Objective

To determine the effect of the programme Hospitalisation discharge plan for patients with chronic diseases and family caregivers to strengthen their home care competence –CUIDAR– and reduce the caregiver burden.

Method

Quasi-experimental study approach with intervention group. Participants were 62 patients and their caregivers who consulted with a health care institution in the city of Girardot (Colombia). The intervention was carried out for one month, during which, measurements were performed before and after the programme.

Results

Most patients were elderly, diagnosed with diabetes, hypertension or COPD, 35% of them with some degree of dependency. The caregivers were mostly women, between the ages of 35 and 59 years old, domestic caregivers, and responsible for caring for their patients for between 13-24 hours a day. At the start of the programme the competency for care was low in both patients and caregivers, after the intervention there was a general increase in care and a statistically significant change. Also, at the beginning, 48% of caregivers had some level of burden, and after the study only 27% reported burden with care.

Conclusions

The Hospitalisation discharge plan is a strategy that increases the home care competency of the patient and the caregiver, and decreases the caregiver burden.  相似文献

Objective

To explore families’ experiences who use an authoritarian parenting style in caring for school-age children.

Method

This was a qualitative study employing a phenomenological approach. The sampling method was to interview parents of school-age children living in the Central Maluku district in Indonesia.

Results

The findings of this study generated the following themes: (1) parents strictly controlled their children to achieve the parental values and expectations, (2) children failed to meet the parental values and expectations, and (3) problems experienced by the children were the results of the parenting style.

Conclusions

This study suggested nursing professionals provide adequate information for parents with respect to parenting styles that may facilitate the optimal growth and development of the children. Future studies pertinent to cultural factors associated with authoritarian parenting were also suggested to better understand the cultural context of this parenting style.  相似文献

Background

The number of people presenting to hospital with dementia is escalating worldwide. Hospitals are inadequately prepared leading to a poor patient experience.

Aim

To explore the perspectives of nurses caring for people with dementia to critically evaluate the reasons behind the widely reported poor care received by such patients. The study examined what was privileged in the care of patients with dementia in geriatric rehabilitation facilities.

Method

The study used critical ethnography. Data were obtained from interviews with 29 nurses working with patients with dementia in geriatric rehabilitation hospitals. The interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim.

Findings

The theme of the ‘unworthy’ patient was supported by sub-themes of people with dementia and hospital performance targets, risk, nurse workload and acute care issues.

Discussion

Hospitals have increasing pressure to conform to tight budgets and must justify all expenditure, increase patient throughput and minimise risk. Patients with dementia can have a longer hospital stay complicated by frailty, complications and social problems. The focus on rapid discharge influences the mind-set of nurses and nurse habitus. Patients with multiple chronic co-morbidities are unpopular and considered low priority and less worthy of resources. Privileging care for certain patients and tasks is supported by organisational cultural beliefs. Nurses require support to maintain empathetic caring practices in the face of managerial priorities.

Conclusion

The research found that patients with dementia were considered unworthy in the geriatric rehabilitation hospital setting. The difficulties caring for patients with dementia are considerable. Nurses need education and support to improve practice.  相似文献

Background

Worldwide research confirms that older people value autonomy, want to remain independent and want control over their lives for as long as possible. Accordingly, the aged care system in Australia is undergoing major government-initiated reforms and is moving towards consumer directed care.

Aim

To explore the views of residents and care staff of resident decision-making, choice and control in the residential aged care context.

Methods

Residents from across four residential aged care facilities in Adelaide were interviewed and staff focus groups were held. A thematic analysis of the data was conducted.

Findings

Residents valued opportunities for privacy, communal engagement, productivity, negotiation with staff, and for opportunities to engage with systems of governance. How staff prioritise resident decision-making is influenced by the carer’s judgement of the resident’s characteristics and of the organisation’s rules and polices.

Discussion

Older people living in residential care are no longer living in their own home but instead are dealing with organisational rules and routines framed by others upon whom they are dependent.

Conclusion

The day-to-day decision-making process for residents is likely to remain complex due to residents having to take into account rules, regulations and policies operationalized through organisational channels.  相似文献

Background

There is increasing concern regarding autonomy and quality of life for older people living in residential aged care. Failure to provide food choices and suitable dining environments has been reported to negatively impact their nutritional status, undermining their sense of autonomy and quality of life.

Aim

This paper presents an integrative review of studies on food choices in residential aged care and explores the relationships between food choices, autonomy and quality of life.

Methods

Search of nine databases CINAHL, PubMed, Scopus, PsycINFO, ProQuest, Cochrane, Embase, AMED, and Social Science Citation Index, identified nine primary articles. The Critical Appraisal Skill Program tool was used to examine the quality of these articles.

Findings

Three key themes were identified: (1) Prevalence of food choices and catering for residents’ preference; (2) Importance of food choices to nutritional status; (3) Impact of food choices on autonomy and quality of life. The importance of increasing staff awareness and a need to develop aged care regulation to ensure adequate food choices provided.

Discussion

The importance of increasing staff awareness regarding the interrelatedness of respecting older people’s food choices, autonomy and quality of life is identified. The needs of determining aged care regulation and accreditation standards were also highlighted.

Conclusion

Failure to provide satisfying food choices impacts older people’s quality of life. However, the strength of the relationships between food choices, autonomy and quality of life requires further study.  相似文献

Background

The Berg Balance Scale (BBS) is often used in clinical practice to predict falls in the older adults. However, there is no consensus in research regarding its ability to predict falls.

Objective

To verify whether the BBS can predict falls risk in older adults.

Data source

Manual and electronic searches (Medline, EMBASE, CINAHL, Ageline, Lilacs, Web of Science, Cochrane Library and PEDro) were conducted using blocks of words (older adults, falls, BBS, study design) and their synonyms, with no language restrictions and published since 1989.

Study selection criteria

Prognostic studies or clinical trials were used to assess the BBS and falls history.

Data extraction and data synthesis

In this narrative synthesis, two independent assessors extracted data from articles and a third reviewer provided consensus, in case of disagreement. The methodological quality was assessed using the Quality In Prognosis Studies tool.

Results

1047 studies were found and 8 studies were included in this review. The mean BBS score was high, regardless of the history of falls. Three studies presented cut-off scores for BBS, ranging from 45 to 51 points. Two studies reported a difference in the BBS score between fallers and non-fallers. Studies presented low to moderate risk of bias.

Limitations

Unfeasible to conduct a meta-analysis due the heterogeneity of included studies.

Conclusion

The evidence to support the use of BBS to predict falls is insufficient, and should not be used alone to determine the risk of falling in older adults.

Objective

To determine the feasibility and acceptability of a training programme for peer volunteers to support older adults with chronic low back pain (CLBP) following discharge from physiotherapy.

Design

Feasibility study.

Setting

Community-based.

Participants

17 adults (4 male, 13 female) with CLBP or experience of supporting someone with CLBP enrolled and 12 (2 male, 10 female) completed the volunteer training.

Intervention

Volunteers took part in a face-to-face or blended delivery peer support training programme based on the Mental Health Foundation’s “Principles into Practice” and adapted for CLBP by the study team.

Main outcome measures

Recruitment/retention rates; demographics; time & resources used to deliver training; training evaluation (questionnaire); knowledge questionnaire, and self-efficacy questionnaire.

Results

17 participants enrolled on the training programme (11 face-to-face, 6 blended delivery). 12 (71%) completed the training (73% face-to-face, 67% blended delivery). The training was positively evaluated. All but two participants passed the knowledge quiz at the end of the training, and the majority of self-efficacy scores (90%) were high.

Conclusions

It is feasible to develop, implement and evaluate a peer support training programme for the facilitation of CLBP self-management in older adults following discharge from physiotherapy. Blended delivery of training may facilitate the recruitment of greater numbers of peer support volunteers in future studies. Supported self-management of CLBP pain is widely recommended but can be difficult to achieve. Peer support might be a promising method of facilitating CLBP self-management without additional burden to health services, and should be further evaluated in a larger study.  相似文献

Background

Self-efficacy in nursing is the nurses’ perception of their abilities to show caring orientations, attitudes, and behaviours and to develop caring relationships with patients. Self-efficacy is associated with years of experience, higher levels of job satisfaction and changes to nursing practices that conform with best practice. There is currently a paucity of evidence and no Australian studies were found examining the relationships between socio-demographic variables and self-efficacy in Australian nurses.

Aim

The aim of this study was to examine if relationships existed between the socio-demographic variables, years of experience, age, gender, marital status, level of education, years employed in the same workplace, employment status, geographical location, specialty area, health sector and Australian state and the perceived self-efficacy of Australian registered nurses.

Research

Design Cross-sectional survey of Australian registered nurses.

Methods

A stratified random sample of registered nurses was drawn from the database of a national industrial and professional organisation. The Caring Efficacy Scale (CES) was categorised into quartiles, and bivariate and multivariable relationships were examined using ordinal logistic regression.

Results

The proportion of nurses reporting low caring efficacy scores tended to decrease with years of experience and was lower in nurses who have been married. After adjustment in the final multivariable model, marital status and years of experience remained significantly related to caring efficacy (p < 0.05).

Conclusion

A relationship exists between years of nursing experience, marital status and perceived self-efficacy among Australian registered nurses who belonged to an industrial and professional organisation. Targeted professional development programmes that support the improvement of perceived self-efficacy of all levels of nurses, might improve nurses’ confidences and abilities to develop caring relationships with patients.  相似文献

Objective

To identify and explore the feelings and experiences of people living with knee pain as a precursor to exploring how this might contribute to improved care in the future.

Design

The qualitative meta-synthesis was undertaken in three parts (1) a systematic search of the literature, (2) a critical appraisal of the relevant studies and (3) meta-aggregation of the findings from the selected studies. A qualitative meta-synthesis is a process that enables researchers to answer a specific research question by combining and summarising a variety of qualitative sources. This was undertaken using a contextualist approach which acknowledges different realities exist but tries to determine an underlying ‘truth’.

Setting

The participants from the selected studies were from a range of settings and ethnic groups, and cultural backgrounds.

Participants

There were nine articles included in the meta-synthesis. Articles focused on the experiences of surgery, return to sport, or other aspects of care were excluded.

Results

No articles were excluded following critical appraisal. Eleven categories were identified from 55 findings which resulted in two synthesised findings being identified: knee pain affects every aspect of life and Searching for the best way forward.

Limitations

Articles were largely limited to older adults living with osteoarthritis. Many of the findings did not report demographic data. Only English language studies were included.

Conclusion

Many people living with knee pain struggle to adapt to living with knee pain and this is often exacerbated by a lack of knowledge and available information to help them plan for the future.

Objective

To identify a correlation between family support and maternal self-efficacy of adolescent mothers.

Method

This cross-sectional study applied a consecutive sampling technique. The sample was 100 primiparous adolescent mothers. Instruments utilized were structured questionnaires, including a demographic questionnaire, Maternal Efficacy Questionnaire (MEQ), Postpartum Support System, Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), and Infant Characteristics Questionnaire (ICQ). The correlation of family support and maternal self-efficacy was analyzed using chi-square and logistic regression.

Results

The results showed a significant correlation between family support and maternal self-efficacy of adolescent mothers. The family support that most influenced maternal self-efficacy of adolescent mothers was family instrument support, with Wald value of 34.720.

Conclusions

Instrument support most affects maternal self-efficacy of adolescent mothers and encourages adolescents performing nurturing and mothering roles.  相似文献

Background

The incidence of chronic illness is growing globally and nurses within the family circle often fulfil a caring role for relatives who are chronically ill. Registered nurses who are also carers have a unique vantage point to evaluate healthcare provision.

Aim

This study aimed to develop insights into healthcare provision from understanding the lived experience of participants who were family carer and professional nurse.

Methods

This paper is drawn from a larger phenomenological study that explored the lived experience of fifteen registered nurses who cared for family who had a chronic illness. Unstructured interviews of one hour duration were used as the method of data collection to enable thematic analysis of the findings within the context of Heideggerian philosophy.

Findings

The research identified that participants held three distinctive ways of being a nurse and family carer while at the bedside of their chronically ill family member. During the critical times of exacerbation and hospitalisation, the carer who is also a nurse, has professional and personal insights which enable them to; navigate healthcare systems to access care, progress through hospital safely and build pathways towards discharge.

Discussion and conclusion

In contrast to much of the previous literature, which has focused upon the needs of nurses who are family carers, this paper focuses upon the contributions that participants can make to the nursing profession and the wider health industry. Understanding the contribution that carers can make to patient safety and improved health outcomes may bring focus and purpose to the implementation of care for the chronically ill. Participants developed insights into healthcare provision from repeated exposure through multiple admissions and this repository of knowledge may have previously been overlooked.  相似文献

Objective

Self-stigma in people living with HIV/AIDS is a survival mechanism to protect themselves from external stigma. Stigma and discrimination in people living with HIV/AIDS can lead to inequality in social life. This inequality can cause inferiority complex, preoccupation, and denial of diagnosis, which correlates with the onset of depression. This study aims to determine the effect of logotherapy, commitment acceptance therapy, and family psychoeducation on self-stigma and depression on housewives living with HIV/AIDS.

Method

This study used the quasi-experiment pretest–posttest design. The respondents were selected using the purposive sampling technique. The subjects were 60 housewives living with HIV/AIDS. Data were collected using Internalizes Stigma of AIDS Tools and analyzed using univariate and bivariate analyses. Equality analysis was conducted using the chi-square test and independent t test, and the effects were analyzed using paired t test.

Results

The result showed a significant decrease in self-stigma and depression (p value < 0.05) in patients receiving logotherapy, commitment acceptance therapy, and family psychoeducation.

Conclusions

A combination of logotherapy, commitment acceptance therapy, and family psychoeducation is recommended as a therapy package to overcome self-stigma and depression for people living with HIV/AIDS.  相似文献

Objective

The purpose of the study was to identify the impact of family empowerment model intervention on family satisfaction and children’s length of stay in the hospital due to pneumonia.

Method

The design of the study was that of a quasi-experiment. About 83 family-child groups were divided into 42 pair in the intervention group and 41 pair in the control group; which were recruited using consecutive sampling using certain inclusion criteria. Three district hospitals in Jakarta were used in this study. A questionnaire and family empowerment instrument were developed and used to collect the data. An analysis of the data used independent and paired t-test.

Results

The results of the study showed a significant difference between the intervention and control groups in empowerment and satisfaction aspects after the intervention (p= 0.000; p= 0.000). An analysis of length of stay using the t-test indicates a significant difference between the intervention and control groups (p= 0.000).

Conclusions

The family empowerment model (FEM) intervention has a positive impact on families, as it can increase both the satisfaction and the empowerment of the family. Another important indicator of the FEM’s success is its ability to decrease the length of stay of patients.  相似文献

Objective

The most prominent problem resulting from decreased body function in older adults is declining quality of life. Walking and talking among older adults in peer group may become a nursing therapy to improve their quality of life. The objective of this study was to identify the impact of walking and talking intervention of quality of life among community dwelling older adults in Depok, Indonesia.

Method

This study applied quasi-experimental design with 43 and 40 older adults in the intervention and control group, respectively. The participants were selected using multistage random sampling method.

Results

Based on t test, the average quality of life score of older adults improved more significantly in the intervention group than that in the control group, with p value of 0.003, its mean p value < α, respectively. An ANCOVA analysis was used to detect confounding factors. The result showed that all characteristics have a p value of > 0.05, which means there were no confounding factors warranting further investigation.

Conclusions

It was concluded that walking and talking therapy in peer group significantly increase the quality of life of older adults.  相似文献

Background

Critically ill morbidly obese patients pose considerable healthcare delivery and resource utilisation challenges. However little is known about the care of these patients in intensive care.

Objective

To explore medical and nursing practices and attitudes in intensive care when caring for critically ill morbidly obese patients.

Methods

A focused ethnographic approach was adopted. Participant observation of care practices and interviews with intensive care doctors and nurses were undertaken over a four month period. Qualitative analysis was conducted using constant comparison.

Setting

An 18 bedded tertiary intensive care unit in New Zealand.

Participants

Sixty-seven intensive care nurses and 13 intensive care doctors involved with the care and management of seven critically ill patients with a body mass index ≥40 kg/m2.

Findings

Morbidly obese patients present significant physical and language challenges for intensive care practice. The physical shape of morbidly obese patients did not appropriately fit the different equipment used. Staff used specific knowledge of the patient’s body size and shape to adapt care practices and keep patients safe and comfortable. There were also specific language challenges where staff expressed concern about what words were most appropriate to use to describe body mass when in the presence of morbidly obese patients.

Conclusions

Bariatric care pathways need to be developed that use more suitable body measurements to inform the use of bariatric equipment. Intensive care staff need to engage in debate about what is acceptable, respectful, and appropriate language in the delivery of bariatric patient care.  相似文献
