Experiences of health service access
BACKGROUND: People with Parkinson's disease (PD) do not always access specialist outpatient services in a timely manner in Ireland. The perspectives of people living with PD, relating to service access, are largely absent in the existing literature. AIM: To explore experiences of PD service access for people living with PD, using a qualitative approach. METHODS: Purposive maximum variation sampling was used. Semi-structured telephone interviews w…
Experiences of Health Service Access and Use for People Living with Parkinson’s Disease in Ireland
Background. Despite the growing prevalence of Parkinson’s disease (PD) and the need to plan for future health service provision, little is known in the Irish context about PD patients’ experiences of service access/use. Methods. A cross-sectional survey, with multiple formats, i.e., online, pen-and-paper, and telephone. Data were collected from May 2020 to July 2021 using a multipronged recruitment strategy. The survey was completed by people wit…
The Diagnostic Accuracy and Clinimetric Properties of Screening Instruments to Identify Frail Older Adults Attending Emergency Departments
Understanding whether frailty screening on presentation to EDs is accurate in identifying frailty, and predicting these outcomes is important for decision-making and targeting appropriate management
Comparison of Machine Learning Techniques for Mortality Prediction in a Prospective Cohort of Older Adults
As global demographics change, ageing is a global phenomenon which is increasingly of interest in our modern and rapidly changing society. Thus, the application of proper prognostic indices in clinical decisions regarding mortality prediction has assumed a significant importance for personalized risk management (i.e., identifying patients who are at high or low risk of death) and to help ensure effective healthcare services to patients. Consequen…
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…

Implementing new ways of working to reduce the risk of falls among older people
Introduction: Numerous interventions have been shown to effectively reduce the rate and risk of falling among older people. In Ireland, our national falls strategy recommends the use of evidence-based interventions that are equitable and sustainable. However, there are practical, cultural, and professional challenges to implementing service changes that require input from multiple professionals across settings. Our aim is to investigate the accep…
Perceptions, Expectations, and Informal Supports Influence Exercise Activity in Frail Older Adults
This study aims to explore frail older adults' perceptions of what influences their exercise behaviors. A qualitative descriptive design was used. Semi-structured, open-ended interviews were conducted with 29 frail older adults. Thematic content analysis established the findings. Frail older adults perceive exercise as a by-product of other purposeful activities such as manual work or social activities. Progression into frailty appears to be asso…
