Purpose Partnership is both a goal and an approach to family-centered care (FCC). Family members play an important role alongside the health-care team when an older family member is admitted to the hospital. Family involvement in care for an older person forms a partnership approach where health professionals and the family engage collaboratively in care. This enhances the quality of care and family satisfaction with care. The purpose of this paper is to highlight the potential areas of partnerships of family members with health-care professionals while caring for older people based on the perspective of FCC. Design/methodology/approach A literature review was carried out. Findings The findings of this study focus on how healthcare professionals can listen to, respect the perspectives of family members, and share useful information with the family while caring for an older person. Family participation in providing care and collaboration between healthcare professionals and families is a seminal goal strategy in caring for older people during hospitalization. It is helpful to family members as a way of training and preparing them to assist their loved one after hospital discharge. Furthermore, it can establish a good relationship between healthcare professionals and families. Originality/value Partnership between health-care professionals and families helps and supports the older people and the family in managing the health condition the following discharge from the hospital.

Anxiety is one of the common psychological symptoms experienced by children while being treated in the hospital and can cause impairment in growth and development. Hospitalization is considered threatening and has traumatic effects, which can be mitigated using various therapies. Storytelling is one of the therapeutic intervention methods. The purpose of this literature review is to explore the effectiveness of storytelling among preschool children who undergo hospitalization. Literature research conducted on the five largest databases consists of PubMed, Google Scholar, CINAHL, Medline, and PsycINFO using keywords, “Story Telling,” “Hospitalization,” “Anxiety Level,” “Preschool,” and “Story Telling and Hospitalization.” The combination of keywords searches to find more specific literature. We found 25 articles, and five articles are analyzed further. Storytelling is proven effective for reducing the impact of hospitalization, especially anxiety levels for preschool children. It provides a distraction effect and opportunity to develop imagination, opening children mind it and perception or feelings of fear. It is suggested that healthcare professionals implement this intervention to minimize the physical and psychological effects of hospitalization.   Keywords: Preschool Children, Hospitalization and Storytelling

Background: Young onset dementia (YOD) may develop rapidly and affect those who have dependent children. There remains a lack of understanding of the impact on children living with a parent with YOD. Aims: To explore published literature in order to understand the impact on children living with a parent with YOD. Methods: A systematic search of the following databases—Medline; PsychINFO; CINAHL; and Scopus—for literature published from 1 January 2013 to 31 December 2018. Findings: Three major themes were identified: first, coping, which comprised two sub-themes of avoiding the situation and being empowered. Second, change, which encompassed two sub-themes of change of personality and change of family role. The third was loss. Conclusions: There remains a need to raise awareness and develop support services for children of parents with YOD. Community nurses are the best place healthcare professionals to identify and support the needs of both the person with YOD and their children.

Background: The SARS-Cov-2 pandemic has presented numerous challenges to health systems. Exposure to stress scenarios by frontline workers has generated the exhaustion of this group as a response. Consequently, there was an increase in the incidence of Burnout Syndrome (BS) amongst these professionals. Objectives: Analysis of the correlation between BS in the healthcare professionals and the SARS-Cov-2 pandemic. Design and setting: Narrative literature review conducted by Centro Universitário de Mineiros, Campus Trindade. Methods: Articles selected from the PubMed and Scielo database between 2020 and 2021, with the descriptors “Burnout” AND “SARS-CoV-2”. 9 articles were analyzed. Results: The quantitative study carried out by the Jornal Brasileiro de Psiquiatria with 94 nursing technicians working in the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic indicated that 25% had BS (p ≤ 0.25). Another study carried out by the same magazine identified health problems as impaired mental health workers. The study was carried out with 123 professionals, using scores from the Self-Reporting Questionnaire, in which approximately 45% had a score compatible with BS (p <0.05). Amongst the causalities, the professionals’ lack of emotional preparation, extended shifts, limited resources, lack of access to updated information, disturbed sleep patterns, anxiety and depression stood out. The increase in these stressors during the pandemic exposed professionals to a greater risk of developing Burnout Conclusions: This study suggests a strong association between the SARSCov-2 pandemic and the development of BS among health professionals, emphasizing the importance of measures to minimize the impact on these professionals’ mental health.

The health burden of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and frailty is high, but the impact of frailty on ACS treatment and outcomes is uncertain. In this structured literature review, we investigated the relationship between frailty, ACS treatment and outcomes. Between 2000 and 2016, we identified only a small number of primary research studies investigating frailty and ACS care ( n = 10). Frailty was independently associated with increased mortality following ACS (adjusted all-cause mortality hazard ratios for patients with frailty ranged from 1.54 to 5.39). Older people with frailty were significantly less likely to receive guideline-indicated ACS care, including percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) (rates ranged from 6.7% to 43.7% vs. from 30.4% to 69.5%). Available data for PCI indicated a gap between treatment recommended by international guidelines and clinical practice. Further research is warranted in order to investigate methods for identifying frailty in the acute setting and opportunities for improving care among older people with frailty presenting with ACS.
