“…The mean POPAC scores over a sample of nurses can be utilized to measure the quality of care for people with dementia in hospitals. Nursing professionals and nursing managers can use the outcomes as indicators to determine which areas of care can be improved in their ward (41). Additionally, the POPAC can be used in the education of nurses and nursing students.…”

Background People with dementia are regularly hospitalized. Person-centered care is the preferred model for caring for people with dementia. To improve the quality of care for people with dementia in an acute care setting, knowledge of the level of person-centeredness of the care is relevant. The POPAC is a tool to determine the level of Person-centred care. Translation enables international comparisons of data and outcomes of Person-centred care. This study aimed to translate and cross-nationally validate the Dutch Person-centred care of Older People with cognitive impairment in Acute Care scale and to evaluate its psychometric properties. Methods After translation, a total of 159 nurses recruited from six hospitals and via social media completed the POPAC. A confirmatory factor analysis was performed to test the factor-structure, and a Cronbach’s alpha scale was utilized to establish the reliability of the scale. Results A confirmatory factor analysis showed that the fit by the Confirmatory Fit Index was a nearly acceptable model fit. The Root Mean Square Error of Approximation and the Standardized Root Mean Square Residual suggested an acceptable model fit. The findings of the authors confirm a three-dimensional structure suggested by previous research. The loadings of the items indicate that these are strong associations with each of the factors. Besides, the factor correlations also indicate that these are strongly associated. These findings indicate that the factors are strongly associated with a general POPAC factor. This study confirms that, statistically, Item 5 could be deleted to improve the reliability of the instrument. Instead of deleting this item, the authors suggest considering rephrasing it into a positive item. Conclusions The Dutch version of the POPAC is sufficiently valid and reliable and can be utilized for assessing person-centered care in acute care hospitals. The study enables nurses to interpret and compare levels of Person-centred care in wards and hospital levels between regions and countries. The results form an important basis for improving the quality of care and nurse-sensitive outcomes such as prevention of complications and length of hospital stay.

“…That insight empirically supports the notion that work arrangements can reflect work motivations, which may influence whom and how nurse managers mentor (Gan, ). Nurse managers invest much of their time and resources in mentoring nurses (Kodama & Fukahori, ; Sveinsdóttir, Ragnarsdóttir, & Blöndal, ). Mentoring helps to disseminate knowledge and to promote evidence‐based practice (Abdullah et al, ; Karlberg Traav, Forsman, Eriksson, & Cronqvist, ) as well as to impart career insights and to foster supportive relationships (Simpson & Simpson, ).…”

How do nurse managers describe clinical nurses' work arrangements? A qualitative study

AimThe researcher sought to understand how nurse managers describe nurses in alternative work arrangements.DesignThe researcher conducted this study using grounded theory.MethodSemi‐structured interviews. A theoretical sample of 26 baccalaureate‐prepared nurse managers located across the United States participated in the study.ResultsA typology of five work arrangements provides descriptors that contribute toward greater conceptual clarity on nurses' work arrangements. The data reveal that the typology is fluid because nurses can easily switch across work arrangements. Because the rise in alternative work arrangements means that nurses can leave permanent positions—or explore different work arrangements—when circumstances permit or necessitate, nurses who do not receive continued mentoring will likely bring their deficiencies in skill and/or knowledge to facilities where they find future employment. Hence, inadequate mentoring at the unit level has practical consequences for the quality of patient care at the institutional level.

“…This includes the idea of indirect patient care being aside the actual care work (Ausserhofer et al., ; Ball et al., ; Menon, ). Furthermore, because previous studies have shown that nurses perceive physical demands as one of the main challenges in their work (Erkkilä et al., ; Kodama & Fukahori, ; Trydegård, ), our second hypothesis was that the respondents are more approving towards robots that assist in physically burdening care tasks.…”

“…Telepresence offers an important and interesting prospect of reorganizing and prioritizing tasks in care work. At the moment, nursing staff is concerned about resource shortages as well as administrative tasks and travelling taking time from actual care work (Ausserhofer et al, 2014;Ball, Murrells, Rafferty, Morrow, & Griffiths, 2014;Kodama & Fukahori, 2017;Menon, 2015;Trydegård, 2012).…”

Finnish healthcare professionals' attitudes towards robots: Reflections on a population sample

AimTo answer the question: ‘How prepared healthcare professionals are to take robots as their assistants in terms of experience and acceptance?’BackgroundThe ageing population, increasing care needs and shortage of healthcare professionals pose major challenges in Western societies. Special service robots designed for care tasks have been introduced as one solution to these problems.DesignA correlative designMethodsEurobarometer data (N = 969) and survey data of nurses and other healthcare professionals (N = 3800) were used to assess the relationship between robot acceptance and experiences with robots while controlling for the respondents’ age, gender, occupational status and managerial experience.ResultsHealthcare professionals had less experience with robots and more negative attitudes towards them than the general population. However, in healthcare, robot assistance was welcomed for certain tasks. These regarded, for example, heavy lifting and logistics. Previous experiences with robots were consistently correlated with robot acceptance.
