Ethics approval and consent to participate
: The study has been approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of the Leiden University Medical Center (ref. number P17.051).The treating elderly care physician selected eligible residents. When residents did not use pain medication, or used paracetamol that was only prescribed PRN, a study information letter was sent to the residents’ legal representative, explaining the purpose and procedures of the study. The legal representative was asked to return the consent form by mail, to indicate either consent or refusal to participate. Once consent was received, the resident was screened for eligibility to participate.
