The Impact

The elderly population which increases rapidly along with the downgrading of various systems generate impacts on the health condition of the elderly, thus, long-term care is required. The long-term care requires health cadres or caregivers who support the health workers, however, health cadres or caregivers need to conceive a decent knowledge regarding long-term care on the elderly. According to this phenomenon, therefore, the researchers were interested to conduct a study concerning the impact of the long-term care education for elderly on the knowledge of health cadres. This research aimed to discover the impact of long-term care education for elderly on the knowledge of health cadres in Pokoh Hamlet, Wedomartani, Ngemplak, Sleman, Yogyakarta Special Region. The research was performed through a quasi-experimental method with nonequivalent control group pre and posttest design. The knowledge of the respondent was measured before the education regarding long-term care is provided, then, the respondents were educated, and the knowledge of cadre about long-term care was measured at end of the meeting. Respondents involved in this research were individuals who follow the education and cadres or local people who nurse the elderly. The knowledge of cadres was measured through the questionnaire of long-term care. The statistical hypothesis test was performed on the obtained data through Wilcoxon’s test. A total sampling was used as the sampling technique in this research which resulted in 16 respondents as the sample. The results of this research indicated that the median score of the knowledge of health cadres was 39.5 before the intervention and 45 after the intervention with 0.000 of p-value, there was a significant difference of knowledge between before and after the long-term care education was given on health cadres. The conclusion is that there was a significant difference between the long-term care education with the knowledge of health cadres. Health cadres are expected to be able of performing screening on elderly who require long-term care and also capable of performing long-term care on the elderly which focused on the fulfillment of basic needs.

The Impact

Abstract This study examined the impact of frailty on medical and long-term care expenditures in an older Japanese population. The subjects were those aged 75 years and over who responded to the survey (March 2018) in Bibai, Hokkaido, Japan (n=1,203) and have never received certification of long-term care insurance at the survey. We followed up 867 individuals (72.1%) until the end of December 2018 (10 month-period). We defined frailty as a state in performing 4 items and over of 15 items which were composed of un-intentional weight loss, history of falls, etc. Among 867 subjects, 233 subjects (26.9%) were judged to be frailty group, and 634 subjects (73.1%) non-frailty group. We compared period to the new certification of long-term care insurance (LTCI), accumulated medical and long-term care expenditures adjusted for age and gender between the two groups during the follow-up period. Cox proportional hazard models were used to examine the association between baseline frailty and the new certification of LTCI. The relative hazard ratio (HR) was higher in frailty group than non-frailty group (HR=3.51, 95% CI：1.30-9.45, P=.013). The adjusted mean accumulated medical and long-term care expenditures per capita during the follow-up were significantly (P=.002) larger for those in the frailty group (629,699 yen), while those in the non-frailty group were 450,995 yen. We confirmed strong economic impact of frailty in the elderly aged 75 or over in Japan.

The Impact

Nursing staffs from two long-term care facilities attended a multisession educational program about the care of residents with diabetes (treatment group). A control group consisted of the nursing staffs from two other similar facilities who did not participate in the educational program. Both groups were given a knowledge pretest and posttest. A chart review also was conducted following the educational intervention to determine any changes in the diabetes care provided by the treatment group. Following the educational program, the treatment group had a significant increase in their mean score on the knowledge test compared with the control group. However, a. review of the residents' charts revealed no significant increases in specific behaviors related to diabetes care. The findings suggest that, in addition to educational programs, more focused training concerning diabetes care is needed to improve the care of residents with diabetes in long-term care facilities. Implications for diabetes educators are discussed.

Abstract Background China has the world's largest elderly population, as well as the largest population of disabled elderly. Existing literature shows that there have been increased efforts to develop intelligent robots to address the shortage of caregivers for the elderly. However, there has been little research on elders’ acceptance of care from intelligent robots. Aims The purpose of this study was to examine the acceptance of intelligent robots among disabled elderly in need of long-term care. Methods We used structured questionnaire and interview methods during a social survey. In total, 3060 questionnaires and 50 interviews were collected. Results An overwhelming majority of the 3060 participants (79.39%) indicated that they would reject robot care. Discussion In further research, should consider more about the background of interviewees, the influence of the economy and social development across different regions, and distinguish the impact of each type of basic information on the acceptance of intelligent machines by the elderly. Conclusions Most elderly adults were reluctant to allow robots to provide services that involved physical contact. Therefore, the development and design of robots should consider elderly individuals’ attitudes toward non-human services, in addition to broadening the scope of activities that intelligent robots could cover, and providing intelligent tools and products that the elderly would be more likely to gradually accept.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects, both initially and after 6 months, of an “advanced movable restraint” with openended palm sleeve restraint bands for the elderly residents at long-term care facilities in northern Taiwan. Background. Elderly residents in long-term care facilities are often forced to remain bed-ridden by traditional bed restraint bands due to their irritable, confused conditions and the associated risks of self-extubating their nasogastric (NG) tubes, urinary catheters, etc. However, the traditional bed restraint bands can themselves lead to further physical and mental complications such as skin damage, depression, hostility, and even rhabdomyolysis, increasing the risk of death. Design. Quasiexperimental design. Methods: This parallel-design study was conducted with elderly residents at eight long-term care facilities. The newly designed advanced movable restraint featuring movable open-ended palm sleeve restraint bands was applied to the elderly residents in the experimental group, allowing them greater freedom of movement such that they were not required to remain bed-ridden. In contrast, the elderly residents in the control group were restrained with traditional bed restraints requiring that they remain bedridden. The following four instruments and indicators were then used to compare the effects of the two types of restraints: (1) an activities of daily living (ADL) survey based on the Barthel Index, (2) a muscle power test, (3) an exercise frequency and duration survey, and (4) self-extubation rates. The effects of the interventions were tested by using the t test or chi-square test to compare pre-test results for the ADL survey, muscle power test, exercise frequency and duration survey, and self-extubation rates to those at a 6-month follow-up. Results: A total of 80 elderly residents were included in the experimental group, while 80 elderly residents were included in the control group. At the 6-month follow-up, the residents restrained with the advanced movable restraint had a significantly increased mean muscle power score (χ2 =17.212, P < 0.001), significantly decreased self-extubation rate (χ2 =40.733, P < .001), and significantly increased exercise frequency and duration per week (χ2=27.095 P < 0.001; 26.241 P < 0.001). Conclusions: This study showed that the advanced movable restraint can improve muscle power scores, self-extubation rates, and exercise frequencies and durations by allowing residents greater freedom of movement without the need to remain bed-ridden. It is thus crucial to use such advanced movable restraints and develop standardized technology systems to support the elderly residents and nurses in long-term care facilities.

Introduction: It is forecasted that in the near future, the United States will not have enough long-term care (LTC) nurses qualified or interested in the LTC arena to sustain the healthcare delivery system. The overall effectiveness of any health care delivery system hinges on a sustainable nursing workforce, which is the largest health professional group. Globally, a significant segment of the nursing workforce is nearing retirement age. Methods: Using pre- and post-intervention recruitment strategy surveys detailing the Realistic job preview (RJP), the Best-Foot-Forward, and a control brochure, this study investigated senior nursing students’ image and perception of long-term care nursing compared to their image and perception of other areas in nursing. The effects of prior experience with or exposure to LTC on students’ intention to apply for a position in LTC were examined in 221 senior year students earning the Bachelor of Science in nursing degree from three California universities. Results: The first hypothesis stated that pre-intervention students’ intent to apply for a position in LTC upon graduation would be significantly and positively associated with their pre-intervention image of LTC. A Pearson correlation coefficient between pre-intervention intent to apply and pre-intervention image was statistically significant, r = -.368, n = 221, p < .001, supporting the first hypothesis. Hypothesis 2: Post-intervention RJP students would have a significantly more positive perception of LTC nursing than BFF or control-group students. There would be no significant difference in the RJP, BFF and control group students’ pre-intervention image of LTC nursing. Hypothesis 2 was not significant. Hypothesis 3: Post-intervention RJP students would have a significantly stronger intent to apply for jobs in LTC nursing than BFF or control-group students. There would be no significant difference in RJP, BFF, and control group students’ pre-intervention intent to apply for a position in LTC nursing. Hypothesis 3 was not significant. Hypothesis 4: Senior nursing students’ pre-intervention intent to apply for a position in LTC upon graduation would be significantly and positively associated with prior experience in or exposure to LTC. Hypothesis 4 was not significant. Conclusions: To enhance LTC nursing image and to improve students’ perceptions of this line of nursing may be accomplished, in part, through program curriculum, including internships in LTC, offering multiple dedicated courses in LTC, and increasing the emphasis on LTC during nursing programs. Realistic job preview technique shows significant positive result over the Best-Foot-Forward technique. Keywords: Recruitment methods, realistic job preview, long-term care, nursing, LTC experience
