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.

Title : Preventing falls in assisted living : results of a quality improvement pilot study Material Type: printed text Authors: Zimmerman, Sheryl, Author ; Greene, Angela, Author ; Slonae, Philip D., Author Publication Date: 2017 Article on page: p.185-191 Languages : English (eng) Original Language : English (eng)
in Geriatric Nursing > Vol.38 No.3 (May-Jun) 2017 [07/31/2017] . - p.185-191Keywords: Assisted living. Quality improvement. Falls prevention. Risk factors. Intervention. Function Exercise. Medications. Screening. Outcomes. Abstract: Residents of assisted living (AL) communities are at high risk for falls, which result in negative outcomes and high health care costs. Adapting effective falls prevention programs for AL quality improvement (QI) has the potential to reduce falls, improve resident quality of life, and reduce costs. This project tested the feasibility and outcomes of an evidence-based multi-component QI program, the Assisted Living Falls Prevention and Monitoring Program (AL-FPMP). Resident posture and gait improved, likely due to exercise and/or physical therapy. Effective falls prevention QI programs can be implemented in AL, and are advised to (1) establish and maintain a falls team to create a culture focused on the reduction of falls risk; (2) teach staff to assess residents using the Morse Falls Scale to increase their awareness of residents' falls risk and improvement; and (3) modify existing exercise programs to address balance and lower body strength.

Title : A growing need – HIV education in long-term care Material Type: printed text Authors: Siou, Kaitlin, Author ; Mahan, Maureen, Author ; Cartagena, Rod, Author ; Carsone, Soo Chan, Author Publication Date: 2017 Languages : English (eng) Original Language : English (eng)
in Geriatric Nursing > Vol.38 No.3 (May-Jun) 2017 [07/31/2017]Keywords: HIV education.Long term care(LTC).Nursing home Abstract: As people living with HIV (PLHIV) age, knowledge of HIV and the associated care of those aging with HIV will become an increasingly important component of education for long-term care (LTC) providers. This descriptive study piloted two different approaches to distribute narrative-based HIV educational videos. Four LTC facilities were assigned to receive the videos to implement ‘as usual’ or to receive the videos in addition to blended learning sessions where the videos were shown with facilitated discussion with a nurse educator and a PLHIV. In LTC facilities where external educators were provided, a larger proportion of staff watched the videos. However, increases in staff comfort level providing care to PLHIV were comparable between both groups. Narratives of PLHIV, administrator engagement and coordination of online education were identified as facilitators to improving HIV knowledge and compassion in LTC, while fear of HIV transmission and limited time for education, especially when not mandated or identified as immediately applicable, were identified as barriers. From our findings, HIV-related stigma still exists in LTC and these videos may be a strategy for disseminating basic knowledge about HIV transmission and sensitizing staff to the experience of living with HIV.

Title : Psychometric testing of Korean versions of self-efficacy and outcome : expectations for restorative care activities scales Material Type: printed text Authors: Jung, Dukyoo, Author ; Byun, Jinyee, Author Publication Date: 2017 Article on page: p.207-212 Languages : English (eng) Original Language : English (eng)
in Geriatric Nursing > Vol.38 No.3 (May-Jun) 2017 [07/31/2017] . - p.207-212Keywords: Direct care worker. Self-efficacy. Outcome expectation. Abstract: This study aimed to examine the validity and reliability of Korean versions of the Nursing Assistant Self-Efficacy for Restorative Care Scale, and the Nursing Assistant Outcome Expectations for Restorative Care Scale. Psychometric testing was performed with 697 direct care workers in long-term care facilities in South Korea. Data were analyzed using SPSS/WIN 21.0, AMOS 22.0, and WINSTEPS 3.68.2. There was evidence for content validity. Factor loading in the Korean versions of the Nursing Assistant Self-Efficacy for Restorative Care Scale was 0.66–0.94, and Nursing Assistant Outcome Expectations for Restorative Care Scale was 0.43–0.77. Scores on the Korean versions of the Nursing Assistant Outcome Expectations for Restorative Care Scale correlated positively with scores on a scale of knowledge of restorative care. Additionally, Rasch model analysis of the K-NASERC and K-NAOERC indicates acceptable item data fit. These results indicated that the Korean versions of the Nursing Assistant Self-Efficacy, and Outcome Expectations for Restorative Care Scale are satisfactorily valid and reliable for the measurement.

Title : Characterizing the high-risk homebound patients in need of nurse practitioner co-management Material Type: printed text Authors: Jones, Masha G., Author ; Ornstein, Katherine A., Author ; Skovan, David M., Author Publication Date: 2017 Article on page: p.213-218 Languages : English (eng) Original Language : English (eng)
in Geriatric Nursing > Vol.38 No.3 (May-Jun) 2017 [07/31/2017] . - p.213-218Keywords: Home health. Homebound. Elderly. Advanced practice nursing. Primary care delivery. Abstract: By providing more frequent provider visits, prompt responses to acute issues, and care coordination, nurse practitioner (NP) co-management has been beneficial for the care of chronically ill older adults. This paper describes the homebound patients with high symptom burden and healthcare utilization who were referred to an NP co-management intervention and outlines key features of the intervention. We compared demographic, clinical, and healthcare utilization data of patients referred for NP co-management within a large home-based primary care (HBPC) program (n = 87) to patients in the HBPC program not referred for co-management (n = 1027). A physician survey found recurrent hospitalizations to be the top reason for co-management referral and a focus group with nurses and social workers noted that co-management patients are typically those with active medical issues more so than psychosocial needs. Co-management patients are younger than non-co-management patients (72.31 vs. 80.30 years old, P < 0.001), with a higher mean Charlson comorbidity score (3.53 vs. 2.47, P = 0.0001). They have higher baseline annual hospitalization rates (2.27 vs. 0.61, P = 0.0005) and total annual home visit rates (13.1 vs. 6.60, P = 0.0001). NP co-management can be utilized in HBPC to provide intensive medical management to high-risk homebound patients.

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.

Abstract: The aim of this cross-sectional study was to explore the role of nursing staff in residents' activities. Nursing home residents (n = 723) were observed in their wards, randomly five times for one minute between 7 a.m. and 11 p.m. Resident's (in)activity and the role of nursing staff or others in this activity were recorded. Roles were defined as ‘taking over the activity’, ‘giving support’, or ‘supervision’. Nurse observers were interviewed to obtain insight into their observation-experiences. Residents were observed in activities of daily living in 31% of all 3282 observations, and inactive in 57%. Nursing staff provided support in 51% of the observations and took over activities in 45%; supervision was rarely observed (4%). Nurse observers who knew the residents reported that a large part of activities were taken over unnecessarily. Based on these results, nursing staff are recommended to provide more supervision and support to optimize residents' activities and independence.

Abstract: We examined the effects of aromatherapy on agitation in patients with dementia and evaluated related caregiver burden. Patients and their caregivers from two hospitals in Turkey were selected and divided into an intervention group (n = 14) and a control group (n = 14). Patients were stratified according to their dementia phase and intake of antipsychotic medication. The intervention group received aromatherapy via massage and inhalation at home for 4 weeks. The control group received no intervention. Data were collected using the Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI), the Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory (CMAI) and the Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI). At 2 and 4 weeks, the NPI scores were significantly lower in the intervention group (p < 0.05). At 4 weeks, the CMAI and ZBI scores were significantly lower in the intervention group (p < 0.05). In conclusion, after aromatherapy, agitation, neuropsychiatric symptoms, and caregiver distress significantly reduced, and aromatherapy prevented caregiver burden increase.

Title : Why older adults may decline offers of post-acute care services : A qualitative descriptive study Material Type: printed text Authors: Sefcik, Justine S., Author ; Nock, Rebacca H., Author ; Chase, Jo-Ana D., Author Publication Date: 2017 Article on page: p.238-243 Languages : English (eng) Original Language : English (eng)
in Geriatric Nursing > Vol.38 No.3 (May-Jun) 2017 [07/31/2017] . - p.238-243Keywords: Post-acute care service.Older adults.Qualitative research. Abstract: The most common post-acute care (PAC) services available to patients after hospital discharge include home care, skilled nursing facilities, nursing homes, inpatient rehabilitation, and hospice. Patients who need PAC and receive services have better outcomes, however almost one-third of those offered services decline. Little research exists on PAC decision-making and why patients may decline services. This qualitative descriptive study explored the responses of thirty older adults to the question: “Can you, from the patient point of view, tell me why someone would not want post hospital care?” Three themes emerged. Participants may decline due to 1) previous negative experiences with PAC, or 2) a preference to be home. Some participants stated, “I'd be there” and would not decline services. Participants also discussed 3) why other patients might decline PAC which included patients' past experiences, lack of understanding/preconceived ideas, and preferences. Clinical implications include assessing patients' knowledge and experience before providing recommendations.
