“…The cohort of older Filipinos who expressed resistance to living separately in aged care facilities showed a preference towards culturally oriented and familial caregiving in old age. Similar responses patterns have been reported in other older immigrant groups suggesting preference to caregiving options in old age, which are closely connected to individual cultural values and identity (Lai, ; Martinsson, Edberg, & Janlöv, ). When such familial caregiving expectations could not be foreguided in the adopting country, going back to the Philippines was the most viable option.…”

“…The older people sometimes feel that caregivers are uncomfortable with meeting their needs, especially when eating or taking care of personal hygiene, and as a result they turn away from asking staff for help. 35 The focus of care is on performing activities of daily living, and attention is paid less to the complaints of the older people about their health conditions. 11 …”

Care Process in Iranian Nursing Homes: A Grounded Theory Study

2021

Introduction: The need and use of long-term care services for older people has increased with their rising population and there is little information about the state of serving in nursing homes. This study aimed to identify the caring process in Iranian nursing homes. Methods: This qualitative study was conducted in three Iranian nursing homes using grounded theory approach. The participants included 28 individuals (14 older people and 14 caregivers). The data were collected using unstructured interviews up to data saturation, and analyzed by constant comparative method. Results: Fragmented care emerged as the core variable. The main factor for developing the core variable was ‘experience-based caring’. Other factors included ‘inappropriate structure for care’ as contextual factors in the nursing homes environment and ‘keeping instead of caring’, ‘dismal life’, and ‘up and down of the path’ as strategies and consequences. Conclusions: The most common type of care was the routine and unplanned one with focusing on physical aspects. To improve a delivery care system for older people in nursing homes, proposing a care plan with focus on an integrated model of care in nursing homes, provision of instructions for treatment, as well as supervision and training caregivers to provide better care are necessary

“…In addition, language diversity among residents as well as staff is common and this creates additional challenges for everyday interaction. 5,6 Person-centred care (PCC) entails that the beliefs, needs and preferences of the person in need of care are respected and a partnership is established between patients and staff. [7][8][9] Patients are not passive recipients of care but play an active role in planning their own care with their care providers.…”

Background: Specific routines such as the development of personal communication plans can improve the interaction between people with communication disorders and healthcare staff. Objective: This pilot study explores a model for implementing communication routines including personal communication plans in long-term residential care. Design, Setting and Participants: This multiple case study includes two residential care facilities that differ in size and the number of languages spoken. Intervention or main variables studied implementation strategies involved workshops, individual coaching and follow-up visits. Main outcome measure implementation was assessed using goal attainment measurements, and the staff's views about facilitators and barriers to implementation were explored through structured interviews using the Theoretical Domains Framework. Results: The overall implementation success rate for the facilities was moderate, and one of the facilities showed promising results related to personal communication plans. Both facilities experienced barriers to implementation, including management problems and a lack of reminders. However, the two facilities seem to have different motivations for change. Discussion and Conclusions: Regardless of the features of the facility, successful implementation requires stable and committed leadership. Moreover, experiences with language diversity may motivate staff to implement communication routines. Patient or Public Contribution: The content of the implementation model used (i.e., choice of specific routines and implementation strategies) was coproduced by staff, managers and the researchers involved in this project. The staff and managers were responsible for the implementation of the new routines under the supervision of the researchers.
