Abstract:

China is currently facing what I expect to be its most significant challenge to date - a crisis in the care of its rapidly ageing population. The causes of this crisis are complex and multi-faceted and its implications far-reaching from the social, economic and political perspectives. This thesis examines the causes and consequences of the impending aged care crisis in China, with a particular focus on the urban elderly. In addition to extensive interviews with government officials, a sample of 2,000 retires and their children were surveyed in Shanghai as part of my research. My findings from

Abstract:

Aged care residents are at increased risk of infections due to their frailty and comorbidities. This study aimed to identify and reduce the risk of antibiotic-related misadventure in this population. Particular medicines were associated with use of antibiotics, suggesting compromised immunity via numerous mechanisms. Potential interactions between antibiotics and residents’ other medicines were also identified, and may increase morbidity in this vulnerable group. Expanded scope of antimicrobial stewardship in aged care facilities is recommended.

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:

Diabetes care of the elderly in residential aged care facilities has often been unstructured and non-standardised, with disparities in both the practice and knowledge of health care workers caring for this vulnerable group. Poorly controlled diabetes can contribute to a range of adverse events, including impaired wound health and cardiovascular events. The purpose of this study was to establish if current Australian diabetes management guidelines for the elderly are being met in residential aged care facilities in Queensland and identify areas for clinical practice improvement.A cross-sectiona

This study reports the positive and negative aspects identified by registered nurses (RNs) working with older people in public hospital aged care units and was conducted in 4 public hospitals in Sydney, Australia. Qualitative data using questionnaires and telephone interviews was collected from 26 female and 4 male RNs of which 46% (n 14) had worked in an aged care unit for 10 years or more. The participants identified positive perceptions within three major themes: a genuine liking of older people; the stories older people tell and the complexity of the older patient’s illnesses.

Abstract:

The purpose of this phenomenological study was to describe and interpret the common, shared meanings of the experience of aged care nursing from the perspective of the registered nurse working in a nursing home. There are insufficient registered nurses being attracted into aged care, with resulting difficulties in maintaining regular staffing levels in nursing homes. Previous studies conducted in Australia have predominantly used quantitative research methods to investigate various influences QD the recruitment and retention of aged care nurses.

Abstract:

This project drew on the experiences of residents and staff in two different residential aged care facilities in South East Queensland, in order to better understand the factors that affect residents' ability to feel 'at home'. The resulting theoretical model reveals how the factors interconnect over time to contribute in a unique way to the meaning of home for individual residents. Ultimately, the model invites, and supports, a more sensitised and integrated approach to the design and management of Residential Aged Care Facilities.

A trend toward non-institutionalization of the elderly, in conjunction with the increasing size of the elderly population has resulted in the development of a variety of community programs and services to help meet their complex and diverse health care needs in the community setting.

Set within the context that the world’s population is ageing at an unprecedented rate, it is argued that care of the elderly, and their everyday lived experiences are poised to become prominent concerns. In the shadow of this, the ageing population poses a myriad of challenges not only for the elderly but also for policy makers who put in place systems for the provision of services within residential care homes. By virtue, given that communities of elderly consumers voices are often muted within many academic analyses of social policy and service provision this study illuminates and distils co

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.

Abstract:

This thesis investigates aged care nurses‟ information systems user needs in their delivery of care to patients within five Tasmanian aged care facilities. The thesis generates insights aimed at improving the design, adoption and use of human-centred information systems in residential aged care. The ageing demographic of the Australian population is changing the nature of demand for health care services. This has led to a situation in many health service areas of demand outstripping supply at a time when the workforce is also shrinking in relative size (Hogan, P, Moxham & Dwyer 2007). In aged

Abstract:

China is currently facing what I expect to be its most significant challenge to date - a crisis in the care of its rapidly ageing population. The causes of this crisis are complex and multi-faceted and its implications far-reaching from the social, economic and political perspectives. This thesis examines the causes and consequences of the impending aged care crisis in China, with a particular focus on the urban elderly. In addition to extensive interviews with government officials, a sample of 2,000 retires and their children were surveyed in Shanghai as part of my research. My findings from
