Culture Activity

<p><strong>Grindagutar at nursing home: Employees experience with cultural project.</strong><em><br />Background: Culture activity contributes to holistic care for nursing home residents, and the employees are key personnel for success.<br />Aim: Explore the employees’ experience putting culture projects into life in a nursing home.<br />Methods: The material, based on four focus group interviews with employees in the nursing home, is categorized and analyzed through text condensation.<br />Results: The culture projects created activity and were sources for thriving. However, not participating directly in the activity, the employees let the artists in, were available for them, and watched the patients during the performances. Their function as “door-openers/-keepers” resulted in hosting responsibility, leading to a position of confusion regarding the role as protectors for the patients. Main challenges were how to give feedback regarding whether the patients liked/disliked the performance, and the feeling of being trapped in a position as bystander rather than making the culture activity a common happening for the patients and the employees. </em><strong></strong></p>

Introduction Multiple care organisations, such as home care services, nursing homes and hospitals, are responsible for providing an appropriate response to the palliative care needs of older people admitted into long-term care facilities. Integrated palliative care aims to provide seamless and continuous care. A possible organisational strategy to help realise integrated palliative care for this population is to create a network in which these organisations collaborate. The aim is to analyse the collaboration processes of the various organisations involved in providing palliative care to nursing home residents. Method A sequential mixed-methods study, including a survey sent to 502 participants to evaluate the collaboration between home and residential care, and between hospital and residential care, and additionally three focus group interviews involving a purposive selection among the survey participants. Participants are key persons from the nursing homes, hospitals and home care organisations that are part of the 15 Flemish palliative care networks dispersed throughout the region of Flanders, Belgium. Results Survey data were gathered from 308 key persons (response rate: 61%), and 16 people participated in three focus group interviews. Interpersonal dimensions of collaboration are rated higher than structural dimensions. This effect is statistically significant. Qualitative analyses identified guidelines, education, and information-transfer as structural challenges. Additionally, for further development, members should become acquainted and the network should prioritise the establishment of a communication infrastructure, shared leadership support and formalisation. Discussion The insights of key persons suggest the need for further structuration and can serve as a guideline for interventions directed at improving inter-organisational collaboration in palliative care trajectories for nursing home residents.

Background: Physical impairment and dependency on others may be a threat to dignity. Research questions: The purpose of this study was to explore dignity as a core concept in caring, and how healthcare personnel focus on and foster dignity in nursing home residents. Research design: This study has a hermeneutic design. Participants and research context: In all, 40 healthcare personnel from six nursing homes in Scandinavia participated in focus group interviews in this study. Ethical considerations: This study has been evaluated and approved by the Regional Ethical Committees and the Social Science Data Services in the respective Scandinavian countries. Findings: Two main themes emerged: dignity as distinction (I), and dignity as influence and participation (II). Discussion: A common understanding was that stress and business was a daily challenge. Conclusion: Therefore, and according to the health personnel, maintaining human dignity requires slow caring in nursing homes, as an essential approach.

Introduction Elderly people who leave their home environment and move to a nursing home enter a phase in life with diminishing contact with family and friends. This situation often results in a feeling of loneliness with a concomitant deterioration in physical and mental health. By exploring the topic through the lens of the nurses, this study takes a novel approach to address an under-researched area in the nursing field. Objective The objective of the study was to identify, based on the nurses’ experience, how elderly residents handle loneliness in the nursing home. Methods This study used a qualitative explorative approach with data collected through two focus group interviews with nine nurses at two elderly care facilities in Norway. The resulting transcripts were examined using an approach based on inductive content analysis. Results Three main categories emerged as crucial to help lonely nursing home residents cope with day-to-day life: (i) maintaining ties to one’s earlier life; (ii) engaging in recreational pursuits; and (iii) building new networks. Conclusion Analysing the findings based on sense of coherence (SOC) and person-centred care (PCC) theories illustrates the importance of maintaining a connection with both family and friends. To that point, having access to familiar objects from their earlier life seemingly provides meaning to the residents by bridging the past and the present. Recreational activities, ideally adapted to each person’s needs and ability, have a positive impact by providing structure and meaning that help overtake feelings of loneliness. Building a new network with fellow residents and staff imparts a sense of meaningful community belonging and projects both dignity and self-worth.

Abstract The overall aim of this grounded theory study was to explore the context of a nursing home as ‘home’ from the perspective of residents and staff. Sixteen focus group interviews were used to collect qualitative data from nursing home residents (N = 48) and staff (N = 44). Five distinct categories captured the views and experiences of participating residents and staff. These were: (a) Starting off on the right foot, ‘First impressions can be the lasting ones; (b) Making new and maintaining existing connections, ‘There is great unity between staff and residents’; (c) The nursing home as home, ‘It's a bit like home from home for me’; (d) Intuitive knowing, ‘I don't even have to speak, she just knows’; and (e) Feeling at home in a regulated environment, ‘It takes the home away from nursing home’. Together these five categories formed the basis of the core category ‘Knowing me, knowing you’, which captures the experiences of participants who repeatedly highlighted the importance of relationships and feelings of mutuality and respect between and among staff and residents as central to feeling at home in a nursing home. The reciprocity and mutuality associated with the core category, ‘Knowing me, knowing you’, was at times challenged by staff shortages, time constraints, and conflicting priorities associated with the co-existence of a regulated and homely environment.

Writing can mean lowering or describing graphic symbols that describe a languageunderstood by someone. For a researcher, management of research preparation is a veryimportant step because this step greatly determines the success or failure of all researchactivities. Before a person starts with research activities, he must make a written plan commonlyreferred to as the management of research data collection. In the process of collecting researchdata, of course we can do the management of questionnaires as well as the preparation ofinterview guidelines to disseminate and obtain accurate information. With the arrangement ofplanning and conducting interviews: the ethics of conducting interviews, the advantages anddisadvantages of interviews, the formulation of interview questions, the schedule of interviews,group and focus group interviews, interviews using recording devices, and interview bias.making a questionnaire must be designed with very good management by giving to theinformation needed, in accordance with the problem and all that does not cause problems at thestage of analysis and interpretation.
