Conceptual Framework for Development of Long-Term Care Policy 1. Constitutive Elements

Abstract: RÉSUMÉLes éléments pour la conception d'un schéma conceptuel pour la planification des services de longue durée (SLD) sont élaborés en se fondant sur deux courants de pensée. L'un, plus pratique d'orientation, emprunte aux réflexions sur la démarche de planification, l'autre, théorique, est celui des théories sociologiques de l'action. La planification est définie comme une action qui vise le développement d'un plan, c'est-à-dire qu'à partir à la fois de valeurs et de désirs et de ressources et de contraintes,… Show more

“…To paraphrase Parenti (1978), however, the broader issue pertains to what sets this "agenda" to begin with. The structural characteristics of the facility (e.g., institutional policies around family involvement (Montgomery, 1983)), the work culture (Foner, 1994) including the type of support that RNs expect to receive from supervisors in the event of a family complaint as well as larger systemic factors, such as the economics and funding that influence workload and drive the operation of the facility (Béland & Arweiler, 1996), all play a role in developing the context within which RNs -and families for that matter -perceive the options that they have in relating to one another. This suggests that family-staff relationships are not only defined by the interpersonal dynamics of the situation, but also by structural considerations that give shape to the situation in the first place.…”

“…These are: human dignity, the legitimacy of government intervention, the role of the family, patient preferences, balance between medical and social services, integration of institutional and community services, the patient referral process, private or public ownership of facilities, incentives to effectiveness and efficiency, the costs of LTC, obtaining resources, and elderly people's needs for services. This list of themes is very close to the components of LTC planning proposed in the first of these two articles (Beland & Arweiler, 1996). Additions to these 12 themes were driven by the definitions of planning (Pineault & Daveluy, 1986) and social action (Parsons, 1937), in addition to reading and rereading LTC policy documents from the various Canadian provinces and western countries.…”

“…Additions to these 12 themes were driven by the definitions of planning (Pineault & Daveluy, 1986) and social action (Parsons, 1937), in addition to reading and rereading LTC policy documents from the various Canadian provinces and western countries. Since our objective in proposing a conceptual framework for the development of LTC policy is to classify and relate a set of issues, dilemmas and challenges facing these policies rather than giving a recipe for action or a method of evaluating policy, or a given body of orientations, none of the 16 components shown in Table 7 of Beland and Arweiler (1996) has been developed to the point of formulating concrete solutions. However, none of the 16 components can be neglected in developing an LTC policy.…”

“…There are several policy implications from these findings. Using the conceptual framework suggested by Beland and Arweiler (1996), policy for the development and implementation of guidelines within LTC could be considered as a priority. Funding is not available within the long-term care sector for the in-depth staff development of critical appraisal skills needed to critique research evidence.…”
