The findings indicate that older persons living in long-term care institutions with fewer or no children, a higher level of education, and/or lower activities of daily living, as well as those unable to walk and/or suffering from depression, face a relatively greater risk of suffering from low dignity. In light of this, professional caregivers working in long-term care institutions should place greater emphasis on providing dignified care to older persons.
