Although the residents in the study had social networks averaging 17 people, only two people visited the resident once per month or more. The most frequent visitors were the residents' spouses and children living within 15 kilometres of the nursing home, with younger relatives or friends mainly absent. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Australian Nursing Journal, 12(7), p. 31-32 | Publisher: | Australian Nursing Federation | Place of Publication: | Australia | ISSN: | 1320-3185 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 111702 Aged Health Care | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 929999 Health not elsewhere classified | HERDC Category Description: | C2 Non-Refereed Article in a Scholarly Journal | Publisher/associated links: | http://www.anf.org.au/html/publications_anj.html |
