Intervention Context

ABSTRACTBackground:Arts-based interventions play an important role in the care of people with dementia. Yet, creative arts are seldom implemented as a tool to enhance the care and wellbeing of people with dementia.Methods:We examined the involvement of care staff in creative arts activities in residential care. Aspects of involvement that appear to influence outcomes in people with dementia were identified and analyzed. A broad systematic literature search of MedLine, EMBASE, PsychInfo, CINAHL, ASSIA, SCOPUS, and Web of Science led to the identification of 14 papers. The studies identified through the search process were examined in terms of intervention, context, mechanism and outcome, and the relationships between these aspects.Results:Training sessions were identified as an opportunity to educate care personnel on useful techniques that are relevant to daily care practice. Evidence from the literature suggests that creative arts programs play a significant role in the way staff and residents interact and as a result influence the care practice of staff. Under certain conditions creative arts programs, that involve and engage staff, facilitate enhanced interactions and improve care strategies, which leads to the recognition and validation of personhood in residents with dementia.Conclusions:These findings provide a basis for illustrating which elements of care staff involvement in creative arts programs could be implemented in residential care contexts in order to have the upmost benefit.

Spatial Metaphors

Abstract Deinstitutionalization is often described as an organizational shift of moving care from the psychiatric hospital towards the community. This paper analyses deinstitutionalization as a daily care practice by adopting an empirical ethics approach instead. Deinstitutionalization of mental healthcare is seen as an important way of improving the quality of lives of people suffering from severe mental illness. But how is this done in practice and which different goods are strived for by those involved? We examine these questions by giving an ethnographic description of community mental health care in Trieste, a city that underwent a radical process of deinstitutionalization in the 1970s. We show that paying attention to the spatial metaphors used in daily care direct us to different notions of good care in which relationships are central. Addressing the question of how daily care practices of mental healthcare outside the hospital may be constituted and the importance of spatial metaphors used may inform other practices that want to shape community mental health care.

This qualitative study aimed to understand the meanings attributed to the nursing process by clinical nurses at a Mexican hospital. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, participant observation and document research. Symbolic Interactionism and Grounded Theory were the theoretical and methodological frameworks for data analysis, which permitted understanding the experience and meaning nurses attributed to the nursing process in their daily care practice, which was unveiled as routine care actions, performed differently from what they had learned in school.

Summary Objectives: The usability of terminological systems (TSs) strongly depends on the coverage and correctness of their content. The objective of this study was to create a literature overview of aspects related to the content of TSs and of methods for the evaluation of the content of TSs. The extent to which these methods overlap or complement each other is investigated. Methods: We reviewed literature and composed definitions for aspects of the evaluation of the content of TSs. Of the methods described in literature three were selected: 1) Concept matching in which two samples of concepts representing a) documentation of reasons for admission in daily care practice and b) aggregation of patient groups for research, are looked up in the TS in order to assess its coverage; 2) Formal algorithmic evaluation in which reasoning on the formally represented content is used to detect inconsistencies; and 3) Expert review in which a random sample of concepts are checked for incorrect and incomplete terms and relations. These evaluation methods were applied in a case study on the locally developed TS DICE (Diagnoses for Intensive Care Evaluation). Results: None of the applied methods covered all the aspects of the content of a TS. The results of concept matching differed for the two use cases (63% vs. 52% perfect matches). Expert review revealed many more errors and incompleteness than formal algorithmic evaluation. Conclusions: To evaluate the content of a TS, using a combination of evaluation methods is preferable. Different representative samples, reflecting the uses of TSs, lead to different results for concept matching. Expert review appears to be very valuable, but time consuming. Formal algorithmic evaluation has the potential to decrease the workload of human reviewers but detects only logical inconsistencies. Further research is required to exploit the potentials of formal algorithmic evaluation.

AbstractInformation about the patient‘s health status and about medical problems in general, play an important role in stratifying a patient population for quality assurance of intensive care. A terminological system which supports both the description of health problems for daily care practice and the aggregation of diagnostic information for evaluative research, is desirable for description of the patient population. This study describes the engineering of an ontology that facilitates a terminological system for intensive care diagnoses. We analyzed the criteria for such an ontology and evaluated existing terminological systems according to these criteria. The analysis shows that none of the existing terminological systems completely satisfies all our criteria. We describe choices regarding design, content and representation of a new ontology on which an adequate terminological system is based. The proposed ontology is characterized by the explicit and formal representation of the domain model, the metaspecification of its concepts, the vocabulary to define concepts and the nomenclature to support the composition of new concepts.

Abstract. Background: Given that nursing staff play a critical role in the decision regarding use of physical restraints, research has examined nursing professionals’ attitudes toward this practice. Aim: Since nursing professionals’ views on physical restraint use have not yet been examined in Austria to date, we aimed to explore nursing professionals’ attitudes concerning use of physical restraints in nursing homes of Styria (Austria). Method: Data were collected from a convenience sample of nursing professionals (N = 355) within 19 Styrian nursing homes, based on a cross-sectional study design. Attitudes toward the practice of restraint use were assessed by means of the Maastricht Attitude Questionnaire in the German version. Results: The overall results showed rather positive attitudes toward the use of physical restraints, yet the findings regarding the sub-dimensions of the questionnaire were mixed. Although nursing professionals tended to deny “good reasons” for using physical restraints, they evaluated the consequences of physical restraint use rather positive and considered restraint use as an appropriate health care practice. Nursing professionals’ views regarding the consequences of using specific physical restraints further showed that belts were considered as the most restricting and discomforting devices. Conclusions: Overall, Austrian nursing professionals seemed to hold more positive attitudes toward the use of physical restraints than counterparts in other Western European countries. Future nationwide large-scale surveys will be needed to confirm our findings.
