O presente relatório de estágio desenvolvido no âmbito do Mestrado em Enfermagem da Saúde Mental e Psiquiatria tem como objetivo demonstrar através de reflexão crítica o percurso efetuado até à aquisição das competências de enfermeiro especialista em enfermagem de saúde mental e psiquiatria. No âmbito da intervenção ao idoso dependente mental no domicílio desenvolvemos um percurso em dois tempos, com estágio inicial para observação de práticas em contexto de internamento de pessoas com demência e com estágio desenvolvido numa unidade de cuidados na comunidade com o projeto de uma consulta domiciliária de enfermagem ao idoso com dependências mental. Neste documento analisamos o contexto, caraterizamos os ambientes de estágio que nos acolheram e analisamos os cuidados e necessidades especiais da população idosa com dependência mental no domicílio, nomeadamente do espectro das demências. Procedemos ainda a uma análise reflexiva sobre objetivos a que nos propusemos e as intervenções que desenvolvemos fazendo uso da metodologia estudo de caso para expormos e refletirmos a mobilização e aquisição de competências de diagnóstico, intervenção e avaliação profissionais; ABSTRACT: Nursing home care appointment to elderly with mental dependence This internship report was developed under the Master in Nursing for Mental Health and Psychiatry and it aims to demonstrate through critical reflection the route made to the acquisition of specialist nursing skills in mental health and psychiatry. Within the framework of the mental dependent elderly at home we developed a route in two stages, with an initial stage to observe practices in inpatient context of people with dementia and a stage developed in the community with the design of a home-based nursing appointment of the elderly with mental dependencies. In this report we analyze the context, featuring the stage environments that welcomed us and analyze the special needs of the elderly with mental dependency at home, namely in the spectrum of dementias. We proceed further to a reflective analysis of objectives we set ourselves and the interventions developed making use of the case study methodology to expose and reflect the mobilization and acquisition of diagnostic, intervention and evaluation professional skills.

Det övergripande syftet var att undersöka kommunala riktlinjer för anhöriganställningar tillgängliga på kommunernas hemsidor, dvs regeldokument gällande situationer där en anhörig anställs för att vårda en närstående. Det övergripande syftet har byggts upp utifrån följande tre frågeställningar angående hur kommunerna i Sverige beskriver: 1) vilka situationer som berättigar anhöriganställning, 2) hur det säkerställs att den äldre personen skall få sina behov tillgodosedda samt 3) hur säkerställs den anhöriganställdes rättigheter/välmående? Det saknas lagstöd för anhöriganställningar som rättighet, och det kommunala självstyret avgör om kommunen erbjuder denna omsorgsform. På senare tid har anhöriganställningar begränsats och förbjudits i flera svenska kommuner, och enligt uppgifter är det cirka 55–65 % av Sveriges kommuner som tillåter anhöriganställningar. Det är mestadels kvinnor med utländsk bakgrund som är anhöriganställda numera, och feministisk omsorgsforskning och media lyfter fram anhöriganställningar som en kvinnofälla och som en risk för integration av invandrare. I studien inkluderas riktlinjer från totalt 21 kommuner, vilka analyserades med kvalitativ innehållsanalys enligt Elo & Kyngäs (2007). De undersökta riktlinjerna hittades från hemsidorna för Sveriges 121 medelstora och stora kommuner (mer än 20 000 invånare). Resultatet har bearbetats med hjälp av feministisk teori (Hirdman 2012). Resultatet visar att det överlag finns få riktlinjer tillgängliga i Sveriges kommuner och att regelverken skiljer sig åt i de olika kommunerna. I de riktlinjer som finns är ofta innehållet allmänna eller oklara beskrivningar. En slutsats är därför att många kommuner säkerställer sitt eget handlingsutrymme och ett tolkningsföreträde genom otydliga och allmänt hållna regler i sina riktlinjer. Utifrån ett feministiskt perspektiv kan dessa tolkningsföreträden skapa orättvisa strukturer och skillnader i förutsättningar och villkor för de äldre och för deras anhörigvårdare avseende anhöriganställningar. Slutligen visar resultatet på att de få detaljerade beskrivningarna prioriterar de äldres rättigheter framför de anhöriganställdas. Säkerställandet av de anhöriganställdas rättigheter beskrivs huvudsakligen att ske genom att kontrollera och styra de anhöriganställda. De anhöriganställda är ofta osynliga i riktlinjerna, betraktas som pseudoanställda och hamnar därför mellan stolarna vad gäller stödbehovet (Sand 2010).

Com o intuito de intervir de forma eficaz na melhoria da qualidade de vida da população idosa, é fundamental revisar o conceito de saúde para identificar os principais agravos à saúde do idoso, tais como: as doenças cardiovasculares, respiratórias e da próstata, insuficiência renal crônica, doença de Alzheimer, Parkinson, entre outras. Dentro da prática assistencial para a área de medicina, o foco central é a Atenção à Saúde do Idoso, assunto abordado no material complementar "Atenção à saúde do idoso: aspectos conceituais", do Ministério da Saúde. E em particular à mulher idosa é apresentado outro material que orienta os profissionais de saúde sobre as possíveis repercussões clínicas das transformações hormonais que acompanham o climatério ou menopausa

Home care é o termo em inglês para Assistência Domiciliar à Saúde, um modelo assistencial extra-hospitalar utilizado no cuidado à saúde dos idosos e envolve os serviços de cuidados pessoais (higiene corporal, alimentação), cuidados terapêuticos (realização de curativos, cuidados com medicação) e utilização da alta tecnologia hospitalar (diálise, quimioterapia). Alguns dos seus objetivos são manter a individualidade do idoso, humanizar o atendimento ao paciente, melhorar a qualidade de vida, reforçar os vínculos familiares e sociais, evitar os riscos de infecções hospitalares, reduzir as filas nos hospitais de emergência, dentre outros. Existem, ainda, critérios que tornam os idosos elegíveis a esse atendimento, como a estabilidade clínica que abrange os casos de idosos portadores de afecções crônicas e suas sequelas. Vale destacar que o trabalho não deve se voltar apenas para a doença, mas sim ao doente, bem como considerar o idoso como pessoa única, além da importância do contexto familiar. A Assistência Domiciliar ao idoso está totalmente inserida no contexto da Atenção Primária em Saúde por meio da implementação das equipes de Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF)

OBJECTIVE: To compare the provision of specialized home palliative care (SHPC) by the adult and pediatric SHPC teams at the Munich University Hospital. METHODS: All patients treated by one of the SHPC teams and their primary caregivers were eligible for the prospective nonrandomized survey. We analyzed the demographics, the underlying diseases, duration and impact of SHPC on symptom control and quality of life (QOL) as well as the caregivers' burden and QOL. RESULTS: Between April 2011 and June 2012, 100 adult and 43 pediatric patients were treated consecutively; 60 adults (median age, 67.5 years; 55% male) and 40 children (median age, 6 years, 57% male) were included in the study. Oncologic diseases were dominant only in the adult cohort (87 versus 25%, p<0.001). The median period of care was higher in the pediatric sample (11.8 versus 4.3 weeks; NS). Ninety-five percent of adult and 45% of pediatric patients died by the end of the study (p<0.001), 75% and 90% of them at home, respectively. The numbers of significant others directly affected by the patient's disease was higher in children (mean 3.4 versus 1.2; p<0.001). The QOL of adult patients and children (p<0.05 for both), as well as of their primary caregivers (p<0.001 for both) improved during SHPC, while the caregivers' burden was lowered (p<0.001 for both). CONCLUSIONS: Our results show important differences in several clinically relevant parameters between adults and children receiving SHPC. This should assist in the development of age-group specific SHPC concepts that effectively address the specific needs of each patient population.

Palliative care settings in many countries acknowledge families as their prime focus of care, but in Brazil, to date, researchers have devoted scant attention to that practice setting. In this article, we report the findings of a study that explored how families define and manage their lives when they have a child or adolescent undergoing palliative care at home. Data included individual semistructured interviews with 14 family members of 11 different families. Interviews were transcribed and the coding procedure featured qualitative content analysis methods. The deductive coding was based on the major components of the Family Management Style Framework and the eight dimensions comprising these components. The analysis provides insight into families' daily practices and problems inherent in managing their everyday lives that are encountered when they have a child in palliative care. The article features discussion of implications for the palliative care related development of family nursing practice.

OBJECTIVE: To understand the perception of nurses from the Family Health Strategy in relation to palliative care in the home. METHODS: A descriptive, exploratory study with a qualitative approach conducted with nine nurses from the Family Health Strategy of the municipality of Lavras - MG. Semi-structured interviews were conducted and data were subjected to content analysis. RESULTS: The various dimensions of care in the home context were identified, along with the performance and limitations of nurses in the care of the patient and his family at end of life. The capacity to establish a bond, by the proximity to people who receive their care, is a remarkable point of the action of these nurses with patients and families in end of life situations. CONCLUSION: The nurses consider the patient and his family as the unit of care, they have the opportunity to share solidarity, experiences and learning, not only from a professional standpoint, but above all, from a human one.

Aim: The aim of this study was to determine care home managers' knowledge of palliative care using the palliative care quiz for nursing (PCQN). Background: Palliative care is strongly advocated for all people living with advancing incurable illness. Within acare home setting there should be a particular emphasis on the importance of palliative care, particularly for those residents who, because of their advancing age, are likely to live with non-malignant diseases such as dementia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or heart failure to name a few. Methods: Before the beginning of a workshop on optimising palliative care for people living in care homes, 56 care home managers (all nurses) completed the PCQN, a validated questionnaire that is used to assess a nurse's knowledge of palliative care, as part of a learning exercise. Results: The quiz consisted of 20 questions for which participants could answer true, false or don't know. The average score was 12.89 correct answers out of a possible 20 (64.45%). Conclusion: This study highlights the need to develop the knowledge and competence of care home managers in relation to palliative care. This is particularly important given the increasing number of people who are living with non-malignant disease within a care home setting.

Background The study being undertaken builds on earlier work that found general practitioners (GPs) were at times uncertain of their role in paediatric palliative care and questioned whether their involvement had been beneficial to the child and family. The rarity of childhood cancer makes it difficult for GPs to develop or maintain palliative care knowledge and skills yet the GP is perceived by the family as the gatekeeper of care within the community. Aim The study is examining GPs perception of their role in caring for an individual child with cancer receiving palliative care and comparing this with families' perceptions of their GP's roles. Methodology The methodology incorporates tape-recorded semi-structured interviews, thematic framework analysis and Q methodology (QM) to capture the experiences of GPs who have cared for a child with cancer receiving palliative care as well as the perspectives of care experienced by the families. The semi-structured interview sample comprises 10 families (parents/guardians) whose child has been treated at a regional childhood cancer centre and their GPs. A further 40–60 GPs will be involved in the QM. Findings Findings detailing GP experiences from the initial study along with the preliminary findings of the semi-structured interviews with parents and GPs will be presented. Papers' contribution The results will identify and clarify GPs perceptions of their roles, and what families perceive their GPs role to be, enabling development of strategies to support GPs roles. It is anticipated that findings will inform the wider field of palliative care generally and the practice of both hospital and community paediatricians.
