Ethics approval and consent to participate
: The Ethics Committee of the University of Lübeck approved the study in 2017 (Ref. 17–054). All nurses were informed verbally and/or in text about topic, goals, expected benefits and possible risks of the study (informed consent) before participating in the study. Filling out the questionnaire after receiving information was interpreted as consent to participate. Therefore, no additionally written consent was required. There was no need to provide study information to residents and acquire informed consent as residents were not involved in the data collection process and residents’ data were provided anonymously by nursing home staff.
