CNA = certified nurse assistant.
Percentages are nonduplicated cases and are adjusted for clustering within CNA and unit.
Significant comparisons based on chi-square tests with adjustment for clustering are as follows: age <65 y vs. ≥95 y (P = 0.021); no or mild cognitive impairment vs. moderate, severe, or very severe cognitive impairment (P < 0.001) and no, mild, or moderate cognitive impairment vs. severe or very severe cognitive impairment (P < 0.001); no or slight vision impairment vs. moderate or severe impairment or blind (P < 0.001); no or slight hearing impairment vs. moderate or severe impairment or deaf (P = 0.001); in wheelchair during interview vs. not in wheelchair (P = 0.002); ambulation status (P < 0.001); residing on dementia unit P = 0.002); residing on short-term rehabilitation unit (P = 0.002); type of room (P = 0.001); number of residents assigned to CNA (P = 0.004); summer vs. winter, spring, or fall (P < 0.001).
