    Area of Science:

    • Geriatric Psychiatry
    • Nursing Administration
    • Long-Term Care

    Background:

    • Elderly individuals in long-term psychiatric care often face challenges in achieving optimal growth and social integration.
    • Traditional care models may not fully address the complex needs of this demographic.
    • A need exists for innovative, patient-centered programs to enhance quality of life and facilitate community reintegration.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness of a nurse-administrated program designed for elderly, long-term psychiatric hospitalized residents.
    • To explore the impact of staff dedication and environmental factors on resident progress.
    • To assess the program's success in promoting resident growth, social contact, and potential discharge.

    Main Methods:

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Implementation of a nurse-led program focusing on communication, trust-building, and creating a growth-conducive environment.
  • Empowering staff with the freedom to plan and execute care, moving away from traditional methods.
  • Monitoring resident adjustment, including decision-making and community placement outcomes.

    • Main Results:

    • The program fostered significant growth and well-being in a majority of residents, positively impacting hospital services.
    • Staff dedication, open communication, and a trusting relationship were key to the program's success.
    • 34 residents were discharged, with three more nearing discharge, demonstrating successful community reintegration for most.
    • Approximately 5% of residents placed in the community required readmission to the hospital.

    Conclusions:

    • Nurse-administrated programs, supported by dedicated staff and administrative backing, can significantly improve care for elderly, long-term psychiatric residents.
    • Fostering an environment of trust, acceptance, and social engagement is crucial for resident growth and successful outcomes.
    • While challenges exist for some residents in adjusting to increased responsibility and community living, the program demonstrates a high success rate in discharge and improved quality of life.
