“…In contrast, the rationing of documentation is related to a better perception of quality of care, probably because less time is spent with administrative tasks, allowing more time to be spent with residents. The development of personal care workereresident relationships and person-centered care has been repeatedly linked with high quality of care, 63 as well as residents' well-being 64,65 and care workers' job satisfaction and retention. 57,66,67 An unexpected finding was the positive relationship between care workers reporting more frequent stress due to lack of preparation for their job and better ratings of quality of care.…”

“…Relationships and reciprocity was a solution for a meaningful daily life. Good relationships with staff can create a sense of belonging and value [6], make life easier, more joyful and meaningful for the older persons [19,38], and satisfy basic psychological needs, which contribute to well-being [39]. It is in the relationship with staff that autonomy, self-determination and identity can be maintained [40].…”

A meaningful daily life in nursing homes - a place of shelter and a space of freedom: a participatory appreciative action reflection study

2014

Background: Shortcomings in elderly care have been reported in many parts of the world, including Sweden. However, national guidelines for elderly care have been introduced in Sweden, which contain core values and local guarantees of dignity. These highlight the need for dignity and well-being, and organising the older person's daily life so that they perceive it as meaningful. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to describe older persons' experience and knowledge about obstacles, opportunities and solutions to developing a meaningful daily life for those living in nursing homes. Methods: This study combined the Participatory Appreciative Action Reflection (PAAR) and hermeneutic approaches. Twenty-five older persons participated and persons with dementia or cognitive impairments were included. Repeated interviews were carried out as reflective conversations, leaving 50 interviews in total, wherein the older persons provided their analyses and reflections on a meaningful daily life. Finally, an analysis of the data was completed based on a life-world hermeneutic approach. Results: We identified five tentative interpretations that describe obstacles, opportunities and solutions for a meaningful daily life. Themes 2 and 4 outline obstacles for a meaningful daily life, and Themes 1, 3 and 5 describe opportunities and solutions for a meaningful daily life: (1) Having space to be yourself; (2) No space to be yourself; (3) Belonging and security; (4) A feeling of insecurity; and (5) Longing for something to happen. In the main interpretation, we found that the five tentative interpretations are related to Tuan's concepts of space and place, where place can be described as security and stableness, and space as freedom and openness. Conclusions: The reciprocal relationship is a solution for a meaningful daily life and occurs in the interaction between staff and older persons in nursing homes. It is the balance of power, and constitutes a place of shelter and a space of freedom for a meaningful daily life. The older person must have balance between shelter and freedom to have a meaningful daily life.

“…Previously, autonomy satisfaction and to a lesser extent relatedness satisfaction have been shown to be associated with depression in studies conducted in long-term care facilities in Europe (Custers et al, 2010; Ferrand et al, 2014). The current study contributes the observation that the psychological symptoms of depression are the keys aspects of depression in this association.…”

Unmet core needs for self-determination in HIV-infected women of color in medical care

et al. 2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The levels of satisfaction of the core self-determination needs (relatedness, autonomy, competence) among HIV-infected women of color as well as the association between need fulfillment and patient characteristics were examined. Having less than a high school education was associated with lowest need satisfaction: autonomy (β= −1.90; 95%CI= −3.20, −0.60), relatedness (β= −2.70; 95%CI= −4.30, −1.10), and competency (β= −2.50; 95%CI= −3.60, −1.30). Each additional point increase in affective symptoms of depression was associated with decrements in need satisfaction (−0.61 autonomy, −0.68 relatedness, −0.59 competency). Relatedness satisfaction was lower with higher responses on all three measures of violence (psychological abuse: β= −0.13, 95%CI= −0.19 to −0.07; adult traumatic experiences: β= −0.24, 95%CI= −0.35 to −0.13; childhood traumatic experiences: β= −0.24, 95%CI= −0.40 to −0.08). Interventions that address core self-determination needs, and the characteristics that influence them, may enhance the motivation for self-care of HIV-infected women.
