Table 4.

Results of multi-level analysis (analysis of explained variance for 10 ACT concepts at unit and nursing home levels, n = 25 nursing homes)

1 n values. Facility (n = 25), Unit (n = 89), Healthcare Aide responses (n = 1243 to 1250 depending on the ACT concept: leadership n = 1247, culture n = 1251, evaluation n = 1245, social capital n = 1244, formal interactions n = 1250, informal interactions n = 1244, structural and electronic resources n = 1243, OS-staff n = 1257, OS-space n = 1254, OS-time n = 1249)

2 2 level model (unit, individual). % of total variance that can be explained by the unit level

3 2 level model (nursing home, individual) % of total variance that can be explained by the nursing home

4 3 level model (nursing home, unit, individual) % of total variance that can be explained by unit + nursing home

5 variance gained by adding nursing home (% unit + nursing home explained variance - % unit explained variance)

6 variance gained by adding unit (% unit + nursing home explained variance - % nursing home explained variance)
