| Annotation | Research describing the social world of elderly residents of nursing homes is organised in this paper into three levels of analysis: the institutional, relational and the interactional. The significance of each level is highlighted, with attention given to the interactional level of analysis and the study of language within the nursing home. Data gathered from semi-structured interviews show this can be used as evidence of interactional problems in resident/staff relationships. Implications and future prospects of incorporating the three levels of analysis into the study of the psychosocial well-being of nursing home residents are considered. (KJ). |
