Dementia01:30

Dementia

709
Dementia is a collective term for cognitive disorders primarily affecting memory, thinking, and reasoning. It is not a specific disease but a syndrome, with Alzheimer's disease being the most common cause, accounting for approximately 60-80% of cases. Other types include vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, and frontotemporal dementia. Dementia affects millions worldwide, particularly older adults, though it is not a normal part of aging.
The progression of dementia is generally gradual....

Continuing Care01:25

Continuing Care

2.1K
Continuing care describes the variety of health, personal, and social services provided over a prolonged period. The need for continuing care is increasing because people are living longer. Many people do not have families or others to care for them. Continuing care is mainly for patients who are disabled, functionally dependent, or suffering from a terminal disease. It is available within institutional settings or in homes. Examples include nursing centers or facilities, assisted living,...

Restorative Care01:19

Restorative Care

2.5K
Restorative care is provided once a patient has been discharged from a healthcare facility and requires additional services. The additional services include home care, rehabilitation programs, and extended care. Restorative care centers help the patient regain their previous level of functioning or acquire a new level of functioning due to the incapacitating effects of a disease or a disability. It aims to assist patients in enhancing their quality of life by encouraging independence,...

Handwashing I: Introduction and Types of Equipment

5.3K
Handwashing is hand hygiene with plain or antimicrobial soap and water to physically remove dirt, organic material, and microorganisms. However, it may not kill all microorganisms. The handwashing procedure requires a hand wash basin, liquid soap, paper towels, a domestic waste bin, and disposable nail cleaner as optional equipment.
Hand wash basins in clinical areas should have faucets that can be turned on and off without using the hands; that is, they should be non-touch or lever-operated....

Techniques of therapeutic communication I: Active Listening, Sharing Observations, Validation, and Using Touch

9.0K
The history of therapeutic communication can be traced back to Florence Nightingale, who emphasized the importance of developing trusting relationships with patients. She taught that the presence of nurses with patients results in therapeutic healing.
Therapeutic communication is not the same as social interaction. Social interaction has no goal or purpose and consists of casual information sharing, whereas therapeutic communication has a plan or purpose for the conversation. Therapeutic...

    Area of Science:

    • Gerontology
    • Nursing Science
    • Rehabilitation Medicine

    Background:

    • Bathing disability is a significant indicator of functional decline in older adults.
    • This decline predicts subsequent admission to long-term care facilities after hospitalization.
    • Assessing bathing challenges is crucial for hospitalized older persons, especially those with dementia.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the importance of assessing bathing disability in hospitalized older adults.
    • To emphasize the role of nurses in identifying and managing bathing challenges.
    • To support maximal functional performance and inform bathing strategy implementation.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing literature on bathing disability and functional decline in older adults.
    • Analysis of nursing challenges in assessing bathing in hospitalized populations.
    • Exploration of strategies to support functional performance during bathing.

    Main Results:

    • Bathing disability serves as a predictor for long-term care placement post-hospitalization.
    • Nurses face challenges in accurately assessing bathing needs in older patients, including those with dementia.
    • Effective assessment is key to enabling patients' functional independence.

    Conclusions:

    • Addressing bathing disability is essential for improving outcomes in hospitalized older adults.
    • Nurses require enhanced skills and tools to effectively assess and manage bathing needs.
    • Tailored bathing strategies can promote functional independence and potentially reduce long-term care admissions.
