Moving from place to place in the last year of life: A qualitative study identifying care setting transition issues and solutions in Ontario
Abstract Moving from one care setting to another is common as death nears. Many concerns exist over these end‐of‐life (EOL) care setting transitions, including low‐quality moves as mistakes and other mishaps can occur. Delayed or denied moves are also problematic, such as a move out of hospital for dying inpatients who want to spend their last hours or days at home. The aim of the study was to identify current issues or problems with care setting transitions during the last year of life as well as potential or actual solutions for these problems. A grounded theory analysis approach was used based on interviews with 3...

Practitioners ’ perspectives on community‐based breast cancer survivorship care in Singapore: A focus group study
Abstract With the long‐term goal of optimising the delivery of breast cancer survivorship care in Singapore, we conducted a qualitative study to gather in‐depth descriptions from community practitioners (general practitioners and community pharmacists) about their perceptions of community‐based cancer survivorship care in Singapore. Sixteen participants (11 general practitioners and five community pharmacists) participated in four structured focus group discussions between August and November 2016. The focus group discussions were analysed using deductive content analysis. The majority of community practitioners do n...

The meaning and experience of stress among supported employment clients with mental health problems
Abstract Many clinicians are concerned that competitive work may cause excessive stress for people with severe mental health problems. Individual Placement and Support (IPS) is acknowledged as the most effective model of supported employment for this population. The manner in which IPS clients define and experience employment‐related stress is poorly understood. This qualitative study aims to explore how people with mental health problems receiving IPS services define and experience employment‐related stress. We purposively sampled and interviewed 16 clients of an IPS programme, who had been competitively employed for ...

Vouchers for primary healthcare services in an ageing world? The perspectives of elderly voucher recipients in Hong Kong
Abstract Considering the ageing population in economically advanced regions across the world, measures are necessary to enhance the health of the older population as well as contain public healthcare spending. Hong Kong implements the Elderly Health Care Voucher Scheme (EHCVS), providing older people aged 65 or above an annual subsidy of visiting private healthcare service providers for chronic disease prevention and management. The services also aim at reallocating demand from the public to private sector as well as improve quality of services. This qualitative study explored the experiences of EHCVS recipients (n = 55,...

Communicating risk in dementia care: Survey of health and social care professionals
This study did not find a significant association between numeracy and accurate perceptions of risk likelihoods in practice‐based scenarios. Although 86% reported using numeric information in practice (mostly from assessment tools), respondents rarely communicated themselves using numbers. As in other domains, participants’ responses were widely variable on numeric estimates of verbal terms for likelihood. In relation to medication side effects, few participants provided responses that were concordant with those in the guidance of the European Union. The risks most commonly encountered in practice were (in rank order):...

Measuring cancer caregiver health literacy: Validation of the Health Literacy of Caregivers Scale –Cancer (HLCS‐C) in an Australian population
Abstract Caregivers have been largely neglected in health literacy measurement. We assess the construct validity, and internal consistency of the Health Literacy of Caregivers Scale–Cancer (HLCS‐C), and present a revised, psychometrically robust scale. Using data from 297 cancer caregivers (12.4% response rate) recruited from Melbourne, Australia between January–July 2014, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was conducted to evaluate the HLCS‐C's proposed factor structure. Items were evaluated for: item difficulty, unidimensionality and overall item fit within their domain. Item‐threshold‐ordering was examined t...

Formal and informal care for community ‐dwelling frail elderly people over time: A comparison of integrated and usual care in the Netherlands
Abstract While integration has become a central tenet of community‐based care for frail elderly people, little is known about its impact on formal and informal care and their dynamics over time. The aim of this study was therefore to examine how an integrated care intervention for community‐dwelling frail elderly people affects the amount and type of formal and informal care over 12 months as compared to usual care. A quasi‐experimental design with a control group was used. Data regarding formal and informal care were collected from frail elderly patients (n = 207) and informal caregivers (n = 74) with pre/post...

Can specially trained community care workers effectively support patients and their families in the home setting at the end of life?
This study suggests that satisfactory outcomes for patients and their families who wish to have end‐of‐life care in the home can be enabled with the additional support of specially trained CCWs. A notable benefit of the PCHSP model, which provided specific palliative care vocational training to an existing community care workforce, was a relatively rapid increase in the palliative care workforce across the state.
