Continuing Care01:25

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,...

Kubler Ross's Stages of Dying

Elisabeth Kübler-Ross significantly advanced psychology's understanding of the process of dying with her influential book, On Death and Dying (1969). She focused on studying terminally ill individuals and outlined five stages commonly experienced when coping with death: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.
In denial, individuals reject the reality of their condition, often thinking, "This isn't true; I feel fine," as a way to protect themselves from emotional distress. Anger...
Regression Toward the Mean01:52

Regression Toward the Mean

Regression toward the mean (“RTM”) is a phenomenon in which extremely high or low values—for example, and individual’s blood pressure at a particular moment—appear closer to a group’s average upon remeasuring. Although this statistical peculiarity is the result of random error and chance, it has been problematic across various medical, scientific, financial and psychological applications. In particular, RTM, if not taken into account, can interfere when researchers try to extrapolate results...
Ethical Issues01:27

Ethical Issues

Nurses are essential in patient care, upholding the ethical principles of their profession and effectively navigating ethical dilemmas. Neglecting ethical issues can lead to inadequate patient care, compromised therapeutic relationships, and moral distress among healthcare workers.

Assessment of Dependence in Activities of Daily Living Among Older Patients in an Acute Care Unit

Published on: September 30, 2020

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Public Health
  • Sociology

Background:

  • Healthcare policies increasingly favor home-based end-of-life (EOL) care.
  • This trend significantly impacts informal caregivers, who provide essential support.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To estimate the impact of home deaths on informal caregiving.
  • To analyze trends in informal caregiving for decedents aged 65 and older.

Main Methods:

  • Secondary data analysis of 11 waves (2002-2022) of the Health and Retirement Study (HRS).
  • Utilized two-part models, quantile regression, and logistic regression.
  • Included proxy exit interviews of 8,298 decedents aged 65+.

Main Results:

  • Decedents dying at home received more daily informal care hours compared to institutional deaths.
  • This association strengthened after 2010.
  • Home deaths showed differential associations across caregiving intensity quantiles.
  • No link was found between informal care intensity and symptom management.

Conclusions:

  • Findings indicate a growing dependence on informal caregiving for home deaths.
  • This highlights potential under-resourcing of informal caregiving amidst EOL care pattern shifts.
