10. "It's a lonely battle": A qualitative study of older adult Canadians' experiences with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease medication adherence and support.

Author

Skerry, Leanne, Kervin, Emily, Freeze, Tracy A., Brillant, Andrew, Woodland, Jennifer, and Hanson, Natasha

Abstract

Background: Medication adherence is critical for optimal management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and is influenced by patient, treatment and societal factors. Currently, little is known about the patient perspectives of older adult Canadians with COPD regarding medication adherence. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore the lived experiences of older Canadian adults with COPD regarding medication adherence and management. Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 20 community-dwelling older adults with COPD, and iterative thematic analysis was performed. Results: Six themes emerged from these data: (1) continuity of care, (2) importance of pharmacy for information and care, (3) medication self-management, (4) "there needs to be more information," (5) drug costs a concern and (6) "it's a lonely battle." Conclusion: Findings suggested a need for improved continuity of care, disease-related information provision and means of addressing psychosocial needs. Holistic approaches to patient education and self-management, with consideration for varying health literacy, are needed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

14. Investigating areas for improvement in the transition from hospital-to-home for frail older adults: A mixed methods study

Abstract

Background The planning and execution of discharge plans to successfully transition frail older adults from hospital-to-home can be a complicated endeavour.Objective To identify areas for improvement in the transitional process of frail older adults who were discharged from hospital based, geriatric units to their homes in the community.Method A prospective multi-phased mixed methods design was used, and cross-case thematic analysis of Phase 2 data were triangulated with Phase 1 findings.Results Thematic analysis findings indicated several related areas of importance within the transitional process: 1) Coordination of discharge; 2) Transition-to-home planning; 3) Home and community care; 4) Following of recommendations; and, 5) Medical follow-up.Conclusions Strengthening communication between stakeholders, as well as the implementation of harmonized policies and guidelines are needed to facilitate more consistent care delivery and provide patients and families with information on what to expect during the transitional process.

17. A systematic review examining whether community-based self-management programs for older adults with chronic conditions actively engage participants and teach them patient-oriented self-management strategies

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To identify whether community-based Self-Management Programs (SMPs) actively engaged, or taught, individuals patient-oriented strategies; and whether having these attributes led to significant differences in outcomes. METHODS: This systematic review included randomized controlled trials (RCTs)and cluster RCTs reporting on community-based SMPs with a group component for older adults with chronic conditions. The ways SMPS actively engaged participants and whether they taught patient-oriented strategies were analyzed. All study outcomes were reported. RESULTS: The 31 included studies demonstrated community-based SMP programs actively engaged participants and provided strategies to improve health behaviour or care of their condition. Few included strategies to help manage the impact of conditions on their everyday lives. Seventy-nine percent of studies reported significant differences; variations in sample sizes and outcomes made it difficult to conclude whether having these attributes led to significant differences. CONCLUSION: SMPs are not supporting older adults to use strategies to address the impact of conditions on their everyday lives, addressing the needs of older adults with multiple conditions, nor assessing outcomes that align with the strategies taught. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: Health-care providers delivering SMPs to older adults need to tailor programs to the needs of older adults and assess whether participants are using strategies being proposed.

20. Understanding the needs of caregivers of persons with dementia: a scoping review.

Queluz, Francine N. F. R., Kervin, Emily, Wozney, Lori, Fancey, Pamela, McGrath, Patrick J., and Keefe, Janice

Abstract

Background: The number of people living with dementia (PWD) is increasing worldwide, corresponding with an increasing number of caregivers for PWD. This study aims to identify and describe the literature surrounding the needs of caregivers of PWD and the solutions identified to meet these needs.Method: A literature search was performed in: PsycInfo, Medline, CINAHL, SCIELO and LILACS, January 2007-January 2018. Two independent reviewers evaluated 1,661 abstracts, and full-text screening was subsequently performed for 55 articles. The scoping review consisted of 31 studies, which were evaluated according to sociodemographic characteristics, methodological approach, and caregiver's experiences, realities, and needs. To help extract and organize reported caregiver needs, we used the C.A.R.E. Tool as a guiding framework.Results: Thirty-one studies were identified. The most common needs were related to personal health (58% emotional health; 32% physical health) and receiving help from others (55%). Solutions from the articles reviewed primarily concerned information gaps (55%) and the education/learning needs of caregivers (52%).Conclusion: This review identified the needs of caregivers of PWD. Caregivers' personal health emerged as a key area of need, while provision of information was identified as a key area of support. Future studies should explore the changes that occur in needs over the caregiving trajectory and consider comparing caregivers' needs across different countries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Background: Nav-CARE is a volunteer-led intervention designed to build upon strategic directions in palliative care: a palliative approach to care, a public health/compassionate community approach to care, and enhancing the capacity of volunteerism. Nav-CARE uses specially trained volunteers to provide lay navigation for older persons and family living at home with advanced chronic illness. The goal of this study was to better understand the implementation factors that influenced the utilization of Nav-CARE in eight diverse Canadian contexts. Methods: This was a Knowledge to Action study using the planned action cycle for Nav-CARE developed through previous studies. Participants were eight community-based hospice societies located in diverse geographic contexts and with diverse capacities. Implementation data was collected at baseline, midpoint, and endpoint using qualitative individual and group interviews. Field notes of all interactions with study sites were also used as part of the data set. Data was analyzed using qualitative descriptive techniques. The study received ethical approval from three university behavioural review boards. All participants provided written consent. Results: At baseline, stakeholders perceived Nav-CARE to be a good fit with the strategic directions of their organization by providing early palliative support, by facilitating outreach into the community and by changing the public perception of palliative care. The contextual factors that determined the ease with which Nav-CARE was implemented included the volunteer coordinator champion, organizational capacity and connection, the ability to successfully recruit older persons, and the adequacy of volunteer preparation and mentorship. Conclusions: This study highlighted the importance of community-based champions for the success of volunteer-led initiatives and the critical need for support and mentorship for both volunteers and those who lead them. Further, although the underutilization of hospice has been widely recognized, it is vital to recognize the limitations of their capacity. New initiatives such as Nav-CARE, which are designed to enhance their contributions to palliative care, need to be accompanied by adequate resources. Finally, this study illustrated the need to think carefully about the language and role of hospice societies as palliative care moves toward a public health approach to care.
