Information and Communication Technology - mediated support for working carers of older people

Andersson, Stefan January 2017 (has links)
Despite a growing awareness of the importance of support for carers who combine paid work with care of an older relative, so called ‘working carers’, there remains a lack of empirical knowledge about more innovative ways to support this largest group of carers of older people. Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) are becoming more readily available. As a result, ICTs have made it feasible to offer working carers more targeted forms of support. This thesis aimed to gain an understanding about support for working carers of older people via the use of ICT. An integrative literature review was conducted to explore and evaluate the current evidence base concerning the use of ICT-mediated support for working carers (I). Content analysis of qualitative data was used to describe nursing and support staff’s experiences of using web-based ICTs for information, e-learning and support of working carers (II). Content analysis was also used to describe working carers’ experiences of having access to a web-based family care support network provided by the municipality (III). Descriptive statistical methods were used to analyse survey data which focused on the types of support received and how they were valued by working carers, with a focus on ICT support (IV). Findings highlighted that ICT mediated support provided working carers with the means to manage their caring situation, via the provision of information, e-learning and education, in addition to practical assistance and emotional and/or physical respite from caregiving. In this way, working carers felt empowered in their caring situation by feeling more competent and prepared in their caring role and by strengthening their self-efficacy and positive self-appraisal of their situation. Carers were provided channels to share their frustrations and burdens via forums for emotional and social support between working carers, caring professionals, and other peer carers. This led to working carers feeling less burdened by their caregiving role and it helped promote their wellbeing. Further, carers were helped in some instances to balance work and care. As a result caregiving activities conflicting with work obligations were then lessened. In contrast, when ICT mediated support was neither provided in a timely fashion or in accordance with individual carers’ needs and preferences, then it was perceived by them to be unimportant. Cross-sectional data revealed that take-up of support services was low suggesting that unmet support needs may be inflated by work-care conflicts. For carers with lower digital skills, the additional time needed to learn to use ICTs was a further barrier. Overall, ICT mediated support acted as a complementary form of support for working carers. Measures to overcome dis-empowering aspects of this innovative from of support are needed to avoid working carers’ deprioritizing their own support needs and also to avoid possible digital exclusion from the current information society.

Veselá, Lucie January 2013 (has links)
The goal of the diploma thesis Policies supporting harmonization of family and work roles in the Czech and Slovak Republic is the comparison and analysis of the various areas relating to the issue. The thesis is processed in the context of building the Welfare State, Tomasz Inglot's historical approach and on the process of Europeanization. The thesis deals with the politics of harmonization of family and work roles in both countries. The first part focuses on defining the research problem itself, namely on the harmonization of family and work roles, recent changes in family status and identifying factors possibly influencing politics of harmonization. The second part presents the theoretical background of the thesis, the concept of the Welfare State, its criticism, the concept of the Welfare State in the former Czechoslovakia, in the individual countries - the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic and Europeanization. The third part deals first with demographic trends, and then with a comparative analysis of selected areas - family concepts, financial assistance for families, state social support system, employment arrangements and the services providing children care in the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic. The conclusion contains a summary and the assessment of the comparative analysis,...

Formação interprofissional para o trabalho em equipe: uma análise a partir dos Núcleos de Apoio à Saúde da Família / Training for interprofessional teamwork: an analysis from the Family Health Support Centers.

Freire Filho, José Rodrigues 22 August 2014 (has links)
A inserção de profissionais de diferentes áreas do conhecimento nas equipes de atenção primária no país é uma estratégia nova, cujo atual estágio de desenvolvimento viabiliza a implantação de grupos de diferentes formações profissionais. Nessa lógica, a estratégia de Educação Interprofissional (EIP) tem fomentado pesquisas, no sentido de discutir modos de viabilizar uma formação em saúde arraigada no compartilhamento de saberes e na prática da colaboração profissional. Nessa linha se insere esta pesquisa, cujo objetivo foi verificar princípios da EIP nas estratégias de formação para o trabalho em equipe no âmbito dos Núcleos de Apoio à Saúde da Família (NASF) de uma microrregião de saúde de Minas Gerais. Desenvolveu-se um estudo exploratório, qualitativo, com 21 profissionais componentes de equipes NASF da Microrregião de Saúde de Passos/Piumhi. A coleta de dados foi efetivada por meio de três grupos realizados em fevereiro de 2014, nos municípios de Alpinópolis, Passos e Piumhi. Os dados pertinentes à caracterização da amostra foram tratados por estatística descritiva e os depoimentos por análise de conteúdo temática. Dessa emergiu quatro categorias de análise: O trabalho em equipe: conceitos e significações; Interfaces do trabalho em equipe: forças propulsoras e limitantes; Processos acadêmicos de formação em saúde: preparação para o trabalho em equipe?; Processos de formação em serviço para o trabalho em equipe. Amostra majoritariamente feminina; com tempo de formação inferior a 10 anos; inseridos no Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) há no máximo cinco anos; e no NASF, há no máximo dois anos. Os sujeitos do estudo significam o trabalho em equipe como uma prática interdisciplinar, que transcorre do compartilhamento de conhecimentos e experiências e da conformação de uma rede dialógica entre os diferentes profissionais da Atenção Básica. Como forças limitantes para a atuação em equipe destacaram a resistência aos NASF por parte dos profissionais da ESF; a incipiência do médico como integrante da equipe; a demanda populacional e de atribuições excessivas e; a instabilidade da gestão pública. Como forças propulsoras: o processo de comunicação e perfil profissional que corresponda às necessidades da saúde pública. Evidenciou-se que os profissionais foram submetidos a um processo de formação alicerçado em modelos de ensino baseado na fragmentação do cuidado. No entanto, foi revelado que o estágio curricular é um recurso que oportuniza a formação para o trabalho em equipe. Verificou-se que inexistem processos formais de educação no âmbito do serviço, sobretudo com vistas à aquisição de habilidades para o trabalho em equipe. Nesse cenário, as reuniões de equipe foram apontadas como uma ferramenta profícua ao aprendizado interprofissional, viabilizadas a partir dos pressupostos da Educação Permanente em Saúde. Destarte, reflete-se que mesmo com a inclusão das mais diversas profissões da saúde no campo da Atenção Básica, ainda há grandes desafios para o desenvolvimento do trabalho em equipe na lógica da formação interprofissional. Imprime-se a necessidade de reorientação dos modelos pedagógicos de ensino-aprendizagem com ênfase na EIP e as propostas de ensino no serviço baseada na prática colaborativa e integrada. / The inclusion of professionals from different areas of knowledge in primary care teams in the country is a new strategy, whose current stage of development enables the deployment of groups from different professional backgrounds. In this logic, the strategy of interprofessional education (IPE) has encouraged research in order to discuss ways of facilitating health training based in the sharing of knowledge and the practice of professional collaboration. As part of this idea, this research aimed to verify the principles of IPE in the training strategies for teamwork within the Family Health Support Centers (NASF) of a Minas Gerais state region. An exploratory, qualitative study was developed, with 21 professionals of NASF teams from Passos/Piumhi health region. Data collection was done with three groups, and conducted in February 2014 in the cities of Alpinópolis, Passos and Piumhi. The data relevant to the characterization of the sample data were analyzed via descriptive statistics and testimonials by thematic content analysis. Four categories emerged from this analysis: Teamwork: concepts and meanings; Teamwork interfaces: driving and restraining forces; Health education academic processes: preparation for teamwork?; Service training procedures for teamwork. Mainly female sample, with no more than 10 years of training time, working into the public system for five years max, and in NASF for no more than two years. The study subjects see teamwork as an interdisciplinary practice, which comes from the sharing of knowledge and experience and from the conformation of a dialogical network between different primary care professionals. As limiting forces for teamwork they pointed the resistance to NASF by FHS professionals; the ignorance of the physician as a team member; the population demand and excessive duties and; the public management instability. As driving forces: the process of communication and professional profile that meets the needs of public health. It was evident that professionals have undergone a training process, built on models of teaching based on the fragmentation of care. However, it was revealed that the traineeship is a resource that provides opportunities for teamwork training. No formal in-service education processes was found, particularly if aiming to the acquisition of skills for teamwork. In this scenario, staff meetings have been identified as a useful tool to interprofessional learning, made possible from the assumptions of Continuing Education in Health. Thus, it is clear that even with the inclusion of several health professions in the field of primary care, there are still major challenges to the development of teamwork in the sense of interprofessional education. The need for reorientation of the pedagogical models of teaching and learning with an emphasis on IPE, and the proposals for in-service education based on collaborative and integrated practice are marked.

Vård- och omsorgspersonals erfarenheter av att använda COAT : Carers Outcome Agreement Tool

Rohdin, Jeanette, Nylander, Åsa January 2010 (has links)
Antalet anhörigvårdare i Sverige är många. För att de anhöriga ska orka vårda sina närstående 24 timmar om dygnet, sju dagar i veckan behöver det finnas ett stöd. De anhörigstöd som finns varierar från kommun till kommun. Ett anhörigstöd som har utarbetats för att underlätta insatsbehovet är COAT- Carers Outcome Agreement Tool som syftar till att kartlägga anhörigas behov, planera och följa upp anhörigstöd. COAT har en grund i partnerskapsmodellen och i modellen ses den anhörige som experten på situationen runt den närstående. De studier som är gjorda med anhöriga har mycket positiva resultat. Det är få studier gjorda utifrån personalperspektivet därför avsåg vi att undersöka deras individuella erfarenheter utav att använda COAT. Tio stycken kvalitativa intervjuer med personal är utförda i studien och analyserades med hjälp av en innehållsanalys. Fem kategorier trädde fram i analysen och presenteras i resultatet. I kategorierna beskriver vi det som personalen berättat i intervjuerna. Personalen är uteslutande positiva till instrumentet och de anser att det bör användas i större utsträckning. Diskussionen är formad utifrån våra forskningsfrågor och diskuteras med stöd av tidigare forskning. Vi diskuterar olika begrepp och relaterar dem ur personalens synvinkel gentemot den anhörige och dennes familj. / Program: Specialistsjuksköterskeutbildning med inriktning mot distriktssköterska
