Future of an ageing population evidence review; Developing medical fitness and wellbeing environments to maintain health and wellbeing over the lifecourseMountain, Gail, Gomersall, T., Taylor, J. 20 July 2015 (has links)
Yes / and methods
This report is derived from a review of the research evidence on physical activity interventions
and initiatives, interventions to support self-management/ self-care of long-term conditions and
digitally enabled care services and technologies. The aim was to use existing evidence to
envision future services and associated infrastructure.
The Evidence Review involved scoping the literature for topics researched and to determine the
nature of that research. Rapid-scoping review methods were applied to trusted sources, and
searches for specific key texts were conducted. A separate search was conducted to identify
literature relevant to each domain. A narrative was then produced from the review findings.
Review findings
The evidence base for physical activity interventions is growing. There has been significant
recent investment in the development and evaluation of interventions to promote activity and
reduce sedentary behaviour at the individual, community and population levels. The evidence to
link higher levels of physical activity to positive health outcomes and disease prevention is
convincing, both in ‘well’ populations and in those with long-term health conditions.
Self-management interventions are heterogeneous in nature but common elements exist across
the majority of them. The consensus in the literature is that self-management will become
increasingly important due to unsustainable demands upon services. Evaluation of selfmanagement
interventions reveals a small but varying effect across a wide range of outcomes.
However, little is known about the mechanisms by which these interventions work and how
these might vary across differing conditions and populations.
Technology is being increasingly used to support service delivery in a wide range of contexts,
and for the delivery of a variety of interventions including fitness and self-management. There is
strong evidence supporting the use of technology for remote monitoring of people with longterm
conditions, but further research is required.
Implications
Digital applications are already altering established patterns of service delivery. The findings
presented here reveal varying results of efficacy which do not accord with the optimistic future
described in various envisaging reports. Research has yet to consider unwanted and
unforeseen effects of moving towards technology-enabled services. It is also important to
consider how to effectively harness new health data emerging from the use of eHealth systems,
technology-enabled services and health-tracking devices.
There is an ongoing requirement to evaluate new technologies and technology-enabled
services in ways that provide both timely and robust answers, particularly as technology
development is a continually moving target. These considerations are discussed in this report. / The evidence review was commissioned as part of the Foresight future of an ageing population project

Effective Dementia Education and Training for the Health and Social Care Workforce: A Systematic Review of the LiteratureSurr, Claire A., Gates, C., Irving, Donna, Oyebode, Jan, Smith, Sarah J., Parveen, Sahdia, Drury, Michelle, Dennison, Alison 31 July 2017 (has links)
Yes / Ensuring an informed and effective dementia workforce is of international concern; however, there remains limited understanding of how this can be achieved. This review aimed to identify features of effective dementia educational programs. Critical interpretive synthesis underpinned by Kirkpatrick’s return on investment model was applied. One hundred and fifty-two papers of variable quality were included. Common features of more efficacious educational programs included the need for educational programs to be relevant to participants’ role and experience, involve active face-to-face participation, underpin practice-based learning with theory, be delivered by an experienced facilitator, have a total duration of at least 8 hours with individual sessions of 90 minutes or more, support application of learning in practice, and provide a structured tool or guideline to guide care practice. Further robust research is required to develop the evidence base; however, the findings of this review have relevance for all working in workforce education.

The case for nurses as central providers of health and social care services for ex-offenders: a discussion paperEshareturi, Cyril, Serrant-Green, L., Bayliss-Pratt, L., Galbraith, V.E. 20 October 2013 (has links)
No / Ex-offenders re-enter their communities with limited pre-release preparation for the continuity of access to health care once outside prison. Once released, these individuals become hard to reach, do not consider health a priority and consequently use services to address their health and social care needs in a crisis-led way. Nevertheless, how nurses can best support these health-excluded group of individuals in the community remains vague and requires discussion.
It is argued that current dominant discourses around equity of care are contradicted in the provision of health and social care services to ex-offenders in the community. Effective engagement with community interventions may be achieved if ex-offenders maintain contact with frontline providers who can support both their structural and health needs.
Nurses are uniquely positioned to initiate and sustain contact with ex-offenders, intervening at points of greatest need in the community to address the socially significant health and social care issues that plague them.
The use of nurses in the provision of health and social care interventions to ex-offenders is a strategy, which could increase equity in access to health care, reduce reoffending and improve both the health and life chances of these individuals.

Konflikter och konflikthantering inom vård och omsorgssektorn : En litteraturstudie / Conflicts and conflict management within the health care sectorNehls, Angelicka, Slipicevic, Melina January 2024 (has links)
Konflikter är en vanlig företeelse i både arbetslivet och privatlivet, där människor med olika bakgrund och åsikter interagerar. Denna uppsats ämnar att öka förståelse för orsakerna till och hur konflikter hanteras på arbetsplatser inom vård- och omsorgssektorn. Genom en litteraturöversikt baserad på tio artiklar från CINAHL och ProQuest, Healthcare Administration Database, gjordes fynd och tre huvudteman identifierades genom analys: konflikthantering, konflikt och förebyggande av konflikt. Resultaten visar å ena sidan på negativa erfarenheter som generationskonflikter och bristande kommunikation mellan olika yrkesgrupper och intressenter. Å andra sidan identifierades positiva erfarenheter såsom coachingsmöjligheter och kompetensutveckling för att främja bättre samarbete och förståelse. Diskussionen belyser vikten av strukturerade åtgärder, såsom utbildningar och teamaktiviteter för att förebygga generationskonflikter. Det påpekas även ett behov av ytterligare forskning för att förstå dynamiken i relationskonflikter och för att implementera effektiva förebyggande strategier för både medarbetare och chefer/ledare. / Conflicts are a common occurrence in both working life and private life, where people with different backgrounds and opinions interact. This essay aims to increase understanding of the causes of and how conflicts are handled in workplaces within the care and social care sector. Through a literature review based on ten articles from Cinahl and ProQuest, Healthcare Administration Database some findings were made and three main themes were identified through analysis: conflict management, conflict and conflict prevention. The results show, on the one hand, negative experiences such as generational conflicts and a lack of communication between different professional groups and stakeholders. On the other hand, positive experiences such as coaching opportunities and skills development were identified to promote better cooperation and understanding. The discussion highlights the importance of structured measures, such as training and team activities to prevent generational conflicts. There is also a need for further research to understand the dynamics of relationship conflicts and to implement effective prevention strategies for both employees and managers/leaders.

Ethical and quality of care-related challenges of digital health twins in older care settings: Protocol for a scoping reviewMd Shafiqur Rahman, Jabin,, Yaroson, E.V., Ilodibe, A., Eldabi, Tillal 24 February 2024 (has links)
Yes / Digital health twins (DHTs) have been evolving with their diverse applications in medicine, specifically in older care settings, with the increasing demands of older adults. DHTs have already contributed to improving the quality of dementia and trauma care, cardiac treatment, and health care services for older individuals. Despite its many benefits, the optimum implementation of DHTs has faced several challenges associated with ethical issues, quality of care, management and leadership, and design considerations in older care settings. Since the need for such care is continuously rising and there is evident potential for DHTs to meet those needs, this review aims to map key concepts to address the gaps in the research knowledge to improve DHT implementation.
The review aims to compile and synthesize the best available evidence regarding the problems encountered by older adults and care providers associated with the application of DHTs. The synthesis will collate the evidence of the issues associated with quality of care, the ethical implications of DHTs, and the strategies undertaken to overcome those challenges in older care settings.
The review will follow the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) methodology. The published studies will be searched through CINAHL, MEDLINE, JBI, and Web of Science, and the unpublished studies through Mednar, Trove, OCLC WorldCat, and Dissertations and Theses. Studies published in English from 2002 will be considered. This review will include studies of older individuals (aged 65 years or older) undergoing care delivery associated with DHTs and their respective care providers. The concept will include the application of the technology, and the context will involve studies based on the older care setting. A broad scope of evidence, including quantitative, qualitative, text and opinion studies, will be considered. A total of 2 independent reviewers will screen the titles and s and then review the full text. Data will be extracted from the included studies using a data extraction tool developed for this study.
The results will be presented in a PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis extension for Scoping Reviews) flow diagram. A draft charting table will be developed as a data extraction tool. The results will be presented as a "map" of the data in a logical, diagrammatic, or tabular form in a descriptive format.
The evidence synthesis is expected to uncover the shreds of evidence required to address the ethical and care quality-related challenges associated with applying DHTs. A synthesis of various strategies used to overcome identified challenges will provide more prospects for adopting them elsewhere and create a resource allocation model for older individuals.

Kommun och landsting - Vem har mest makt? : en kvalitativ studie om den samverkan som sker mellan dessa organisationer vid vårdplaneringar kring äldre personer i SverigeHagenvall, Mina, Kanias, Vikki January 2006 (has links)
<p>This essay’s focus lies on the collaboration that takes place in hospitals and called a care-plan (vårdplanering) between the two organisations: Health-care (landsting) and social-care (kommun). According to the Swedish-law are these organizations responsible for the care of elderly individuals in Sweden. The aim of this essay has been to study closely this collaboration in order to see which partner has the most influencing power.</p><p>This essay is of a qualitative character, which means that the results that are presented are based on six individual interviews with employees from the two organizations. The employees chosen for this essay all have job experiences from the collaboration that takes place during care-plans in hospitals.</p><p>One of the main results of this essay has been that the two organizations are not equal collaboration-partners. All the interviewed individuals talked highly about the importance of collaboration while in reality they end up in an subliminal battle against each other. The main conclusion of this essay is that the focus of a care-plan meeting appears to be on gaining the most power, in order to influence the outcome of a care-plan, rather than giving priority to the elderly individual’s needs and concerns.</p>

Samlokalisering - underlätta eller belasta? : En kvalitativ studie av hur samverkan fungerar och upplevs av olika yrkesgrupper som arbetar utifrån SödertäljemodellenKhabout, Kristina, Malkey, Izla January 2016 (has links)
Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur samverkan fungerar och upplevs av olika yrkesgrupper från landsting och kommun som arbetar utifrån den så kallade Södertäljemodellen. Vi har genomfört kvalitativa intervjuer med åtta yrkesverksamma på en rehabiliteringsenhet för individer med psykossjukdomar. Studiens empiri analyseras med hjälp av samverkan som ett teoretiskt begrepp samt organisationsteori. Resultatet visar att samverkan fungerar genom formella och informella möten samt när de professionella behöver beakta andra yrkesgruppers bedömningar i det egna beslutsfattandet. Vidare visar resultatet att informanterna upplever att Södertäljemodellen leder till att yrkesgrupperna får en bättre förståelse för varandras arbetssätt, ett bättre samarbete och att insatser snabbare når patienterna/klienterna. Dock visar resultatet att de problem som informanterna upplever med denna typ av modell för samverkan är att den exempelvis leder till en otydlig arbetsfördelning samt svårigheter i att strukturera arbetsdagen. / The aim of this study is to examine how collaboration works and is experienced by health and social care workers in a psychiatric care unit. We have conducted qualitative interviews with eight professionals at a psychiatric care unit for individuals with mental illness, that work on the basis of Södertäljemodellen. The empirical data is analyzed using collaboration as a theoretical concept along with organization theory. The results show that collaboration works through formal and informal meetings and also when the professionals need to consider assessements made by other professionals in their decision making. Furthermore, the results show that the professionals experience that they have gained a better understanding of each other’s work, better cooperation and that assistance faster reaches the patients/clients. However, the study also sheds light on some of the problems experienced by the professionals, for example, that co-location can contribute to an indistinct division of labor and difficulties with the structure of the workday.
