The Dementia Action Alliance estimate that over 25% of beds in acute hospitals are occupied by people with dementia and their stays are longer with difficulties discharging in a timely way. 42% of unplanned admissions are people over 70 with dementia and there are high re-admission rates. The NIHR report by Gwernan-Jones et al. (2020) emphasises the need for a transformation of organisational and ward culture to improve the experience of people with dementia in hospital. For Warwick Hospital, a district general in the South Warwickshire NHS Foundation Trust (SWFT) there is enormous pressure for beds and an emphasis on flow through the hospital, including a need to reduce acute admissions and shorten length of stay. A pilot project was developed to seek to review the current data on patients with dementia in hospital, consider the assessment and interventions for delirium and advise on interventions that could both improve patient care and influence discharge. The initial findings for the project are shared alongside a review of the psychology role and challenges faced.","PeriodicalId":306496,"journal":{"name":"FPOP Bulletin: Psychology of Older People","volume":"35 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140356777","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We set out to establish the views of course facilitators in two areas: first, the benefits of LivDem for participants, their families and for facilitators; and second whether carers can be more actively involved in the course.An online survey was distributed to health and social care workers in the UK and overseas who were delivering the LivDem course. The survey explored LivDem facilitators’ opinions about the benefits of LivDem and whether families could be involved more actively in the course.Twenty-eight facilitators completed the survey, with an average course completion rate of 2.43. One participant worked in Italy and another in Ireland, with the remainder working in the UK. All respondents agreed that LivDem was of benefit to participants with dementia (e.g. by enabling them to talk more openly about their dementia) and that it also strengthened participants’ relationships with their partner. Many facilitators also felt that they had learnt new skills that they used outside the course. While respondents largely agreed that carers should be more actively involved there were strong concerns that this should not impact on participants’ ability to express themselves within sessions.This study is consistent with research elsewhere suggesting that attending the LivDem course facilitates a greater ability to talk openly about dementia. The more active involvement of carers in LivDem needs to be balanced against risks that people with dementia may be inhibited from discussing their dementia. Accordingly, the study team have begun to explore ways to deliver LivDem directly to family units.","PeriodicalId":306496,"journal":{"name":"FPOP Bulletin: Psychology of Older People","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140356803","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In countries that report low or moderate rates of suicide in older people, under recognition, under reporting, and under responsiveness may be factors that impact the statistics collected. In countries like the UK, where suicide rates in older people have fallen in line with the national average, suicide in older people occurs ambiguously, may be hidden, or not considered a deliberate act. The introduction of specialist older adult teams and legal restrictions around access to firearms, has likely had some positive impact on the reduction in suicide rate in some older people since the 1980s in the UK. However, these factors may also mean that suicide in older people occurs in individuals who do not access mental health services, or who now use methods that do not appear to be deliberate attempts to die. Psycho-social differences in suicidal older adults are outlined. Older people with complex emotional needs are at greater risk of death by suicide, if they have been given a diagnosis of ‘avoidant’ or ‘obsessive compulsive personality disorder’. It is suggested that ‘overcontrol’ is an underlying psychological need that greatly increases the risk of death by suicide in older people. Identification and treatment of overcontrol is briefly discussed.","PeriodicalId":306496,"journal":{"name":"FPOP Bulletin: Psychology of Older People","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140354474","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, little research has focused on how these issues might be addressed in clinical practice with older adults with complex mental health problems. Here we set out to understand how social isolation and loneliness present and how they could be better addressed from the perspective of older adults with complex mental health problems and the clinicians working with them. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with nine healthcare professionals and 11 service-users from an older people’s mental health team and analysed using reflexive-thematic analysis. Results showed that professionals found social isolation easier to understand and work with than loneliness and tended to address both issues by targeting behaviours (i.e. what service-users could do differently). The psychological dimensions of loneliness (i.e. service users’ thoughts and feelings) received less attention, although service-users emphasised these aspects. Other themes included the challenges faced by professionals in fostering social connections because of limited resources. We conclude that a greater awareness of the psychological dimensions of loneliness in older people with complex mental health problems is needed, as well as the resource challenges faced in creating social connections beyond mental health services.","PeriodicalId":306496,"journal":{"name":"FPOP Bulletin: Psychology of Older People","volume":"49 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140356202","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

People with MCI described feeling lost in a system between primary care, memory clinic and VCSE and felt that once they had been diagnosed that they were ‘abandoned’ as there was not a pathway for people with their diagnosis. A pilot was established to run a group for people with MCI by psychology, primary care and Age UK Berkshire and with the intention of the VCSE group running the group in the future if the pilot was successful. The six session MCI group used material developed and evaluated in Australia, the La Trobe and Caulfield Hospital Memory group programme (LaTCH memory group) which was supplemented with lifestyle change advice. Results showed significantly greater use of memory strategies post group, and the groups were liked and valued by participants. The pilot showed the benefit of working across agencies and with carers and patients to both identify and meet gaps in service provision.","PeriodicalId":306496,"journal":{"name":"FPOP Bulletin: Psychology of Older People","volume":"2 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139890188","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
