RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Communication between patients and healthcare providers, and effective interprofessional communication, are essential to the provision of high-quality care. Implementing a patient-centred approach may lead to patients experiencing a sense of comfort, validation, and active participation in own healthcare. However, home-dwelling older adults' perspectives on interprofessional communication (IPC) are lacking. The aim is therefore to explore how home-dwelling older adults experience communication in connection with the delivery of integrated care. METHODS: The meta-synthesis was conducted in line with Noblit and Hare's seven phases of meta-ethnography. A systematic literature search was conducted by two university librarians in seven databases using the search terms 'older adults', 'communication', 'integrated care' and 'primary care'. All articles were reviewed by two authors independently. 11 studies were included for analysis. RESULTS: Older adults are aware of IPC and have preferences regarding how it is conducted. Three main themes were identified in the reciprocal analysis: (1) Inconsistent care perceived as lack of IPC, (2) individual preferences regarding involvement and awareness of IPC and (3) lack of IPC may trigger negative feelings. CONCLUSIONS: This meta-ethnography shows the perspective of older adults on IPC as part of integrated care. Our study shows that older adults are concerned about whether healthcare personnel talk to each other or not and recognise IPC as fundamental in providing consistent care. The perspectives of older adults are relevant for clinicians and politicians, as well as researchers, when developing and implementing future integrated care services for home-dwelling older adults.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Improving the transitional care of older people, especially hospital-to-home transitions, is a salient concern worldwide. Current research in the field highlights person-centered care as crucial; however, how to implement and enact this ideal in practice and thus achieve more person-centered patient pathways remains unclear. The aim of this study was to explore health care providers' (HCPs') perceptions and experiences of what is important to achieve more person-centered patient pathways for older people. METHODS: This was a qualitative study. We performed individual semistructured interviews with 20 HCPs who participated in a Norwegian quality improvement collaborative. In addition, participant observation of 22 meetings in the quality improvement collaborative was performed. RESULTS: A thematic analysis resulted in five themes which outline central elements of the HCPs' perceptions and experiences relevant to achieving more person-centered patient pathways: 1) Finding common ground through the mapping of the patient journey; 2) the importance of understanding the whole patient pathway; 3) the significance of getting to know the older patient; 4) the key role of home care providers in the patient pathway; and 5) ambiguity toward checklists and practice implementation. CONCLUSIONS: The findings can assist stakeholders in understanding factors important to practicing person-centered transitional care for older people. Through collaborative knowledge sharing the participants developed a more shared understanding of how to achieve person-centered patient pathways. The importance of assuming a shared responsibility and a more holistic understanding of the patient pathway by merging different ways of knowing was highlighted. Checklists incorporating the What matters to you? question and the mapping of the patient journey were important tools enabling the crossing of knowledge boundaries both between HCPs and between HCPs and the older patients. Home care providers were perceived to have important knowledge relevant to providing more person-centered patient pathways implying a central role for them as knowledge brokers during the patient's journey. The study draws attention to the benefits of focusing on the older patients' way of knowing the patient pathway as well as to placing what matters to the older patient at the heart of transitional care.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: In the European Union (EU), informal caregivers provide 60% of all care. Informal caregiving ranges from assistance with daily activities and provision of direct care to helping care recipients to navigate within complex healthcare and social services systems. While recent caregiver surveys document the impact of informal caregivers, systematic reviews show that they have unmet needs. Because of the political desire to reduce the length of hospital stays, older patients are discharged from the hospital 'quicker and sicker' than before. The transition between different levels of the healthcare system and the period after hospital discharge is critical for elderly patients. Caregivers' perspectives on the quality of older patients' care journeys between levels of the healthcare system may provide valuable information for healthcare providers and policymakers. This study aims to explore older patient's informal caregivers' views on healthcare quality in the hospital and in the first 30 days after hospitalisation. METHOD: We conducted semi-structured individual interviews with 12 participants to explore and describe informal caregivers' subjective experiences of providing care to older relatives. The interviews were then transcribed and analysed thematically. RESULTS: The analysis yielded the overarching theme 'Informal caregivers - a health service alliance - quality contributor', which was divided into four main themes: 'Fast in, fast out', 'Scant information', 'Disclaimer of responsibility' and 'A struggle to secure professional care'. The healthcare system seemed to pay little attention to ensuring mutual understandings between those involved in discharge, treatment and coordination. The participants experienced that the healthcare providers' main focus was on the patients' diseases, although the health services are supposed to view patients holistically. CONCLUSION: Based on the information given by informal caregivers, health services must take into account each person's needs and preferences. To deliver quality healthcare, better coordination between inter-professional care teams and the persons they serve is necessary. Health professionals must strengthen the involvement of caregivers in transitions between care and healthcare. Future work should evaluate targeted strategies for formal caregivers to cooperate, support and empower family members as informal caregivers.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Although the concept of patient participation has been discussed for a number of years, there is still no clear definition of what constitutes the multidimensional concept, and the application of the concept in an intermediate care (IC) context lacks clarity. Therefore this paper seeks to identify and explore the attributes of the concept, to elaborate ways of understanding the concept of patient participation for geriatric patients in the context of IC. METHODS: Walker and Avant's model of Concept analysis [1] based on a literature review. RESULTS: Patient participation in the context of IC can be defined as a dynamic process emphasizing the person as a whole, focusing on the establishment of multiple alliances that facilitate individualized information and knowledge exchange, and ensuring a reciprocal engagement in activities within flexible and interactive/dynamic organizational structures. CONCLUSION: Patient participation in IC means involving patients and their relatives in holistic interdisciplinary collaborative decision-making. The results highlight the complexity of patient participation and contribute to a greater understanding of the influence of organizational structure and management. PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS: The present study may provide a practical framework for researchers, policy makers and health professionals to facilitate patient participation in IC services.
