What Is Important to Older People When Accessing Urgent Health Care
INTRODUCTION: Emergency departments (ED) worldwide are under pressure. Older people are disproportionally represented in ED, and many of these presentations are for nonlife-threatening ailments that could be attended to elsewhere. Urgent care services have been established to relieve ED pressures and may be a better alternative for older people with urgent but nonlife-threatening health issues. The purpose of this study was to understand the need…
From fear to hope
Dementia is a global public health concern and has been identified as a key health concern among older people. A diagnosis of dementia and the subsequent symptoms associated with dementia progression can be distressing for both people with dementia and their loved ones, and people may experience significant fear around dementia diagnosis. This can lead to stigmatisation of dementia. Topics related to dementia are frequently covered by the news me…
Cross‐sector learning collaboratives can improve post‐diagnosis care integration for people with young onset dementia
Post-diagnosis young onset dementia (YOD) care is often fragmented, with services delivered across aged care, healthcare, and social care sectors. The aim of this project was to test the feasibility and potential effectiveness of a learning collaborative implementation strategy for improving the cross-sector integration of care for people with YOD and to generate data to refine the implementation strategy for scaleup. We conducted a longitudinal …
The decision‐making processes and preferences of older Australians purchasing home support services
Consumer‐directed care (CDC) programmes, in principle, provide consumers with choices around who provides care services to them, what services and when. However, literature around consumer behaviour of older adults, especially concerning the factors that may support home care choices, is sparse. The purpose of this study was to understand the decision‐making processes and spending preferences of community‐dwelling seniors assessed eligible for CD…
Public perspectives on acquired brain injury rehabilitation and components of care
BACKGROUND: Brain injury rehabilitation is an expensive and long-term endeavour. Very little published information or debate has underpinned policy for service delivery in Australia. Within the context of finite health budgets and the challenges associated with providing optimal care to persons with brain injuries, members of the public were asked 'What considerations are important to include in a model of care of brain injury rehabilitation?' ME…
Primary care practitioners’ perspectives of discharge communication and continuity of care for stroke survivors in Australia
Discharge communication is an important component of care transition between hospitals and community care, particularly for the complex needs of stroke survivors. Despite international research and regulation, ineffective information exchange during care transitions continues to compromise patient outcomes. Primary care practitioners are increasingly responsible for the provision of stroke care in the community, yet it is not known how their role…
Implementing an evidence‐based dementia care program in the Australian health context
The World Health Organisation has called for the implementation of evidence-based interventions that enhance function and capability in people with dementia. In response, the Boosting Dementia Research Initiative in Australia has funded a number of projects aimed at improving such outcomes for people with dementia and their caregivers. What is not known is the economic and societal outcomes of these projects and of program implementation to the A…
Economic evaluations of occupational therapy approaches for people with cognitive and/or functional decline
A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Comparing Carer Focused and Dyadic Multicomponent Interventions for Carers of People With Dementia
Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of two approaches: multicomponent interventions that focus on working with the carer and dyadic interventions that work with both the carer and the person with dementia. Method: A systematic review involving a search of Medline, EMBASE, and PsycINFO in October 2015 was performed. Randomized controlled trials involving carers of people with dementia and comparing multicomponent intervent…
