What Matters

Abstract Measuring what matters most to residents, relatives and staff in residential long-term care settings is critical, yet underdeveloped in our predominantly frailty and deficits-focused measurement frameworks. The Worldwide Elements to Harmonize Research in Long-Term Care Living Environments (WE-THRIVE) consortium has previously prioritized measurement concepts in the areas of care outcomes, workforce and staffing, person-centered care, and care context. These concepts include knowing the resident and what matters most to the resident, and outcomes such as quality of life, and personhood. We present findings of our currently recommended measures, including both general population and dementia-specific measures, such as the Person-Centered Care Assessment Tool (PCAT), the Personhood in Dementia Questionnaire (PDQ), and the ICEpop CAPability Measure for Older People (ICECAP-O). We also describe remaining gaps in existing measures that will need to be addressed to fully specify common data elements focused on measuring what matters most to residents, relatives and staff.

E Learning

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.

Care Aides

Abstract Health care aides provide direct care for older residents with advanced dementia in long-term care facilities. This study aims to understand care aides’ perceptions of what is ‘good’ care, what is person-centered care, and how to provide person-centered care for older residents with advanced dementia, as preparatory work of the WE-THRIVE consortium’s efforts to develop internationally-relevant common data elements of person-centered dementia care and launch comparative research in LMICs. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with health care aides (N=35) from 2 government-owned and 2 private long-term care facilities in urban China. Directed and conventional content analysis were used, drawing upon core constructs of person-centered dementia care and Nolan’s (2006) senses framework. We found that although care aides were not trained in person-centered care, they did incorporate person-centeredness in their work by tailoring their care to the needs of older residents and facilitating interactions with residents and their peers through communication cues.

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.

ABSTRACTBackground: Person-centered care is increasingly regarded as being synonymous with best quality care. However, the concept and its precise meaning is a subject of debate and reliable and valid measurement tools are lacking.Method: This article describes the development and initial testing of a new self-report assessment scale, the Person-centered Care Assessment Tool (P-CAT), which measures the extent to which long-term aged care staff rate their settings to be person-centered. A preliminary 39-item tool generated from research literature, expert consultations and research interviews with aged care staff (n = 37), people with early onset dementia (n = 11), and family members (n = 19) was distributed to a sample of Australian aged care staff (n = 220) and subjected to item analysis and reduction.Results: Psychometric evaluation of the final 13-item tool was conducted using statistical estimates of validity and reliability. The results showed that the P-CAT was shown to be valid and homogeneous by factor, item and content analyses. Cronbach's α was satisfactory for the total scale (0.84), and the three subscales had values of 0.81, 0.77, and 0.31 respectively. Test–retest reliability were evaluated (n = 26) and all analyses indicated satisfactory estimates.Conclusion: This study provides preliminary evidence in support of the psychometric properties of the P-CAT when used in an Australian sample of long-term aged care staff. The tool contributes to the literature by making it possible to study person-centered care in relation to health outcomes, organizational models, characteristics and levels of staffing, degrees of care needs among residents, and impact of interventions.

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.
