Abstract
PURPOSE To identify, appraise, and synthesize qualitative research evidence exploring patients' needs regarding work-focused healthcare. METHODS A systematic review was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA statement guidelines to identify studies reporting patients' needs regarding work-focused healthcare. Four databases (MEDLINE, Embase, PsychInfo and Web of Science) were systematically searched from January 2000 until May 2023 and screened in duplicate by pairs of two reviewers. Inclusion criteria were qualitative data collection method, and patients' perspectives regarding healthcare focusing on work when experiencing work-related problems due to chronic medical conditions. Data extraction and synthesis was executed by means of an inductive thematic analysis approach. The quality of the included studies was assessed using the CASP Qualitative Study checklist. Confidence in the review findings was assessed through the Confidence in the Evidence from Reviews of Qualitative research (CERQual) approach. RESULTS Out of 23,677 records, 97 qualitative studies were included. Needs regarding four main themes were identified: (1) Substantive guidance, which comprises the specific content of work-focused healthcare; (2) Clear and continuous process, which comprises clarification and optimization of the work-focused healthcare process; (3) Supportive attitude and behavior, which comprises a positive and supportive attitude and behavior from professionals towards the patients; and (4) Tailored approach, which comprises the delivery of tailored care to the individuals' needs. 17 subthemes were identified. CONCLUSION The broader insight in patients' needs in work-focused healthcare can help (occupational) healthcare professionals adopt a more patient-centred approach in practice.

Weiste E, Stevanovic M, Ranta N, Nevalainen H. Healthcare providers' narratives about interactionally troubling patient exchanges: Accounting for and against an active patient role. QUALITATIVE RESEARCH IN MEDICINE & HEALTHCARE 2024; 8:11877. [PMID: 39035568 PMCID: PMC11257034 DOI: 10.4081/qrmh.2024.11877] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2023] [Accepted: 04/02/2024] [Indexed: 07/23/2024] Open
Abstract
The current trend in healthcare is to actively involve patients in their own treatment; however, in practice, healthcare providers may adhere to paternalistic views, which may not align with ideals related to patient involvement. This tension may become visible when providers talk about service encounters that they experienced as being interactionally troubling. In this empirical qualitative study, we utilize Bamberg's narrative positioning analysis to explore how healthcare providers construct patients' roles in narratives about such troubling exchanges. Data consist of 20 audio-recorded interviews with healthcare providers. We found two types of narratives in which healthcare providers' perceptions of interactionally troubling patient exchanges were consistently related to their implicit evaluations of patients along a continuum of activeness versus passiveness. In the first, an active patient was considered ideal, and the problematic patient was one who is passive. In the second, a patient's over-activeness was thought to interfere with the healthcare delivery. While providers' complaints about patient passiveness were unproblematically presented from the perspective of the patient participation ideal, complaints about patient over-activeness were difficult to account for due to their inherent connotations with paternalism. Thus, we conclude that there is a need for training and interventions aiming to develop healthcare providers' critical awareness of shifting cultural models, including patient involvement ideals and providers' capacity to reflect paternalistic tendencies.

Abstract
Homecare models can be effective mechanisms in securing wellbeing and ageing-in-place goals prevalent in health policy agendas. However, the relevance and utility of these models for those living in socially and environmentally insecure conditions has rarely been considered. This is marked by an assumption of in-situ care delivery in private dwellings, and the absence of such groups from homecare development processes. This study aims to harnesses the experiences and preferences of older people in homelessness (OH), older Irish Travellers (OT), and professional stakeholders in an evidence-based co-production of policy recommendations for inclusive homecare provision. The study employed a participatory approach involving the integration of lived experience evidence in a multistakeholder co-production process. Methods comprised: five separate focus groups with OH, OT and service providers (n = 30); two consultative forums involving focus group participants together; and 49 life-course interviews with OH (n = 27) and OT (n = 22) and adults. Findings demonstrate that sizeable gaps in care remain for these groups, and that resource constraints and legislative restrictions prevail for professional stakeholders. Co-produced policy recommendations for inclusive homecare provision based on these experiences and group preferences are presented and discussed.

The impact of long-term care interventions on healthcare utilisation among older persons: a scoping review of reviews. BMC Geriatr 2024; 24:484. [PMID: 38831269 PMCID: PMC11145838 DOI: 10.1186/s12877-024-05097-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2024] [Accepted: 05/20/2024] [Indexed: 06/05/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND As the ageing population grows, the demand for long-term care (LTC) services will rise, concurrently amplifying healthcare utilisation. This review aims to examine and consolidate information on LTC interventions that influence healthcare utilisation among older persons. METHODS A scoping review was performed through a systematic search in PubMed, EBSCO CINAHL, EBM Reviews - Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Embase, APA PsycInfo, EBM Reviews - Health Technology Assessment, and EBM Reviews - NHS Economic Evaluation Database. Systematic reviews with meta-analyses published between 1 January 2010 and 2 June 2022 among older persons aged 60 and above were included. The characteristics of LTC interventions were mapped to the World Health Organization (WHO) Healthy Ageing Framework. The effect sizes of healthcare utilisations for LTC interventions were recalculated using a random-effects model. The methodological quality was assessed with the AMSTAR-2 checklist, while the quality of evidence for each association was evaluated using GRADE. RESULTS Thirty-seven meta-analyses were included. The most prominent domain of the healthy ageing framework was managing chronic conditions. One hundred twelve associations between various LTC interventions and healthcare utilisations were identified, with 22 associations impacting healthcare utilisation. Four interventions were supported by suggestive or convincing evidence. Preventive home visits were found to reduce hospital admission (OR: 0.73, 95% CI: 0.59, 0.91, p = 0.005), caregiver integration during discharge planning (OR: 0.68, 95% CI: 0.57, 0.81, p < 0.001), and continuity of care (OR: 0.76, 95% CI: 0.61, 0.95, p = 0.018) reduced hospital readmission, and perioperative geriatric interventions reduced the length of hospital stay (MD: -1.50, 95% CI: -2.24, -0.76, p < 0.001). None of the associations impacted emergency department visits, medication use, and primary care utilisations with convincing evidence. Most reviews received low methodological quality. CONCLUSION The findings suggest that LTC interventions could benefit from transitioning to a community-based setting involving a multidisciplinary team, including carers. The spectrum of services should incorporate a comprehensive assessment to ensure continuous care.

Abstract
Background Multiprofessional and client-oriented approaches are considered key factors for successful occupational health services, and for impressive occupational health cooperation between a client organisation and occupational health service provider. The purpose of this study was to find out the views of occupational health physicians, occupational health nurses, occupational physiotherapists, and occupational health psychologists about multiprofessional and client-oriented working methods. These working methods describe the guidelines for good occupational health practice in Finland, also serving the framework of the present study. Material and Methods The survey was conducted in May and June 2022. The data consisted of answers to open-ended questions of a larger questionnaire. The data was analysed with the method of theory-related thematic analysis. Seven occupational health service providers committed to the study. Altogether 121 professionals responded to the question surveying the multiprofessional approach, and 119 professionals responded to the question of client-oriented approach. Results The results showed that both the multiprofessional and client-oriented approaches are closely related to each other, and the views of these approaches are in line with the good occupational health practice. Multiprofessional approach was most commonly described with the theme of sharing expertise. Respectively, the theme of smooth cooperation most commonly described the client-oriented approach. At its best, the answers showed that a multiprofessional working strategy takes into account the expertise of different professionals so that the client can be offered high-quality, accurate content and timely occupational health services. Conclusion The results provide up-to-date information on working strategies of occupational health services in Finland. The results can be used in further development of multiprofessional and client-oriented work in occupational health services.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Self-determination has been shown to be an important factor in mental health and wellbeing, but from the homecare recipients' point of view, autonomy and self-determination is not fully integrated into homecare services. The aim of this study was to explore older adults' experiences of self-determination when needing homecare services. METHODS In 2018, a qualitative descriptive study was conducted and a convenience sample of 15 older adults from 3 homecare service facilities were invited to participate in individual interviews. Data were analysed using qualitative content analyse. RESULTS The theme Transitioning from self-determination as independence towards self-determination as shared decision-making emerged through the older adults' narratives. This 'transition' is one in which older adult's understanding of self-determination and self-esteem was transitioning towards the acceptance of shared decision-making. The person's inner strength and willingness to make decisions was promoting to enact and preserve independence. Accepting one's dependence on others and being in a positive atmosphere were described as promoting self-determination and shared decision-making, and vice versa. The above overarching theme permeated all subthemes, which included: mobilising inner strength to enact independence; accepting increasing dependence on others; and being influenced by the atmosphere. CONCLUSIONS The study contributes increased understanding of older adults' experiences of self-determination. The results can act as a guide when planning future person-centred care interventions in the context of homecare services and help improve homecare services' ability to meet the needs of older adults. To summarise, older adults' reflections on their own self-determination highlighted relationships with other people as important for shared decision-making, which could help preserve older adults' autonomy and self-esteem.

Abstract
BACKGROUND With global aging on the rise, the number of older adults with disabilities was also increasing exponentially. There has been growing international interest in home rehabilitation care as a new method for older adults with disabilities. METHOD The current study is a descriptive qualitative study. Guided by the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR), semistructured face-to-face interviews were performed to collect data. The interview data were analyzed using a qualitative content analysis method. RESULT Sixteen nurses with different characteristics from 16 cities participated in the interviews. The findings highlighted 29 implementation determinants of home-based rehabilitation care for older adults with disabilities, including 16 barriers, and 13 facilitators. These influencing factors aligned with all four CFIR domains that were used to guide the analysis and 15 of the 26 CFIR constructs. More barriers were identified in the CFIR domain of characteristics of individuals, intervention characteristics, and the outer setting, while fewer barriers were identified in the inner setting. CONCLUSION Nurses from the rehabilitation department reported many barriers related to the implementation of home rehabilitation care. They reported facilitators to the implementation of home rehabilitation care despite the barriers, which provided practical recommendations for directions to be explored by researchers in China and elsewhere.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE Comprehensive care and service planning in home care is tailored to older people's individual needs and resources in order to support them living at home. However, little is known about how these individual resources and home-care-specific tasks are recognised in older people's care and service plans. AIMS To describe the content of care and service plans in older people's home care with special attention to their individual resources and home-care-specific tasks. DESIGN This was a document-based cross-sectional study with mixed-methods analysis, carried out in Eastern Finland during Spring 2018. METHODS A document analysis using the deductive Finnish Care Classification (FinCC), and an inductively developed framework of older people's care and service plans (n = 71). The data were analysed with descriptive statistical methods. RESULTS Altogether, 1718 notes were relevant to the FinCC main categories: 707 (41%) focused on older people's needs and 1011 (59%) on nursing interventions. We identified 1104 notes based on the 26 inductively developed main categories: the majority (n = 628, 57%) focused on individual resources and the remainder (n = 476, 43%) on home-care-specific tasks. Increasing age resulted in fewer notes on safety and sensory functions. There were fewer notes on resources related to sleeping and wakefulness after longer care and service periods. An increased number of home visits resulted in more documentation on tasks related to pharmaceutical issues, including repeat prescriptions. DISCUSSION Individual resources for older people were documented, to some extent, in their care and service plans. It is necessary to review these alongside home-care-specific tasks that support older people's independence and safety at home. CONCLUSION Individual resources need to be recognised in order to enable home-care professionals to provide tailored, high-quality home care services. Home-care-specific tasks should be supported by documentation with updated, sensitive home care classifications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this review was to evaluate the experiences of health care personnel with promoting a sense of home for older adults living in residential care facilities. INTRODUCTION Moving to a residential care facility represents a critical moment for older adults. It disrupts the continuity of their lives and distances them from significant people and objects. Health care personnel working in residential care facilities can help create a sense of home for residents. There is a lack of qualitative reviews reporting health care personnel's experiences with promoting a sense of home for older adults living in residential care settings. INCLUSION CRITERIA Qualitative studies exploring the experiences of health care personnel with promoting a sense of home for people aged 65 and older living in residential care facilities, including, but not limited to, nursing homes, residential care homes, retirement homes, assisted-living facilities, and skilled nursing facilities were included in the review. METHODS This review followed a meta-aggregation approach according to JBI methodology for systematic reviews of qualitative evidence. PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, PsycINFO, Scopus, Web of Science, and ILISI databases were searched, as well as Google Scholar, OpenGrey, and ProQuest Dissertations and Theses Global. Studies published in English, Italian, French, Portuguese, or Spanish were considered for inclusion. Study selection, critical appraisal, data extraction, and data synthesis were conducted by 2 independent reviewers using the JBI approach and JBI standardized tools. Finally, the ConQual approach was used to assess the confidence level in the study findings. RESULTS Seven studies conducted in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Sweden, and the Netherlands between 2014 and 2020 were included. The studies reported the experiences of nurses, nurse aides, and directors of facilities. From the aggregation of 69 findings, 14 categories were generated that were then grouped into 3 synthesized findings describing the experiences of health care personnel as follows: the promotion of residents' sense of home in residential care facilities is influenced by i) the built environment, including private, single rooms with bathrooms, homelike-domestic spaces, personalization of residents' rooms, homelike interior and exterior design, and non-hospital-like environment; ii) the national and local policy and regulations, and work organization, as well as leadership of managers and directors; and iii) the facilities' care culture, including philosophy of care, maintaining autonomy of residents and ties with the community, participation in domestic and recreational activities, and family relationships. Based on the ConQual scores, the confidence level in the synthesized findings was graded as low. CONCLUSIONS According to health care personnel, the physical environment, interpersonal and social aspects, regulations, work organization, and the facilities' care culture can contribute to creating a sense of home for older adults in residential care facilities. The evidence derived from this review can help health care personnel, facility directors, and policy-makers identify the changes that should be implemented to promote a sense of home in older adults residing in care facilities.

[PMID: 34931382 PMCID: PMC9543740 DOI: 10.1111/hsc.13685] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/29/2021] [Revised: 12/02/2021] [Accepted: 12/06/2021] [Indexed: 05/13/2023]
Abstract
Goal-setting with older adults in home care is often inhibited by a lack of structure to support person- and family-centred care planning, paternalistic decision-making and task-oriented delivery models. The objective of this research study was to determine how goal-setting practices for older adults could be re-oriented around individuals' self-perceived goals, needs and preferences. Solution-focused semi-structured key informant interviews were conducted with older adult home care clients aged 65 years and older (n = 13) and their family/friend caregivers (n = 12) to explore changes, solutions and strategies for person- and family-centred goal-setting. Participants were recruited through community advertisement in a single region of Ontario, Canada between July and October of 2017. Interviews were conducted in-person and were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. Thematic analysis was guided by a multi-step framework method. Four themes emerged from the data: (1) seeing beyond age enables respect and dignity; (2) relational communication involves two-way information sharing; (3) doing 'with' instead of doing 'for' promotes participation and (4) collaboration is easier when older adults and caregivers lead the way. Older adults and caregivers want to be actively engaged in dialogue during care planning to ensure their preferences are included. The findings from this study add the direct perspectives of older adults and their caregivers to literature on solutions to address ageism, improve communication, enhance information sharing and promote collaboration in geriatric care. Next steps for this work could involve testing the changes, solutions and strategies that emerged to determine the effect on person- and family-centred home care delivery.

Introduction Client orientation is an essential principle that underlines the delivery of high-quality health and social care. Despite this, little is known about how the health and social care professionals perceive this principle. The aim of this qualitative study was to describe the integrated perceptions of health and social care professionals of client orientation and the requirements for competencies and care and service systems. Methods The 29 participants were Finnish health and social care professionals and the data were collected with asynchronous online discussions in a closed Internet-based group from November 2017 to January 2018 and analysed with inductive content analysis. Results Client orientation was a core value in health and social care and services due to the humane approach required and the client's rights and responsibilities. It also required the professionals to have specific competencies and collaborate. The system elements that supported client orientation were an integrating and responsive service system, service availability and accessibility, guidance, leadership, resources and the effective use of technology. Discussion Professionals need additional training and structural support from their organizations if they were to deliver efficient, flexible, high-quality client-oriented health and social care and services.
