Abstract:

Over thirty years ago geriatric nursing, as it was then called, was at the forefront of nursing research in the United Kingdom. Concurrent with the emergence of geriatric medicine as a distinct speciality, the pioneering study of Doreen Norton and colleagues (Norton et al. 1962) served to highlight both the deficits that existed in the hospital care of older people and the enormous potential of nursing to improve the situation, particularly for the ‘irremediable’ patient (Norton 1965). Caring for those who could not be cured but required on-going support was seen to constitute ‘true nursing’ and was identified as an area of practice in which nurses should excel (Norton 1965, Wells 1980). Such potential went largely unrealised, however, as nursing focused on acute, hospital-based care (Nolan 1994). As a consequence, those working in continuing care struggled to find value in their work and patients were subjected to ‘aimless residual care’ (Evers 1991), a situation exacerbated by the continued application of the biomedical model (Reed and Watson 1994). Despite claims that nurses working with older people have ‘special skills’ (Royal College of Nursing 1993), the nature of such skills has therefore never fully been explicated. Indeed, Armstrong-Esther et al. (1994) asked what nurses currently contribute to the well-being of elderly people and, following their study, suggested that nurses must take the initiative and expand their role if ‘we are going to avoid simply warehousing the elderly until they die’. The need to act is particularly pressing at present as the spectre of ‘bed-blockers’ emerges once more and there is growing professional concern that older people may soon be denied the right to receive care from a qualified nurse (Nursing Times 1996).

Abstract:

Abstract Background NHR are the frailest group of older people and require a gerontologically attuned approach to combat multiple challenges presented to the practitioner. The in-reach ANPc liaison service aims to confront such challenges, by providing comprehensive gerontological input to all nursing home residents admitted to hospital under all specialities medical, geriatric, and surgical. Methods This service commenced in September of 2018, working 9-5 Monday to Friday with limited leave cross-cover. All nursing home residents are reviewed by a Gerontology Advanced Nurse Practitioner candidate. Each patient received comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) with recommendations for care. All had follow up 2 weeks after discharge in telephone review clinic. Results 118 nursing home residents were admitted for acute care in the study period; 96/118 (82%) were reviewed by the ANPc. 16/118 (14%) were discharged prior to review and 6/118 (5%) died within 24 hours of admission. All other patients were reviewed within 72 hours. All assessed residents had >1 recommendation for intervention to enhance care following CGA: Interventions included 31% (30/96) undiagnosed delirium identified and management advice given. 21% (20/96) had recurrent falls work up and advice. 27% (26/96) had recommendations and changes to admission medications. 37% (36/96) referrals to other HSCP therapy disciplines for complete holistic care. 11% (11/ 96) had advanced care planning regarding future illnesses. 13% (13/96) had palliative care advice and referral to community palliative care. Follow up telephone review clinics have further resulted in reduced readmission rates through liaison with NH staff post-discharge. Conclusion The high complexity of this cohort of patients requires a timely, comprehensive gerontological approach in order to provide holistic care. They require a clearly defined approach to enhance care and minimise the need for unnecessary hospitalisations.

Abstract:

The purpose of this chapter is to discuss how genetics will affect gerontological nursing. The chapter will answer two questions: (1) Which aspects of genetics will be most relevant to future gerontological nursing practice? and (2) What will be the impact of genetics on the future of gerontological nursing education and research? MEDLINE was searched for relevant articles from 1995 to 2001 using the key words aging, genetics, geriatrics, nursing education, research, and gerontology. CRISP was searched using the thesaurus terms education/planning, genetics, health education, model design/development, psychological model, pubic health curriculum, behavioral/social science research, and research nursing/genetics. A total of 101 nursing and nonnursing articles were reviewed. Research reports were selected if they focused on issues related to gerontological nursing. Articles were reviewed that had application to genetic nursing, complex diseases, and genetics.The evolution of the science of genetics will revolutionize gerontological nursing and affect future nursing education and research as the concepts of genetic science and the technology they generate are translated into everyday clinical practice. Genetic discoveries in common complex diseases will affect care provided by gerontological nurses in the 21st century. Gerontological nurses must move quickly to recognize this genetic paradigm shift and to incorporate genetics issues into their nursing practice.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Objectives: To analyze and reflect on the potential applicability of the contribution of the physical resilience conceptual model of Whitson et al. in the care for older adults. Method: The present article of reflection was structured based on the consultation of articles and definition of inherent concepts, with analysis and reason of the potentialities of its application in geriatric nursing care. Results: Physical resilience is influenced by diverse stimuli. The identification of stressors and early intervention enable the delay of the functional capacity decline. In practice, the planning of interventions that depend on the innate capacity of older adults is of utmost importance. Conclusion: The trajectory outlined over a debilitating event is relevant to understand the factors that contribute to the development of frailty or pre-frailty conditions. This knowledge allows nurses to adjust their practice and contribute to the effectiveness of interventions and a better prevention of the frailty syndrome.

Abstract:

Abstract Since 1998 the Hartford Institute for Geriatric Nursing has offered a summer program designed to accelerate the development of research projects and trajectories for young scientists. This interprofessional program brings faculty and scholars together from across the globe representing all healthcare disciplines. In the week long program, scholars benefit from expert presentations and daily mentoring sessions with experts in gerontological research. In this symposium, scholars will discuss strategies they have used to successfully move from ideas for research, to development of proposals, conduct of research projects and planning career trajectories. We will present differing mentoring strategies and available mentoring opportunities for gerontological-focused scientists. Each scholar will present their work with topics including optimal medication management to sustain home placement: use of adaptive dance to improve mood and function in persons with Alzheimer’s disease; facilitating positive attitudes toward older adults in nursing students; the use of mindfulness to reduce symptoms of urinary incontinence; and, a novel intervention to reduce pressure ulcers in the nursing home.

Abstract:

Abstract While the inter-RAI, a comprehensive geriatric assessment tool, contains standardized system for assessing quality of care, there are limitations for its everyday use. Limitations include large number of items, lack of apparent process indicators, and limited symptoms and disease-related information. A new approach was introduced to develop gerontological nursing quality indicators that were targeted at long-term care. We plan to develop staff-friendly indicators, which can be extracted from regular routine client records. A group of nurse researchers discussed essential domains of elderly persons’ life quality, based on nursing theory literature, that nurses strive to maintain. Several outcome indicators were derived out of the domains, and process quality indicators were developed based on literature review. We identified nine domains based on Gordon’s functional health patterns: 1) minimizing symptoms and disease deterioration, 2) maintaining nutritional status, 3) controlling bowel movements, 4) encouraging physical activities, 5) promoting sound sleep, 6) minimizing dementia symptoms, 7) maintaining dignity, and 8) reducing family stress. We then developed 17 outcome indicators; each domain included one to four outcome indicators (e.g., maintaining nutritional status has three indicators: no aspiration, no weight loss by 3% or more, and no dehydration). Process indicators that covered regular assessment (e.g., swallowing evaluation), preventive interventions (e.g., adjusting body positions during a meal), and interventions for the problems (e.g., food texture modification) were determined. These indicators may be useful to assess gerontological nursing quality. We are planning to conduct expert panel and individual client surveys to assess its usability.

Abstract:

Abstract With the need to increase gerontological competency among all health/social service professions, the Rapid Geriatric Assessment (RGA) (Morley, 2017) is a tool that can be used in most healthcare settings. Designed as a rapid screening, the validated RGA assesses frailty, sarcopenia, anorexia, cognitive function, and advance care planning. Developed in 2015 through the Geriatric Workforce Enhancement Program (GWEP), 3,489 students and 5,643 faculty and practitioners have been trained in its use and have completed 10,881 RGAs in case-finding, screening, nursing home, PACE, and hospital and residential settings. Non-population-based findings show higher-then-national prevalence in all four health condition areas across settings: frailty (n=3,140; 30%), sarcopenia (n=4,458; 42.1%), weight loss risk (n=3,012; 28.4%), and cognitive impairment (n=2,509; 23.7%). Only 34.8% of the total sample had completed advance care plans. Data comparing results by gender, age, race/ethnicity, and setting will be presented along with strategies for curricular and practice integration.

AbstractPurposeThe present study aimed to reveal trends in simulated education in Japanese gerontological nursing by conducting a text mining analysis of the Igaku Chuo Zasshi databank.MethodsSimulated education is focused by field of Japanese nursing education in recently. Therefore, we searched for original articles containing the terms “Simulated education” and “gerontological nursing” which were published between 2014and 2019. Articles containing these terms, as well as thesaurus words in the articles, were analyzed using Trend Search. The analysis provided a conceptual map of related words, with the strength of the relationship reflected in the thickness of lines and the distance between them.Igaku Chuo ZasshiA literature search was conducted using Igaku Chuo Zasshi, the Japanese medical literature database provided by the NPO Japan Medical Abstracts Society. This database comprises approximately 5000 journal titles and 6,300,000 articles.Text mining softwareTrend Search is a commercially available software developed by FUJITSU. Articles were anonymized prior to analysis.Ethical considerationsOnly anonymous articles were selected.Results and ConclusionsThe search identified 15 articles. Mapping yielded the two wedges of [Learning] and [Simulated game]. The [Learning] wedge had three groups ( Introduce, Communications, and Aging ). Introduce refers to nursing processes via simulated patients or role play. Communications refers to practice in gerontological nursing. Aging refers to role playing with group works in fundamental nursing. The [Simulated game] wedge had two groups (Effects and On-the-job training). Effects refers to leaving bed or psychographics. On-the-job training refers to simulation of elderly because of understanding.

Abstract:

Abstract Background The NHS Long Term Plan (2019) sets specific targets for multidisciplinary services for frail older people over the next ten years. Delivery and sustainability is crucially dependant on the capability and capacity of gerontological nursing. High cost cities such as London experience high staff vacancy rates in acute care older adult services. Aim The study took a regional approach, working with NHS Trusts to develop a multicomponent intervention to increase retention and competencies of early career nurses working in gerontological services. The study examined the acceptability and feasibility of the intervention and tested a quasi-experiential evaluation design. Ethical approval was obtained from the University Ethics committee. Methods A co-design approach with stakeholders, early career nurses, educationalists and nurse managers, produced a multicomponent intervention: education module (masters level), gerontological competency booklet, external clinical learning opportunities, career coaching and mentorship delivered over a six-month period. The evaluation involved a mix-methods pre-post survey and focus group interviews. Results Twenty-nine early career nurses were recruited from five Trusts. The multicomponent intervention was well received, but there were difficulties facilitating external learning opportunities and providing career mentors. The primary outcome was intention to remain in gerontological nursing (measured using a point Likert scale). Pre-post the intervention this remained high (mean score 6 IQR 5-7), p=0.78. There was a significant increase in gerontological knowledge: at baseline the median score was 87 (IQR 81-102) compared to 107 (IQR 98-112) post-intervention, p=0.006. In focus groups participants identified three main mechanism of action for ECHO: building gerontological knowledge and skills; professional identity as older adult nurse; and networking to broaden horizons. Conclusions The study has demonstrated the potential of Trusts to work collaboratively with education providers to deliver a model of career-education pathway that may help attract and retain early career nurses to work in gerontology.

Abstract:

Abstract The purpose of our Geriatric Workforce Enhancement Program is to provide geriatric and primary care education and training to long-term care (LTC) providers and staff, health professions students and community members. Our LTC partners and the communities we serve are often very rural and travel to urban areas for training can be difficult. Therefore, we have developed four online training that are offered free to our partners and rural communities statewide. These programs are designed to integrate the aims of the Age-Friendly 4M’s model (i.e., What Matters, Mobility, Medication, Mentation). The LTC nurse residency program provides gerontological nursing and inter-professional leadership training (all 4M’s), in a synchronous online environment. The asynchronous Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias training modules educate LTC staff and family caregivers about types, diagnosis and care of older adults with dementia (Mentation and Medication). The asynchronous Opioid Use in LTC modules were developed with partners to deliver live at LTC staff trainings about opioid stewardship (Medication). The LTC Learning Communities are monthly tele-health sessions for inter-professional LTC teams to discuss current issues and propose solutions (all 4M’s). We have successfully leveraged different synchronous and asynchronous online modalities to increase educational opportunities for formal and informal caregivers, including those in rural areas whose educational opportunities are geographically limited. To date our programs have reached over 500 individuals across our state, increasing knowledge about geriatric concepts, communication and team leadership. Moving forward, we will continue to develop and refine educational programs that promote the Age-Friendly geriatric-focused health care.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze Brazilian scientific productions from the last 11 years which show the contributions of nursing to elderly people in long-term care facilities. Method: This is an integrative literature review. The search took place in the Virtual Health Library (VHL) in the BDENF and LILACS databases and the SCIELO virtual library, between June and October 2016, using the keyword long-term care facility and the descriptors nursing and geriatrics. Results: Eleven studies were selected, published 2005 and 2016, with various methodological approaches that enabled discussion of the proposed objective. Conclusion: The contributions of nursing to institutionalized elderly people were linked to health promotion measures, as well as simple interventions, such as listening, interacting, offering recreation and helping in psychoaffective relationships. These activities contributed to raising the self-esteem of the individuals.

Abstract:

In the world, a share of elderly and old individuals in the total population is constantly growing. This change in the demographic situation in the modern society certainly arouses a justified interest for the medico-social problems of this category of the population. A special role in this problem is assigned to the medium-grade medical personnel, since a statistically average patient ˃60 years of age suffers from a number of different chronic diseases, including cognitive disorders, senile dementia, syndrome of nutrition deficit, serious disorders in the musculo-skeletal system, etc. Salvation of these and other essential problems requires elaboration of complex targeted programs and special training of the nursing staff for work in hospitals, hospices, palliative beds, etc. In the ageing society it is necessary to find appropriate rational forms of organization of medical assistance for aged group of patients and modern ways of interdepartmental interactions that would correspond to the principles of restructure of the healthcare systems. At present in Russia there exist several specialized geriatric and gerontological centers that render different kinds of medical care to the older generation. Integrated character, availability and effectiveness of medico-social assistance for individuals of older age groups is the aim of well-developed geriatric service. Development of such kind of support is also beneficial from the economical point of view in the sense that it permits to reduce duration of repeat stay in hospital, the number of ambulance calls, etc. The mentioned measures will help optimize treatment and diagnosis of age-related diseases and will permit to actualize the term healthy ageing. In the article, the problems of rendering medical assistance for the older age groups of population are considered with accentuation on the increased role of nursing personnel in realization of medical and social help to the elderly population within the three-level system on an example of the Voronezh region.

Abstract:

Introduction: Globally, the numbers of elderly population are increasing which is one of the challenges for nurses in health care setting. Nurses' attitude towards elderly people is associated to quality of care they provide. Objective To identify attitude of nurses towards care of elderly people in teaching hospitals of Kathmandu valley. Methodology A cross sectional research design was used to identify attitude of nurses towards care of elderly people. Proportionate stratified random sampling technique was used to select 450 nurses. Ethical approval was taken from Institutional Review Board of Nepal Health Research Council. Data collection was done from 17 April 2017 to 16 April 2018 by using self-administrative questionnaire on socio-demographic characteristics and Multi-factorial Attitude Questionnaires (MAQ) to measure attitude. Data analysis was done using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results The study revealed that 55.3% of respondents had negative attitude and 44.7% had positive attitude towards care of elderly people. There was significant association between age, marital status, studied geriatric nursing and work experiences in nursing with attitudes of nurses. However, there is no association found of ethnicity, religion, type of family, living with elderly, education and currently working with elderly with attitudes of nurses. Conclusion From these findings, it is concluded that about more than half of the nurses had negative attitude towards care of elderly. Gerontological nursing course plays significant role in the attitude of nurses. Therefore, it should be given continuity in all level of nursing education for providing quality care of elderly people.

Abstract:

Gerontological research has emphasized family members' continued involvement in the lives of loved ones following institutionalization. However, many of these studies are cross-sectional in design and do not ascertain how family members' visits change over time. The present study utilized a growth curve analysis to examine preplacement and postplacement predictors of nursing home visits over a two-year period among a sample of 65 caregivers of dementia patients. Intraindividual patterns of change suggested considerable heterogeneity in family visits. Several variables were also significantly predictive ( p < .05) of change in nursing home visits. Spousal caregivers were more likely to report increased visits. Care recipients with greater cognitive impairment following institutionalization experienced increased visits. Caregivers who perceived respect and support from their social network following institutionalization also reported increased visits over the two-year study period. Caregivers who engaged in socially restorative activities after institutionalization reported decreases in visits. The findings provide a more refined understanding of the long-term involvement process following institutionalization.

Abstract:

Abstract Background The older inpatient population is a particularly frail cohort with high rates of delirium, falls and immobility. These patients require skilled gerontological nursing with high levels of supervision. Despite this, restraints such as bed rails continue to be common. Tethering through intravenous drips and urinary catheters are another form of restraint. Methods We performed a chart review and a bedside observation of patients aged ≥75 on medical wards admitted for ≥72 hours. We excluded patients who were critically unwell or imminently dying. We used the open source software package PSPP to complete the statistical analysis. Results We reviewed 100 patients, of whom 25 were restrained in some way (most commonly by bed rails 80%), 10 were tethered (through intravenous drips, oxygen tubing, urinary catheters and others), 7 were in isolation for infection control reasons. Restraint was associated with greater dependence in mobility and function, reduced time out of bed (Mann Whitney, P< 0.05), delirium and incontinence (chi square, p <0.05). Isolation was associated with greater physical dependence (Mann Whitney, P< 0.05), and tethering was associated with incontinence (chi square, p <0.05). The relatively low number of isolated and tethered patients reduced the power of the study. 50% of patients with a urinary catheter did not have a clear indication and only 14% of catheterised patients had leg bags Conclusion Patients who are restrained are clearly frailer, more dependent, spend more time in bed, have higher rates of delirium and incontinence. These are particularly vulnerable patients who need high levels of attention from both medical and nursing staff. Supervision is always superior to restraint but requires investment in staff and resources. Patients who are isolated are also more physically dependent. Tethering should be minimised. Simple measures such as leg bags are underused.
