My diploma thesis titled Societal perception of children raised in infants nursing homes and children homes is research focused. The thesis is divided into the theoretical and practical parts. The theoretical part in its first chapter addresses infant institutes. The second chapter deals with children homes their categorization and covers the disadvantages of children{\crq}s homes. The following chapter is concentrated on the associations that provide help to the children from children's homes. Further, we mention the Instruction of the Ministry of Health for running of the infant institutes and children's homes for children under three years of age. Furthermore, attention is focused at groups of children that are placed in constitutional care, their characteristics and the arguments for their placing in the constitutional care. In the next part, the roles of representatives of children, inanition syndrome information, aims and purposes of the constitutional care, living conditions in these institutions and the volunteers providing help to children in such circumstances are mentioned. Next chapters discuss the existing care types of forsaken children and spare-family care system problems. Later, the constitutional care in the Czech Republic is compared to the Great Britain model. At the end of the theoretical part, we analyze the options of further dwelling and integration of the individuals. The target of this work was to determine the perception of the children from infant institutes and children{\crq}s homes by the society. In our hypotheses we anticipated that the society does not sufficient information regarding the children from infant institutes and the children's homes and that male and female opinion are different. We assumed in our other hypothesis that the society anticipates that these children are future delinquents and that the opinion of younger people were different from those of older people. We used a method of questionnaire to confirm or reject the determined hypotheses. The questionnaire consists of 19 questions. 120 questionnaires were distributed with a 100% return rate. Conclusion of the thesis comprises findings from both the theoretical and practical parts.

Syfte : Syfte med denna litteraturstudie var att beskriva anhörigas upplevelser av vården i livets slutskede på särskilt boende. Metod: Litteraturstudien bygger på femton stycken vetenskapliga artiklar som har analyserats och granskats med hjälp av analysmetod enligt Evans (2002). Litteraturstudien genomfördes under våren 2018. Resultat : Dataanalysen av de vetenskapliga artiklarna resulterade i fyra stycken kategorier; Känsla av börda, Önskan att bli sedd, Behov av delaktighet och Behov av stöd. Majoriteten av resultatet baserades på artiklar från Europa. Slutsatser : Mer kunskap krävs när det gäller anhörigas upplevelser av vård i livet slutskede och hur sjuksköterskan kan bemöta anhöriga i detta. De 6 S:n kan vara ett verktyg som kan bidra till planeringen och på så sätt få anhöriga mer delaktiga vilket kan förbättra vården för patienten. / Purpose: The purpose of this literature study was to describe the relatives experience of care in the final stages of life in nursing homes.

The impact of a short-term training program upon learned helplessness among nursing home staff and residents was studied. Learned helplessness among staff was defined in terms of depression, self-monitoring, short-term memory, absenteeism, and turnover. Among residents, urinary incontinence was the selected measure of helplessness.

Bakgrund: Förekomsten av depression hos äldre personer på särskilt boende är ca tre gånger högre jämfört med de som bor i det egna hemmet. Faktorer som kan bidra till att utveckla depression sent i livet är bland annat svagt socialt nätverk och ensamhet. Det finns kunskapsbrister hos omvårdnadspersonalen på särskilda boenden gällande depression hos äldre personer. Syfte: Syftet var att beskriva faktorer som har betydelse i omvårdnaden av äldre personer med depression som bor på särskilt boende. Metod: Litteraturöversikt bestående av 9 vetenskapliga artiklar, insamlade via databaserna CINAHL och PubMed. Analys av artiklarnas kvalitet har gjorts med hjälp av granskningsmallar. Resultat : Fyra huvudteman identifierades: autonomi, kommunikation, emotionellt stöd och aktivitet. Autonomi visade sig kunna förbättra upplevd livskvalitet. Att sjuksköterskan har tid för samtal och en god kommunikation med den äldre visade sig betydelsefullt. Emotionellt stöd ansågs vara en värdefull del i sjuksköterskans omvårdnad. Aktivitet har en positiv inverkan på depression hos äldre personer på särskilt boende. Slutsats: Faktorer som har betydelse i omvårdnaden av äldre personer med depression är autonomi, individanpassade aktiviteter, god kommunikation, tid för stödjande samtal samt möjlighet att få emotionellt stöd. / Background: The prevalence of depression among elderly people is about three times higher for those living in nursing homes compared to those living in their own homes. Factors that can contribute to generate depression in late life is among other things, weak social network and loneliness. There is absence in knowledge about depression among the care staff working in nursing homes. Aim: To describe factors of importance when caring for elderly people with depression living in nursing homes. Method: A literature review consisting of 9 scientific articles, collected through the CINAHL and PubMed databases. Analysis of the articles' quality has been done using review templates. Results: Four main-themes were formed: autonomy, communication, emotional support and activity. Autonomy can increase the perceived quality of life. To give the elderly time for good communication was found to be significant. Emotional support was important in the nurses care. Activity has an positive impact on depression for elderly persons living in nursing homes. Conclusion: Factors of importance when caring for elderly people with depression are autonomy, individually designed activities, communication and opportunities to receive emotional support.

This study aimed to investigate the inter-relationships between self-stigma, loneliness, and culture among older adults with mental illness residing in nursing homes. This study also explored how this population experiences self-stigma and loneliness within the context of their cultural backgrounds. A mixed-methods approach was utilised. The first phase involved a quantitative face-to-face questionnaire survey (n=16). More than half of the study participants reported low levels of self-stigma (56.3%), yet a substantial number of them scored high on the self-stigma scale (43.8%). The analysis identified a statistical relationship between stereotype endorsement and marital status (sig. =.010). No relationship was identified between Internalised Stigma of Mental illness constructs (ISMI) and age, gender, religiousness, and educational level. Loneliness was identified to be prevalent among more than half of the sample (68.8%). There was also a positive correlation between loneliness, age (sig.=.062) and religiosity (sig.=.044). The second phase involved a qualitative hermeneutic phenomenological approach involving one-to-one semi-structured interviews (n=10). Seven themes emerged: ‘social loneliness’, ‘emotional loneliness’, ‘emotional reactions’, ‘coping mechanisms’, ‘insight into illness’, ‘understanding and view towards mental illness’, and ‘behavioural reactions’. Overall, the qualitative findings supported the quantitative results but also revealed additional theoretical and conceptual insight. Most participants were collectivistic-oriented, and most experienced both social and emotional loneliness. The degree of insight into mental illness played a key role in how self-stigma was experienced, while gender and culture were found to influence how loneliness was experienced. Based on the results of both phases, a new theoretical framework is posited that explains the relationships between the concepts of loneliness and self-stigma among this population. The study also evidences and discusses a wide range of methodological issues associated with the successful recruitment of nursing homes in older adult research.
