Education Interventions

Abstract Background Person-Centered Care is often seen as an indicator of quality of care. However, it is not known whether and to what extent person-centered care can be enhanced by continuing education interventions in older people’s long-term care settings. This systematic review aimed to analyze and synthesize the existing research literature about person-centered care-based continuing educational interventions for nurses working in long-term care settings for older people. Methods Five databases were searched 6/2019 and updated 7/2020; PubMed (Medline), CINAHL, PsycINFO, Cochrane and Eric using the keywords person-centered car* OR person-centred car * OR patient-centered car* OR client-centered car* OR tailored car* OR resident-centered car* OR individualized car* AND older* OR elder* OR old person* AND Long-Term Care OR Nursing home OR 24-h treatment OR long-term treatment. Twenty-seven full texts from 2587 initially retrieved citations were included. Results The continuing educational interventions found were divided into five themes: person-centered interventions focusing on medication; interaction and caring culture; nurses’ job satisfaction; nursing activities; and older people’s quality of life. The perspective of older people and their next of kin about the influence of continuing education interventions were largely absent. The background theories about interventions, the measurements taken, and the clarity around the building blocks of the continuing-care interventions need further empirical verification. The pedagogical methods used were mainly quite behavioristic mostly lectures and seminars. Conclusion Most of person-centered care continuing education interventions are effective. Still more empirical research-based continuing education interventions are needed that include learner-centered pedagogical methods, with measurable outcomes that consider the opinions of older people and their next of kin. Continuing educational interventions for nurses need to be further developed to strengthen nurse’s competence in person-centered care, job satisfaction and for better quality of care.

Healthcare professionals working with people with dementia (PwD) have increasingly been moving away from task-oriented models of healthcare towards person-centered care (PCC). Several studies have showed positive results of PCC on quality of life of PwD. Also, it shows positive effects on self-esteem and work satisfaction of healthcare professionals (HCP).We developed an successful practice-oriented intervention to implement PCC in long-term care facilities (LTCFs), based on the theory of Kitwood. The intervention consists of different components and learning methods: 1)Management of the facility is trained. They have an important role in motivating HCPs and safeguarding PCC-policy in the future.2)Dementia Care Mapping (DCM)-observations are carried out to gain understanding of the LTCF. DCM is an evidence-based observational method and aims to give a good understanding of the quality of life of PwD.3)The training of staff starts with a Kick-off-meeting. During a ‘Mirror theater’ with professional actors, an act representing a familiar care situation is performed. Staff participates in the act to become aware of PCC. The kick-off also serves as a warming-up on PCC knowledge.4)After this, staff complete an interactive e-learning on the basic theory of PCC. The e-learning contains practical videos and exercises.5)Finally, staff follow two consecutive, practical-oriented team-trainings. They will learn what PCC means for their daily practice and how to reflect on it. The most effective part is the reflection on examples of their own clients, and get more aware of their own behavior. In between trainings, HCP will carry out a practice exercise and provide feedback in session two.In an early stage of the intervention we discuss the possibilities and adjust the approach to the needs and situation (culture, level of knowledge etc.) of the LTCF. Involvement of all the staff in the intervention is essential, so everyone speaks the same ‘language’ and staff can rely on each other. Based on experience, these factors contributes to a sustainable way to implement PCC in LTCFs.

Centered Care

Person-centered care (PCC) is the empowering approach of ho-listic care that shifts from a traditional biomedical framework to one that emphasizes older adults’ personalized preferences, abilities, and strengths. This systematic literature review aimed to describe the current status of research on PCC for older adults living in long-term care facilities (LTCFs). The method that conducted the search involved using 5 consistent keywords along with adding various descriptor terms to help narrow the search. A total of 18 articles were discussed in the final review after meeting all of the inclusion criteria. The results showed overall beneficial outcomes of PCC for institutionalized older adults, the importance of prioritizing residents’ preferences when implementing PCC, and perspectives of residents and staff workers on the state of PCC in their respective LTCFs, as well as what they think are barriers and facilitators. Identifying what the top shared preferences are is the first step to providing individualized PCC delivery that will improve the quality of care and quality of life for older adults living in LTCFs. Furthermore, taking into account both staff and residents’ perspectives will lead to an improved PCC climate in LTCFs that will enable better care outcomes.

Since the outbreak of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), there have been few deadlier places than in nursing homes. As such, several useful guidelines on coping with COVID-19 in nursing homes have emerged. The critical immediate term measures mentioned in the guidelines have longer term implications especially on quality of care. We discuss how these measures instituted for infection control can be synergistic with person-centered care which has been synonymous with quality of care in nursing homes.

Objective: This study examines how older residents’ social support and perceived empowerment are associated with their quality of life (QOL) in long-term care (LTC) facilities in Shanghai, China, controlling for their health-related conditions, facility type, and other socio-demographic characteristics. Method: Using a convenient sampling approach, we selected nine LTC facilities in Shanghai, China. We surveyed 515 older residents from these facilities. Results: Older participants in this study rate their QOL, social support, and perceived empowerment as moderate, and these variables are positively associated with their QOL. Older residents who live in government-owned and private-run LTC facilities are more likely to have a higher level of perceived QOL compared with those living in government-run facilities. Discussion: There is an urgent need to increase staff awareness and capacity to empower older residents, and to engage them in their care plan and delivery. LTC facilities could provide more opportunities for older residents’ social networking within and outside LTC facilities. Improvement of older residents’ QOL is critical in the future development of resident-centered care models in LTC facilities.
