Abstract:

Dementia, a clinical condition that affects the psychological ability of patients, is distinguished by a significant overall decline in cognitive function that results in distorted perception. Guiding nursing practice in the long-term care (LTC) setting to decrease the unnecessary use of psychotropics is critical because doing so relates to the patients' quality of life and safety. In the LTC facility that served as the practicum site for this study, there was an observed overuse of psychotropic medications in the care of patients with dementia. The practice-focused question guiding this proje

Abstract:

Ethical decision-making is an integral aspect of gerontic nurses' experiences of caring for nursing home residents and their families. This thesis examines the author's journey into the life-worlds of nine registered nurses working in an Australian nursing home to explore how they manage the ethical problems they encounter in their everyday experience of nursing home life. As a result of interviews, the study revealed that nurses utilized an approach to ethical decision-making not previously described.This approach was identified as being professional, familial, collegial and reciprocal in nat

Abstract:

The home health industry's introduction to managed care raises the prospect of reduced access to health care and poor outcomes for a vulnerable segment of our population—the rural elderly. Before effective intervention strategies can be accurately evaluated, a clearer picture of the sociodemographic features and home care service consumption is needed for this understudied group. The study was intended to provide a basis for future research into the evaluation of alternative methods of delivering effective care in terms of outcome and decreased cost for this population.

Abstract:

The role of group activity participation in depression among a group of residents (N=65), age 80 and older, in a nursing home was examined using the framework of Roy's Adaptation Theory and Nolen-Hoeksema's Response Style Theory of Depression. Roy views depression as a maladaptation. Nolen-Hoeksema views group activity participation as a therapeutic distraction to break depressed moods and thus allow for positive adaptation. This study utilized data from medical records, group activity attendance, and self-report questionnaires. Demographic distributions were computed and correlational statist

Abstract:

Access to healthcare is needed and wanted by people of all ages and especially by those of the older population. The number of people in the 65 years of age and older population is rapidly growing with their needs expected to have a significant impact on the existing healthcare system and healthcare providers. The impact will be critical given the severe shortage of healthcare providers, especially of nurses and the rate of services being more often provided in non-hospital settings.

Abstract:

The recommendation by Skinner (2017) that a standardized geriatric patient simulation should be integrated into community health courses was not fully supported by the data and findings. First, in addition to the lack of statistical significance noted by the authors, the effect size was calculated to determine the difference in aging knowledge test scores before and after the simulation and found it was only r = 9.1%, which is low according to Cohen's criteria ( Cohen, 1988 ); therefore, there was not even a trend toward effectiveness in increasing knowledge of aging.

An exploratory, descriptive questionnaire survey was conducted in wards providing continuing care for elderly people, to describe nursing staff perceptions of ward culture and its relation to job satisfaction. The study was designed to answer three principal research questions:1. To what extent are management practices in geriatric long stay wards perceived as participative (open) by nursing staff?2. Is the degree of ward openness positively associated with nursing staff levels of job satisfaction?3. Are perceptions of ward openness and levels of job satisfaction related to nursing staff grade
