Abstract:

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. A trans-theoretical model (TTM) that emphasizes intentional behavior change guided the project. A convenience sample of five females and five males ( n = 10) between 65 to 82 years of age who had been diagnosed with uncontrolled T2DM participated in the project. Interviews were conducted via focus groups and were audiotaped and analyzed using the Krueger and Casey method to extract themes. The emergent themes of the project were the standard of care for diabetes, diabetes care support, access to services and resources, diabetes knowledge and self-management, the educational intervention of diabetes, and cultural beliefs. There were marked differences in pre-mean finger sticks values of the participants when compared to post-intervention finger stick values; mean finger stick values began at 244.55 and decreased to 129.85. The efficacy of the exercises and diet were based on the difference in Finger stick values. A paired t-test showed a significant decrease in finger stick values, indicating finger stick improvement, and a reduction in baseline finger stick values after diabetes education intervention (t = 14.76; p < 0.05). Thus, diet and exercises decreased finger stick levels in Haitian patients with uncontrolled T2DM. There is limited transferability of the project due to small sample size.

Abstract:

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 for the aforementioned hypotheses. The analysis determined the primary payer sources for elderly women in nursing homes were self-pay and Medicaid. Marital status did not have an impact on the payer sources for single, elderly women in nursing homes when compared to married women.

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. The subjects were interviewed, all the interviews were recorded and transcribed verbatim. Categories, subcategories and codes were created using qualitative content analysis. Two categories and six subcategories were established based on qualitative content analysis. The two categories revealed opposing attitudes, the first promoted oral care and the second disfavored oral health. The oral care promoted factors included general satisfaction with the elderly’s’ present oral status, positive experiences associated with oral care and strong desire to maintain their own oral hygiene. The most notable negative factors for good oral health was the lack of thorough oral examinations and individually adapted assistance with daily oral hygiene. The informants took oral hygiene as a part of their integrity and expressed wishes to be independent. In general, the informants held positive attitudes toward their current oral status and understood that proper oral care is a prerequisite to good oral health. However, it should be noted that assistance with oral hygiene is not practiced in either of the two nursing homes on a regular basis. This may be attributed to staff shortages and the residents desire to maintain their independence.

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 pharmacovigilance from a nursing perspective, focusing on implications of RNs’ competence and use of a computerized decision support system (CDSS). Both quantitative and qualitative research methods were used, including a questionnaire (I), focus group discussions (II), individual interviews (III) and an intervention study (IV). In total 216 RNs and 54 older persons participated from 13 special accommodations, located in three different regions. RNs who had completed further training in pharmacovigilance rated their medication competence higher than those who had not. However, there was no difference between groups in the number of pharmacovigilant activities they performed in clinical practice (I). The RNs appeared to act as “vigilant intermediaries” in drug treatment. They depended on the nursing staff's observations of drug-related problems. The RNs continuously controlled the work of staff and physicians, and attempted to compensate for shortcomings in competence, accessibility and continuity (II). RNs’ use of a CDSS was found to affect drug monitoring, including aspects of time, responsibility, standardization of the work, as well as access to knowledge and opportunities for evidence-based care (III). The CDSS detected significantly more drug-related problems when conducting medication reviews, than the RNs did. Nevertheless, this did not result in any significant improvement in the quality of drug use in the follow up, three and six months later (IV). This thesis contributes to the recognition of pharmacovigilance from a nursing perspective. Increased medication competence seems to be insufficient to generate pharmacovigilant activities. RNs depend on other health care professionals and organizational conditions in order to perform their work. A CDSS has the potential to support RNs, both in structured medication reviews and in daily clinical practice. Inter-professional collaboration is crucial, with or without a CDSS, and the entire team needs to be aware of and take responsibility. Other important conditions is the existence of well-functioning communication channels, competence across the team, and established procedures based on current guidelines.

Abstract:
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 revealed that mortality increased with age, from 14% for 60 years olds to 73% for those in their nineties. Age was the only variable found to be statistically significant between those who lived or died. The study's findings demonstrated the need for nursing assessment and surveillance of relocated nursing home residents.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to describe the characteristics of falls and risk factors for falls in elderly male veterans residing in a Veterans Affairs nursing home care unit. Risk factors included cognitive status, mobility status, and restraint use. Relationships between risk factors and falls were investigated using a two-phase descriptive correlational design. Nursing and medical records of residents who fell were reviewed retrospectively, and assessment of cognitive status was done using the Mini-mental Status Exam. The convenience sample included 20 male veterans, age 65 and older, who had at least one documented fall from the year of January 1991 through December, 1991. Results were not statistically significant; however, trends in the data were identified. Findings were clinically significant and validated literature on risk factors for falling.

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 statistics were performed between subjects' participation and their degree of depression, pain experience, functional status, presence of social support, and perception of benefits. Results show a negative correlation between frequency of participation and Geriatric Depression Scale score (GDS). The wide range of measured frequencies among low GDS-scored subjects suggests that less depressed individuals exercise more freedom of choice to participate than those who are more depressed. Significant finding show a positive correlation of group activity participation with functional status in terms of ambulation. Data shows that the experience of pain was not a significant deterrent to participation. The presence of social support from the staff and family did not increase participation. However there is a lesser GDS score among subjects who had recent family/friends visit suggesting a positive role of family in decreasing depression. These results are significant not only for optimizing group therapeutic effects but also for understanding basic human and environmental correlates of depression. Study limitations are pointed out and recommendations are presented.

Abstract:
Review question / Objective: This scoping review will use the following question: What is the concept of self-care for oral hygiene in adults and elderly individuals in nursing care settings? Subsequent questions will be used in order to achieve better results, as follows: What does the demand for self-care for oral hygiene require? What is self-care for oral hygiene? What results stem from the self-care deficit for oral hygiene? The objective of this scoping review is to map the evidence available in the field of nursing on the antecedents, attributes and consequences of self-care for oral hygiene in adults and elderly individuals. Information sources: Medline/Pubmed, CINAHL, Scopus, Web of Science, LILACS and IBECS will be used. As gray literature, the CAPES Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations and the OpenGrey platform will be evaluated.

Abstract:
Background/Purpose: Post-operative delirium leads to significant morbidity in elderly patients, yet there is no regimen to prevent POD. Opioid use in the elderly surgical population is of the most significant risk factors for developing POD. The purpose of this scoping review is to recognize that Dexmedetomidine mitigates cognitive dysfunction secondary to acute pain and the use of narcotic analgesia by decreasing the amount of norepinephrine (an excitatory neurotransmitter) released during times of stress. This mechanism of action also provides analgesia through decreased perception and modulation of pain. Methods: The authors developed eligibility criteria for inclusion of articles and performed a systematic search of several databases. Each of the authors initially selected five articles for inclusion in the scoping review. We created annotated literature tables for easy screening by co-authors. After reviewing the annotated literature table four articles were excluded, leaving 11 articles for inclusion in the scoping review. There were six level I meta-analysis/systematic reviews, four level II randomized clinical trials, and one level IV qualitative research article. Next, we created a data-charting form on Microsoft Word for extraction of data items and synthesis of results. Results: Two of the studies found no significant difference in POD between dexmedetomidine groups and control groups. The nine remaining studies noted decreases in the rate, duration, and risk of POD in the groups receiving dexmedetomidine either intraoperatively or postoperatively. Multiple studies found secondary benefits in addition to decreased POD, such as a reduction of tachycardia, hypertension, stroke, hypoxemia, and narcotic use. One study, however, found that the incidence of hypotension and bradycardia were increased among the elderly population. Implications for Nursing Practice: Surgery is a tremendous stressor in any age group, but especially the elderly population. It has been shown postoperative delirium occurs in 17-61% of major surgery procedures with 30-40% of the cases assumed to be preventable. Opioid administration in the elderly surgical population is one of the most significant risk factors for developing POD. With anesthesia practice already leaning towards opioid-free and opioid-limited anesthetic, the incorporation of dexmedetomidine could prove to be a valuable resource in both reducing opioid use and POD in the elderly surgical population. Although more research is needed, the current evidence is promising.

Abstract:
Evaluating the relationship between health at old age and income is crucial for the design of equitable public policies targeted toward the elderly. Using 2016 Canadian survey data on adults aged between 50 and 70, we estimate the relationships between individual income, longevity and dependency at the old age. We use both subjective and objective measures of the probability to survive to age 85, of the probability to have activities of daily living (ADL) limitations, and of the probability of entering a nursing home. We find that income and the (objective and subjective) probability to live to age 85 and over are positively related while income and the (objective and subjective) probability to suffer from ADL limitations are negatively related. We also find that while the objective probability to enter a nursing home is negatively correlated with income, the subjective probability is positively correlated with income. Most of our results are driven by individuals in the highest tercile of the income distribution. Our results are robust to different sensitivity checks.
