Nursing Older People
|July 29, 2008
Summary
Healthcare reforms necessitate expanded nursing roles for elder care. A new education model addresses diverse care settings and training sustainability for sick and disabled older adults.
Area of Science:
- Gerontology
- Healthcare Management
- Nursing Education
Background:
- Increasing numbers of sick and disabled older people present challenges for healthcare providers.
- Demographic trends and healthcare service reforms require adaptable resources and expanded nursing roles.
- The changing needs of older adults necessitate strategic adjustments in health services.
Purpose of the Study:
- To devise an education model for nursing staff to meet the demands of elder care.
- To address the need for skill attainment in diverse care settings.
- To improve the sustainability of nursing training.
Main Methods:
- Conducted an education and training needs analysis of nursing staff.
- Developed a model for skill attainment based on identified demands.
- Considered reforms in Ireland as a contextual background.
Main Results:
- A model for skill attainment was devised, acknowledging diverse care settings.
- The model aims to improve the sustainability of nursing training.
- Advantages and disadvantages of the model were discussed.
Conclusions:
- The proposed education model is crucial for meeting the needs of older people.
- The expansion of the nursing role is vital in adapting to demographic changes.
- Lessons learned from developing and discussing the model offer insights for future training initiatives.

01:26Modeling in Therapy
Modeling, a key technique in therapy, uses observational learning to help clients acquire and practice new skills by watching therapists demonstrate desired behaviors. This approach, rooted in Albert Bandura's concept of vicarious learning, plays a significant role in therapeutic interventions for various psychological conditions, including social anxiety, ADHD, and depression.

01:24Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching I: Assessment and Diagnosis
The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.

01:24Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching II: Planning and Implementation
Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about insulin...
01:20Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching III: Evaluation and Documentation
Evaluation of the teaching process enables the nurse to determine if the patient's learning needs were met and if training was effective. If the expected outcomes are not met, the care plan is revised, and additional education or reinforcement is provided. Nurses can ask questions after the session or obtain feedback to assess the patient's understanding of the topic.
Nurses can use several methods to evaluate patient outcomes. For example, oral questions can assess cognitive learning, patient...

01:11Clinical Trials: Overview
Clinical development focuses on how the drug will interact with the human body and encompasses four key phases of clinical trials, each serving a specific purpose in assessing the safety and effectiveness of new drugs. These phases overlap and build upon one another. Phase I involves a small group of healthy volunteers (typically 20-80 individuals) or, in cases where significant toxicity is expected, patients with the targeted disease, such as cancer or AIDS. The volunteers are tested for...
01:16Clinical Trials
Clinical trials are prospective experimental studies conducted on humans to determine the safety and efficacy of treatments, drugs, diet methods, and medical devices. Using statistics in clinical trials enables researchers to derive reasonable and accurate conclusions from the collected data, allowing them to make wise decisions in uncertain situations. In medical research, statistical methods are crucial for preventing errors and bias.
