Continuing Care

Continuing Care

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,...

Long-term Depression

Long-term Depression

Long-term depression, or LTD, is one of the ways by which synaptic plasticity—changes in the strength of chemical synapses—can occur in the brain. LTD is the process of synaptic weakening that occurs over time between pre and postsynaptic neuronal connections. The synaptic weakening of LTD works in opposition to synaptic strengthening by long-term potentiation (LTP) and together are the main mechanisms that underlie learning and memory.

Longitudinal Research

Longitudinal Research

Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...

Half-life of a Reaction

Half-life of a Reaction

The half-life of a reaction (t1/2) is the time required for one-half of a given amount of reactant to be consumed. In each succeeding half-life, half of the remaining concentration of the reactant is consumed. For example, during the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide, during the first half-life (from 0.00 hours to 6.00 hours), the concentration of H2O2 decreases from 1.000 M to 0.500 M. During the second half-life (from 6.00 hours to 12.00 hours), the concentration decreases from 0.500 M to...

Background:

Recalling the December 1968 Postgraduate Training School (PTS) cohort at Crumpsall Hospital (North Manchester Hospital).
Identifying and reconnecting with former nursing trainees from this specific cohort.

Purpose of the Study:

To facilitate a reunion for nurses who completed their training in December 1968.
To foster professional connections and reminisce among former colleagues.

Main Methods:

Contacting former members of the December 1968 PTS nursing cohort.
Organizing a 20-year reunion event.

Main Results:

Six former nurses have been successfully contacted.
Planning is underway for a reunion event.

Conclusions:

The initial stages of reconnecting the December 1968 PTS nursing cohort are progressing positively.
Efforts are ongoing to ensure a successful reunion for these healthcare professionals.
