Abstract
Aims To ask lots of questions about finding the truth about the influence of the case management model combined with continuous nursing care on following the law behavior and negative feelings of love, hate, fear, etc. in old patients with lung scale-like cell cancer. Materials and Methods One hundred and forty-three elderly patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the lung were selected for this prospective study, 10 cases were shed due to epidemic and transfer, and finally 68 cases were in the control group and 65 cases in the observation group. The differences in anxiety and depression scores, quality of life, and compliance behavior between the two groups were observed and compared. Results After nursing, the self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and self-rating depression scale (SDS) of the observation group were lower than those of the control group, while the social support score was significantly higher than that of the control group. The scores of psychological behavior, exercise status, drug taking, and balanced diet of the two groups were significantly improved, and the observation group was significantly improved. The scores of medical compliance behavior in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group, and the mental vitality score, social interaction score, emotional restriction score, and mental status of the patients in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group, and the above statistics showed that the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion The use of a case management model combined with extended care significantly improved the compliance behavior and anxiety and depression of elderly patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the lung and improved the quality of life and social support.

Abstract
Introduction: Integrated care is a particularly promising approach in geriatrics – a field in which the medical, psychological and social issues are often complex. The uptake of integrated care by healthcare professionals (HCPs) is essential but varies markedly. The objective of the present study of healthcare professionals was to identify barriers to and facilitators of commitment to integrated care for seniors. Methods: We performed a two-step, qualitative study, comprising (i) six qualitative, semi-directive series of interviews with HCPs (hospital practitioners, family physicians, nurses and pharmacists) who agreed or disagreed to take part in the French national “Health Pathway of Seniors for Preserved Autonomy” (PAERPA) pilot program; and (ii) an analysis of the pooled results, in order to identify common concerns among the healthcare professionals. Results: We identified four key “barrier” and “facilitator” topics shared by HCPs who had committed to the pilot program and those who had not: (i) awareness of and/or interest in geriatric medicine and team working, (ii) the presence of a care coordinator; (iii) the provision of information about the program and about the patient, and communication between HCPs, and (iv) personal benefits for the HCPs and the patients. Key conclusions: The four key topics identified in this large qualitative study of several healthcare professions should be considered during the design and dissemination of integrated care pathways for older patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Evidence concerning the effectiveness of non-pharmacological interventions that are applied to people with dementia living in long-term care facilities is inconsistent. The purpose of this protocol is to describe the methodological considerations that will guide the completion of a scoping review that will inventorise and assess the effectiveness of the various non-pharmacological interventions that are documented in literature for improving quality of life of people with dementia living in long-term care. METHODS AND ANALYSIS This scoping review will combine the methodology outlined in the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews and Guidance for conducting systematic scoping reviews by Peters et al. PubMed; MEDLINE; CINAHL; Embase; Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews; Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials; Emcare; Sociological Abstracts and PsycINFO databases will be searched. Grey literature databases will also be explored. A two-stage screening process consisting of a title and abstract scan and a full-text review will be used to determine the eligibility of studies. Studies, irrespective of design, will be included that quantitatively assess quality of life of long-term care residents who receive non-pharmacological interventions for dementia. A pair of reviewers will independently assess all articles for eligibility, and all eligible articles will be abstracted and charted using a standardised form. The extracted data will undergo a 'narrative review' or a descriptive analysis of the contextual or process-oriented data and quantitative analysis reflecting the objectives of this scoping review. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION Research ethics approval is not required for this scoping review. This review started off in October 2018, anticipated end date is June 2020. We plan to disseminate this research through publications, presentations at relevant national and international conferences and meetings with relevant stakeholders. This scoping review protocol has been registered at Open Science Framework (https://osf.io/tupbv).

Abstract
Background People with dementia who are admitted to hospital have worse outcomes than those without dementia. Identifying interventions that could reduce the risk of hospitalisation in people with dementia has the potential to positively impact on lives of people with dementia. This review aimed to investigate whether there are non-pharmacological interventions that successfully reduce hospitalisation risk, length of stay and mortality in people with dementia. Methods 7 electronic databases and trial registries were searched from inception to October 2018. We included randomised controlled trials that evaluated non-pharmacological interventions in out of hospital settings and targeted people with any type of dementia. All stages of the review process were performed by two reviewers. Risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool. We grouped studies based on intervention: care management, counselling/self-help, enhanced GP services or memory clinics, and physiotherapy or occupational therapy. Data were pooled within intervention categories using random effects meta-analysis. Results There was no evidence that any of the intervention categories were associated with reduced hospital admission or mortality. There was very weak evidence to suggest that care management interventions (mean difference, MD, -0.16, 95% CI -0.32, 0.01), physiotherapy/occupational therapy (MD -0.16, 95% CI -0.36, 0.03) and enhanced GP/memory clinics (MD -0.14, 95% CI -0.31, 0.03) were associated with small reductions in hospital stay. There was no evidence for an effect of counselling/self-help interventions on length of hospital stay. Conclusions Current evidence from randomised trials suggests no clear benefit or harm associated with any of interventions on risks of hospitalisation, duration of hospitalisation or death. Further research with the primary aim to reduce hospitalisation in people with dementia is required.

Kelly KJ, Doucet S, Luke A. Exploring the roles, functions, and background of patient navigators and case managers: A scoping review. Int J Nurs Stud 2019; 98:27-47. [PMID: 31271977 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijnurstu.2019.05.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 62] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2018] [Revised: 05/29/2019] [Accepted: 05/30/2019] [Indexed: 12/30/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Patient navigators and case managers are health care workers who aim to provide individualized assistance to patients facing significant health concerns. Although these roles emerged from distinct historical need, the terms are often used interchangeably in the literature and are described to have overlapping functions. Differences in the way that these roles are conceptualized across countries has led to a lack of clarity regarding the exact functions that each offer to patients, caregivers, and the health care system. OBJECTIVES To differentiate the functions and backgrounds of patient navigators and case managers across settings and disease contexts. DESIGN This review was guided based on the PRISMA extension for scoping reviews using a five-step review process: identify the research questions; search and identify relevant studies; select studies based on a priori criterion; chart the data; and collate, summarize and report the results. DATA SOURCES A search of the literature was undertaken in peer-reviewed databases (Medline, CINAHL, and PubMed) and the grey literature (Google and unpublished articles in online repositories). REVIEW METHODS Extracted data included information on patient navigators and/or case managers related to their reported background, training, and/or knowledge; roles and/or specific functions; clinical setting; and targeted condition or disease type. RESULTS The search strategy resulted in 10,523 articles. After applying the eligibility criteria during title and abstract evaluation, 468 full-text articles were reviewed, resulting in a total of 160 articles. Functions of patient navigators and case managers were organized into nine emerging categories: (1) advocacy; (2) care coordination; (3) case monitoring and patient needs assessment; (4) community engagement; (5) education; (6) administration and research activities; (7) psychosocial support; (8) navigation of services; and (9) reduction of barriers. The background and knowledge areas of each role were compared and contrasted, and three categories related to the practice context of each role were identified: (1) typical setting and care trajectory; (2) target patient population; and (3) mode of service delivery. CONCLUSIONS The current study identified important differences in the functions between patient navigators and case managers. However, there remains significant ambiguity between the functions of these two roles. Standardized definitions detailing scope of practice, and allowing for inherent flexibility across different settings, are needed to improve service delivery.

Abstract
Background Globally the older population is increasing rapidly. As a result there is an increase in frail older persons living within the community, with increased risks of a hospital admission and higher mortality and morbidity rates. Due to complexity of care, health care professionals face challenges in providing effective case management and avoiding unplanned admissions to hospital. A community virtual ward (CVW) model was developed to assist health care professionals to support older persons at home during periods of illness and/or functional decline. Methods A quantitative observational study was conducted to examine if a CVW model of care reduced unplanned hospital admissions and emergency department (ED) presentations in 54 patients over a 12-month period. The sign-rank test examined matched data on bed days, ED presentations, and unplanned hospital admissions pre- and post-CVW implementation. Other risk factors for admission to hospital were examined using the Mann–Whitney test pre-and post-CVW admission, including falls, living alone, and cognition. Correlations between hospital admission avoidances and unplanned hospital admissions and ED presentations were tested using Spearman’s ρ test. Results There was a reduction in ED presentations post-CVW admission (P<0.001), and median unscheduled admissions were reduced (P=0.001). Those living alone had a lower number of ED presentations (median 0.5, interquartile range 0–1) prior to admission in comparison to those living with a caregiver, with no differences observed during admission to CVW. For those who experienced a fall during CVW admission, the odds ratio (OR) of requiring long-term care doubled for each extra fall (OR =2.24, 95% CI 1.11 to 4.52, P=0.025). Reduced cognition was associated with an increased risk of ED presentations (ρ=0.292, P<0.05) but not associated with increased risks of unplanned hospital admissions (ρ=0.09, P=0.546). There were no significant correlations seen between admission avoidance and the number of unplanned hospital admissions or ED presentations. Conclusion Through an integrated approach to care, a CVW model in the care of older persons can reduce ED presentations and unplanned hospital admissions.

Abstract
This aim of this preliminary experimental study was to integrate effective evidence-based community-care services that are subjected to heavy caseloads, and to then examine the effects on individuals with schizophrenia. Using a cluster sampling method, four homecare nurses were randomly assigned to either the experimental group or the comparison group. The nurses in the experimental group applied the following six identified effective elements: (1) established an alliance with their patients; (2) assessed patient-care needs; (3) considered both medical and social-care practices; (4) addressed patients' self-management of medication and their daily tasks; (5) provided crisis intervention; and (6) coordinated resources. The patients comprised 85 individuals with schizophrenia. In the experimental group, psychiatric homecare nurses were randomly assigned to implement integrated, evidence-based community-care services during a six-month follow-up period. Patients in the comparison group continued to receive their customary community care. In the experimental group, patient satisfaction scores, medication attitudes, and general functioning levels were significantly higher than in the comparison group. These preliminary findings indicate a potentially effective model for community care in areas where intensive case management cannot be provided.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The community matron (CM) role was introduced in England to provide a single point of access to patients living with comorbid long-term conditions who had, or were at risk of, frequent emergency hospitalisation. AIM This study explored the factors that affected embedding of the CM role. The qualitative study was undertaken in community health services in two cities and a rural area in central England. METHOD Participants comprised health professionals (n=30) including CMs, community service managers, and service commissioners; patients (n=10); and their family carers (n=5). RESULTS Findings reveal that participants were largely positive about the role. However, difficulties with role setup had led to numerous changes in service delivery, which affected how the role has embedded. CONCLUSION Many aspects of the CM role are invisible to other health professionals. Invisibility of community nursing, rather than autonomy of the CM role, seems to be a key factor in the challenges of embedding the role.
