A typology of integrated care policies in the care home sector: A policy document analysis @article{6f074fec61b44f2aaf4bab64d4c9386c, title = "A typology of integrated care policies in the care home sector: A policy document analysis", abstract = "Background: Health and social care systems in many countries have begun to trial and adopt “integrated” approaches. Yet, the significant role care homes play within the health and social care system is often understated. A key first step to identifying the care home integration interventions that are most (cost-)effective is the ability to precisely identify and record what has been implemented, where, and when—a “policy map.” Methods: To address gaps relating to the identification and recording of (cost-)effective integrated care home interventions, we developed a new typology tool. We conducted a policy mapping exercise in a devolved region of England—Greater Manchester (GM). Specifically, we carried out systematic policy documentary searches and extracted a range of qualitative data relating to integrated health and social care initiatives in the GM region for care homes. The data were then classified according to existing national ambitions for England as well as a generic health systems framework to illustrate gaps in existing recording tools and to iteratively develop a novel approach. Results: A combined total of 124 policy documents were identified and screened, in which 131 specific care home integration initiatives were identified. Current initiatives emphasized monitoring quality in care homes, workforce training, and service delivery changes (such as multi-disciplinary teams). There was comparatively little emphasis on financing or other incentive changes to stimulate provider behavior for the care home setting. We present a novel typology for capturing and comparing care home integration policy initiatives, largely conceptualizing which part of the system or specific transition point the care home integration is targeting, or whether there is a broader cross-cutting system intervention being enacted, such as digital or financial interventions. Conclusions: Our typology builds on the gaps in current frameworks, including previous lack of specificity to care homes and lack of adaptability to new and evolving initiatives internationally. It could provide a useful tool for policymakers to identify gaps in the implementation of initiatives within their own areas, while also allowing researchers to evaluate what works most effectively and efficiently in future research based on a comprehensive policy map.", keywords = "health policy, integrated care, care homes, long-term care, social care, Policy, Motivation, Delivery of Health Care, Integrated, Document Analysis, England", author = "Glenn Simpson and Charlotte Entwistle and Andrea Short and Marcello Morciano and Jonathan Stokes", note = "Funding Information: This research was funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR), Research for Social Care within Research for Patient Benefit (RfPB) Programme through the “Supporting the spread of effective integration models for older people living in care homes: A mixed method approach” project, NIHR201872 and the Applied Research Collaboration for Greater Manchester.

Dirty laundry @article{4d2b34e4b6714dfaa0a9338501a1040e, title = "Dirty laundry: The nature and substance of seeking relationship help from strangers online", abstract = "Interpersonal relationships are vital to our well-being and, in recent years, it has become increasingly common to seek relationship help through anonymous online platforms. Accordingly, we conducted a large-scale analysis of real-world relationship help-seeking to create a descriptive overview of the nature and substance of online relationship help-seeking. By analyzing the demographic characteristics and language of relationship help-seekers on Reddit (N = 184,631), we establish the first-ever big data analysis of relationship help-seeking and relationship problems in situ among the general population. Our analyses highlight real-world relationship struggles found in the general population, extending beyond past work that is typically limited to counselling/intervention settings. We find that relationship problem estimates from our sample are closer to those found in the general population, providing a more generalized insight into the distribution and prevalence of relationship problems as compared with past work. Further, we find several meaningful associations between relationship help-seeking behavior, gender, and attachment. Notably, several gender differences in help-seeking and romantic attachment emerged. Our findings suggest that, contrary to more traditional contexts, men are more likely to seek help with their relationships online, are more expressive of their emotions (e.g., discussing the topic of “heartache”), and show language patterns generally consistent with more secure attachment. Our analyses highlight pathways for further exploration, providing even deeper insights into the timing, lifecycle, and moderating factors that influence who, what, why, and how people seek help for their interpersonal relationships.", keywords = "Relationship help-seeking, natural language analysis, relationship problems, attachment, social media", author = "Charlotte Entwistle and Horn, {Andrea B.} and Tabea Meier and Boyd, {Ryan L}", year = "2021", month = dec, day = "31", doi = "10.1177/02654075211046635", language = "English", volume = "38", pages = "3472--3496", journal = "Journal of Social and Personal Relationships", issn = "0265-4075", publisher = "Sage Publications", number = "12", } .

However, rigorous evaluation is lacking, particularly what guidance or support is valued.OBJECTIVETo investigate effects of memory aids and guidance by Dementia Support Practitioners (DSPs) for people in early stage dementia through a pragmatic, randomised controlled trial.METHODSOf 469 people with mild to moderate dementia and their informal carers, 468 were randomised to a DSP with memory aids or to usual care plus existing dementia guide. Allocation was stratified by: Trust/Health Board; time since first attendance at memory service; gender; age; and living with primary carer or not. Primary outcome was Bristol Activities of Daily Living Scale (BADLS) score at 3 and 6 months (primary end-point). Secondary outcomes for people with dementia: quality of life (CASP-19; DEMQOL); cognition and functioning (Clinical Dementia Rating Scale; SMMSE); capability (ICECAP-O); social networks (LSNS-R); and instrumental daily living activities (R-IDDD). Secondary outcomes for carers: psychological health (GHQ-12); sense of competence (SSCQ).RESULTSDSPs were successfully trained, compliance was good and welcomed by participants. Mean 6 months BADLS score increased to 14.6 (SD 10.4) in intervention and 12.6 (SD 8.1) in comparator, indicative of greater dependence in the activities of daily living. Adjusted between group difference was 0.38 (95\% confidence interval -0.89 to 1.65, P=0.56). Though this suggests greater dependency in the intervention group the difference was not significant. No differences were found in secondary outcomes.

The Dementia Early Stage Cognitive Aids New Trial (DESCANT) intervention @article{236c0f36f8f74089886e731d5ef6d700, title = "The Dementia Early Stage Cognitive Aids New Trial (DESCANT) intervention: A goal attainment scaling approach to promote self-management", abstract = "OBJECTIVES: This study investigated goals identified by people with dementia and their carers to promote the self-management of symptoms and abilities; measured achievement using goal attainment scaling (GAS); and explored the reflections of Dementia Support Practitioners (DSPs) facilitating it.METHODS AND DESIGN: Within this pragmatic randomised trial, DSPs gave memory aids, training and support to people with mild to moderate dementia and their carers at home. Data were collected across seven NHS Trusts in England and Wales (2016-2018) and abstracted from intervention records and semi-structured interviews with DSPs delivering the intervention, supplemented by a subset of the trial dataset. Measures were created to permit quantification and descriptive analysis and interview data thematically analysed. A GAS measure for this intervention in this client group was derived.RESULTS: Engagement was high across the 117 participants and 293 goals were identified. These reflected individual circumstances and needs and enabled classification and assessment of their attainment. Seventeen goal types were identified across six domains: self-care, household tasks, daily occupation, orientation, communication, and well-being and safety. On average participants achieved nominally significant improvement regarding the specified goals of 1.4 with standard deviation of 0.6. Five interviews suggested that DSPs' experiences of goal setting were also positive.CONCLUSIONS: GAS is useful for assessing psychosocial interventions for people with early-stage dementia. It has a utility in identifying goals, promoting self-management and providing a personalised outcome measure. There is a strong case for exploring whether these clear benefits translate to other interventions in other populations in other places.", author = "\{Members of the HoSt-D (Home Support in Dementia) Programme Management Group\} and Helen Chester and Rebecca Beresford and Paul Clarkson and Charlotte Entwistle and Vincent Gillan and Jane Hughes and Martin Orrell and Rosa Pitts and Ian Russell and Eileen Symonds and David Challis", note = "{\textcopyright} 2020 John Wiley \& Sons Ltd.", year = "2020", month = dec, day = "15", doi = "10.1002/gps.5479", language = "English", journal = "International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry.", issn = "0885-6230", publisher = "John Wiley \& Sons Ltd", } .
