Researchers are evaluating an intervention aimed at reducing the risk of pressure ulcers, malnutrition, poor oral health, and falls among older adults living in nursing homes who are registered in the Senior Alert quality registry. The study involves nurse aides, registered nurses, and managers working in these nursing homes to improve preventive care processes and outcomes. This interventional study uses cluster randomization to compare the new intervention to usual care. The study includes two parts: workshops and intervention testing. Groups of nurse aides, registered nurses, and managers from nursing homes assigned to the intervention group participate in workshops designed to develop a prevention intervention together with the research team. These workshops focus on discussing current challenges, improving preventive care routines, and designing the intervention components, which may include tools, educational support, and new ways of working. Nursing homes in the control group continue with their regular care practices. The intervention's feasibility and impact will be assessed through data collection and analysis. Participants' involvement includes data extraction from the Senior Alert registry on risk assessments and preventive care interventions for falls, pressure ulcers, malnutrition, and oral health at baseline (six months prior) and at one, six, and twelve months after the intervention. Additionally, all nurse aides and registered nurses in participating nursing homes will complete questionnaires on job satisfaction, stress, and conscience stress before and six months after the intervention. Background data such as age, gender, work experience, and education will also be collected. Data analysis will compare outcomes between intervention and control groups to evaluate the intervention's effects.
