However, care home staff do not consistently promote relationship-centred mealtimes. This secondary analysis examined the impact of factors (selected based on the Theory of Planned Behaviour) upon care home staff interest in making mealtimes more relationship-centred. Data were from a cross-sectional, quantitative survey of 670 care home staff from North America. We used multivariable logistic regression to test hypotheses. The model was statistically significant, and explained 13 per cent of the variance in staff members' interest in making mealtimes more relationship-centred. Respondents who were more satisfied with current mealtime practices, had used collaborative change strategies in the past, and who perceived organizational support for relationship-centred care were more likely to have interest in making mealtimes more relationship-centred. These are modifiable factors to target in interventions designed to promote care home staff interest in making mealtimes more relationship-centred.","PeriodicalId":47613,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal on Aging-Revue Canadienne Du Vieillissement","volume":" ","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143796672","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a response, many participants described engaging in certain actions (e.g., lifestyle behaviours, following public health protocols, coping mechanisms) to potentially increase their feelings of personal agency.Discussion: This study suggests that creators of public messaging pertaining to older age must be mindful of the ways that it may fuel a vulnerability narrative.","PeriodicalId":47613,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal on Aging-Revue Canadienne Du Vieillissement","volume":" ","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143731495","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Linear regression models adjusted for individual factors were used to examine the relationship between home care and changes in SwL at two time points.Results: Receiving home care was associated with declining SwL. The association was different for formal and informal care, and to some extent, for men and women. Changes in health mainly explained the association of SwL with formal but not informal care.Discussion: The connection between home care and declining SwL suggests that some people's needs are not met, especially by informal care, which negatively affects life satisfaction.

L'objectif de cet article est de présenter les enjeux éthiques liés à la maltraitance organisationnelle perpétrée envers les personnes aînées qui reçoivent des services de soutien à domicile. Une approche d'inspiration phénoménologique utilisée auprès d'ergothérapeutes pour identifier les enjeux éthiques de leur pratique a mené à une analyse des enjeux éthiques spécifiquement liés à des situations de maltraitance organisationnelle. Quinze ergothérapeutes (n=15) œuvrant en soutien à domicile au Québec ont été rencontrés dans le cadre d'entretiens individuels. L'analyse a été effectuée en utilisant une perspective écologique. Les résultats de l'analyse révèlent plusieurs enjeux éthiques complexes de nature micro, méso et macrosystémiques, dont l'abandon administratif des bonnes pratiques, l'accès déficitaire aux services, la chosification de l'aîné, la dépersonnalisation des services et la tolérance des violences.","PeriodicalId":47613,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal on Aging-Revue Canadienne Du Vieillissement","volume":" ","pages":"1-13"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143650767","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Family and resident councils constitute one method of raising these voices, but there is currently a gap in evidence of how to promote the effectiveness of these councils. We conducted five focus groups and two interviews with LTC home leaders, residents, family members, and advocates in British Columbia using a participatory approach integrating knowledge-users throughout the research process. Using a framework analysis, we found modifiable (communication, structure, recruitment/engagement, council leadership, culture/attitudes, and resources/supports) and non-modifiable factors (medical complexity of residents and short lengths of stay) affecting council effectiveness. We discuss strategies implemented by knowledge-users to address modifiable effectiveness factors and construct a preliminary tool (a 35-question survey) that operationalizes and identifies areas that can increase council effectiveness in practice to ensure that their voices are heard in LTC decision making.","PeriodicalId":47613,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal on Aging-Revue Canadienne Du Vieillissement","volume":" ","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143544176","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
