{"title":"Anchoring our science with keywords","authors":"Sarah H. Kagan PhD, RN","doi":"10.1111/opn.12607","DOIUrl":"10.1111/opn.12607","url":null,"abstract":"&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Keywords&lt;/i&gt;. Not a topic that excites many readers, I imagine. But I would like to convince you that keywords are critical to advancing science and are thus quite exciting. Think of the roles that keywords play in science. Keywords place a research report in the context of a larger body of literature. Keywords tie one research report to others addressing the same and closely related topics. Evidence syntheses are built on a foundation of keywords. Every search begins with a carefully delimited set of keywords, some of which are subject headings and others are keywords determined by the investigators. In publishing, both authors and reviewers each declare keywords. Authors list them for themselves as scholars and for their manuscript. Reviewers select them to define their expertise. Editors go on to match reviewers to manuscripts and authors to journals. In short, both science and scientific literature are anchored by keywords. Great and thanks for that overview, you think. So, what more is there to say? Quite a lot, actually.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Concerningly, keywords are commonly ineffectively or inappropriately used within gerontological nursing and beyond. Keywords appear prosaic and familiar to most of us. How hard can it be, we think to ourselves, to list a few words like ‘older people’ or ‘gerontological nursing’ when submitting our manuscripts or completing our peer reviewer accounts and then tick that task off as complete. That approach typically results in imprecise and incomplete lists of keywords, often overlooking connections to subject headings. Confusion about keywords and subject headings lies at the core of where our use of keywords commonly goes wrong.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Keywords on a manuscript may include subject headings from one or more taxonomies. But not all keywords are subject headings. Some topics may be too novel or culturally specific to have amassed sufficient science and gained recognition in one or more taxonomies. Keywords, subject headings and their use are hardly a common lecture topic made clear through robust discussion. Importantly, the correct term is ‘keywords’ and not ‘key words’. Know that, if this surprises you, you are not alone. Few of us are explicitly taught about keywords in a manner that makes using them effectively easy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Keywords are terms that describe topics represented by the content and methods used in a research project and its dissemination. They can also be applied to other types of manuscripts like commentaries and editorials. Keywords are not key or essential words used in a manuscript nor are they words simply associated with a given journal. Consequently, manuscripts submitted to this journal should not simply be identified with keywords like ‘older people’ or ‘older people nursing’ without directly studying either or both of those topics. Importantly, keywords are not structured by an organisation with formal authority to make keywords official. Rather, keywords emerge organically as authors publish ","PeriodicalId":48651,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Older People Nursing","volume":"19 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/opn.12607","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140050704","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the multitude of existing definitions and measurement tools, coupled with the continuous emergence of new tools, can create confusion and hinder precision in assessing this concept.

Five Finnish older adults' home care organisations participated as the target organisations of the study. Two of the organisations were located in large cities, one in a medium-sized provincial centre and two in rural municipalities. Three organisations provided telehomecare services with centralised service models and two with decentralised service models. In total, the organisations had 103 telehomecare workers to whom the survey was directed.&lt;/p&gt;\u0000 &lt;/section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;h3&gt; Results&lt;/h3&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;p&gt;The telehomecare workers were mostly satisfied with (55.8%) or felt neutral about (20.9%) the inclusion of telehomecare in older adults' home care. Satisfaction was strongly related to the workers' experience of telehomecare making their work easier, improving interaction and enhancing relationships of trust with clients as well as decreasing workload. Application of telehomecare to overcome the workers' physical restrictions, and also their perceptions of being able to influence whether to start working in telehomecare, were strongly related to their satisfaction with the inclusion of telehomecare in home care.&lt;/p&gt;\u0000 &lt;/section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;h3&gt; Conclusions&lt;/h3&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;p&gt;The results confirm that telehomecare job positions function well as relocated job positions in home care when workers have musculoskeletal problems or injuries.

The complex structure of informal caregiving and inadequate support result in negative health outcomes among informal caregivers.

The resultant increase in disability and care requirements among older adults is significant. However, transitional care interventions to support the efficient transition from acute care settings to home are primitive in developing countries like India.&lt;/p&gt;\u0000 &lt;/section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;h3&gt; Objective&lt;/h3&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;p&gt;This qualitative survey aimed to estimate the transitional care requirements of older adults with chronic illness discharged from acute care facilities.&lt;/p&gt;\u0000 &lt;/section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;h3&gt; Methods&lt;/h3&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;p&gt;Descriptive phenomenological approach was utilised for this qualitative study. The older adult-family caregiver dyads fulfilling the inclusion criteria were interviewed until the achievement of information saturation. The transcribed narratives between the researcher, older adults and their caregivers were thematically analysed. Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research (COREQ) served as the framework for reporting this research.&lt;/p&gt;\u0000 &lt;/section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;h3&gt; Results&lt;/h3&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;p&gt;Thirteen older adult-caregiver dyads participated in the semi-structured interview, which yielded six themes. Older adults have a hidden self with characteristics ranging between a continuum of ‘insistence’ to ‘giving up’. Caregiver attributes identified from this inquiry were exhaustion, engagement and empowerment. The remaining four themes which constitute the framework for the ‘transitional care progression’ model include ‘complications are mature when identified among older adults’, ‘medication knowledge is proportionate with its compliance’, ‘ignorance of supportive care increases caregiver burden’ and ‘deficient follow-up practices compromise health’.&lt;/p&gt;\u0000 &lt;/section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;h3&gt; Conclusions&lt;/h3&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;p&gt;Transitional care for older adults with chronic illness is premature in developing countries. However, the needs of older adults with chronic disease and their caregivers evolved from the present study align with global perspectives.
