Abstract:

Occupational therapy departments of tertiary care hospitals can provide staff with opportunities to gain diverse clinical experience if they rotate through the various services such as surgery, medicine, geriatrics, plastic surgery and orthopedics. The system of rotation offers both advantages and disadvantages for the staff and the institution. The Royal Victoria Hospital in Montreal, a large university teaching hospital, had traditionally offered staff the opportunity to rotate. Changes in staffing and their needs however, resulted in rotation becoming an important issue within the department. This article presents the pros and the cons of rotation and non-rotation systems as identified by therapists and administrators across Canada. Staff rotation was found to have an effect on job satisfaction and a therapist's career orientation. Given these findings, administrators may want to reconsider the role of the generalist and specialist in their facilities.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTBackground:There is limited information describing memory clinics at a national level in Australia. The aim of this study was to gather information about the resourcing, practices and clinical diagnoses of Australian memory clinics.Methods:A postal survey was sent to all Australian memory clinics identified by key specialists working in dementia assessment services.Results:Of 23 surveys sent out, 14 were returned. Most clinics are located in Victoria where they receive Victorian state funding. The average clinic has 1.67 effective full time clinical staff including 0.42 medical staff, 0.24 allied health staff, 0.53 clinical nursing staff and 0.48 psychologists. Clinics are open on average twice a week and each half-day clinic has two new and three review patients, seeing new patients twice initially then once more over 12 months. Patients wait 10 weeks for initial assessment with 59% referred by general practitioners. The Mini-mental State Examination and clock drawing are utilized universally. The most common diagnoses are Alzheimer's disease (37.8%) and mild cognitive impairment (19.8%) but 6.9% of patients have no cognitive impairment.Conclusions:This survey has provided useful benchmarking data on Australian memory clinics which can also be used by other countries for comparative analyses.

Abstract:

Older people living in the community use complementary medicine (CM) to manage the symptoms of chronic illness; however, little is known about CM use by older people living in care settings. Using focus groups and individual interviews, this study explored the use of CM from the perspective of 71 residents, families, and health professionals from six residential aged-care facilities in Victoria, Australia. Residents used CM to manage pain and improve mobility, often covertly, and only with the financial assistance of their families. Facility policies and funding restrictions constrained CM use at the individual and facility level. An absence of evidence to support safety and efficacy coupled with the risk of interactions made doctors wary of CM use in older people. These findings have relevance for the large number of CM using “baby-boomers” as they move into residential aged-care.

Abstract:

Background: In order to achieve the target of having a healthy mother and healthy baby there is a need to identify pregnant woman with high risk factors.Ante natal foetal monitoring is aimed at identifying foetus that are at high risk of suffering from intrauterine hypoxia. Aims and Objectives: To evaluate the role of modified biophysical profile in predicting perinatal outcome in high risk pregnant women Material and methods: This is a hospital based observational study in the department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology , Victoria Government Hospital , Visakhapatnam, from January 2022 to May 2022.A total of 96 high risk pregnant women were included in this study. Inclusion criteria was Singleton pregnancy ,risk factors like[pre eclampsia,gestational hypertension,diabetes mellitus,anemia,past dates,post cesarian section.breech,bad obstetric history and pre term,Exclusion criteria was multifetal gestation,intrauterine death,fetal anomalies. Detailed history was taken and relavent investigations were sent. Results: 16.9% of cases had meconium stained liquor (normal CTG and AFI), 36% with meconium stained liquor had normal AFI but abnormal CTG, 40% with meconium stained liquor had abnormal AFI but normal CTG, 50% with meconium stained liquor had abnormal AFI and abnormal CTG 0% of babies had perinatal death when AFI and CTG was normal, 100% of babies had perinatal death when AFI and CTG was abnormal Conclusion: Modified bio physical profile is a easy ,time saving and cost effective procedure and can used as a test of antepartum fetal surveillance in order to predict perinatal outcome in high risk pregnancy.

Abstract:

Australian National standards recommend routine screening for all adults over 65 years by health organisations that provide care for patients with cognitive impairment. Despite this, screening rates are low and, when implemented, screening is often not done well. This qualitative pilot study investigates barriers and facilitators to cognitive screening for older people in rural and regional Victoria, Australia. Focus groups and interviews were undertaken with staff across two health services. Data were analysed via thematic analysis and contextualized within the i-PARIHS framework. Key facilitators of screening included legislation, staff buy-in, clinical experience, appropriate training, and interorganisational relationships. Collaborative implementation processes, time, and workloads were considerations in a recently accredited tertiary care setting. Lack of specialist services, familiarity with patients, and infrastructural issues may be barriers exacerbated in rural settings. In lieu of rural specialist services, interorganisational relationships should be leveraged to facilitate referring ‘outwards’ rather than ‘upwards’.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTA sample of 334 people aged 56 and over living in the Capital Regional District of B. C. (Greater Victoria) were interviewed about their supportive social network. Four social supportive roles were investigated: caretaker, helper, confidant, and advisor.Most of the sample had network members to fulfil these roles, however, in the lives of about one-fifth of the respondents, support in one or more of these areas was not available. Although most of the respondents in excellent or good health felt no need for more people in certain supportive roles, more people with fair or poor health expressed a need for more people in their supportive networks.This research supports earlier findings about the vulnerability of women who are widowed and over 74 years old. They are the group most in need of socially supportive networks.

Abstract:

Recent research has documented associations between subjective health ratings and objective indicators of disease and death. Less is known about relations between subjective health ratings and level of cognitive performance in older adults. In this study, we explored whether subjective health ratings are related to episodic memory performance, both concurrently and across a three-year longitudinal interval. Persons aged 75–84 years, and participating in the Swedish Kungsholmen Project ( n = 105) or the Canadian Victoria Longitudinal Study ( n = 71), were examined. Results showed that in both samples, while the cross-sectional relationship was non-significant, longitudinal change in perceptions of subjective health were related to change in episodic memory performance. Next, the two samples were combined in additional analyses. Here, results further revealed that the associations between longitudinal change in subjective health and memory performance generalized across samples independently of demographic, changing physical health status, and subjective memory decline differences. Thus, the present findings suggest that subjective health may be added to the growing number of individual-difference variables that are predictive of episodic memory change in very old age.

Abstract:

Abstract The Geriatric Oncology Regional Victorian Trials Alliance, Linkages, Special populations, Equity program (GO ReViTALISE) is part of a five-year state-wide grant to increase access to cancer clinical trials in regional Victoria, Australia. The initiative covers engagement with key stakeholders and trial sites, co-design of research programs with consumers, implementation of multiple interventional and non-interventional research, and capacity building. Employing a framework prospectively is critical to guide and scaffold implementation of complex interventions and capture the process of how several activities interact. Likewise, there is a need to show research impact beyond successful implementation and clinical outcomes. Using the GO ReViTALISE as a case study, we will demonstrate how an implementation framework and the Framework to Assess the Impact from Translational health research can deliver a cohesive, impactful and measurable program of research to increase older adults’ participation in cancer clinical trials, trials availability and build capacity in regional cancer sites.

Abstract:

This study aimed to determine whether associations between the perceived environment and physical activity are moderated by urban-rural status among midolder aged adults. Environmental (safety, aesthetics, physical activity environment) and physical activity (total, leisure, transport) data from 3,888 adults (55 to 65 years) from urban and rural areas of Victoria, Australia, were analyzed. Multinomial logistic regression examined interactions between urban-rural status and environments in associations with physical activity. Significant (P < .05) interactions were evident and indicated positive associations only among older rural adults for both safety and aesthetics with total and transport physical activity (e.g., rural adults reporting higher safety were 91% to 118% more likely to have higher activity than rural adults reporting low safety). In contrast, the physical activity environment was positively associated with leisure activity among only urban adults. Findings suggest that some tailoring of physical activity promotion strategies targeting the environment may be required for urban and rural midolder aged adults.

Abstract:

This paper examines whether involvement in an observational study may prompt participants to change their exercise behaviors. Data were collected from 394 older community dwellers in Victoria, Australia using a baseline survey, and 245 of these participated in a follow-up survey one year later. Survey domains were drawn from constructs of relevant health behavior models. Results showed that the proportion of respondents who were currently participating in exercises to prevent falls at follow-up was 12% higher than at baseline (Wilcoxon p value < .001). Twenty-nine percent reported they had changed their perceptions about falls and their risk of falls, with comments focused on threat appraisal. Forty-four percent reported having taken strategies to reduce their risk of falling, with comments based on implementation of different preventive strategies. Respondents who held favorable views toward exercises for the prevention of falls appear to change their behaviors that might address falls when participating in observational studies.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTA group of Canadian senior citizens (n = 22) who bicycled 7700 km across Canada, from Victoria, B.C. to St. Johns, Newfoundland, over 100 days in the summer of 1983 were the subjects of this study. Each was tested on three occasions: 2 days prior to commencement of the tour, at the geographical mid-point of the tour and within 2 days of tour completion. Comprehensive anthropometric data were collected along with evaluation of fitness and blood chemistry on all three testing occasions. Participants were also asked a series of questions designed to ascertain positive and negative psycho-social experiences and to assess their anxiety level. Generally the cyclists reated well to the tour, exhibiting objective evidence of increased fitness in the absence of negative physical or psychological changes. Self-report data indicated that subjects generally enjoyed the tour, felt their endurance had increased, and perceived other improvements such as increased self-confidence, reduced anxiety, and improved appetite.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTBackground: Health services are encouraged to adopt a strong person-centered approach to the provision of care and services for older people. The aim of this project was to establish a user-friendly, psychometrically valid, and reliable measure of healthcare staff's practice, attitudes, and beliefs regarding person-centered healthcare.Methods: Item reduction (factor analysis) of a previously developed “benchmarking person-centred care” survey, followed by psychometric evaluations of the internal consistency reliability and construct validity, was conducted. The initial survey was completed by 1,428 healthcare staff from 17 health services across Victoria, Australia.Results: After removing 17 items from the previously developed “benchmarking person-centred care” survey, the revised 31-item survey (Person-Centred Health Care for Older Adults Survey) attained eight factors that explain 62.7% of the total variance with a Cronbach's α coefficient of 0.91, indicating excellent internal consistency. Expert consultation confirmed that the revised survey had content validity.Conclusions: The results indicated that the Person-Centred Health Care for Older Adults Survey is a user-friendly, psychometrically valid, and reliable measure of staff perceptions of person-centered healthcare for use in hospital settings.

Abstract:

Abstract Background and Objectives Without an effective screening tool, accompanied by clear guidelines of what to do when elder abuse is suspected, health workers may face challenges when asking questions about elder abuse. This study aimed to find the most effective and acceptable existing elder abuse screening tool and to create guidelines for using the tool. Research Design and Methods A rapid review of the literature identified existing validated elder abuse screening tools. Then, 5 tools (Vulnerability to Abuse Screening Scale [VASS], Elder Abuse Suspicion Index [EASI], Elder Assessment Instrument [EAI], Caregiver Abuse Screen [CASE], and Brief Abuse Screen for the Elderly [BASE]), selected based on their internal rigor, were presented to health professionals to assess the tools’ relevance to their practice. Three focus groups were held with 23 health professionals in Victoria, Australia, in 2017. Data were thematically analyzed. Results None of the tools were deemed suitable by participants for use in their practice. Criticisms of the tools included: using outdated terminology, asking binary questions, asking multiple questions at once, failure to consider the older person’s cognitive status, failure to consider how culture mediates elder abuse, and failure to outline a referral pathway to those administering the tool. Participants emphasized that the screening tool must promote trust and rapport between the assessor and the older person to solicit a story on this sensitive subject. Discussion and Implications A successful elder abuse screening tool must be concise, easy to use, account for the older person’s health and social vulnerabilities, and outline a referral pathway if elder abuse is suspected.

RÉSUMÉCette étude qualitative explore les expériences vécues par des personnes âgées participant dans un programme d’arts visuels créatifs dans un établissement de soins de Victoria (Colombie-Britannique). Une approche par enquête narrative a été utilisée dans le cadre d’entretiens en personne menés avec dix résidents et trois membres du personnel du programme. Les activités du programme et l’exposition artistique qui y était associée ont aussi fait l’objet d’une observation systématique. Les résultats démontrent que le programme a stimulé le sentiment de communauté des participants et augmenté leur estime d’eux-mêmes, en tant qu’artistes. Une exposition artistique publique dans un centre communautaire a permis de souligner la valeur de leur production artistique et a conféré un sens et un but à leur implication dans le programme. Les résultats démontrent l’importance des programmes artistiques stimulant la créativité chez la population âgée. Ils illustrent aussi que les personnes vivant en institution peuvent prendre conscience des multiples dimensions de leur personnalité à travers l’expression artistique. Cette étude souligne la pertinence d’accroître l’accès à des programmes artistiques pour les individus vivant en établissements de soins.

Abstract:

RÉSUMÉLes auteurs passent en revue les progrès les plus novateurs en soins de longue durée au Canada dans le livre Forgotten Revolution. À partir d'entrevues et de documents historiques, les auteurs racontent comment Vera McIver, avec le soutien de l'administration et du personnel, a élaboré un modèle en soins de rétablissement. Ce modèle, qui se veut une réflexion sur l'art et la science nécessaires pour fournir des soins aux personnes âgées, révèle comment un milieu vraiment thérapeutique peut favoriser chez une personne la capacité à avoir une vie intéressante, même en vivant en établissement de soins prolongés. Les résidents ont appris à devenir plus actifs, à s'engager et à jouer un rôle plus important dans l'ensemble de la collectivité.

RÉSUMÉEn se fondant sur les données d'un échantillonnage aléatoire de personnes âgées d'origine chinoise nées à l'étranger (n = 708), interrogées à Vancouver et à Victoria en 1995–96, cet article examine l'importance, les facteurs déterminants et les conséquences de l'identification ethnique. Parmi les répondants dont la médiane d'âge est de 75 ans et qui avait une médiane d'âge de 55 ans lorsqu'ils ont immigré, 49,3 pour cent ont déclaré qu'ils se sentent plus canadiens que chinois, 36,6 pour cent se sentent plus chinois et 14,1 pour cent se sentent autant chinois que canadiens. L'analyse de régression logistique tente de découvrir les facteurs déterminants de l'identité ethnique chinoise. Les variables indépendantes significatives incluent le Heu de résidence, l'âge, le nombre d'années depuis l'immigration, la capacité de parler anglais et le revenu personnel mensuel. Les conséquences de la conservation de l'identité ethnique chinoise sont examinées, selon l'appartenance religieuse, les comportements liés à la santé, les variables familiales et celles liées au bien-être. La conservation de l'identité chinoise a des effets seulement sur le bien-être; ce sont des effets négatifs grandement ressentis uniquement par les femmes.

Abstract:

RésuméL'étude qualitative sur l'efficacité des pratiques de service social menée par Anne Opie auprès des soignants naturels qui s'occupent de parents atteints de démence prend sa source dans la perception de l'auteure selon laquelle la rhétorique politique sur l'importance du soutien que l'État doit accorder à ces populations à haute incidence de stress trouve peu d'applications pratiques dans l'organisation des services sociaux et sanitaires en Nouvelle-Zélande. Opie relève deux discours opposés dans l'expérience des soignants et des travailleurs sociaux en matière de services de soutien. Le premier est un discours de gestion/organisation axé sur l'efficacité, des définitions étriquées des besoins et du bien-être, des images réductrices de la signification du soutien et des pratiques de travail social de plus en plus orientées sur la routine. Le second, relativement effacé, est un discours qui met en lumière l'aspect complexe de la tâche des soignants, ses transitions et sespertes, ainsi que la valeur d'un service substantial et efficace, intégrant une aide à la fois pratique et émotive accordée sur une base continue. Àpartir de données provenant des soignants, des travailleurs sociaux, d'autres intervenants du secteur de la santé et de gestionnaires, l'auteure étudie l'axe et l'importance des différentes approches d'évaluation des services sous-jacentes à ces deux discours. Que ce soit à titre de praticiens, de chercheurs, d'activistes ou d'éducateurs, nous avons tous beaucoup à apprendre de l'analyse nuancée faite par Opie d'un territoire semblable à celui du Canada et qui a évolué plus loin etplus rapidement vers une limitation des droits des soignants et des aînés vulnérables dont Us prennent soin, et vers une définition de plus en plus restrictive des activités formelles de soutien et de soin.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTBackground: In the next decades of the twenty-first century, the global aging of populations will challenge every nation's ability to provide leadership by qualified health professionals to reshape and improve health care delivery systems. The challenge for educators is to design and deliver courses that will give students the knowledge and skills they need to fill that leadership role confidently in dementia care services. This paper explores the ways in which a curriculum can develop graduates who are ready to become leaders in shaping their industry.Method: The Master of Health Science – Aged Services (MHSAS) program at Victoria University, Melbourne, Australia is applied as a case study to describe the process by which the concept of leadership is applied as the key driver in curriculum development, teaching practices and learning outcomes.Results: Evaluation instruments employed in a variety of purposes including teaching, curriculum planning and unit appraisal are discussed. Challenges for the future are proposed including the need for postgraduate programs in dementia to seek stronger national and international benchmarks and associations with other educational institutions to promote leadership and a vision of what is possible and desirable in dementia care provision.Conclusions: In the twenty-first century, effective service provision in the aged health care sector will require postgraduate curricula that equip students for dementia care leadership. The MHSAS program provides an established template for such curricula.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTObjectives:One-on-one structured Montessori-based activities conducted with people with dementia can improve agitation and enhance engagement. These activities may however not always be implemented by nursing home staff. Family members may present an untapped resource for enabling these activities. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of the Montessori activities implemented by family members on visitation experiences with people who have dementia.Design:Cluster-randomized crossover design.Setting:General and psychogeriatric nursing homes in the state of Victoria, Australia.Participants:Forty participants (20 residents and 20 carers) were recruited.Intervention:During visits, family members interacted with their relative either through engaging in Montessori-based activities or reading a newspaper (the control condition) for four 30-minute sessions over 2 weeks.Measurements:Residents’ predominant affect and engagement were rated for each 30-second interval using the Philadelphia Geriatric Center Affect Rating Scale and the Menorah Park Engagement Scale. The Pearlin Mastery Scale was used to rate carers satisfaction with visits. The 15-item Mutuality Scale measured the carers quality of their relationship with the resident. Carers’ mood and overall quality of life were measured using the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale and Carer-QoL questionnaires, respectively.Results:Linear regressions within the generalized estimating equations approach assessed residents’ and carers’ outcomes. Relative to the control condition, the Montessori condition resulted in more positive engagement (b = 13.0, 95%CI 6.3–19.7, p < 0.001) and affect (b = 0.4, 95%CI 0.2–0.6, p < 0.001) for the residents and higher satisfaction with visits for carers (b = 1.7, 95%CI 0.45–3.00, p = 0.008). No correction was applied to p-values for multiple comparisons.Conclusion:This study strengthens the evidence base for the use of the Montessori programs in increasing well-being in nursing home residents. The findings also provide evidence that family members are an additional valuable resource in implementing structured activities such as the Montessori program with residents.

Abstract:

RÉSUMÉLa plupart des recherches sur les grands-parents ont utilisé une perspective micro-sociale, de type interactif et basée sur la notion de rôle. Comme complément à ce corps de recherche, cet article examine les aspects quantitatifs de la transition vers l'état de grand-mère, dans la perspective du cycle de vie. L'analyse est fondée sur des données rassemblées à partir d'un échantillonnage de 666 femmes, choisies au hasard et nées entre 1905 et 1920. L'enquête téléphonique a été réalisée en 1987–88, à Vancouver et à Victoria. Les résultats démontrent que les variables majeures associées à cette transition vers l'état de grand-mère sont le nombre d'enfants et le niveau d'éducation. Les variations concernant l'âge auquel ces femmes sont devenues grands-mères pour la première fois s'expliquent par l'âge au moment de la première naissance et aussi par une variable relative à l'histoire de vie au travail. La temporalité sociale joue un rôle, mais varie selon le statut de « grand-maternité ”. Les variations dans les préférences relatives au meilleur moment pour devenir grand-parent sont associées à l'âge où les femmes ont expérimenté l'état de grand-mère. Les résultats sont discutés à la lumière de ce qui est généralement admis selon la perspective du cycle de vie et des pistes concernant des recherches à venir sont explorées.
