Hypothesis

Standardized quantitative measures of nursing home care quality for older people with HIV or sexual and gender minority populations are sparse.

Conclusion

HIV care quality in nursing homes has been measured, but general clinical care quality for people with HIV using nursing homes has not.

Supporting Evidence

  • 764 articles were initially identified in the literature search.
  • 8 studies specifically measured care quality for people with HIV.
  • 1 study and 1 report found low willingness to provide care for SGM populations.

Takeaway

This study looked at how well nursing homes care for older people with HIV and those who identify as sexual and gender minorities, finding that there's not enough good information on their care.

Methodology

A scoping review was conducted with an initial search resulting in 764 articles, focusing on studies that quantified care quality for HIV and SGM populations in nursing homes.

Limitations

No studies examined the overlap of HIV and SGM populations, and there is insufficient empirical data measuring clinical care quality for SGM using nursing homes.

Participant Demographics

Older people with HIV and sexual and gender minority populations.
