Abstract

Objectives The aim of this study was to refine a draft of the ACTiON FALLS LD programme based on the views of adults with an intellectual disability (AWID), carers and healthcare professionals (HCPs).Design, setting and participants The semistructured interview study included HCP as well as AWID and carers supporting AWID living in the community. Community settings included sheltered living, supported living, AWID living at home with family carers or independently. The interview study explored the first draft of the ACTiON FALLS LD programme as well as the wider falls management for AWID. Interviews with AWID were developed to include a range of approaches (eg, case studies, pictures) to support inclusive participation. Individual interviews were digitally recorded and transcribed. Researcher notes were used during interviews with AWID. All data were analysed using the principles of framework analysis.Results 14 HCP, 8 carers and 13 AWID took part in the interview process. Five key themes were identified: programme components, programme design, programme approach, who would use the programme and programme delivery.Conclusions The views of AWID, HCP and carers showed the need to consider the impact of risk perception, anxiety and fear of falling in the adaption of the ACTiON FALLS programme. The programme needs to be accessible and support the inclusion of AWID in managing falls and ultimately fulfil the requirement for a proactive and educational tool by all.

Abstract

Objective: To explore the feasibility of implementing and evaluating the Guide to Action Care Home fall prevention intervention. Design: Two-centre, cluster feasibility randomized controlled trial and process evaluation. Setting: Purposive sample of six diverse old age/learning disability, long stay care homes in Nottinghamshire, UK. Subjects: Residents aged over 50 years, who had fallen at least once in the past year, not bed-bound, hoist-dependent or terminally ill. Interventions: Intervention homes ( n = 3) received Guide to Action Care Home fall prevention intervention training and support. Control homes ( n = 3) received usual care. Outcomes: Recruitment, attrition, baseline and six-month outcome completion, contamination and intervention fidelity, compliance, tolerability, acceptance and impact. Results: A total of 81 of 145 (56%) care homes expressed participatory interest. Six of 22 letter respondent homes (27%) participated. The expected resident recruitment target was achieved by 76% (52/68). Ten (19%) residents did not complete follow-up (seven died, three moved). In intervention homes 36/114 (32%) staff attended training. Two of three (75%) care homes received protocol compliant training. Staff valued the training, but advised greater management involvement to improve intervention implementation. Fall risks were assessed, actioned and recorded in care records. Of 115 recorded falls, 533/570 (93%) of details were complete. Six-month resident fall rates were 1.9 and 4.0 per year for intervention and control homes, respectively. Conclusions: The Guide to Action Care Home is implementable under trial conditions. Recruitment and follow-up rates indicate that a definitive trial can be completed. Falls (primary outcome) can be ascertained reliably from care records.

Abstract

There is wide variation in the use of red cell transfusions for the same clinical indication. The purpose of the study was to comment on preoperative and discharge haemoglobin (Hb) levels and perioperative blood loss, and to project the Hb level if transfusions were not administered.The case notes of 187 patients who underwent primary total knee replacement were reviewed retrospectively.More than 90% of the transfusions were given in the immediate postoperative period as a matter of routine and a significant number of transfusions appeared to be unnecessary.For surgical procedures involving moderate blood loss, transfusions should not be given as a routine and the decision to transfuse should take into consideration the clinical state of the patient, blood loss and pre- and postoperative Hb levels.

Abstract

The effects of token reinforcement upon the grooming behavior of seven deinstitutionalized mentally retarded adults were examined. The project was conducted in a community-based program which provided the "least restrictive" environment. A multiple baseline design across subjects was utilized. Substantial increases in grooming behavior were recorded under the token reinforcement condition. Analysis of individual subject data revealed that each demonstrated a positive change. Interpretations of the data were confounded by intersubject variability noted in baseline and in the rate of acquisition of grooming behavior. Variables potentially related to this intersubject variability were enumerated and discussed. The general applicability of the present token program and the need for additional research with deinstitutionalized populations in community-based programs were emphasized.
