Diabetes educational interventions in care homes
Exploring the use of a dementia game for raising public awareness in Singapore
As the population of individuals living with dementia is estimated to increase significantly, addressing stereotypes and stigma associated with the condition has become crucial. Despite the widespread negative cultural depictions contributing to this stigma, the research on evidence-based interventions remains limited. Drawing from successful dementia awareness initiatives in the UK, this study aims to explore the use of a dementia game to raise …
Evaluation of a digital Dementia Game to promote public awareness about dementia in Singapore
The study demonstrates the potential of a digital game to promote public awareness and improve attitudes towards dementia. The interactive and educational features of the game were well-received by participants, suggesting it can be an effective tool for challenging stereotypes and stigma surrounding dementia. However, the lack of significant improvements among those with prior dementia experience or training may reflect a ceiling effect, as they…
Co-design and evaluation of a digital serious game to promote public awareness about pancreatic cancer
This study is the first to explore a serious game's utility in pancreatic cancer awareness. Results suggest that such interventions can effectively increase public awareness and influence help-seeking intentions. The co-design process ensured content relevance, and participant satisfaction was high. Findings highlight the game's potential as an accessible and convenient tool for diverse populations
Twelve tips for introducing E-Portfolios in health professions education
Portfolios have been used in health professions for many decades as a means of documenting reflective practice that inform change, supports the understanding of professionals' development needs and changing care options for clients. Electronic versions of one's portfolio of evidence or E-Portfolios became more prevalent in the early 2000s as a repository to store evidence and reflections. However, in recent years E-Portfolios have evolved from a …
Assessing Risk among Frail Older Adults in Ontario, Canada, during the Covid-19 Pandemic
We developed a pandemic telephone outreach protocol to identify risk for social isolation, health destabilization, medication issues, inadequate services and supports, and caregiver stress among older adults at high risk of destabilization. Screening, conducted between April 1, 2020, and May 8, 2020, was targeted to those who had previously been screened as frail or who were identified as vulnerable by their family physician. This study describes…
When More Satisfying and Supportive Relationships Increase Loneliness
People experiencing homelessness can often have small and fragmented social networks, due to the loss and absence of critical connections, leaving them particularly susceptible to loneliness. During the course of homelessness, some people experience a changing profile of networks, transitioning away from family and some friends and forming new/substitute networks, such as service providers or pets. The resulting loneliness can have profound impac…
Theatre production
Language can shape and reinforce attitudes and stereotypes about living with dementia. This can happen through use of metaphors. However, common metaphors may not capture the complexity of experience of dementia from the perspective of the individual person or a family carer. This paper presents an alternative metaphor – that of a theatre production – based on the strategies used by carers to support people with dementia to live well in the commu…
Model of Engaging Communities Collaboratively
The Model of Engaging Communities Collaboratively was developed with the integration of literature reviews in cultural adaptation approaches, engagement and implementation approaches; and international Indigenous feedback to inform the processes of implementing evidence-based practices (EBP) with Indigenous populations. This model synthesises the collective strengths of these approaches and feedback and provides checklists for practicality of use…
Openness, inclusion and transparency in the practice of public involvement in research
CONTEXT: Reflective accounts of public involvement in research (PI) are important for helping researchers plan and deliver more effective PI activities. In particular, there is a need to address power differentials between team members that can prohibit effective and meaningful involvement. OBJECTIVE: To critically reflect on the PI practices that underpinned our research project on intimacy and sexuality in care homes, to develop a series of rec…
We've had our sex life way back’
Older care home residents are excluded from the sexual imaginary. Based on a consultative study involving interviews with three residents, three female spouses of residents and two focus groups of care home staff (N = 16), making an overall sample of 22 study participants, we address the neglected subject of older residents' sexuality and intimacy needs. Using thematic analysis, we highlight how residents’ and spouses’ accounts of sexuality and i…
Old(er) care home residents and sexual/intimate citizenship
Sexuality and intimacy in care homes for older people are overshadowed by concern with prolonging physical and/or psychological autonomy. When sexuality and intimacy have been addressed in scholarship, this can reflect a sexological focus concerned with how to continue sexual activity with reduced capacity. We review the (Anglophone) academic and practitioner literatures bearing on sexuality and intimacy in relation to older care home residents (…

Quality improvement by promoting relationships in care environments
Person centred services are becoming the norm across developed countries with the concomitant ageing of the generation known as the baby boomers. Older people associated with this generation are more consumer-oriented and have higher expectations of services as they age. Service provision is being developed in many countries, including Singapore, to reflect a person centred approach. Although there are a number of frameworks for person centred ca…
Enhancing integration of care in Singapore
Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) in partnership with University of Manchester (UoM) deliver a post registration Degree Programme that incrementally supports Registered Nurses(RNs) in developing the skills to lead changes in Singapore health care. An important aspect of this programme is to prepare RNs to manage the increasing number of people living with Long Term Conditions (LTCs) in Singapore. The aim of the module (Long Term Care Pathwa…
Developing personal relationships in care homes
Personal relationships are an integral part of living, working and visiting in care homes, but little research has made relationships the main focus of enquiry, and there have been few studies of the perspectives of residents, staff and family members. The study reported here sought to redress this neglect. Using a constructivist approach, the nature and types of relationships between residents, staff and family members were explored in three car…
Developing community in care homes through a relationship-centred approach
Within the literature, the formation of therapeutic relationships between professionals, older people and others significant to them in their lives has been considered as central to current care philosophies. Furthermore, relationships between staff, residents and their families have emerged within the literature as fundamental to the experiences of life within the community of a care home. This paper reports part of a wider study that explored r…
