = 0.45, 95% CI: 0.21-0.95) were less likely to report restraint use while serving as a caregiver to others (OR = 2.77, 95% CI: 1.36-5.63) increased the odds of restraint use.
CONCLUSIONS: The pervasiveness of restraint use is concerning and suggests a lack of evidence-based guidance and support for both caregivers and healthcare providers to prevent restraint use among older adults with severe dementia cared for at home.
