Abstract:

Little is known about the relationship between registered nurses’ (RNs’) knowledge of nursing documentation, their attitudes towards this documentation, and how they perceive the importance of the forms used in the documentation process within residential aged care. The current study has several aims. This investigation sought to gain a measure of RNs’ knowledge of, and attitudes towards documentation, and assess their perception of the importance of forms used to document care. There were two phases of study. Study 1 utilised a cross-sectional, retrospective design with a large sample of RNs

Abstract:

There still appears to be much to do to make the National Health Service in England a safer place for patients. Hospitals, in particular, are complex organisations in which staff and processes are under the twin simultaneous demands of an increasingly aged society and severe financial constraints. While much health care is well delivered, there remains a need to predict, and to explore, where and why problems occur. This thesis presents work which has refined methods and tools that can be used at health system and organisation levels to explore some key safety and quality issues in health care

Abstract:

<p> The current environment of healthcare requires organizations to look at each department and each employee from an economic vantage and to consider at all viable options for cost containment. An organization’s Medical Staff Office has traditionally taken responsibility for providing the credentials and privileging function for organizations. The amount of work and time as well as seasonal fluctuations in the number of applicants proves difficult for an organization from a staffing and budgetary standpoint. For many organizations, the ability to outsource its credentialing functions

Abstract:

Healthcare managers have a responsibility for the standard of their services and patient care delivered. Their work is thought to be essential in achieving and improving high quality care and patient safety. However, little is empirically known about their role in this. This thesis investigates acute care managerial work and impact in the context of quality of care and patient safety. It draws upon power and work-activity group theories and literature from other industries to guide investigation and elucidate findings.

This thesis explored the relationship between the discourses of nursing care, the nursing care provision, and the perceived nursing care needs of three highly dependent residents in a residential aged care facility in Australia. Residential aged care in this country has undergone major reforms since 1987 and the nursing profession has struggled with these changes because of the documentation, validation, and accreditation requirements; the inadequate determination of dependency on nursing care for funding; the Registered Nurse (RN) being removed from the bedside to a role of scribe and delegat

Abstract:

The current literature suggests one of the challenges of nursing today is to meet the health care needs of the growing older population, people over the age of 65. Quality of nursing is important for acutely ill older people who are the largest group of patients in terms of hospital admissions. The ageing population is a major focus for social and economic planners and policy makers. There is an increasing need for health systems to change their focus to more closely assess strategies used to manage the acutely ill older hospital population.

A significant number of healthcare providers still keep patient information on paper. With the recent trends of reimbursement reduction and rapid technological advances, therefore, it would be critical to understand differences in structural characteristics and

Many of the factors commonly associated with burnout, also causes unsafe patient care, and poor quality of care.

This thesis provides the first inquiry into the use of creative activities in dementia care in residential aged care facilities in Australia. The study used descriptive method design, incorporating a mix of quantitative and qualitative approaches to explore the incidence and the characteristics of these activities from the carers' perspective.

Abstract:

A decade of heightened awareness concerning safety issues in healthcare since the Institute of Medicine’s awakening call has resulted in a string of counteroffensive measures. The pace of improvement has been slow and not altogether clear. Rates of patient harm are in general now measured by voluntary reporting and indicator measurements. The use of triggers or clues in random nurse-based reviews to enable identification of patient harm is a more effective method for measuring the overall rate of harm in a health care organisation. Measured actual overall rates of patient harm, their variation

Abstract:

Background: Several international studies have been published on the importance of exploring and describing the perceptions of professional nurses to improve patient safety and quality of care. There is also a growing body of literature that has established the associations of qualifications on patient safety and quality of care. However, no comparable research has been conducted in South Africa, and little is known about the influence of personal characteristics, such as qualifications of the professional nurse, on his/her perception of patient safety and quality of care. Objective: To invest

Abstract:

<p>The purpose of this study was to examine and describe how politicians and directors of care define and experience quality in aged care facilities. Further on we wanted to compare on which fundamental principles the participants base their opinion about quality and how they work with quality. To reach our aim we conducted five interviews with politicians and directors of care. The results show that it is hard to determine quality in an unambiguous and objective way. Quality in aged care appears to be about relations and encounters amongst people. The participants in our study agree that expe

Abstract:

Background: Australia’s growing ageing population presents several challenges for the government, economy and health and aged care sectors to cater to their increasing needs. Age-associated changes in mobility, which can lead to impaired nutrition status and lower quality of life (QoL) for older adults, also contributes to this burden. Physical activity is recommended to manage the age-associated changes in older adults. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the feasibility of conducting a pragmatic study to assess the effects of an established, structured activity program on QoL, mobil
