Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients01:15

Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients

Elderly individuals encompass a diverse population with varying degrees of age-related physiological changes. Defining the elderly presents challenges, as the geriatric population is often arbitrarily categorized as individuals older than 65. However, many individuals in this group lead active and healthy lives, with an increasing number surpassing 85 years and falling into the older elderly category. Physiological changes associated with aging impact performance capacity and homeostatic...

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Nursing Practice
  • Health Services Research

Background:

  • Long-term care (LTC) settings present complex medication management challenges due to residents' conditions.
  • Licensed nurses in LTC require effective strategies to manage diverse treatment needs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore licensed nurses' experiences with medication management in long-term care.
  • To identify challenges and coping mechanisms in the medication management process.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative descriptive study involving 22 licensed nurses from 2 LTC facilities in Ontario, Canada.
  • Data collected through 4 focus groups.
  • Thematic content analysis used to develop a conceptual model.

Main Results:

  • The overarching theme identified was nurses
  • running the race
  • to manage medications.
  • Subthemes included preparing, running, and finishing the medication management process.
  • Key barriers identified: time restraints, knowledge gaps, interruptions, and poor communication.

Conclusions:

  • Findings highlight the critical time pressures faced by nurses in LTC medication management.
  • Addressing identified barriers is crucial for improving safe medication practices.
  • Results can inform healthcare providers and guide future research in LTC.
