Ethics approval and consent to participate
: The study was approved by the Regional ethical review board of Gothenburg University (reference number 578–11). Statement of consent: Included residents were provided both written and verbal information. Informed approval was obtained from decision-capable individuals. Written informed consent was the standard procedure. If physical disability prevented the participant from personally signing, the attending nurse affirmed with a signature that informed verbal consent was obtained. However, many participants had varying forms of dementia. If a resident lacked comprehension of the provided information, they participated only if they or their surrogates, such as s spouse or child/children, did not refuse participation after the provision of information regarding the study. This procedure was approved by the Regional ethical review board of Gothenburg University.
