The Nursing Management of Chronic Disease in the General Practice Setting
The objective of this scoping review is to examine the extent and type of evidence relating to the nurse’s role in the management of chronic disease in a general practice setting. This review forms part of a wider research project taking a case study approach to answer the following research question: what are the continuous professional development needs of nurses who support the structured chronic disease management (CDM) programme in general p…
Reimagining the ‘Lost’ narratives of advanced dementia through literature and critical fabulation
The progression of dementia significantly affects the abilities to communicate needs or experiences, often rendering the inner lives or narratives inaccessible to others. This increases the risk of narratives becoming 'lost' and people living with dementia becoming subject to narrative dispossession. However, even as communicative clarity diminishes, meaningful expressions persist, necessitating empathic and creative approaches to engaging with t…
Addressing relationship quality of people with dementia and their family carers
Specific profiles of persons with dementia and their carers are at risk of worse relationship quality trajectories. By considering modifiable related factors (e.g., carers' stress), our findings can help develop tailored, effective interventions
Carers’ experiences of timely access to and use of dementia care services in eight European countries
Timely access to care services is crucial to support people with dementia and their family carers to live well. Carers of people with dementia (N = 390), recruited from eight countries, completed semi-structured interviews about their experiences of either accessing or not using formal care services over a 12-month period in the Access to Timely Formal Care (Actifcare) study. Participant responses were summarised using content analysis, categoris…
A validation study of the CarerQol instrument in informal caregivers of people with dementia from eight European countries
This study demonstrates the convergent and clinical validity of the CarerQol instrument to evaluate the impact of providing informal care for people with dementia
The perspectives of people with dementia on day and respite services
Respite services have traditionally been viewed as services for carers mainly. Perhaps as a result, the perspectives of people with dementia have been largely ignored. In this study, we consider these perspectives in relation to day and respite services, and contextualise them in light of Kitwood's prediction that person-centred care would be adopted only superficially by such services. Convenience sampling was employed and semi-structured interv…
A validation study of the Icecap-O in informal carers of people with dementia from eight European Countries
The ICECAP-O appears to be a valid measure of well-being in informal carers for people with dementia. The ICECAP-O may therefore be useful as an outcome measure in economic evaluations of interventions aimed at such informal carers, when these aim to improve well-being beyond health
Optimizing access to and use of formal dementia care
This paper reports on qualitative data from the Actifcare study investigating experiences, attitudes, barriers and facilitators concerning access to and use of formal care. A total of 85 semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted in eight European countries. Results were analysed with a deductive content analysis, first within country and then integrated in a cross-national analysis. Overall, analysis of the in-depth interviews revealed t…
Primary Care Education, Pathways and Research of Dementia (PREPARED)
The International Journal of Integrated Care (IJIC) is an online, open-access, peer-reviewed scientific journal that publishes original articles in the field of integrated care on a continuous basis.IJIC has an Impact Factor of 5.120 (2020 JCR, received in June 2021)
(Un)Met needs of community dwelling people with dementia
Introduction: Research shows that PwD and their carers often do not receive the type, quality and amount of support needed from health and social care services. This study, part of the Access to Timely Care (Actifcare) JPND-funded project, aimed to identify the (un)met needs of Irish people with dementia (PwD) living at home and to compare these to needs assessments from a family caregiver and an independent Actifcare researcher.Theory/Methods: F…
The experience of social and emotional loneliness among older people in Ireland
This paper reports a study of the risk factors for social and emotional loneliness among older people in Ireland. Using the ‘Social and Emotional Scale for Adults’, the social and emotional dimensions of loneliness were measured. Emotional loneliness was conceptualised as having elements of both family loneliness and romantic loneliness. The data were collected through a national telephone survey of loneliness in older people conducted in 2004 th…
Assessment in work‐based learning
Work‐based learning (WBL) is undertaken in a wide variety of higher education contexts and is increasingly viewed as a valuable, and increasingly essential, component of both the undergraduate and postgraduate student learning experience. However, the development of rigorous pedagogies to underpin WBL and its assessment is still embryonic. This paper presents a case study of how one medium sized institution, with experience of offering WBL for mo…
A measure of knowledge and confidence in relation to HIV and Aids
Knowledge of HIV and AIDS is widely seen as an important determinant of anxiety about such infection in health care workers. However, existing measures of this knowledge suffer from a number of methodological problems and few demonstrate adequate reliability and validity. This paper documents the development of a new measure detailing its reliability and validity. Knowledge, and also confidence in knowledge, were assessed across seven domains of …
