Systematic Training Program for Nursing Home Staff Based on the Concept of Combination of Medicine and Care, 2020.

The study aimed to develop a training program for medical personnel in nursing homes.

Quantitative design utilizing an experimental approach with experimental and control groups, subjected to statistical analysis.

The sample included 34 nursing staff working in nursing homes in Qiqihar City.

The experimental group underwent systematic training at three levels over four months.

Competence scores were compared between the experimental and control groups.

The living quality of the elderly in nursing homes and their satisfaction levels were assessed.

The experimental group reported significantly higher competence scores, and the elderly residents in the experimental group had higher living quality and satisfaction levels.

Nursing staff should routinely undergo systematic training based on the concept of combining medicine and care.

The article supports the proposed EBP practice project proposal by providing evidence that training enhances the capacity of medical personnel to provide adequate care to the elderly in long-term care facilities.

Training Staff in Long-Term Care Facilities–Effects on Residents’ Symptoms, Psychological Well-Being, and Proxy Satisfaction, 2021.

The study aimed to investigate how training affects medical staff’s management of pain symptoms, psychological well-being, and satisfaction in long-term care facilities.

Quantitative design employing a cluster randomized controlled trial.

The sample included 324 residents with end-of-life care needs in 20 long-term care facility wards in Helsinki.

The training intervention consisted of four 4-hour educational workshops on palliative care principles.

Residents were assessed for symptoms, pain, psychological well-being, and proxies’ satisfaction.

The intervention group exhibited better symptom management results at 6 months, with some effects diminishing at 12 months. Pain management, psychological well-being, and proxies’ satisfaction scores were unaffected by the intervention.

Nursing staff should undergo palliative care training intervention to improve residents’ symptom management.

The article supports the proposed EBP practice project proposal by highlighting that training intervention enhances nurses’ capacity to provide adequate care to the elderly in long-term care facilities.

Useful Lessons for the Provision of Services in Long-Term Care Facilities in South Korea: Operators’ Experiences Illuminate the Phenomenon of Working with the Elderly in the Field, 2019.

The study aimed to collect insights from facility operators regarding elderly long-term care facilities.

Qualitative design, phenomenological study with 10 participants.

The participants included 10 operators of nursing home businesses.

The study involved interviews with the participants and thematic analysis of the interview responses.

Four themes emerged: obtaining hope through care provision, challenges faced in practice, the dream of an ideal long-term care facility, and the journey of starting as a facility operator.

The study revealed various barriers and hardships that operators face when providing person-centered health care services.

Addressing these barriers is essential.

The article supports the proposed EBP practice project proposal by highlighting significant shortcomings in the capacity of long-term care facilities to meet the needs of their elderly patients/residents.

Relocation Experiences of the Elderly to a Long-Term Care Facility in Taiwan: A Qualitative Study, 2020.

The study aimed to explore the experiences of elderly residents in a long-term care facility.

Qualitative design was employed.

The sample included 16 elderly patients who had relocated to and lived in a long-term care facility in Taiwan for up to 12 months.

Semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with the participants, and thematic analysis was applied to the interview responses.

Four themes were identified: acceptance and engagement, valuing tailored care, perceived barriers to adaptation, and staying connected with family while minimizing the burden.

Relocating elderly individuals to a long-term care facility is a dynamic process involving a range of experiences, feelings, and emotions.

Planning relocation with provisions for individually tailored care can maximize adaptation.

The article supports the proposed EBP practice project proposal by highlighting the need for individually tailored care in long-term care facilities. Identified shortcomings suggest that standard training does not adequately prepare facility personnel to meet patient needs.

Recommendations for Protecting Against and Mitigating the COVID-19 Pandemic in Long-Term Care Facilities, 2020.

The study aimed to draw attention to the COVID-19 outbreak concern among the vulnerable elderly community residing in long-term care facilities.

Qualitative design involved a literature review.

The literature search focused on relevant literature related to the

research topic, followed by synthesis of secondary literature.

Long-term care facilities are highly dynamic environments, which the vulnerable elderly population contributes to.

Medical personnel in long-term care facilities must be prepared to address dynamic needs.

The article discusses the COVID-19 pandemic and the need for enhanced infection control measures to protect residents and staff. It emphasizes that the long-term care facility environment constantly changes, requiring staff to apply innovative approaches in response. Routine training equips medical personnel to provide better care by anticipating and addressing these dynamic changes.

Educational Intervention on Physical Restraint Use in Long-Term Care Facilities – Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis, 2017.

The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of education programs among medical personnel in long-term care facilities in reducing the use of physical restraints.

Qualitative design NUR 550 RS5 Literature Evaluation Table.

Systematic review was conducted.

The literature search encompassed databases such as Physiotherapy Evidence Database, Ovid Medline, Web of Science, EBSCO, EMBASE, ProQuest, and Cochrane Library.

Meta-analysis of literature was performed.

The education group used physical restraints less frequently compared to the control group. Additionally, the effect of restraint education decreased with time. Longer education periods and more frequent education sessions had a stronger effect in reducing the use of physical restraints.

Continuous training for medical personnel in long-term care facilities is essential to enhance their ability to provide adequate care.

The article supports the proposed EBP practice project proposal by highlighting that continuous training improves the capacity of medical personnel in long-term care facilities to provide adequate care.

Qualitative design NUR 550 RS5 Literature Evaluation Table.

Systematic review was conducted.

The literature search encompassed CINAHL, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, and Medline.

Meta-analysis of literature was performed.

Care quality is influenced by factors such as advanced training provision, availability of training resources, feedback processes, building quality improvement teams, mentoring, nursing leadership training, external cooperation, and leadership empowerment.

Implementing measures compatible with nurse training can ensure the successful implementation of quality improvement programs conducive to effective service quality improvement.

Medical staff must be well-prepared to meet the care needs of older Americans, and resources must be allocated accordingly.

The article supports the proposed EBP practice project proposal by indicating that medical personnel should be prepared and allocated resources, and routine training helps maintain their readiness and ensures allocation of necessary resources.

Semi-structured, in-depth interviews were conducted by telephone, and thematic analysis was applied using Haase’s adaptation of Colaizzi’s phenomenological method.

Three themes emerged: resilience amid challenges, challenges of working on COVID-19 wards, and the duty of being fully responsible for the well-being of patients.

The Relationship Between Evidence-Based Practice and the Quadruple Aim in Healthcare

Regular and intensive training for all health-care providers is necessary to promote preparedness and efficacy in crisis management.

The article supports the proposed EBP practice project proposal by highlighting the need for routine training to prepare medical personnel to address existing and emerging needs.
