Background and Purpose: Our previous study of 265 stroke survivors recruited immediately before discharge from two regional rehabilitation hospitals found state self-esteem, social support satisfaction, discharge location (home, residential care facility), and gender significantly accounted for 49% of the variance in depressive symptoms. The purpose of this study is to explore the challenges of promoting participation in life activities for stroke survivors. Methods: A qualitative study with individual face-to-face semi-structured interviews were conducted. Adult managerial persons who were responsible for the development of community, rehabilitation or residential care services for stroke survivors were recruited. All participants were asked to share the mission of their institutions, types of care services for stroke survivors, perceived importance of, barriers to and facilitators of promoting participation in life activities, and opportunities for enhancing stroke care services. All interviews were audio recorded and transcribed verbatim for thematic analysis. Results: A total of 11 participants were interviewed. Five were in-charge persons of stroke support groups, two were legislators, two from residential care facilities, and two from community-based organisations. Four key themes were generated: (1) Being institutionalized was found associated with lower levels of psychosocial health, (2) Stroke survivors’ physical and cognitive limitations were perceived as key challenges in promoting participation in life activities, (3) Healthcare providers placed more emphasis on promoting physical rehabilitation than social participation, and (4) Physical environment particularly in residential care facilities posed greater challenges to promoting participation in real life activities. Conclusions: This highlights major challenges for healthcare professionals who care for stroke survivors in residential care facilities. Further studies that investigate the associations between environmental barriers, psychological morbidity and participation restriction is needed.

Adequate Staffing

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: Participation in cultural processes of education within the context of daycare facility for children and residential care home for the elderly – Music at the Macro- Meso- Micro-Link It seems that there are underlying problems within the context of daycare facility for children and residential care home for the elderly. A lack of social appreciation for caring professions in Germany is one underlying problem of this context. This article examines the options of cultural processes of education using the example of music, whereas the categories of age and job are two important items of this qualitative study. A trigonometrical survey was conducted using different methods of collecting data. The promotion of inter-generational work as well as the horizontal mobility at the level of the systems of education and nursing (Macro), daycare facility for children and residential care home for the elderly (Meso) and old and young (Micro) is constituted as the most important finding of the scientific discourse which has also significant relevance for the practices of daily life. Zusammenfassung Im Kontext Kita und Pflegeheim scheinen jeweils grundlegende Probleme zu existieren, was sich u.a. an fehlender gesellschaftlicher Anerkennung für sorgende Berufe in Deutschland zeigt. Dieser Beitrag untersucht auf drei Ebenen Optionen der Teilhabe durch kulturelle Bildungsprozesse am Beispiel der Musik, wobei die Kategorien Alter und Beruf wichtige Elemente der qualitativen Untersuchung ausmachen. Die Daten wurden mittels unterschiedlicher Erhebungsinstrumente generiert und per Datentriangulation ausgewertet.
