Abstract:
ABSTRACTBackground: The work attitudes and psychological well-being of aged care nurses are important factors impacting on the current and future capacity of the aged care workforce. Expanding our understanding of the ways in which the psychosocial work environment influences these outcomes is important in order to enable organizations to improve the management of human resources in this sector.Methods: Using survey data from a sample of 222 Australian aged care nurses, regression analyses were employed to test the relative impact of a range of psychosocial work environment variables derived from the demand-control-support (DCS) model and organizational justice variables on satisfaction, commitment, well-being, and depression.Results: The expanded model predicted the work attitudes and well-being of aged care nurses, particularly the DCS components. Specifically, demand was related to depression, well-being, and job satisfaction, job control was related to depression, commitment, and job satisfaction, and supervisor support and interpersonal fairness were related to well-being. The contributions of informational and interpersonal justice, along with the main and interaction effects of supervisor support, highlight the centrality of the supervisor in addressing the impact of job demands on aged care nurses.Conclusion: Psychosocial variables have utility beyond predicting stress outcomes to the work attitudes of nurses in an aged care setting and thus present further avenues of research for the retention of nurses and improved patient care.

Abstract:
ABSTRACTAs in other ageing populations, dementia, musculoskeletal conditions and cardiovascular disease affect a high proportion of Australians aged over 65 years, and the prevalence of these conditions increases significantly with age. People with these conditions may need to access a range of care services over time to enable them to remain living in their homes. Many eventually need to move into a nursing home.In contrast to the considerable recent literature on the funding of long-term care systems for population ageing, studies on the care pathways followed by individuals are much less common. This paper explores the effect of disease on use of community care services and nursing homes over time, focusing on people with dementia, cardiovascular disease and musculoskeletal conditions. Care-use transitions are identified using linked administrative client data for a cohort of 33,300 community-living Australians who had an aged care assessment in 2003-04 and who had not previously used aged care services.The different symptoms and courses of diseases meant that the patterns of aged care service use, both in terms of care services accessed and the timing of this access, varied considerably for people with different health conditions. These differences persisted across a range of client characteristics. In particular, people with dementia or cerebrovascular disease as their main health condition were more likely to enter nursing home care than those with heart disease or musculoskeletal conditions.The variation in use of aged care services according to disease group need to be taken into account in any projections of demand for aged care. Such projections must allow for predictions of disease prevalence, or else they will yield inaccurate predictions of demand for both community and residential care.

Abstract:
Aged care communities have been under the spotlight since the beginning of 2020. Energy is essential to ensure reliable operation and quality care provision in residential aged care communities (RAC). The aim of this study is to determine how RAC’s yearly energy use and peak demand changed in Australia and what this might mean for RAC design, operation and energy asset investment and ultimately in the healthcare plan for elderly residents. Five years of electricity demand data from four case study RACs in the same climate zone are analyzed. Statistical tools are used to analyze the data, and a clustering algorithm is used to identify typical demand profiles. A number of energy key performance indicators (KPIs) are evaluated, highlighting their respective benefits and limitations. The results show an average 8% reduction for yearly energy use and 7% reduction for yearly peak demands in the COVID-19 year compared with the average of the previous four years. Typical demand profiles for the four communities were mostly lower in the pandemic year. Despite these results, the KPI analysis shows that, for these four communities, outdoor ambient temperature remains a very significant correlation factor for energy use.

Abstract:
Abstract Regional distribution of home care patients and future demand in Japan are unknown. This study aimed to reveal the actual situation of home care patients by region and forecast demand up to 2045. Linked complete health and long-term care insurance claims data on Nara Prefecture (around 1% of the total population and area of Japan) patients aged 75 years or older who received planned and/or urgent medical treatment by physician home visit between April 2015 and March 2016 were extracted and analyzed by sex, age group, and municipality. We calculated the proportion of home medical care utilization and projected the number of home care patients for every five-year period up to 2045 across five administrative areas of the medical service in Nara Prefecture. Data on 12,656 patients, including 1,455 aged 75–79 years, 2,753 aged 80–84, 3,854 aged 85–89, and 4,594 aged 90 years or older, were extracted. The current proportion of patients receiving home medical care (unadjusted for age) by medical service administrative area showed a difference of up to 1.6 times for those aged 90 years or older. Results of forecasting showed a marked increase in the number of patients aged 90 years or older, with overall numbers continuing to increase up to 2040, reaching a maximum of around 25,759 then decreasing thereafter. The future increase in home care patient numbers could vary by age and area, and our findings suggest that public health policy based on the future demand in each area will be required.

Abstract:
ABSTRACTAustralian providers of aged care are facing a rapidly ageing population and growth in demand for services. Beyond a sheer increase in consumers and major regulatory changes from Federal Government, many customers are becoming progressively discontented with a medically dominated model of care provision. This period of turbulence presents an opportunity for new entrants and forward-thinking organisations to disrupt the market by designing a more compelling value offering. Under this line of inquiry, the researchers conducted a qualitative content analysis study of over 37 Australian aged care organisations, clustering providers into six business model typologies. The study revealed that providers of aged care are becoming increasingly aware of emerging customer needs, and, in addressing these needs, are seeking to establish innovative models of care provision. This paper therefore presents a future model of care, along with implications for practice and policy.

Abstract:
Turkey exemplifies a typical familialistic long-term care regime as having a negligible degree of state and market participation in the active delivery of aged care services. However, demographic and economic changes necessitate a transition towards a new type of care regime. An upward shift in the population’s age structure and increasing economic strains weaken the caregiving capacities of Turkish families. This paper analyzes demographic and economic factors within a demand-supply framework to question the future sustainability of the existing care regime. It presents descriptive evidence for a growing crisis of aged care in Turkey by focusing on long-term care. It also assesses the implications of a cash-for-care (CfC) scheme devised by the government to keep the care provision of disabled older people within the family sphere. Overall, this paper contributes to the ongoing debates on the distribution of aged care responsibilities by conceptualizing the proposed solution as semi-familialized care–namely, a set of alternative strategies to overcome the aged care challenges families face in Turkey. The main pillars of this proposal are much greater involvement of the state in aged care, together with some support services and entitlements granted to the family caregivers.

AbstractGiven the growing demand for aged residential care facilities in Western industrialised economies, the adequate staffing of these facilities is a growing concern. Increasingly migrant care workers are being employed to fill the local labour shortfall. In this paper we present findings of a qualitative study exploring how managers of aged residential care facilities work to ensure consistent delivery of quality care through their migrant care workers. The issues raised by the 16 managers cluster around three themes: communication and language barriers; racism by residents, families and managers; and underemployment of tertiary qualified migrant care workers. In addition to issues of quality care delivery, concerns around migrant employee well-being are seen to be difficult to avoid.

Abstract:
Although the demand for aged residential care increases, low use of aged residential care by Indigenous people raises questions about unrecognised barriers to health care. The objectives of this systematic literature review are to (a) examine current scientific literature that reports older Indigenous people’s experiences in aged residential care and (b) describe critical factors that shape Indigenous people’s preferences in aged residential care settings. We conducted a systematic review of studies using an online search of the literature. A total of 6,233 citations were retrieved, and 45 studies examined in full-text. Eight studies met the study inclusion criteria. Indigenous older people were found to be younger, had higher prevalence of complex health conditions, and were less likely to receive dental and mental health services on admission to aged residential care. Their preferences for care were more likely to be evident in aged residential care facilities where the Indigenous composition of staff reflected the Indigenous makeup of its residents.

Abstract:
Bakgrund: Människor blir idag allt äldre och demenssjukdomar förväntas bli ett växande problem. Inget bot finns men symtom kan hämmas genom farmakologiska behandlingar, dock ofta med flera biverkningar. Personer med demenssjukdom utvecklar ofta beteendeförändringar som kan vara svåra att bemöta för vårdgivare. I och med sjukdomens karaktär och olika förekommande symtom är en god och personcentrerad vård att föredra för att främja vårdtagarens delaktighet och integritet. Syfte: Att sammanställa och beskriva aktuell forskning om vilka effekter musik har som omvårdnadsåtgärd inom demensvård. Metod: Studien är en litteraturöversikt baserad på (n=18) artiklar från tio länder. Databaserna CINAHL, Pubmed och Web of Science användes och de artiklar som inkluderats är av kvantitativ ansats (n=12), kvalitativ ansats (n=5) samt Mixed method (n=1). Efter analys har skillnader och likheter i artiklarnas resultat skapat teman och subteman. Resultat: Musikinterventioner hade positiva effekter, bland annat gällande BPSD, kognitiva funktioner och psykofarmakologisk behandling. Musik kunde även bidra till en ökad samhörighet mellan vårdgivare och personer med demenssjukdom. Anhörigas och vårdgivares uppfattningar om musikens effekter var blandade, åsikterna var dock samstämmiga om att musik bör användas som omvårdnadsåtgärd. Slutsats: Musik har en positiv påverkan på personer med demenssjukdom och BPSD genom att fungera som en personcentrerad åtgärd inom omvårdnaden och bör implementeras mer.
Background: People are growing older and dementia is expected to become an increasing problem. There is no available cure, but symptoms can be inhibited by pharmacological treatments, often with side effects. People with dementia often develop behavioral changes that are difficult to respond to for caregivers. With the nature of the disease and the different symptoms occuring, a person-centered care is preferable to promote participation and integrity. Aim: To conclude current research on the effects of music in the nursing care of people with dementia. Method: A literature review based on (n=18) articles from ten countries. Quantitative (n=12), qualitative (n=5) and mixed method (n=1) articles were used from CINAHL, Pubmed and Web of Science. After the analysis, differences and similarities in the articles created themes and subthemes. Results: Music interventions proved to have positive effects, regarding BPSD, cognitive functions and psychopharmacological treatment. Music could contribute to increased association between caregivers and people with dementia. The caregivers and family members' perceptions of the effects of music were mixed, however, the views were consistent that music should be used as a nursing measure. Conclusion: Music has a positive impact on people with dementia and BPSD by acting as a person-centered nursing measure and should be implemented more.

Abstract:
Bakgrund: Demenssjukdom är ett samlingsnamn för symtom orsakade av någon form avhjärnskada. Beroende på var skadan sitter, kan sjukdomsbild variera. Några symtom viddemenssjukdom kan försämring av minne, oro, agiterat beteende och depressiva symtom.Dessa behandlas ofta med läkemedel. Alternativa behandlingar, såsom musik, har visat siganvändbara inom både demensvården och övriga vården och givit positiva effekter på hälsan. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att beskriva vad musik kan ha för effekt gällande beteende hosäldre personer med demenssjukdom, enligt den vetenskapliga litteraturen. Metod: Beskrivande kvantitativ litteraturöversikt. Resultat: Av tio studier studerade åtta musikenseffekt på agiterat beteende, varav fem av dessa kunde påvisa en minskning. Tre studierundersökte musikens effekt på oro, samtliga redovisade minskad oro. Två studier studeradeom musik hade effekt på depressiva symtom. I en av dem minskade detta efter interventionermed musik. Slutsats: Genom att tillämpa musik inom vården för äldre personer meddemenssjukdom kan det bidra till positiva effekter på hälsan såsom minskat agiterat beteende,minskad oro och minskade depressiva symtom. Det ska dock tas hänsyn till att musiken ivarje enskild studie haft en varierad effekt på beteendemässiga och psykiska symtom. Trotspositiva resultat behövs mer forskning kring musik som en alternativ behandling dåforskningen inom området är begränsad. Det läsaren kan ha i åtanke är att musik inte skadar,därför uppmuntras personer i demenssjukas närhet att spela musik - en insats som sannoliktkan medföra positiva följder för alla inblandade.
Background: Dementia is a general term for symptoms caused by abnormal brain changes.Depending on where the changes are located, the clinical picture varies. Symptoms ofdementia could be memory loss, anxiety, agitated behaviour and depressive symptoms.These are frequently treated with medication. Alternative treatments, such as music, havebeen proven to be useful in both dementia care and other health care sectors and have hadpositive effects on health. Aim: The aim of this study was to describe what effect music canhave regarding the behaviour of aged people with dementia, according to the scientificliterature. Method: A descriptive quantitative literature review. Result: Eight articles studiedthe effect of music on agitated behaviour, five demonstrated a decrease. Three studiesexamined the effect of music on anxiety, all decreased anxiety. Two studies examined theeffect of music on depressive symptoms, one reported decreased depressive symptoms. Conclusion: By applying music in dementia care, it can contribute to positive effects onhealth such as reduced agitated behaviour, anxiety and depressive symptoms. However, itmust be considered that the music interventions in each study had a varied effect onbehavioural and psychological symptoms. Despite positive results, more research on music asan alternative treatment is needed, as research in the area is limited. The reader should keepin mind that music does not harm, therefore people in the vicinity of elderly with dementiaare encouraged to play music - an effort that is most likely to have positive consequences foreveryone involved.

O objeto da investigação foi o autocuidado de idosos que convivem com doenças crônicas não transmissíveis e que demandam cuidados de enfermagem no domicílio, com enfoque para o processo educativo em saúde e enfermagem no âmbito da temática da educação e promoção da saúde desenvolvida pelo enfermeiro em contexto assistencial multiprofissional de atenção à pessoa idosa. Objetivou-se compreender como as ações educativas e de autocuidado terapêutico contribuem para a autonomia dos idosos com doenças crônicas não transmissíveis, buscando identificar o conhecimento que possuem acerca da doença, seus tratamentos e cuidados de promoção da saúde e prevenção de complicações; identificar as necessidades de educação em saúde para o autocuidado do ponto de vista dos idosos que convivem com doenças crônicas não transmissíveis; compreender como o idoso aplica os conhecimentos de promoção da saúde e prevenção das complicações das doenças crônicas resultantes de práticas educativas; e discutir sobre a contribuição da enfermagem em contexto assistencial multidisciplinar na manutenção e promoção do autocuidado na área da atenção à saúde do idoso. Adotou-se aporte metodológico da Teoria Fundamentada nos Dados. Desenvolveu-se em duas etapas, no período de novembro de 2012 a dezembro de 2013, envolvendo dois cenários distintos: ambulatório de Geriatria e Gerontologia de um hospital público de ensino de Minas Gerais, no qual os participantes foram selecionados, e o ambiente domiciliar, após a seleção e contato prévio com os mesmos. Incluiu-se doze idosos residentes no município sede da pesquisa. Utilizou-se a visita domiciliar com observação participante, registro de notas em diário de campo, entrevista semiestruturada e, para a edição textual dos dados empíricos, o programa OpenLogos®, permitindo-se a codificação e interpretação. Emergiram trinta e cinco códigos que compuseram quatro categorias: “O autocuidado do idoso com doença crônica não transmissível em contexto domiciliar”, “Tornando-se conhecedor de si mesmo”, “Necessidades de educação terapêutica do idoso com doença crônica não transmissível” e “Apoio e suporte ao idoso com doença crônica não transmissível”. As categorias apontaram que à medida que o idoso desenvolve uma doença crônica, surge a necessidade de que aprenda a se autocuidar no âmbito terapêutico, em casa. Diante da vivência deste idoso na prática do seu autocuidado terapêutico, tornou-se evidente o conhecimento desse indivíduo no que permeia aspectos relativos à promoção da saúde e prevenção de agravos. Situações positivas e negativas vivenciadas apontaram para necessidades de educação terapêutica e busca por apoio e capacitação pelos idosos. Nessa dinâmica de movimento, tem-se que as orientações ao idoso quanto ao seu processo saúde e doença contribuem para a realização das ações de autocuidado desenvolvidas no domicílio. A atuação do enfermeiro através das práticas educativas, do planejamento de cuidados individualizados, com vistas ao apoio e educação, contribui para que o idoso se torne reflexivo e ativo no seu autocuidado terapêutico.
The object of research was the self-care of elderly who lives with chronic non-communicable diseases and require nursing care at home, focusing on the educative process in nursing and health under the theme of education and health promotion developed by nurses in the context of multidisciplinary health care to elderly people. This study aimed to comprehend how the educative and therapeutic self-care actions may contribute to the autonomy of elderly people with chronic non-communicable diseases, aiming to identify their knowledge about the disease, its treatments, care for health promotion and complications prevention; identify the needings of health education for self-care from the perspective of elderly people who lives with chronic non-communicable diseases; understand how the elderly applies knowledge of health promotion and complications prevention of chronic diseases resulting from educative practices; and discuss about the contribution of nursing care in a multidisciplinary context in maintenance and self-care promotion in the area of elderly health care. It was adopted the methodological approach of Grounded Theory, which was developed in two stages, from November 2012 to December 2013, involving two different scenarios: outpatient from Geriatrics and Gerontology of a public teaching hospital in Minas Gerais, in which participants were selected, the home environment after selection and prior contact with them. Twelve elderly residents in the county seat of research were included. It was used the home visit with participant observation, recording notes in a field journal, semistructured interview and the OpenLogos ® program for textual editing of empirical data, which allows the encoding and interpretation. Thirty five codes emerged which comprised four categories: "Self-care of elderly patients with chronic non-communicable disease in the family context", "Becoming knowledgeable of yourself", "Therapeutic Education needs of elderly patients with chronic non-communicable disease" and "Support and assistance to the elderly with chronic non-communicable disease". The categories indicated that as the elderly develops a chronic illness, the need arises to learn to take care of themselves in the therapeutic context, at home. Given the experience to the elderly in the practice of their therapeutic self-care, it became evident the knowledge of this individual in which permeates aspects related to health promotion and prevention of disease injuries. Positive and negative situations experienced pointed to the need of therapeutic education and search for support and training for the elderly. In this dynamic movement, the guidelines for the elderly about their health and disease process have contributed for the achievements of self-care actions developed at home. The work of nurses through educative practices, the planning of individualized care, with a view to the support and education, helps elderly to become reflective and active in their therapeutic self-care.

Abstract:
This research explores perceptions of knowledge management processes held by managers and employees in a service industry. To date, empirical research on knowledge management in the service industry is sparse. This research seeks to examine absorptive capacity its four absorptive capacity capabilities of acquisition, assimilation, transformation and exploitation and their impact on effective knowledge management. All of these capabilities are strategies that enable external knowledge to be recognised, imported and integrated into, and further developed within the organisation effectively.The research tests the relationships between absorptive capacity and effective knowledge management through analysis of quantitative data (n=549) drawn from managers and employees in 35 Residential Aged Care organisations in Western Australia. Responses were analysed using Partial Least Square-based Structural Equation Modelling. Additional analysis was conducted to assess if the job role (of manager or employee) and three industry context variables of profit motive, size of business and length of time the organisation has been in business, impacted on the hypothesised relationships.Structural model analysis examined the relationships between variables as hypothesised in the research framework. Analysis found that absorptive capacity and the four capabilities correlated significantly with effective knowledge management, with absorptive capacity explaining 56% of the total variability for effective xiv knowledge management. Findings from this research also show that absorptive capacity and the four capabilities provide a useful framework for examining knowledge management in the service industry. Additionally, there were no significant differences in the perceptions held between managers and employees, nor between respondents in for-profit and not-for-profit organisations. Furthermore, the size of the organisation and length of time the organisation has been in business did not impact on absorptive capacity, the four capabilities and effective knowledge management.The research considers implications for business in light of these findings. The role of managers in providing leadership across the knowledge management process was confirmed, as well as the importance of guiding routines and knowledge sharing throughout the organisation. Further, the results indicate that within the participating organisations there are discernable differences in the way that some organisations manage their knowledge, compared to others. To achieve effective knowledge management, managers need to provide a supportive workplace culture, facilitate strong employee relationships, encourage employees to seek out new knowledge, continually engage in two-way communication with employees and provide up to date policies and procedures that guide employees in doing their work. The implementation of knowledge management strategies have also been shown in this research to enhance the delivery and quality of residential aged care.

Abstract:
Diabetes care of the elderly in residential aged care facilities has often been unstructured and non-standardised, with disparities in both the practice and knowledge of health care workers caring for this vulnerable group. Poorly controlled diabetes can contribute to a range of adverse events, including impaired wound health and cardiovascular events. The purpose of this study was to establish if current Australian diabetes management guidelines for the elderly are being met in residential aged care facilities in Queensland and identify areas for clinical practice improvement.A cross-sectional, descriptive design was employed to measure demographic data, perceived and actual diabetes-related knowledge, availability of diabetes management and care guidelines, and facilitators and barriers to meeting diabetes related care. A sample of 109 health care workers from residential aged care facilities completed a postal survey.Diabetes guidelines shown to be available in residential aged care facilities were aimed at care planning, with guidelines for both screening and monitoring of diabetes and diabetes care specific skills more available in private aged care and high care classified facilities. Limited monitoring of outcomes of diabetes care were evident. Overall, participants perceived their diabetes knowledge as “good”, however deficits were found in the level of actual knowledge on diabetes complications and medication management. Ratings for perceived and actual diabetes knowledge was higher with older aged health care workers by those employed in their current position the longest.Furthermore, a positive relationship was shown between perceived and actual diabetes knowledge with years of experience in aged care, employment status (RNs/ENs, AINs and other health care workers) and education status (grade 12 schooling, Technology and Further Education and university award). Diabetes – related knowledge was shown to be the most significant facilitator as well as barrier to diabetes care provision. Factors affecting perceived level of confidence in providing diabetes self-management education included experience in aged care, employment position and level of education.The contribution of this research to the area of study was to provide important data on the availability of diabetes guidelines and protocols and diabetes knowledge base. Data has also been provided for the availability of diabetes guidelines and protocols in different facility types and with different classifications of care as well as data for the perceived level of confidence in providing diabetes care in residential aged care facilities. Study findings indicate a need for an increased focus on diabetes care in residential aged care to improve health outcomes.

Abstract:
Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
Aged care is a critical public policy issue in Australia. The growing significance of the sector raises important and pressing questions about many aspects of care itself, the size of the labour force and employment relations. Answering these questions is vital, with demand for labour in the sector already outstripping supply and with demand certain to grow substantially. The implications of this labour shortfall for the sector have already been the subject of a number of key government reports. Although these reports have begun to construct a more detailed picture of the issues facing aged care workers and employers, significant gaps remain, most notably any explicit examination of approaches to the management of labour or the importance of labour law in determining these approaches. Despite the obvious importance and critical social and economic significance of the ageing population, we do not sufficiently understand many of the critical labour market features, workplace characteristics or management strategies which are evident in the aged care sector. This study seeks to build knowledge of employment and labour management in this growing and crucial sector at a decisive moment in history. It deepens our understanding of these issues and processes through a study of three residential aged care providers in New South Wales during the period from 2005 to 2009. The thesis specifically examines employer strategy in relation to the management of labour in the three cases. Further, it investigates the impact of the regulatory environment on these approaches. In doing so, the case studies reveal the intricate web of internal and external, direct and indirect, formal and informal regulation which shapes the management of labour within the sector. The complexity of the regulatory web in aged care demands the use of an explanatory framework which recognises that labour-management approaches are influenced by constraints not traditionally associated with the direct, legal regulation of employment relations. Consequently, regulation theory is applied here as an organising framework and as an interpretive prism for the research. This allows for an explicit acknowledgment of the importance of non-legal, informal and indirect regulation ‘at work’ in this sector. The study finds that in the period under review labour law was not the primary determinant of labour-management approaches in aged care. The case studies presented here show that it was, in fact, a second order consideration for aged care providers struggling with what they saw as insufficient funding, onerous ‘paperwork’ and staff recruitment and retention difficulties – in short a range of other regulatory influences. This study also shows that, despite the constraints imposed by these other regulatory modes, employers remained free to exercise their prerogative within the workplace; this, in turn, is revealed as a form of internal regulation in aged care.

Abstract:
The economic behaviour, needs and preferences of people vary in the individual phases of their lives. The silver economy market is made up of consumers, employees or employers aged 50+. The share of this population is an important target group for entrepreneurs, brings a wide range of new products and services to businesses and has a significant role for the national economy as there is a change in the understanding of the ageing process from a threat towards economic opportunities. Although the ageing workforce and seniors in the Slovak Republic do not represent a strong demand for market goods yet, their economic potential may not be negligible. The rapid ageing of the Slovak population represents, among other things, an economic potential that can be exploited in favour of innovation and improvement. Despite not a high level of pensions, seniors have considerable purchasing power, which will generate an increasing demand for specific goods and services, which is an opportunity for the labour market. In this paper we try to describe selected areas in which the silver economy and the ageing population itself should be viewed as a challenge to new business opportunities. In particular, these include health service and health care, spa care, the pharmaceutical industry, tourism, the financial sector and, last but not least, construction industry. The silver economy will change the rules of market forces in existing sectors and create a wholly new industry at the intersection of demographic and technological changes with a high export potential.

Abstract:
INTRODUCTION: Headache is defined as a pain in the cephalic segment, and is the fourth cause of demand for emergency care. In Brazil, 98% of women and 95% of men will suffer some episode during their lives. It causes physical, social, labor, and economic damage, and is the third leading cause of years lived with disability. Thus, it is relevant to investigate hospital admissions for migraine and other cephalic pain syndromes. OBJECTIVES: To analyze hospital morbidity due to migraine and other cephalic pain syndromes in Brazil between 2015 and 2019. METHODS: Epidemiological, retrospective, descriptive study, carried out through the Hospital Information System (DATASUS). Variables: sex, ethnicity, age, hospital stay, costs and deaths. RESULTS: Registered 49,508 hospitalizations for migraine and other cephalic pain syndromes from 2015-2019; predominantly women (65.7%), between 20-39 years (37.3%), 40-59 years (29.4%), which occurred mainly in the Southeast (33.1%) and South (23.6%) regions. The average cost per hospitalization was R$ 421.50. The mean hospital stay was 3.9 days, ranging from 3.1 days in the South to 4.8 days in the Northeast, with no differences between genders. There were 384 deaths, of which 56.3% were women. CONCLUSION: The morbidity profile due to cephalic pain syndromes is composed of women, aged 20-39 years, living in the Southeast region. It is important to intensify investments in prevention, diagnosis and treatment, seeking to reduce hospitalizations, the impact on the health system and to improve the patient’s quality of life.

Abstract:
Background: Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the fear of getting infected has caused case underreporting and reduced demand for medical care in urgent cases, which includes strokes - a major cause of death and hospitalization in Brazil. Objective: Analyze the sociodemographic profile and the number of emergency hospitalizations for stroke from 2016 to 2020, the latter being the year in which the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic began. Methods: This is an ecological study based on the database (DATASUS), published by the Ministry of Health (Brazil) and extracted from the Hospital Information System of the Unified Health System (SIH/SUS). It refers to hospitalizations for strokes, from 2016-2019, compared to the year 2020, in Brazil. We also analyzed the most prevalent group by sex and age group. Results: 140.064 hospitalizations for stroke were registered in the year 2020. O the other hand, 160.816 occurred in 2019; 154.744 – 2018; 151.129 – 2017 and 145.944 in 2016. This demonstrates a typical pattern of hospitalizations with a tendency to rise, when compared from 2016 to 2019, dropping in 2020. Among the hospitalizations registered in 2020, 102.018 (72.84%) occurred in individuals over 60 years of age and 73.855 (52.73%) occurred in males. The same pattern was registered in previous years. Conclusion: Thus, more studies need to be carried out to prove whether the decrease in hospitalizations was in fact due to a reduction in the demand for medical care, case underreporting or a real drop in the number of strokes.

The article reveals demographic and migration problems after the COVID-19 pandemic. The experience of other countries in this area is studied. Nowadays, many countries are discussing the growing number of people of retirement age, the rapid ageing of the population. However, in order to correctly assess the problem of ageing, it is necessary to take into account the number of children and people of working age. The increasing burden on pension funds will be combined with the growing demand of the population for expensive medical care.

Keane, Claire, Sean Lyons, Mark Regan, and Brendan Walsh. HOME SUPPORT SERVICES IN IRELAND: EXCHEQUER AND DISTRIBUTIONAL IMPACTS OF FUNDING OPTIONS. ESRI, February 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.26504/sustat111.

Full text
Abstract:
A new statutory scheme for the provision of home support services is currently being developed by the Department of Health. Research has shown that access to home support services varies across the country. The new scheme aims to tackle this issue to ensure equitable access to home support services nationwide and is part of wider reform of Ireland’s health and social care systems as envisaged in the Sláintecare report and Department of Health action plans. Publicly funded home support services in Ireland are currently provided free of charge for recipients, unlike long-term residential or nursing home care, which involves a contribution from residents. In 2019, the HSE’s Older Persons’ Services provided care to 53,000 people at a cost of €440 million. It is anticipated that demand for home support services may increase under the new scheme, for example if unmet demand is met or if the new scheme results in more people being able to remain in their own home, substituting away from long-term residential care. Any increased demand would result in an increased cost, which may also rise as the population ages. This report examines the possible introduction of co-payments for home support services. We focus on the likely Exchequer impact of a range of different funding scenarios along with the distributional, poverty and inequality impacts of such charges. Due to data limitations, and the fact that the majority of home support services are provided to older age groups, we focus on those aged 65 years and over. Regarding co-payments we examine the impact of flat-rate charges for users, regardless of means, as well as co-payments for home support recipients above a variety of income levels. The tapering of payments is also examined to ensure that individuals just over a specific income threshold would see co-payments gradually increasing as their income rises. We also consider the capping of co-payments so that those needing a high number of home support hours would not potentially face very high costs.

Full text
Abstract:
Rapid population aging will drive a strong increase in the demand for long-term care services in Latin America and the Caribbean. To inform policy making, in this study we present novel estimates of the number of care dependent older persons in 26 countries of the region. For ten of these countries, estimates are based on existing survey data. For the remaining 16 countries, we use a statistical model to predict the prevalence of care dependence based on the relationship between this condition and age, sex and health status. We also forecast the number of care dependent older persons in the years 2035 and 2050. On average, we find that 14% of the over-65 population is care dependent in 2020, and this average prevalence is predicted to grow to 16% in 2050. Driven mostly by the increase in the size of the older population in the region, the number of care dependent older persons is expected to grow by a factor of three over the same period, from 8 million in 2020 to 23 million in 2050.

Full text
Abstract:
The Nordic welfare sector is facing significant challenges when it comes to providing effective social care services. While the demand for services for a rapidly growing elderly population is constantly increasing, the workforce delivering social care services is shrinking, with many workers reaching retirement age. Tackling the challenges related to recruitment and retention of qualified staff – and developing innovative approaches to the delivery of social care services – is becoming increasingly urgent, particularly in rural and sparsely populated areas (SPAs). This policy brief gives an overview of examples across the Nordic Region aimed at tackling these resource challenges and exploring innovative ways of organising and delivering social care services in rural areas and SPAs. It is based on a desk study funded by the Nordic Welfare Centre (see more about this on the last page).

Abstract:
Data from the National Health Interview Survey • In 2019, 65.5% of adults aged 18−64 had a dental visit in the past 12 months. • The percentage of adults who had a dental visit was higher among those residing in urban areas (66.7%) than those in rural areas (57.6%). • In both urban and rural areas, women were more likely than men to have had a dental visit in the past 12 months. • In urban areas, non-Hispanic white adults (70.2%) were more likely than Hispanic (59.4%) and non-Hispanic black (61.8%) adults to have • a dental visit. In rural areas, non-Hispanic white adults (59.1%) were more likely than Hispanic adults (45.7%) to have a dental visit. • The percentage of adults who had a dental visit increased as family income, as a percentage of the federal poverty level, increased in both urban and rural areas.
