Secondary aims included: identifying high utilizers of the ED (defined as more than three ED visits within 6 months), reinforcing discharge instructions from the ED via nursing education on telephone follow ups, and identifying the reasons patients used the ED.Method: Baseline data were gathered retrospectively by reviewing charts of patients discharged from the ED. Charts were reviewed from a biweekly automated report, and RNs initiated follow-up phone calls to patients discharged from the ED, offering appointments and providing pertinent nursing education.Results: Primary care follow ups after ED discharges increased from 38% to 71% over 10 months with the new nurse-led workflow. Patients to whom the RN outreached to were more likely to attend their follow-up appointments. However, a 14-day follow-up appointment with the primary care provider (PCP) showed no significant difference in ED revisits or hospital admissions.Conclusion: Follow up after ED discharge led to increased coordination of care. Nurses provided education about chronic conditions and reiterated discharge instructions that might have been unclear to patients in the ED. Further studies are needed to analyze the effect of follow up with the PCP on ED utilization and hospital admissions.

The education nursing students receive about older adults often focuses on managing illnesses rather than promoting health. To expand the education that nursing students receive regarding health promotion and older adults, we examined nursing students' perceptions of an e-learning activity on health promotion with older adults.Method: We used a cross-sectional survey design. We included first-year baccalaureate nursing students (N = 260) at a Canadian university. Students were required to complete the module, but only those who wanted to participate in the study completed the survey (n = 167; response rate = 64.2%). We used a feedback survey to assess students' perceptions of the e-learning activity using four 5-point, Likert-type items. We also asked one open-ended question to solicit participants' feedback and suggestions for improving the e-learning activity. Descriptive statistics (frequency, mean [SD]) were used to summarize participants' perceptions and demographic characteristics. Content analysis was used to explore responses to the open-ended question.Results: Participants reported that the module increased their knowledge about health promotion, as well as their perceptions and confidence in working with older adults. Participants also found the method of instruction interactive and enjoyable.Conclusion: Our e-learning activity on health promotion was perceived by nursing students as helpful in sensitizing them to their role in promoting health among older adults.

Unfortunately, multiple barriers to aging in place continue to exist, especially for vulnerable populations. Achieving this goal will require innovative nurse-led models of care and new policies for RN reimbursement. The current article describes a nurse-led clinic implemented in one community.Method: Using an evidence-based nurse-led model of care, a team of university faculty, students, and a family nurse practitioner designed and implemented a nurse-led clinic for a religious community in the Pacific Northwest.Results: Today, the nurse-led clinic offers care coordination and primary care to support aging in place and is one example of a nurse-led model well-positioned to address the aging in place needs of vulnerable populations.Conclusion: Replication and sustainability of this nurse-led model requires sweeping policy change, including consideration of requiring all nurses to attain a National Provider Identification number to expand RN reimbursement and ultimately increase access to care.

Understanding the role of EE in the dementia context could help in the development of appropriate interventions.Method: The current review synthesized relevant literature to investigate the prevalence and correlates of EE status in families of people with dementia. A comprehensive search of four databases from inception to 2022 produced 2,683 papers; 18 studies met inclusion criteria.Results: The use of EE criteria differed not only across cultural contexts, but even within the same cultural context. Overall, the prevalence of EE in families with dementia compared with other psychiatric conditions was not high.Conclusion: Specific changes in EE over time remain to be explored, and findings emphasize the need to carefully discriminate High EE status based on the cultural background of family members with dementia.

Nurses will be at the forefront of providing competent care to this population, but many nurses do not wish to work with the aged population after graduation. The current study sought to explore whether the addition of a clinical shift at an assisted living community promoted positive attitudes by nursing students toward older adults and exposed them to healthy aging.Methods: Students (N = 70) in a required undergraduate course at a large university in the West received clinical experience at local assisted living communities in which they independently interviewed a resident and provided an educational session to residents.Results: Students, communities, and clinical instructors had a positive experience in this clinical, finding it rewarding and meaningful and a mechanism for observing healthy aging.Conclusion: The incorporation of a clinical experience at an assisted living facility into a stand-alone gerontology course created a positive shift in nursing student attitudes toward older adults, dispelled myths and stereotypes, and was reported to be a meaningful experience.

The control group comprised 37,626 rehabilitation hospital patients aged ≥60 years without sacral ulcers. Binary logistic regression was used to identify risks for sacral ulcer development adjusting for patient demographics, insurance type, and lifestyle.Results: Comorbidities of dementia, Parkinson's disease, type 2 diabetes, and cardiac dysrhythmias were significantly associated with increased risk of sacral ulcers. Longer length of stay, Medicare, and Medicare HMO were also associated with sacral ulcers. Demographically, older age, male sex, identifying as African American, and having malnutrition all had a 50% increased prevalence of sacral ulcers.Conclusion: Findings indicate a need to proactively treat chronic comorbidities in vulnerable populations to reduce their possible risk for hospital-acquired infections and excess mortality from sacral ulcers.
