The Impact

Extensive research has demonstrated the factors that influence burnout among social service employees, yet few studies have explored burnout among long-term care staff in Hawaii. This study aimed to examine the impact of job value, job maintenance, and social support on burnout of staff in long-term care settings in Hawaii, USA. This cross-sectional study included 170 long-term care staff, aged 20 to 75 years, in Hawaii. Hierarchical regression was employed to explore the relationships between the key independent variables and burnout. The results indicate that staff with a higher level of perceived job value, those who expressed a willingness to continue working in the same job, and those with strong social support from supervisors or peers are less likely to experience burnout. Interventions aimed at decreasing the level of burnout among long-term care staff in Hawaii may be more effective through culturally tailored programs aimed to increase the levels of job value, job maintenance, and social support.

The Impact

The COVID-19 epidemic has hit residents and staff of congregate long-term care communities particularly hard. In North Carolina, the site of this research, over half of registered mortality has been associated with congregate living communities. This article reports on phase one of a rapid qualitative assessment of long-term care professionals and regional aging staff navigating care during this epidemic. Our purpose is twofold. We demonstrate both the value of rapid qualitative appraisals to capture the perspectives and concerns of COVID-19’s long-term care workers and area aging staff, in this case, the staff and advocates that care for and protect the rights of long-term care community residents as well as present data collected in this phase. Key points raised focus on safety, including access and use of personal protective equipment, infection control, limited testing, and staffing issues. In addition, participants expressed concerns about the physical and mental health of residents because they have been isolated from family and friends since the executive order closed these communities to all non-essential people. We will utilize these data, in collaboration with staff and advocates, to inform policy and programming to better address the needs of both residents and staff of long-term care communities.

BackgroundResidents of long term care facilities (LTCFs) and their professional caregivers have been hit hard by the coronavirus. During the COVID-19 outbreak, many countries imposed national visitor-bans for LTCFs. In the Netherlands, the ban was in place from 20 March 2020 onwards and ended (partly) on 15 June 2020. The usual meaningful and pleasant day structure that is created through organized (group) activities, was heavily impacted by the visitor ban. It remains unclear which particular types of activities were stopped, whether ‘alternative’ activities were introduced that may acquire a structural character in the future, and how this affected care workers.MethodsWe conducted online questionnaire research among LTCF residents, family members and care professionals at two time points; six weeks after the visitor-ban was implemented (T1) and one week after the ban was (partly) lifted (T2). The three groups received questionnaires on the consequences of the COVID-19 outbreak and the restrictive measures in place. Respondents were recruited independently for each measurement. This study only uses care professionals’ data. The influence of the up- and downscaling of activities on care professionals’ burden and ability to provide care was investigated using multivariate multiple linear regression.Results811 professionals completed the questionnaire during T1 and 324 care workers during T2. A decrease in regular group activities during the visitor-ban was reported. Especially exercise activities, creative activities and music activities were undertaken less frequently. Also domestic activities, such as eating together and watching television, took place less frequently as compared to before the visitor-ban.Activities that could be easily done on the unit, with sufficient social distance, were undertaken more frequently, such as music activities, conversations and playing games in the living room. The impact of the up- and downscaling of activities on care professional burden, and the perceived ability to provide adequate care, will be presented.ConclusionsActivities are an important means for residents of long term care facilities for obtaining pleasure and giving a meaningful structure to the day. Future lessons can be learned from the adjustments that had to be made in the range of activities offered during the visitor-ban.

The Impact

Seasonal influenza is a serious public health problem that contributes to significant morbidity and mortality locally, nationally, and globally. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that influenza has caused between 9.2 million and 60.8 million illnesses, between 140,000 and 710,000 hospitalizations, and between 12,000 and 56,000 deaths annually since 2010, and approximately 80- 90 percent of influenza related deaths occurred in people 65 years and older. In 2012, prompted by the mounting\ evidence of the risk of nosocomial influenza infection for patients and low influenza vaccination rates of health care workers, the Rhode Island Department of Health (RIDOH) amended its Rules and Regulations for Immunization and Testing for Healthcare Workers. This amendment included mandatory influenza vaccinations for all health care workers, students, volunteers, and trainees who have direct patient contact within a health care facility. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of the regulation of mandating influenza vaccination for health care workers in Rhode Island on influenza incidence, hospitalizations, and deaths of residents of long-term care facilities (LTCF). Surveillance data for influenza incidence, hospitalizations, and deaths among residents of LTCF pre and post the policy implementation are analyzed and results presented. Policy and practice implications for public health nursing are discussed.

Current Plan

Key Message Accelerating the rollout of Ontario’s COVID-19 vaccine such that all LTC residents receive the first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine by January 31, 2021, would prevent a projected 600 COVID-19 cases and 115 deaths by March 31, 2021 when compared with the province’s current plan to vaccinate all LTC residents by February 15, 2021. Projections indicate that further acceleration of the rollout would prevent even more COVID-19 cases and deaths. If vaccine supply is limited, the early provision of first doses of a COVID-19 vaccine to LTC home residents is likely to be more beneficial than the on-schedule provision of second doses to health care workers outside of LTC homes. All LTC residents should receive the second dose according to approved vaccination schedules.
