Components of a community model of dementia palliative care

PurposeThe Model for Dementia Palliative Care Project will develop a service-delivery model for community-based dementia palliative care. Many countries provide dementia palliative care services, albeit with considerable variability within these. However, little is known about what service providers consider to be the most important components of a dementia palliative care model. This study aimed to address this knowledge gap.Design/methodology/approachAn exploratory design using a survey method was used as an initial phase of the wider project. A web-based survey was developed, piloted (n = 5), revised, and distributed within five healthcare jurisdictions: the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, England, Scotland, and Wales. The target population was health and social care professionals, policymakers, and academics interested in dementia and palliative care. Content analysis of open-ended questions identified common themes; descriptive statistics were applied to the closed-ended questions.FindingsOverall, N = 112 complete surveys were received. Key care principles incorporated the philosophies of palliative care and dementia care; many described “holistic” and “person-centred care” as the core. Important individual service components were the support for carers, advanced care planning, information, education and training, activities for “meaningful living”, comprehensive disease management, coordinated case management, and linking with community health services and social activities. Barriers included poor availability and organisation of healthcare services, stigma, misconceptions around dementia prognosis, insufficiently advanced care planning, and dementia-related challenges to care. Facilitators included education, carer support, and therapeutic relationships.Originality/valueThis study, as part of the larger project, will directly inform the development of a novel service delivery Model of Dementia Palliative Care for Ireland. The results can also inform service planning and design in other countries.

Older Lesbians' experiences of ageing in place in rural Tasmania, Australia: An exploratory qualitative investigation.

While there is increasing awareness of the specific health and aged care needs of older lesbian and gay people, little is known about their needs and experiences of ageing in rural communities. In Australia, older people are over-represented in regional and rural areas, however, rural communities face particular challenges to age friendliness, including infrastructure and transport limitations, reduced health and social services. In this context, few studies explore older lesbians' gendered experiences of ageing in place. To address this gap in the literature, this article draws on qualitative interviews with 13 rural Tasmanian lesbians over the age of 55, exploring their perceived barriers and enablers for 'healthy ageing' in their communities. Findings reveal that geographical isolation was a literal barrier to accessing specialist healthcare and lesbian-inclusive services, which may be absent in rural areas. The women perceived community health initiatives and social activities aimed at 'healthy ageing' in rural towns as heteronormative and unappealing for lesbians. In some cases women reported experiencing homophobic discrimination in these social groups. In contrast, rural communities were positively associated with a good quality of life derived from closeness to nature and feelings of reciprocity with rural neighbours and communities. These findings suggest that specific approaches to lesbian-inclusive rural health and social care are required. Rural communities are well-placed to build on community strengths to ensure higher quality of place-based health and social care for isolated older people, including those of diverse genders and sexualities.

The level of individual participation of community in implementing effective solid waste management policies

It is crucial to achieve effective solid waste management involving not only formal/government agencies, but also individual/informal/voluntary actions in order to create a healthy environment. This study conducted to unveil the factors that increase individuals’ community participation in solid waste management policy. The data were matched with a literature review on existing waste policies to identify gaps in knowledge, which could provide beneficial policy recommendations for the Jakarta Provincial Government. The ordinary least squares regression and Indonesian family life survey data were used. The respondents’ waste handling and participation scores with potentially affected variables were calculated and regressed. Out of 1.791 respondents, the regression revealed that the participation of individuals from Jakarta is influenced by 1) the frequency of their involvement in social community activities, 2) their education level, and 3) per capita expenditure. The solid waste management score increased by 0.233 if the respondents were more socially active, with a participation score of 1. Empowerment had a 0.06 coefficient correlation relative to the waste handling score. According to the broader sample of 28.967 respondents from large cities in Indonesia. It was concluded that individuals’ participation could be enhanced by hosting various social activities at the grassroots level. The study’s gaps show that the Jakarta Provincial Government has a high propensity towards increasing individuals’ participation in solid waste management by maximizing control of the factors mentioned above (especially empowerment), as well as by raising the frequency of citizens’ involvement in social community activities at the grassroots level.

191 A Multi-Country Survey to Explore What Key Stakeholders Consider to be Important in a Model of Dementia Palliative Care

Abstract Background The Model for Dementia Palliative Care Project will develop a service delivery model for community-based dementia palliative care in Ireland. This responds to palliative care now being recognised as a priority in care for people with dementia. Various dementia palliative care services exist internationally, however little is known about what the service providers would deem to be the most important aspects of service provision. The aim of this study was to identify what key stakeholders consider to be essential components of a model of dementia palliative care. Methods A web-based survey was developed, piloted (n=5), and revised. It was distributed electronically within five healthcare jurisdictions, in the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, England, Scotland, and Wales. The target population was healthcare professionals, policy-makers, and academics, with an interest in dementia and palliative care. Content analysis of open ended questions was used to identify common themes within the data. Results Complete surveys were received from 112 stakeholders. The majority of respondents were female (86%). Identified key principles of care incorporated the philosophies of palliative care and good dementia care, with many describing ‘holistic’ and ‘person-centred care’ as core. Important individual components were identified, including support for carers, advanced care planning, information, education and training, activities for ‘meaningful living’, comprehensive disease management, coordinated case management, and linking in with community health services and social activities. Barriers to the model were identified at three levels: ‘(mis)understanding of dementia palliative care’, ‘application of dementia palliative care’ and ‘wider service organisation’. Conclusion Numerous components of a ‘good’ model were identified, along with possible barriers to implementation of the model. This study, as part of the larger project, will inform a model of dementia palliative care for the Irish Healthcare system with the potential to improve the experiences of people with dementia and their families.

The role of reward and task demand in value-based strategic allocation of auditory comprehension effort

ObjectivesListeners who fail to optimize their allocation of effort during auditory comprehension tasks can experience from compromised performance, fatigue and stress, which might result in reduced engagement in social communication activities. Strategically allocating effort based on costs and perceived benefits are commonly observed in the research of effortful physical and visual behaviors. Whether people manage their effort in a similar manner in audition remains unclear. As the listening performance of people with normal hearing often serves as the goal of auditory rehabilitation for people with hearing loss, this study evaluated how strategy-induced effort allocation, challenged by reward and task demand, interactively impacted auditory comprehension in normal hearing adults. DesignA value-based strategic effort allocation paradigm was evaluated in 40 normal-hearing young adults. The paradigm included five levels of reward (motivation) and five levels of task demand (speech rate) that were independently manipulated. Effects of reward and task demand on performance accuracy and pupil dilation (a measure of auditory comprehension effort) were examined. ResultsThere was a significant interaction effect of reward and task demand on both pupil dilation and comprehension accuracy. At the response stage of speech comprehension processing, pupil dilation significantly decreased as the task demand increased at high reward levels. In contrast, pupil dilation did not vary significantly as a function of task demand at low reward levels. Reward significantly improved performance accuracy at fast and extremely fast rate conditions, but not at the slower rates. ConclusionsConsistent with previous studies on effort regulation, reward and task demand appear to be associated with auditory comprehension effort allocation in an interactive manner when strategic effort control was required to achieve a reward goal. The young normal-hearing listeners in this study prioritized their effort to relatively easy task items over difficult ones at high levels of reward, suggesting a cost-effective value-based strategic effort allocation. Reward significantly improved task performance in terms of accuracy at difficult listening conditions. These findings support the incorporation of affective factors (e.g., reward) and the utility of the value-based strategic effort allocation paradigm in the experimental setting to understand how clinically relevant factors (such as hearing loss and age) might change strategic auditory comprehension behavior.

Students' Social Involvement in the Community: Satisfaction, Motivations and Long-Term Influences

The objective of the current research was to examine the satisfaction derived from, motivations for and long-term effects of social activity in the community carried out by students under academic sponsorship. Participants were fifty-eight undergraduate students who had completed their BA degrees at the Max Stern Yezreel Valley College in Israel. During their studies, all participants took a course of social involvement in the community, aimed to benefit disadvantaged populations (children and adolescents at risk, and children, adolescents and adults with disabilities and special needs). Participants were asked to complete two questionnaires: one examining their motivations for engaging in volunteer social activity in the community, and the other examining the long-term influences of this activity. The findings show that most of the participants derived high satisfaction from their social activity. No significant correlations were found between satisfaction and motivation for community social activity (egoistic/altruistic/materialistic). The long-term influences of community social activity were expressed primarily in terms of achieving personal gains. In examination the correlations between different types of motivations and long-term effects of the social activity, it was found that each of the examined motives exerted a positive effect, with altruistic motive showing a certain advantage. We also found that women expressed higher satisfaction from their social activity in the community, compared to men. Research findings can serve as a basis for initial assessment of community social activity as carried out in an academic setting and can reinforce and encourage academic institutions in continuing to support such noteworthy activities.

The associations of frailty with regular participation in physical, cultural, and community social activities among independent elders in Japan

Objective The goal of the study was to assess the relationships of the frequency (more than one time per week) of various activities to frailty among independent elderly people in Japan.Methods Survey data were collected from 73,341 community-dwelling elders who were not certified as Needing Long-Term Care. Basic checklist survey items developed by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare were used along with exhaustive items on the weekly physical, cultural, community, and volunteer activities of the respondents. The effects of the frequencies of each activity with and without frailty were estimated. The relationship between frailty and pre-frailty was analyzed in a multinomial logistic regression model regarding involvement in activities and controlling for the effects of gender, age, and with non-frailty as a reference category.Results Data on 49,238 individuals in the study area not certified as Needing Long-Term Care (24,632 males and 24,606 females), corresponding to 67% of all elderly (aged 65 or more years) Japanese people were analyzed. About 65.9% of the respondents reported that they engaged in physical activities, 78.8% reported cultural activities, and 14.9% reported community social activities. The percentages classified as frail and pre-frail were 12.8% and 22.7%, respectively. All of the activities significantly related to frailty. The adjusted odds ratio (95% CI) of frailty among the respondents that engaged in all the types of activity was: 2.19 (1.71, 2.80) among those that reported no physical activities, 1.48 (0.91, 2.43) among those with no cultural activities, and 2.09 (1.80, 2.44) among those with no community social activities. The adjusted odds ratio on frailty for the three groups reporting one type of activity ranged from 5.40 to 6.42, which was statistically significant, and the adjusted odds ratio on the group reporting no activities was 16.41 (14.02, 19.21). These results indicate that the extent of frailty increased as the number of activities decreased.Conclusions This cross-sectional study found that frailty among elders in Japan was separately associated with participation in cultural activities, social community activities, and physical activities. Frailty was more severe among those with less participation. This result suggests that, for elders who find it difficult to participate in physical activities, engaging in cultural or community social activities might help to prevent or delay frailty.

Perceptions of community safety and social activity participation among youth in South Africa.

BackgroundCrime and violence causes massive disruptions to the health, survival and development of populations. In South Africa, incredibly high rates of crime and violence are noted. The country also has a very large youth population whose health, survival and development are key to economic growth. Among other efforts to encourage healthy youth development and the promotion of social activities such as sports, youth groups, choirs and so forth. This study examines the relationship between perceived community safety and the uptake of social activities among youth in South Africa.Data and methodsThis paper uses data from the National Youth Lifestyle Survey (2008) with an unweighted sample of 4,391 youth (age12-22 years old). Using chi-square and logistic regression analysis the association between perceived community safety and social activity participation are tested.FindingsThe results indicate that youth participation in social activities in South Africa is high (55% of males and 45% of females). Among males, the most prominent activity is sports (51.8%), while for females there is high participation in choir and singing groups (55.68%). More than 50% of males perceive their communities as risky while less than half of females feel the same. Male youth are more likely to participate in social activities if they perceive their communities as risky (OR = 1.04). Females (OR = 0.83), youth have a negative view of their future (OR = 0.43) are less likely to participate in social activities.ConclusionsThere exists an association between youth’s perception of community safety and their participation in social activities. Whether sports and groups are protective or enabling environments for youth from unsafe communities is moot. More in-depth research is needed on why youth participate in these clubs and groups to truly understand the role of social activities in South African societies.
