Summary
Mobile geriatric outreach teams (EMGE) facilitate best practice sharing through workshops for caregivers in nursing homes. These sessions focus on practical skills, such as managing hearing aids and mastering medical terminology.
Area of Science:
- Gerontology
- Healthcare Education
- Communication Sciences
Context:
- Mobile geriatric outreach teams (EMGE) aim to disseminate best practices in elder care.
- Residential care facilities for the dependent elderly (Ehpad) require specialized caregiver training.
- Caregiver support is crucial for maintaining the quality of life for elderly residents.
Purpose:
- To equip caregivers in nursing homes with practical skills for managing hearing aid technology.
- To enhance caregivers' understanding and application of medical vocabulary through an etymology-based game.
- To improve the quality of care for elderly individuals with hearing loss and communication needs.
Summary:
- The EMGE Centre-Nord 92 developed two participatory workshops for caregivers in Ehpad facilities.
- One workshop focused on the practical handling of hearing aid devices for the elderly.
- A second workshop utilized an etymology-card game to reinforce medical vocabulary among caregivers.
Impact:
- Improved caregiver competency in managing assistive listening devices.
- Enhanced communication between caregivers and elderly residents, particularly those with hearing impairments.
- Potential for better health outcomes and resident satisfaction through effective care practices.

01:24Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching II: Planning and Implementation
1.3K
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...

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-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...
