Evaluating dementia home care practices
Information sharing with rural family caregivers during care transitions of hip fracture patients
As with knowledge translation, effective strategies to improve information sharing and care continuity for older patients with chronic illness may be those that involve active facilitation of an on-going partnership that respects the knowledge of all those involved
Evolution of a Community-Based Participatory Approach in a Rural and Remote Dementia Care Research Program
Developing and sustaining the full range of stakeholder and decision-maker partnerships is resource-and time-intensive, but our experience shows that community-based participatory strategies are highly suited to health services research that is designed to support sustainable service delivery improvements
Informal caregivers' hopes and expectations of a referral to a memory clinic
Understanding triangulation in research
The term ‘triangulation ’ originates in the field of navi-gation where a location is determined by using the angles from two known points.1 Triangulation in research is the use of more than one approach to researching a question. The objective is to increase con-fidence in the findings through the confirmation of a proposition using two or more independent measures.2 The combination of findings from two or more rigorous approaches provides a more…
Family caregivers' experience of in-home knowledge translation
Little attention has been given to approaches to optimize physical, social, and emotional health for those with disabilities. This is particularly so for the frail elderly, who experience chronic symptoms of urinary incontinence (UI), and their family caregivers. Although UI can be managed with conservative techniques, UI is a principal reason for the breakdown of family care arrangements and care recipient admission into long-term care
Moving On? Predictors of Intent to Leave Among Rural and Remote RNs in Canada
CONTEXT: Examination of factors related to the retention or voluntary turnover of Registered Nurses (RNs) has mainly focused on urban, acute care settings. PURPOSE: This paper explored predictors of intent to leave (ITL) a nursing position in all rural and remote practice settings in Canada. Based on the conceptual framework developed for this project, potential predictors of ITL were related to the individual RN worker, the workplace, the commun…
Dementia and well-being
Taking the Hit
Beliefs about the causes of events have implications for emotional reactions, distress, expectations for the future, and behavioral responses. In this article we report on two issues: the organizational context that contributes to nursing aide (NA) assault and reporting, and serendipitous findings that arose from investigating unexpected response rates to a survey. Data were collected in 11 rural nursing homes using a structured prospective event…
The Influence of Income on the Experience of Informal Caregiving
Examining the need for an eldercare policy is relevant and timely because the population is aging, a focus of care has shifted from institutional to community based, and informal caregivers, primarily women, are increasingly pressured to be responsible for eldercare. The purpose of the study is to examine the differences in the experiences of low-income and those who are not low-income informal caregivers. Three hundred questionnaires were mailed…
