Summary
This study developed a shared cognition education model for nursing home function-focused care (FFC). It enhances interdisciplinary team skills and attitudes for better resident care outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Gerontology
- Healthcare Education
- Interdisciplinary Care
Background:
- Nursing home (NH) environments require effective function-focused care (FFC).
- A shared cognition-based education model is crucial for maintaining FFC.
- Developing an education model using shared mental models (SMM) is key for NHs.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore healthcare professionals' perceptions of FFC education.
- To develop an education model for NHs utilizing SMM.
- To enhance interdisciplinary collaboration in NH settings.
Main Methods:
- Semi-structured interviews with 30 interdisciplinary practitioners (nurses, PTs, OTs, social workers).
- Focus group interviews with 12 experts.
- Content analysis of qualitative data, guided by SMM for interpretation.
Main Results:
- The FFC interdisciplinary educational model includes learning content, activities, goals/outcomes, and environment.
- Key SMM components identified: team, task, team interaction, and equipment.
- Educational content emphasizes team knowledge, skills (motivation, coaching, managing discomfort), and attitude towards FFC.
Conclusions:
- The developed model integrates four SMM types and key learning components for FFC education.
- Learning outcomes should assess both practitioners and residents' functional aspects.
- This shared cognition model aims to improve FFC delivery in nursing homes.
