Report on visits in hospices located in Osnabrück/Germany and the Saint Cristopher’s Hospice in London/United
Kingdom; and present a discussion about the care mode. Methods: Experience report based on a post-doctoral research period
in Germany between November 2013 and October 2014, funded by the CAPES Foundation (Coordination for the Improvement of
Higher Education Personnel). Results: The structure, operation mode of the institutions and the main labor force were discussed,
especially the nursing staff and volunteers’ participation, the main care activities and challenges. These issues were very similar
at the hospices, highlighting the hospice responsible for spreading this moviment worldwide. Conclusion: The hospice may be
the place of death, but it provides a pleasant environment that preserves the person’s individuality and autonomy. It relies on the
participation of volunteers, dissemination of its idea and training programs, which ensure the strengthening of this movement.
Der vorliegende Bericht fasst die Ergebnisse der durch den Sozialverband VdK in Auftrag gegebenen Pflegestudie „Wunsch und Wirklichkeit in der häuslichen Pflege“ zusammen. Viele Menschen haben dazu beigetragen, dass die Studie durchgeführt werden konnte. An erster Stelle und vor allem sei den Menschen herzlich gedankt, die sich an der Befragung beteiligt haben. Mehr als 50.000 Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmer haben jegliche Erwartung zur Teilnahme an der Studie deutlich übertroffen.
Die häusliche Pflege hat eine kontinuierlich hohe gesundheitswirtschaftliche, gesamtgesellschaftliche wie auch individuelle Bedeutung. Angehörige pflegebedürftiger Menschen benötigen eine bedürfnisorientierte und qualitätsgesicherte Unterstützung bei der häuslichen Pflege. Vor diesem Hintergrund ist zu fragen, welche Evidenz zu Unterstützungsangeboten im Sinne von "Respite Care" für Angehörige vorzufinden ist. Die vorliegende Literaturanalyse bezieht deutsche Studien ein und liefert ausgewählte Ansatzpunkte für den Aufbau, die Evaluation und Weiterentwicklung von Angeboten. Es konnten Bedingungen der Inanspruchnahme, Formen, mögliche Qualitätskriterien und Hinweise zur Wirkung von "Respite Care" bzw. Unterstützung identifiziert werden. Auf Basis der Ergebnisse sollten die Unterstützungsangebote mit Angehörigen gezielt abgestimmt und zukünftig anhand unterschiedlicher Forschungsdesigns überprüft werden.
Objective: To understand the significance of healthy living for users, professionals and managers of the Family Health Strategy (FHS) team.
Methods: Research of a qualitative nature, based on grounded theory. For data collection, interviews were conducted with 25 participants, including users, professionals and managers of a FHS team, during the period between March and December, 2009. Results: The collection and analysis of data was conducted in a systematic and comparative manner, demonstrating that healthy living can be characterized as a selforganizing process, mediated by the action of the FHS team professionals, especially by the community health agent, through creation of bonds of trust and stimulation of interactions and community associations. Conclusion: We concluded that healthy living is a singular phenomenon, complex, interactive, associative, political and social, coupled with the active involvement and participation of the users and by the engagement of effective and socially responsible professionals, managers and established political authorities.
Objective: to understand the meaning of the Adult Intensive Care Unit environment of care,
experienced by professionals working in this unit, managers, patients, families and professional
support services, as well as build a theoretical model about the Adult Intensive Care Unit
environment of care. Method: Grounded Theory, both for the collection and for data analysis.
Based on theoretical sampling, we carried out 39 in-depth interviews semi-structured from
three different Adult Intensive Care Units. Results: built up the so-called substantive theory
“Sustaining life in the complex environment of care in the Intensive Care Unit”. It was bounded
by eight categories: “caring and continuously monitoring the patient” and “using appropriate
and differentiated technology” (causal conditions); “Providing a suitable environment” and
“having relatives with concern” (context); “Mediating facilities and difficulties” (intervenienting
conditions); “Organizing the environment and managing the dynamics of the unit” (strategy)
and “finding it difficult to accept and deal with death” (consequences). Conclusion: confirmed
the thesis that “the care environment in the Intensive Care Unit is a living environment, dynamic
and complex that sustains the life of her hospitalized patients”.
Objective: To understand the meaning of the Learning Incubator as a teaching and learning technology in the nursing area.
Method: Qualitative research, supported by grounded theory. Data was collected from March to November 2019, through interviews with guiding questions and hypotheses directed at two different groups. The analysis was done by comparative data analysis and included open, axial and integrated coding, as proposed by the method. The theoretical sample included 23 participants, which were nurses, technicians, and nursing students.
Results: The delimitation of the categories converged in the phenomenon (Re)signifying knowledge and practices in the Learning Incubator. Guided by the paradigmatic model, the categories were named according to the three following components: Condition: Recognizing that the being and the professional practice are inextricable; Action/interaction: Revisiting professional practices that are repetitive and mechanic; Consequence: Referring to the reflections and knowledge constructed in the Learning Incubator.
Conclusion: The Learning Incubator, as seen by the study participants, is not limited to the Incubator meetings or the themes addressed in it. Beyond a welcoming physical space, the Incubator expands itself and becomes a tool that promotes self-reflection and self-assessment of professional behaviors and attitudes.
Aims and Objectives:
Preventive home visits are a low-threshold counselling and support approach. They have been reported to achieve heterogeneous effects. However, preventive home visits have the potential to reduce the risk of becoming dependent on long-term care. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of preventive home visits as a nursing intervention on health-related quality of life of older people in a longitudinal survey and to develop recommendations for which target groups preventive home visits have the highest benefit. The sample consisted of 75 people, aged between 65 and 85, who were able to understand and speak German, had not yet been eligible for benefits from the long-term care insurance and lived in the municipality under study.
Methodological Design and Justification:
A quantitative longitudinal study in order to investigate the effects of preventive home visits.
Ethical Issues and Approval:
There were no ethical concerns. Accordingly, ethical approval was granted.
Research Methods, Results and Conclusions:
The health-related quality of life was recorded four times between 01/2017 and 08/2020 with the Short-Form- Health- Survey- 12 and analysed using descriptive statistics. Results reveal that the physical health status cannot be easily influenced over a short period of time. The main effect, however, is that preventive home visits have a significant positive effect on the mental health status. The main topics during the home visits were mobility, nutrition and social participation. Increased knowledge and motivation for preventive behaviour extended the autonomy of older people. Accordingly, preventive home visits can support a self-determined life in a familiar environment. The results of the present study show that preventive home visits as a nursing intervention in rural areas are successful. In Germany, preventive home visits have not yet been implemented on a regular basis. In order to do so, a general definition of the concept is needed. Preventive home visits should be officially included in the regular health care services in Germany.
Objective:
To understand the meaning of entrepreneurial nursing care as inducer of healthy practices in vulnerable communities.
Method:
Grounded theory, whose data collection took place between March and December 2019, from interviews with 19 participants from the central region of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil and comparative data analysis.
Results:
The phenomenon was delimited: Experiencing small/big transformations in the invisibility of everyday life in promoting healthy practices in vulnerable communities. Conducted by the paradigmatic model, the categories were named based on the components: Condition: Making choices and negotiating non-negotiable exchanges; Action/interaction: Motivating oneself to maintain basic human needs; Consequence: Broadening perspectives and transcending personal and collective boundaries.
Conclusion:
Entrepreneurial nursing care as inducer of healthy practices in vulnerable communities is not reduced to a scientific theory or to the linear and decontextualized apprehension of healthy living, but extends to reach small/big transformations that occur in the invisibility of everyday life.
