Abstract:

<p> Abstract For decades, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has been prevalent in various vulnerable communities in America. American Haitians are disproportionately affected by T2DM. Diabetes is the primary cause of death among elderly Haitians, most of whom have no knowledge of diabetes management. The purpose of the project is to determine if an educational intervention would increase compliance with diet and exercise, decrease blood glucose, and promote successful management of T2DM among elderly diabetic patients living in District 16.

Abstract:

<p> This study seeks to determine the payer source for single, elderly women in nursing homes. By determining the payer source for single, elderly women, the next generation of women can prepare for high nursing home costs by saving earlier or investing in long-term care insurance. Studies have shown the primary payer sources for nursing home costs are Medicare and Medicaid. This study hypothesized single women, when compared to married women, would utilize Medicaid and welfare to pay for nursing home costs. Secondary data from the 2004 National Nursing Home Survey was extracted and analyzed f

Abstract:

Life expectancy among the elderly has been improving for decades and edentulousness is constantly decreasing among the senior citizens. The steady decrease of tooth loss among the elderly is a challenge to the dental profession due to the increased demand of oral care. This study aims to explore the perspectives regarding oral health and oral care among the elderly living in nursing homes. Ten subjects from two nursing homes in Umeå were interviewed based on a defined interview guide. The interview guide contained open-ended questions regarding oral health and oral care.

Abstract:

Medication management constitutes a large part of registered nurses' (RNs) daily work in municipal elderly care. They are responsible for monitoring multimorbid older persons with extensive treatments, and they often work alone, without daily access to physicians. RNs’ drug monitoring is, in this thesis, based on the concept of pharmacovigilance. Pharmacovigilance is about the science and the activities that aim to improve patient care and safety in drug use, that is, to detect, assess, understand and prevent drug-related problems. The overall aim was to explore conditions for pharmacovigilanc

A descriptive study, using a retrospective chart review, investigated the mortality rates for 77 elderly nursing home residents who at the time of the study had been relocated between 10.5 and 13.5 months. Variables identified were age, sex, diagnosis, frequency of acute hospital admissions, nursing home placement, time interval between relocation and date of death, and number of years spent in a nursing home. Findings showed that 31 (40%) of the relocated subjects died within the 13.5 month post-relocation period. Sixteen (52%) of those deaths occurred within six weeks of relocation. Data rev

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

The focus of the study is on those occasions which constitute nursing assessment, in recognition that these occasions cannot be detached from other aspects of nurses' conduct.

Abstract:

An integral concern across care settings is the prompt intervention for patients suffering with pain. Long-term care (LTC) settings present with unique challenges to assess and manage pain in resident populations. Pain assessment is especially challenging, because residents have varying degrees of cognition to communicate their pain, and clinician/staff knowledge of pain symptoms may be lacking. The purpose of this research was to improve the measurement of pain and outcomes of care for the elderly residing in skilled nursing care, especially those with cognitive-impairment.
