A Novel Collaborative Care Program to Augment Nursing Home Care During and After the COVID-19 Pandemic

The 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic created an immediate need to enhance current efforts to reduce transfers of nursing home (NH) residents to acute care. Long-Term Care Plus (LTC+), a collaborative care program developed and implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic, aimed to enhance care in the NH setting while also decreasing unnecessary acute care transfers. Using a hub-and-spoke model, LTC+ was implemented in 6 hospitals serving as central hubs to 54 geographically associated NHs with 9574 beds in Toronto, Canada. LTC+ provided NHs with the following: (1) virtual general internal medicine (GIM) consultations; (2) nursing navigator support; (3) rapid access to laboratory and diagnostic imaging services; and (4) educational resources. From April 2020 to June 2021, LTC+ provided 381 GIM consultations that addressed abnormal bloodwork (15%), cardiac problems (13%), and unexplained fever (11%) as the most common reasons for consultation. Sixty-five nurse navigator calls addressed requests for non-GIM specialist consultations (34%), wound care assessments (14%), and system navigation (12%). One hundred seventy-seven (46%, 95% CI 41%-52%) consults addressed care concerns sufficiently to avoid the need for acute care transfer. All 36 primary care physicians who consulted the LTC+ program reported strong satisfaction with the advice provided. Early results demonstrate the feasibility and acceptability of an integrated care model that enhances care delivery for NH residents where they reside and has the potential to positively impact the long-term care sector by ensuring equitable and timely access to care for people living in NHs. It represents an important step toward health system integration that values the expertise within the long-term care sector.     

医疗机构护理人员肌肉骨骼患病现况及影响因素研究

目的 调查医院护理人员肌肉骨骼患病情况并分析影响因素,指导制定有效的干预措施。方法 于2021年2—6月采用肌肉骨骼疾患调查表评估郑州市二级及以上医院护理人员肌肉骨骼患病情况,同时参照快速上肢评估方法评估人体工效学负荷等级,收集护理人员的人口学资料等,分析肌肉骨骼疾患发生的影响因素。结果 最终纳入1 031名护理人员,肌肉骨骼患病率为77.21%,以颈、肩、腰部患病更多见。多因素Logistic回归分析结果显示年龄（OR=1.520）、BMI≥24.0 kg/m²（OR=1.960）、有生育过（OR=1.114）、工龄（OR=2.208）、医院级别（OR=2.751）、科室（内科：OR=0.451、儿科：OR=0.671、妇产科：OR=0.184、急诊：OR=2.487、其他科室：OR=0.191）、人体工效学负荷等级（OR=2.560）是医院护理人员肌肉骨骼患病的影响因素。结论 医院护理人员肌肉骨骼患病率处于较高水平,受到多种因素影响,应当针对性采取干预措施帮助护理人员减少不良工作姿势、改善工作环境,降低肌肉骨骼患病率,提高医护人员身体健康水平。

The role of specialist nurses in delivering effective care in a tertiary sarcoma referral service

Musculoskeletal sarcomas are rare cancers with an incidence of less than 1% of all cancers. Management of these tumors requires multidisciplinary care comprising of numerous specialists. Critical decisions following collaborative discussion among treating specialists followed by timely communication and starting prompt treatment are vital in delivering care in such rare sarcomas. While musculoskeletal surgeons, radiologists, and clinical oncologists are well known, the role of specialist nurses has been less described. They form a vital pillar in any tertiary sarcoma service by assisting in collaborative care, having consultations in nurse-led clinics, offering psychological support, imparting details of treatment to patient and helping in palliative care. This narrative review focuses on the role of trained specialist nurses in a tertiary sarcoma service and gives insight into their vital role in delivering timely, coordinated, effective care.     

人文医疗在阴式全子宫切除术联合阴道后壁修补术治疗子宫脱垂合并肠疝患者中的应用

目的探究人文医疗在阴式全子宫切除术联合阴道后壁修补术治疗老年子宫脱垂合并肠疝(阴道后壁膨出)患者中的应用效果。方法选择2018年1月至2019年12月期间天长市中医院收治子宫脱垂合并肠疝患者120例作为研究对象。全部入选病例均行阴式全子宫切除术联合阴道后壁修补术治疗,采用随机数字表法将病例分为对照组和观察组,各60例。对照组给予常规护理,观察组给予人文医疗护理。对比2组患者中文版知觉压力量表(CPSS)评分、抑郁自评量表(SDS)、焦虑自评量表(SAS)评分、心理弹性量表-简表(RS-14)、护理服务满意度、皮质醇(Cor)、心率及平均动脉压。结果护理前,2组CPSS、SDS、SAS及RS-14评分组间比较的差异无统计学意义(P>0.05);护理7 d后,2组CPSS、SDS、SAS及RS-14评分均较护理前降低,且观察组均低于对照组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。观察组患者的满意度(96.67%)较对照组高(80.00%),差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。观察组手术结束时2组患者的Cor、心率及平均动脉压较对照组低,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论人文医疗应用于子宫脱垂合并肠疝患者护理中,能够改善其不良情绪,缓解心理压力,减少手术的应激反应,提高患者对护理满意度。     

The relationship between rates of hospitalization for ambulatory care sensitive conditions and local access to primary healthcare in Manitoba First Nations communities: Results from the Innovation in Community-based Primary Healthcare Supporting Transformation in the Health of First Nations in Manitoba (iPHIT) study

ObjectivesThe objective of this study was to assess the performance of models of primary healthcare (PHC) delivered in First Nation and adjacent communities in Manitoba, using hospitalization rates for ambulatory care sensitive conditions (ACSC) as the primary outcome.MethodsWe used generalized estimating equation logistic regression on administrative claims data for 63 First Nations communities from Manitoba (1986–2016) comprising 140,111 people, housed at the Manitoba Centre for Health Policy. We controlled for age, sex, and socio-economic status to describe the relationship between hospitalization rates for ACSC and models of PHC in First Nation communities.ResultsHospitalization rates for acute, chronic, vaccine-preventable, and mental health-related ACSCs have decreased over time in First Nation communities, yet remain significantly higher in First Nations and remote non-First Nations communities as compared with other Manitobans. When comparing different models of care, hospitalization rates were historically higher in communities served by health centres/offices, whether or not supplemented by itinerant medical services. These rates have significantly declined over the past two decades.ConclusionLocal access to a broader complement of PHC services is associated with lower rates of avoidable hospitalization in First Nation communities. The lack of these services in many First Nation communities demonstrates the failure of the current Canadian healthcare system to meet the need of First Nation peoples. Improving access to PHC in all 63 First Nation communities can be expected to result in a reduction in ACSC hospitalization rates and reduce healthcare cost.     

Work factors facilitating working beyond state pension age: Prospective cohort study with register follow-up

Objectives:The demographic changes in Europe underline the need for an extension of working lives. This study investigates the importance of physical work demands and psychosocial work factors for working beyond the state pension age (65 years).Methods:We combined data from three cohorts of the general working population in Denmark (DWECS 2005 and 2010, and DANES 2008), where actively employed workers aged 55–59 years replied to questionnaires about work environment and were followed until the age of 66 years in the Danish AMRun register of paid employment. Using logistic regression analyses, we calculated prevalence ratios (PR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for the association between physical and psychosocial work factors and working beyond state pension age, adjusted for age, sex, cohort, cohabiting, sector, income, vocational education, working hours, lifestyle, and previous sickness absence.Results:Of the 2884 workers aged 55–59 years, 1023 (35.5%) worked beyond the state pension age. Higher physical work demands was associated with a lower likelihood (PR 0.69, 95% CI 0.58–0.82) and a good psychosocial work environment was associated with higher likelihood (average of 7 items: PR 1.81, 95% CI 1.49–2.20) of working beyond state pension age. Stratified analyses did not change the overall pattern, ie, a good overall psychosocial work environment – as well as several specific psychosocial factors – increased the likelihood of working beyond state pension age, both for those with physically active and seated work.Conclusion:While high physical work demands was a barrier, a good psychosocial work environment seems to facilitate working beyond state pension age, also for those with physically active work.
