Title : Changes of geriatric syndromes in older adults survived from Intensive Care Unit Material Type: printed text Authors: Tang, Wei Hsin, Author ; Hu, Fang-Wen, Author ; Chen, Ching-Min, Author Publication Date: 2017 Article on page: p.219-224 Languages : English (eng) Original Language : English (eng)
in Geriatric Nursing > Vol.38 No.3 (May-Jun) 2017 [07/31/2017] . - p.219-224Keywords: Older adults. Geriatric syndromes. Functional decline. Intensive care unit. Katz's functional index. Abstract: Nearly 90% of the older adult patients discharged from hospital with a cluster of geriatric syndromes. The patterns of geriatric syndromes in older adult ICU survivors are to be further explored. The aim of this study was to examine the risk factors and patterns of geriatric syndromes among older adult patients before admitting to ICU and throughout their hospitalization.
A total of 137 older adult patients (age 76.9 ± 6.6; 52.6% male) participated in the study. The results showed significant increase in the occurrence of geriatric syndromes from T0 (upon ICU admission) to T1 (transition to inpatient care unit), with improvement at T2 (hospital discharge), but did not return to the baseline. The three most prevalent geriatric syndromes were: functional decline, urination incontinence, and defecation incontinence. Polypharmacy was associated with functioning decline. Patients with delirium were six times more likely to be re-admitted to ICU.Link for e-copy: http://www.gnjournal.com/ Record link: http://libsearch.siu.ac.th/siu/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=27099 [article] Changes of geriatric syndromes in older adults survived from Intensive Care Unit [printed text] / Tang, Wei Hsin, Author ; Hu, Fang-Wen, Author ; Chen, Ching-Min, Author . - 2017 . - p.219-224.

Title : Long term care nursing competence and related factors among Taiwanese nurses : A national survey for those who completed the LTC training course Material Type: printed text Authors: Hsieh, Pei-Lun, Author ; Chen, Ching-Min, Author Publication Date: 2017 Article on page: p.192-198 Languages : English (eng) Original Language : English (eng)
in Geriatric Nursing > Vol.38 No.3 (May-Jun) 2017 [07/31/2017] . - p.192-198Keywords: Long term care. Nursing competence. Continuing education. Training. Care intention. Abstract: The aim of this study was to explore Taiwanese nurses' LTC competence and to examine its relationship with their LTC-related knowledge, care intention, and practical experience. The total sampling was selected from nurses who participated in a 2013 LTC course offered by the Ministry of Health and Welfare. Participants in this study (n = 122) voluntarily provided email addresses and responded to an online survey. A self-developed scale with acceptable reliability and validity was used for data collection. Findings from this study showed median high levels of LTC nursing competence, which was found to be positively correlated with LTC knowledge, care intention, practical experience, continuing education, and marital status. The study revealed that through on-the-job training, nurses' LTC knowledge, care intention, practical experience and nursing competence can be improved, which will benefit the quality of care for LTC clients.
