  1. aUnadjusted means are presented, these are similar to the estimated marginal means resulting from the hierarchical linear regression analyses
  2. *Statistically significant difference (p < 0.05). Associations between each information-seeking behavior and each subscale of the MAINtAIN-behaviors (range 1-9) were determined using hierarchical linear regression analyses (random intercept; level 1 - nursing staff, level 2 - nursing home), p-values presented are based on these analyses. No additional variables were added to the models. ICCs range from 0.06-0.09, 0.16-0.19 and 0.03-0.05 for the models with the outcome measure ADL, household activities and miscellaneous activities, respectively. Due to missing data, sample size for each analysis varies from 314 to 364
