The probability of nursing home use over a lifetime in Australia

This article further develops the life table models used in the USA by taking advantage of the superior data available in Australia. The probabilities of nursing home use over a lifetime are estimated for various ages for men and women. The results show that over one-third of the members of a female birth cohort will eventually enter nursing homes for long-term care at least once. The corresponding probability for males is one in five. A woman at age 65 faces a probability as high as 39% of using a nursing home for permanent care before her death compared with 25% for a man at age 65.

Home Is Where the Help Is

Abstract

Policy regarding long-term care has been an issue of rising national concern. In this paper we examine the transition of Danish long-term care policy with special attention to Skævinge, the first community in Denmark to integrate institutional and community-based services for the elderly. Recent studies on the variation between costs and services in Danish communities and the results of U.S. studies on community-based care suggest that successful implementation of integrated institutional and community-based long-term care is feasible in the United States. Lessons from Denmark highlight conditions that will facilitate success in this endeavor.     

评判性思维培养教学法在外科护理教学查房中的应用

目的探讨外科护理学教学查房中应用评判性思维培养教学法对培养学生评判性思维、提高学生综合能力及教学满意度等方面的影响。方法200名在外科实习的护理专业学生分为传统教学组（102名）和评判性思维培养教学组（98名）,进行外科护理查房教学,最后对有关10项指标进行评定。结果评判性思维培养教学组在详细了解病情、有效收集资料、查阅相关文献、发挥主观能动性、理论联系实际、提高思维能力、提高分析解决问题能力、融合相关基础知识、掌握专科知识、提高语言表达能力等方面与传统教学组有显著性差异（P〈0.05）。结论在外科护理教学查房中,评判性思维培养教学法在培养学生评判性思维、提高学生综合能力及教学满意度等方面优于传统教学法。

Nursing-Home Resident Quality of Life: A Longitudinal Case Study Approach

Longitudinal quality-of-life (QOL) research incorporating multiple perspectives can add to knowledge about how nursing home residents experience QOL, but these methods are seldom used. This study employed interviews and participant observation to conduct multiple-perspective, longitudinal case studies of six residents. Close, reciprocal relationships with staff members, staff knowledge of residents, and autonomy were fundamental to QOL. Autonomy was experienced through choice and self-advocacy. Changes in QOL over time related to changes in resident health status, acclimation to the setting and family member availability. Study results may have implications for staffing and staff training.     

Effects of Impact-Absorbing Flooring in Residential Care from the Perspectives of Enrolled Nurses

Falls are a daily occurrence in nursing homes and few interventions for reducing fall-related injuries have proven to be effective. Impact absorbing flooring (IAF) in residential care has shown promising results in reducing fall-injuries and in the process of developing and implementing IAF all aspects are valuable to explore. Therefore, the aim of this qualitative study is to describe the enrolled nurses (ENs) experiences of IAF. We carried out focus group interviews with ENs and used content analysis to process the data. The ENs experienced both negative and positive aspects with the IAF. Importantly, the ENs perceived the IAF as effective in preventing fall-injuries. They also appreciated the improvements in acoustics. Negative aspects were that the flooring initially was challenging to walk on and that it made it harder to maneuver heavy equipment. A significant and transferable finding in this study was the importance of the ENs' perceived difficulty in preventing fall-injuries amongst elderly people living in nursing homes. This seemed to be a driving force to accept the intervention. Although IAF affects the working conditions in a nursing home, ENs are willing to accept these issues given the perceived effectiveness of the intervention.
