abstract = {Delirium is a neuropathological syndrome that is associated
with several negative outcomes. Nursing home residents are
vulnerable to developing delirium. Valid prevalence data and
associated factors are not yet available for Germany.
Therefore, the aim of the prevalence study of the DeliA
project (Delirium in Nursing Homes) is to assess the
prevalence of delirium and its associated factors in 750
nursing home residents.Trained registered nurses from each
participating nursing home will collect the data in a
multicentre cross-sectional study. The inclusion criteria
for residents are valid informed consent, age ≥65 years
and sufficient language skills. The exclusion criteria are
aphasia, coma, deafness or end-of-life status. The 4 'A's
Test will be used as the primary measurement. Delirium motor
subtypes will be determined using the Delirium Motor Subtype
Scale. Covariables for associated factors, including
functional impairments, pain, cognitive status and
nutritional status, are assessed through standardised
measurements. Moreover, data such as prescribed drugs or
medical diagnosis, hearing impairment or falls will be
assessed from the nursing records. Furthermore, the Drug
Burden Index will be calculated, and associated factors will
be determined using a logistic regression model. The period
for data collection in participating nursing homes is
planned for 2 consecutive weeks in April 2024.This study was
approved by the Ethics Committee of Witten/Herdecke
University (no. 82/2023). Findings will be published in
peer-reviewed journals and presented at
conferences.https://osf.io/xkfvh/ (DOI
