Feasibility and Utility of Wearable Bluetooth and RFID Sensors to Measure Care Interactions
Clinical care interactions influence important health outcomes in older adults such as nosocomial infections, falls, and care satisfaction. However, traditional measurements of interactions are often time-consuming, costly, biased, or they interfere with normal clinical care. Wearable sensors measure interpersonal contact with a high degree of spatial and temporal detail and accuracy when applied to examining the spread of infection. This study a…
Living With Cognitive Impairment in China
China has experienced a substantial increase in the number of older adults with dementia and milder forms of cognitive impairment. Being spouses of Persons with cognitive impairment (PWCI) and living with them for several decades does not necessarily mean that it is easier for them to provide person-centered care and maintain a valued and healthy relationship. The current study explored how elements of PCC, as operationalized by the Senses Framew…
Staff Interaction Strategies That Optimize Delivery of Transitional Care in a Skilled Nursing Facility
After hospitalization, more than 1.5 million older adults each year receive postacute care in skilled nursing facilities (SNFs). Transitional care services, designed to prepare older SNF patients (and their family caregivers) for their transitions from an SNF to home, have rarely been studied. Thus, we conducted a longitudinal, multiple case study of transitional care provided in an SNF to explore the care processes and staff interaction strategi…
Regulation and Mindful Resident Care in Nursing Homes
Regulatory oversight is intended to improve the health outcomes of nursing home residents, yet evidence suggests that regulations can inhibit mindful staff behaviors that are associated with effective care. We explored the influence of regulations on mindful staff behavior as it relates to resident health outcomes, and offer a theoretical explanation of why regulations sometimes enhance mindfulness and other times inhibit it. We analyzed data fro…
Staff perceptions of staff-family interactions in nursing homes
Patterns of Medical and Nursing Staff Communication in Nursing Homes
Complexity science teaches that relationships among health care providers are key to our understanding of how quality care emerges. The authors sought to compare the effects of differing patterns of medicine-nursing communication on the quality of information flow, cognitive diversity, self-organization, and innovation in nursing homes. Two facilities participated in 6-month case studies using field observations, shadowing, and depth interviews. …
Nurse Assistant Mental Models, Sensemaking, Care Actions, and Consequences for Nursing Home Residents
In a nursing home case study using observation and interview data, the authors described two mental models that guided certified nurse assistants (CNAs) in resident care. The Golden Rule guided CNAs to respond to residents as they would want someone to do for them. Mother wit guided CNAs to treat residents as they would treat their own children. These mental models engendered self-control and affection but also led to actions such as infantilizat…
