541	Development of the theory of shared communication : the process of communication between parents of hospitalized technology dependent children and their nurses Giambra, Barbara Klug January 2014 (has links) Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / Technology dependent children such as those who require a feeding tube, tracheotomy or ventilator are a special group of chronically ill children who require complex care on a daily basis. When these children are hospitalized, the accompanying parent and the nurse caring for the child on the inpatient unit must communicate together about the care of the child. Care for the technology dependent child is optimized when parents and nurses both understand the plan of care for the child. To discover the process of parent-nurse communication that results in mutual understanding of the child’s plan of care, a grounded theory study to explore the perspectives of the parents of previously hospitalized technology dependent children was undertaken. The Theory of Shared Communication emerged from the data and illuminates the parent-nurse communication process. The antecedents of the process are respect for own and others expertise. The communication process consists of six communication behaviors; ask, listen, explain, advocate, verify understanding and negotiate roles. The behaviors are nested within each other and all are not necessarily required for the non-linear process to result in the relational outcome of mutual understanding of the child’s plan of care. An integrative review of the literature regarding the process of communication between parents of hospitalized chronically ill children and their nurses shed light on the components of the process, but no study was found that explicated the entire communication process. A subsequent grounded theory study added the perspectives of the nurses to the original theory. No new components of the process were uncovered, but the nurse’s narratives added significantly to our understanding of the communication process. Additionally, parents of currently hospitalized technology dependent children confirmed the propositions of the Theory of Shared Communication.

542	Les significations du deuil blanc pour des personnes proches aidantes de personnes âgées vivant en centre d’hébergement Fillion, Lawrence 12 1900 (has links) Le deuil blanc est peu connu des professionnels de la santé, pourtant cette expérience peut affecter toutes personnes proches aidantes d’une personne vivant avec un trouble neurocognitif. Il consiste en une réponse émotionnelle et physique pouvant survenir lorsque des pertes sont constatées chez la personne vivant avec un trouble cognitif. Les connaissances sur les significations du deuil blanc sont limitées et insuffisantes pour le développement d’interventions efficaces. Le but de l’étude était de comprendre les significations de l’expérience du deuil blanc vécue par des personnes proches aidantes de personnes vivant avec un trouble cognitif et vivant en centre d’hébergement. Dans le cadre d’une phénoménologie descriptive, six personnes proches aidantes ont participé à une entrevue individuelle et celles-ci ont été analysées par la méthode de Giorgi. Les résultats décrivent que les personnes proches aidantes vivent des changements relationnels et des sentiments pénibles provoqués par les changements cognitifs qui progressent. Ceci les amène à ressentir des sentiments ambivalents concernant l’hébergement du proche et demande aux personnes proches aidantes de prendre soin d’eux-mêmes pour poursuivre leur implication. Ces résultats permettront de faciliter la compréhension des professionnels en centre d’hébergement sur le phénomène et d’améliorer la reconnaissance du deuil blanc pour mieux soutenir les personnes proches aidantes. Aussi, les résultats pourront soutenir d’autres études pour identifier des éléments conduisant à des interventions adaptées pour les personnes proches aidantes. / Pre-death grief is not well known to health professionals, yet this experience can affect all care partners of people living with a neurocognitive disorder. It is an emotional and physical response related to the losses observed in the affected person. Knowledge about the meanings of pre-death grief is limited and insufficient for the development of effective interventions. The purpose of this study was to understand the meanings of the pre-death grief experienced by care partners of a cognitively impaired person living in a long-term care home. Using a descriptive phenomenology, six care partners participated in an individual interview, and these were analyzed using Giorgi's method. The results describe that the care partners experience relational changes and distressing feelings caused by the advancing cognitive changes. This leads to ambivalent feelings regarding their relative living in a long-term care home and requires care partners to take care of themselves to continue their involvement. These results will facilitate the understanding of long-term care home professionals' regarding this phenomenon and improve recognition of pre-death grief to better support care partners. Also, the results may support other studies to identify elements leading to adapted interventions for care partners. deuil blanc perte soins de longue durée personnes proches aidantes aidants naturels troubles neurocognitifs démence centre d’hébergement soins infirmiers phénoménologie pre-death grief loss long-term care care partners informal caregivers neurocognitive disorders dementia nursing homes nursing care phenomenology
543	Evaluation eines Serious Games zur Präventions- und Gesundheitsförderung älterer Menschen in (teil-)stationären Pflegeeinrichtungen / unter Berücksichtigung der Konstitutionen von Pflegeheimbewohnenden und der Auswirkungen der Corona-Pandemie Kleschnitzki, Jana Marina 02 January 2024 (has links) Die alternde Bevölkerung gehört zu den größten gesellschaftlichen Herausforderungen sämtlicher Industrienationen. Bewegungsanregungen wird im Rahmen des Altersverfalls eine signifikant präventive Schlüsselrolle zuerkannt, wobei auch Serious Games großes Präventionspotenzial und vielseitige Gesundheitsförderung zugeschrieben wird. Diese Dissertation widmet sich einer Zustandsdarstellung älterer Menschen im deutschen Pflegekontext, um folgend die Potenziale eines Serious Games zur Gesundheitsförderung älterer Menschen unter Einbezug des Pandemieeinflusses zu evaluieren und reflektierende Handlungsempfehlungen dieses Untersuchungssettings abzuleiten. Evaluiert wurde ein Serious Game zur Förderung physischer, kognitiver und psychischer Kompetenzen – zu Beginn bei 1000 älteren Menschen in 100 Pflegeeinrichtungen in Deutschland über ein Jahr hinweg anhand einer IG und KG. Die Studiendurchführung eröffnete Diskrepanzen, sodass unter anderem Folgeuntersuchungen wie RCT Designs, Drop-Out-Regelungen und differenzierte Messinstrumente empfohlen werden. Die deskriptive Analyse konstatiert ein literaturgeleitetes Bild, das geprägt ist von großer Varianz und einer Wechselwirkung eruierter Konstitutionen. Die aufgrund restriktiver Maßnahmen während der COVID-Pandemie stark verringerte Stichprobe zeigte im Vergleich zur KG sowohl erste tendenziell positive Veränderungen in den gemessenen Kognitionswerten (MMST) als auch in den Motorikwerten (Tinetti-Test), wobei der Einfluss der Isolationsmaßnahmen diese Entwicklung nivellierte. Die erhobenen Werte evidierten einen entscheidenden Einfluss auf die Motorik der Teilnehmenden aufgrund von Pandemie-Restriktionen. Dieses Ergebnis reiht sich in die aktuelle Forschungslage ein: Serious Games – vorausgesetzt, sie sind qualitativ hochwertig evaluiert und werden regelmäßig und langfristig gespielt – ist als Präventionsinstrument in der Regelversorgung und notwendigen Aktivierung von pflegebedürftigen Potenzial beizumessen. / Aging population is amongst the biggest societal challenges of the future of all industrial nations. These challenges can be faced by technological measures as Serious Games with have a big potential in preventing and promoting health, just as benefiting from the key role of mobility as a preemptive effective measure. This dissertation is first committed to give an overview of the condition of elderly people in German nursing contexts. It will then evaluate the potentials of a serious game for health-promotion of elderly people plus the influence of the pandemic and in order to derive recommendations for future studies. The study design evaluates a Serious Game for the promotion of physical, cognitive and psychological competencies, beginning with 1000 elderly people in 100 nursing facilities in Germany over the course of one year by means of an IG and CG. The implementation of the study unveiled discrepancies, so that following investigations, RCT-designs, clear drop-out-regulations and differentiated measuring instruments are recommended. The descriptive analysis of elderly people in nursing homes states a literature driven image of their specific constitution which is characterized by a big variance and an interactive multidimensionality of their main constitutions. The sample, which was very diminished due to the Corona-pandemic, showed first tendentially positive changes within the measured cognitive values (MMST) as well as in the motor values (Tinetti-Test) compared to the CG, whereas the influence of the isolation measures leveled this development, which suggests that the pandemic-restrictions had a crucial impact on motor skills of the participants. This result is consistent with the current research which attributes great potential to serious games as a preventive measure in standard care and for the necessary activation of those in need of care - given that those games are evaluated in a high-qualitative manner and are played regularly and long term.

544	Ontario’s Home First Approach, Care Transitions, and the Provision of Care: The Perspectives of Home First Clients and Their Family Caregivers English, Christine 23 May 2013 (has links) Home First is an Ontario transition management approach that attempts to reduce the pressure on hospital and Long Term Care (LTC) beds through early discharge planning, the provision of timely and appropriate home care, and the delay of LTC placement. The purpose of this qualitative descriptive study was to obtain descriptions from South Eastern Ontario Home First clients and their family caregivers of their experiences with and thoughts about care transitions, the provision of care, and the Home First approach. The goal was to enable insight into the Home First approach, care transitions, and the provision of care through access to the perspectives of study participants. Nine semi structured interviews (and one or more follow-up calls for each interview) with Home First clients discharged from hospitals in South East Ontario and their family caregivers were conducted and their content analyzed. All participating Home First clients were pleased to be home from hospital and did not consider LTC placement a positive option. All had family involved with their care and used a mix of formal and informal services to meet their care needs. Four general themes were identified: (a) maintaining independence while responding (or not) to risks, (b) constraints on care provision, (c) communication is key, and (d) relationship matters. Although all Home First clients participating in the study were discharged home successfully, a sense of partnership between health care providers, families, and clients was often lacking. The Home First approach may be successfully addressing hospital alternative level of care issues and getting people home where they want to be, but it is also putting increasing demands on formal and informal community caregivers. There is room for improvement in how well their needs and those of care recipients are being met. Health professionals and policy makers must ask caregivers and recipients about their concerns and provide them with appropriate resources and information if they want them to become true partners on the care team. / Thesis (Master, Rehabilitation Science) -- Queen's University, 2013-05-23 16:10:53.323 home support workers home health care community care older home support clients elder care discharge planning relationships family relationships nursing home Ontario health care Canadian health care placement Home First transition management care transitions aging in place maintaining independence caregiving community health and support services community long-term care family carers frail seniors client satisfaction hospital discharge health care older people aged frail elderly aging elderly supportive home care client perspectives long-term care quality of care evaluation of services care planning risk decisions case management communication independence home care constraints on care provision maintaining independence qualitative research family caregivers nursing home placement qualitative description program evaluation alternative level of care patient discharge self-care formal care aged care informal care post-discharge care home support community support services health services research
545	From the "rising tide" to solidarity: disrupting dominant crisis discourses in dementia social policy in neoliberal times MacLeod, Suzanne 26 March 2014 (has links) As a social worker practising in long-term residential care for people living with dementia, I am alarmed by discourses in the media and health policy that construct persons living with dementia and their health care needs as a threatening “rising tide” or crisis. I am particularly concerned about the material effects such dominant discourses, and the values they uphold, might have on the collective provision of care and support for our elderly citizens in the present neoliberal economic and political context of health care. To better understand how dominant discourses about dementia work at this time when Canada’s population is aging and the number of persons living with dementia is anticipated to increase, I have rooted my thesis in poststructural methodology. My research method is a discourse analysis, which draws on Foucault’s archaeological and genealogical concepts, to examine two contemporary health policy documents related to dementia care – one national and one provincial. I also incorporate some poetic representation – or found poetry – to write up my findings. While deconstructing and disrupting taken for granted dominant crisis discourses on dementia in health policy, my research also makes space for alternative constructions to support discursive and health policy possibilities in solidarity with persons living with dementia so that they may thrive. / Graduate / 0452 / 0680 / 0351 / macsuz@shaw.ca social determinants of health social exclusion crisis discourse Alzheimer's Alzheimer Society of Canada Suzanne MacLeod Susan Strega Donna Jeffery poststructural poststructuralism admission to long-term care funding for long-term care acute care aging demographic BC Psychogeriatric Association biomedical British Columbia Canada Health Act collective social responsibility competition corporate profit corporatization deresponsibilization elder friendly elderly citizens family caregivers Foucault found poetry genealogy of power knowledge incompetent Ministry of Health moral economics pharmaceutical bed blocker stigmatized tsunami absent-person action plan aging population alternative discourse apocalyptic demography appropriate archaeology archaeology of knowledge archaeological British Columbia burden Canada caregiver charity charitable collective collective car community community care condition of possibility conditions of possibility corporate counter-discourse dementia dementia care dementia policy dementia social policy dependent depoliticize discourse discourse analysis disruptive discourse economic burden economics economy elder emergency epidemic exclusion fear-monger Foucauldian found poem genealogy genealogical health authority health care health care staff health care system health policy document healthy lifestyle home and community care homogenization homogenize hospital imaginaries imaginary incapable individual responsibility individualism knowledge long-term care material effect materiality of discourse media moral panic national strategy neoliberal neoliberalism neoliberal rationality not prepared object objectification other person-centered people living with dementia person living with dementia persons living with dementia person with dementia poem poetic representation poetry policy policies political politics power power knowledge power relations private privatize privatization productivity of dominant discourse public health care residential care resistance responsibility responsibilization rising tide safety net shift costs to caregivers responsibility social policy imaginary social well-being social work social worker solidarity specialized stakeholder state stigma subject matter expert taxpayer threat unprepared unproductive voluntary volunteer wait time wave social policy

VRZALOVÁ, Monika January 2016 (has links) The diploma thesis deals with problems of depression in older people. Mainly the work is focused on identifying and analyzing the role of nurses in screening for depression in older people in primary care, acute care, long-term care and home care. This thesis was focused on theoretical direction and was used the method of design and demonstration. In this thesis was set one main goals with five research questions. The main goal was to identify and analyze the role of nurses in screening for depression in the elderly. RQ 1: What is the role of the nurse in screening for depression in the elderly? RQ 2: What is the role of the nurse in the primary care in screening for depression in the elderly? RQ 3: What is the role of the nurse in screening for depression in hospitalized patients in acute care? RQ 4: What is the role of the nurse in screening for depression in seniors in long-term and home care? RQ 5: What rating scales and methods are used in screening for depression in the elderly? The thesis introduce the concept of depression. The following are specified the causes of and the important factors that affect depression in the elderly. It also deals the differences in the clinical symptomatology of depression in old age. It explains possibilities and various barriers in the diagnosis of depression. Another chapter introduces complete geriatric examination, diagnostic classification systems, possible screening methods and scales for detection of depression in the elderly population. It also deals methods of pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment and its possible complications associated with older age. By reason of increased suicide rate caused by depressive disorder the issue of suicidal behavior in the elderly is introduced. The next chapter deals with the nursing process, which is used by nurses in practice. It consists of the evaluation of the patient's health condition, making nursing diagnosis, creating nursing plan and subsequent implementation and evaluation. The nursing process is also needy for providing quality care. The nursing process in the stage of nursing diagnosis, introduces possible nursing diagnosis for a patient suffering from depression, which are based on the latest classification. Finally is described the role of nurses in screening for depression in the elderly in different health facilities and their contribution to the timely evaluation of depression in the elderly. This chapter introduces the role of nurses, nursing screening and collaboration with a physician. The role of nurses in screening for depression in different medical facilities is based on the first phase of the nursing process of assessment. On the basis of objective and subjective information, the nurse will assess the overall health and mental condition of the patient. Primarily, it was investigated what is the role of the nurse in screening for depression. On the basis of content analysis and synthesis it was necessary to used and processed domestic and foreign literature. A number of relevant sources are the results of various studies and Meta-analyzes, mostly from abroad, but also from the Czech Republic. The thesis can serve as a basis for nurses. The result of this thesis is to create e-learning material available for students in the Faculty of Health and Social Sciences of South Bohemia in Ceske Budejovice in the tutorial called Moodle.
