Study Results

PurposeThe majority of older Australians prefer living in their own home. Home modifications support older adults' ageing-in-place through mitigating environmental hazards of their home, and there is an increased interest in modifying older adults' residential environment in sustainable ways. However, an in-depth understanding of sustainability perceptions of home modification service providers (HMSPs) is lacking in Australia. Thus, the study aims to address this research gap.Design/methodology/approachQualitative content analysis was adopted to identify sustainability perceptions through analyzing the retrieved home modification business information from the selected HMSPs' official websites. The results of qualitative content analysis were further analyzed by using independent-samples t-test and chi-square contingency table analysis to investigate the relationships between HMSP type and sustainability.FindingsIn total, 54 sustainability perceptions were identified, with the crucial ones being safe living environment, independent living and service diversity. Overall, there are no significant differences in sustainability perceptions between charitable and non-charitable HMSPs. Nevertheless, charitable HMSPs place more importance on social sustainability in comparison with non-charitable HMSPs.Originality/valueThe study results facilitate understanding about HMSPs' sustainability perceptions and sustainable home modifications in the ageing society, which facilities theory advancement and industry practice in the home modification area.

The purpose of this study was to explore and describe older adults’ opinions regarding actions to prevent falls and to analyze differences in the opinions of highly versus less physically active older adults. An open-ended question was answered by 262 individuals aged 75 to 98 years living in the community. The answers were analyzed using qualitative content analysis, and differences in the categories were compared between highly and less physically active persons. Physical activity was measured according to a five-level scale. The content analysis resulted in eight categories: assistive devices, avoiding hazards, behavioral adaptive strategies, being physically active, healthy lifestyle, indoor modifications, outdoor modifications, and seeking assistance. Behavioral adaptive strategies were mentioned to a greater extent by highly active people, and indoor modifications were more often mentioned by less active older adults. Support for active self-directed behavioral strategies might be important for fall prevention among less physically active older adults.

Abstract Background The concept of patient safety is an essential component of health care systems and is one of the key pillars of quality in health care organizations. One of the most important factors related to the safety of patients is the spiritual health of staff and patients.

The proposed method of Granheim and Landman (2004) was also used for the qualitative content analysis of the data.Results In this study, 5 themes and 11 sub-themes were obtained from the participants' experiences. These included: continuous and dynamic training and upgrading of safety skills, attention to spirituality and conscientiousness and work commitment, effective communication and teamwork, equipping human and logistical resources based on the principle of care, accurate recognition of instructions, and error control.Conclusions The evaluation of safety culture clarifies the perceptions of safety participants in the organization and the attitude of managers and employees towards safety issue which can lead to the development of safety culture and quality improvement.

AbstractIntroductionIn order to be effective in discussing high-risk sexual behaviors with adolescents, mothers need to be educated about their adolescent daughters’ sexual issues. As no detailed and exact knowledge on mothers’ educational needs concerning adolescent girls’ reproductive health is available, the current study was intended to investigate mothers’ educational needs concerning their adolescent daughters’ reproductive health.Materials and methodsThis research was a qualitative content analysis. Purposive sampling was performed to the saturation point. The samples included 26 mothers and 14 key informants. Semi-structured interviews were used for data collection. Data authenticity was verified based on Lincoln and Guba’s criteria and data analysis was conducted using conventional content analysis with MAXQDA10 software.FindingsIn this study, three themes and 13 main categories, each with a number of subcategories were extracted. The themes and main categories included: “appropriate educational content (reproductive health, sexual health, general health, psychological health, family health, social health and spiritual health)”, “characteristics of the educator (communicative skill, cognitive skill and moral competence)”, and “effective factors in learning (teaching method, learning conditions and environment, and the learner’s readiness)”.ConclusionsThe results demonstrated that mothers need to be informed about sexual, reproductive, general, psychological, family, social and spiritual health in adolescent girls. Consequently, the results can help the healthcare authorities to implement need-based programs and boost the effectiveness of education about adolescent girls’ reproductive health for mothers.

Abstract An important quality marker for end-of-life services is congruence with patient’s preferred place of care, but this congruence in place of care is less likely for those facing structural inequalities (Grunier et al., 2007). As homelessness among older adults in the United States grows (Culhane et al., 2013), the urgency in understanding place of care in palliative care with unhoused patients grows. This presentation illustrates results from an organizational case study (Yin, 2014) of a novel homeless palliative care team and focuses on a qualitative content analysis of charts of patients over 50 receiving care both before and during the COVID-19 pandemic (n=27). Findings highlight (1) the interplay between environmental factors, psychosocial resources and constraints, and medical acuity in determining where care can take place, (2) facilitators for care in marginal settings such as emergency shelters and encampments, and (3) where opportunities for more equitable age-friendly healthcare system interventions exist.
