Abstract:

Falls and related injuries have affected residents in long-term care facilities for many years. It has been well-established that patient fall prevention includes staff education and hourly rounding in addition to adequate risk assessment. These steps, taken together, have the potential to decrease a 52.7% fall rate on the long-term care pilot unit. The purpose of this quality improvement project was to: (a) educate staff on the process of properly performing hourly rounding and (b) and achieve a decreased incidence of falls from the current fall rate. Thus, the practice-focused question for t

Abstract:

Many elderly patients remain in acute care hospitals while they await transfer to Long Term Care (LTC) facilities. Complex problems, common for this special group of patients, place them at risk for delayed discharge. Discharge planning, for these patients, has become an increasingly critical activity for social workers.<br>This study examined factors that predict the risks for inappropriate hospitalization for 244 patients waiting for LTC in 1999, and it explored the LTC application process to identify barriers to delayed discharges.<br>It was found that 63% of the hospitalization of these pa

Abstract:

This study set out to evaluate a small scale model of care for people with dementia that aimed to support residents within a daily household routine (termed household care). Stemming from a pluralistic evaluation, this thesis examines issues identified as important to residents' experience, namely the ability of the care houses to provide a home for life, the process and effectiveness of recreating a homely environment and the implications of group-living. Three case studies were investigated with multiple methods, including semi-structured interviews with staff, relatives and representatives

The purpose of this study was to evaluate what factors influence dentists in their decision to provide services in long-term care facilities within British Columbia. The secondary purpose was to determine if dentists practicing in rural areas of British Columbia are more willing to provide services in LTC compared to dentists in urban areas. Also, to assess if there were any changes in opinions of dentists (practicing in Metro-Vancouver) in providing services to patients in long-term care compared to a similar study from 1985.

This study involved 58 persons with dementia living in three rural Canadian long-term care (LTC) facilities. In an attempt to find the relationship between these person's possible pain and levels of agitation, data on five proxy indicators of pain were collected and correlated with scores from the Pittsburgh Agitation Scale (PAS). Results indicated that three of the resident pain measures were significantly correlated with PAS scores. In particular, the palliative consultant pain ratings and the DS-DAT were strongly correlated with total PAS scores, and the five PAS sub-factors. Importantly, t

Abstract:

When family members no longer have the capacity to meet Alzheimer's Disease (AD) caregiving demands at home, a move to a nursing home or other formal care facility becomes the only solution. Recognizing this as a time of transition, three research questions were identified: (1) What do family caregivers to AD individuals experience as they shift their caregiving from home to formal care settings? (2) How does caregiving in formal care differ from caregiving at home? and (3) How do family caregivers perceive the relationships that develop between families and formal care staff?

The aim of this thesis was to describe the impact and consequences of case finding for depression in patients with long-term physical conditions in primary care from the perspective of primary healthcare professionals. Study one (chapter two) evaluated the effects of incentivised case finding using an interrupted time series analysis of routinely collected data. It found that incentivised case finding increased new depression-related diagnoses and rates of antidepressant prescribing. Increased prescribing is of concern as it may include treatment of people unlikely to respond to medication. St

Abstract:

<p> Falls are a serious issue for the elderly living in long-term care facilities, as falls contribute to significant health problems such as increased dependence, loss of autonomy, confusion, immobilization, depression, restriction in daily activities, and, in some cases, death. An estimated 424,000 fatal falls in elderly patients residing in long-term facilities occur annually in the United States costing $34 billion in direct medical costs. One way to reduce falls among elderly patients in long-term care is to assess for fall risk frequently and implement evidence-based strategies to preven

Abstract:

Research shows that one of the major contributors for an extended stay in a long-term care facility is lack of knowledge regarding goals for rehabilitation after being discharged from an acute care facility. It is important to determine patients’ levels of engagement because individuals who are actively involved in discharge planning and rehabilitation goals are able to manage their ongoing care more effectively, which results in increased quality of life. The data was collected using a survey method and the instrument used was the Patient Activation Measure or PAM which is a highly accurate a

Abstract:

One of the most common methods used by healthcare professionals in the ventilator unit to reduce morbidity and mortality due to ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is a group of best practices known as the ventilator bundle.

The purpose of this quality improvement project was to investigate the level of compliance with the different components of the ventilator bundle protocol at the study site's nursing home and rehabilitation center, as well as to improve compliance w

The study had two purposes which included: (1) to describe what factors influence self-satisfaction and perceived quality of care provided for individuals who have had spinal cord injury, and (2) to generate the Learned Response Model that describes the relationships among factors essential
