This book was released on 2011 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the next ten years, the United States will face the greatest shift in demographics in history. Worldwide, the baby boomer generation is aging quickly, most importantly, who will provide nursing care to this group of people who will also require the greatest proportion of health care resources. Current research reveals very few baccalaureate student nurse graduates express interest in self-selecting gerontology as a career choice. The purpose of this qualitative study (N=8) was to identify why new registered nurses do not choose gerontology as a career choice. The sources of data for the study were comprised of a demographic profile of each student, students' journals and the researcher's notes from the students' responses to twelve scripted questions. The most salient themes identified as to why new registered nurses do not self-select gerontology as a career specialty, were: ageism; unsatisfactory professional mentors and role models; feelings of powerlessness to change the long-term care nursing model of long term care facilities, and inadequate academic and clinical preparation to feel competent care giving to the elderly population.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this dissertation was to determine if nurses' attitudes towards older people influence their decisions to activate or not activate rapid response teams and to explore how nurses describe care of the elderly patient. In Chapter I, a review of the literature indicated that the majority of patients in acute care hospitals are over age 65, and rapid response team activation rates are lower than desired leading to higher cardiac arrest rates and poor outcomes. Research suggests ageist attitudes are pervasive in healthcare settings resulting in substandard care for the elderly. No research to date has explored if ageist attitudes could be a factor in activation of rapid response teams. Questions not addressed in the literature include: How do nurses describe their experiences in caring for elderly patients?; How do nurses describe the impact of attitudes toward the elderly on decisions to activate or not activate RRT? To address these questions, a narrative analysis was conducted to better describe nurses' experiences in caring for elderly patients. Chapter II describes the common themes that emerged from nurses' experiences with older patients and rapid response teams. A primary theme of Older Patients: A Narrative of Social Interaction was evident in the narrative as nurses described how they favor older patients who can tell stories from the past. A hesitancy to act and call rapid response team for a declining patient is discussed under the theme, A Second Set of Eyes. Clinical judgment and how nurses' describe their own and peer's decisions to activate or not activate rapid response team is delineated by the theme, Clinical Judgement and Novice Nurses . The narratives illustrate new knowledge about activating RRT for older patients and reinforces some known barriers. Chapter III describes how the Synergy Model can be used as a systematic framework for analyzing individual clinical scenarios and describe the patient in a continuum from highly stable to minimally stable.

This book was released on 2016-11-08 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Family caregiving affects millions of Americans every day, in all walks of life. At least 17.7 million individuals in the United States are caregivers of an older adult with a health or functional limitation. The nation's family caregivers provide the lion's share of long-term care for our older adult population. They are also central to older adults' access to and receipt of health care and community-based social services. Yet the need to recognize and support caregivers is among the least appreciated challenges facing the aging U.S. population. Families Caring for an Aging America examines the prevalence and nature of family caregiving of older adults and the available evidence on the effectiveness of programs, supports, and other interventions designed to support family caregivers. This report also assesses and recommends policies to address the needs of family caregivers and to minimize the barriers that they encounter in trying to meet the needs of older adults.
