Going Into a Community, We Need to Start From Where They’re At: Caregiver and Advocate Perspectives

We recorded and inductively coded an open-ended discussion of jargon surrounding “dementia” with the “Supporting Dementia Caregivers After Death” community advisory board (CAB). CAB-members included current and former caregivers of PLWD due to early- and normal-onset Alzheimer’s, Lewy body, and Parkinson’s, a co-president of the Alzheimer’s Association (ALZ) Young Champions, a dementia trainer/consultant and member of a Catholic church that preserves American Indian spiritual traditions, a senior program manager at ALZ who was entrusted by American Indian reservation elders to provide dementia education, a care partner support group leader, and an Alzheimer’s Ambassador chosen by multiple US senators. Themes identified included differential inclusiveness of terms like “memory loss” versus “dementia”, misuse and misunderstanding of “dementia” versus “Alzheimer’s,” and the difficulty of translating “dementia” into the American Indian Ojibwe (i.e., Anishinaabemowin) language where suggested translations directly translated to “slow memory loss”, “brain deterioration”, “absent mindedness”, or even “craziness”.

Balanced Leadership Case Study

This case study discusses the application of balanced leadership in Transport for New South Wales in Australia (Transport). It reports on three aspects of balanced leadership in Transport: how decisions are made regarding projects and programs; how leadership shifts between the vertical leader (project or program manager) and horizontal leader (subject matter experts in teams); and elements of socio-cognitive space that support the transition between vertical and horizontal leadership. The predominant methodology used to deliver programs in Transport was found to be agile, and all the programs delivered from the unit where the interviewees were located were aimed at supporting the creation of value from big data. The unit managing programs in this organization was not fully involved in implementing projects in the programs, creating an additional level of leadership where some tasks were also undertaken by project team members in a vendor’s organization.

Nurse Navigators’ Views on Patient and System Factors Associated with Navigation Needs among Women with Breast Cancer

Coordinating breast cancer treatment is a complex task that can overwhelm patients and their support networks. Though the Cancer Patient Navigator (CPN) program in Nova Scotia (NS) provides professional assistance to patients, certain groups of patients may still face barriers to accessing its services. Employing interviews and a modified Delphi approach with CPN participants, this study sought to identify factors associated with the need for navigation to help better target CPN program referrals among breast cancer patients. Six CPNs were recruited directly through the CPN program manager for interviews and surveys. The CPNs identified 27 different factors, which were divided into 4 categories: sociodemographic, psychological, clinical and health systems. While these patient factors (particularly sociodemographic) are not directly modifiable, awareness of their association with the need for navigation could be used to better target patients with a high need for navigation for referral to CPN services.
