Three themes emerged from the interviews: The relief of integrated treatment, Reclaiming time from the emergency room, and Finding sanctuary at home. The findings reveal that older adults particularly valued the MGT’s comprehensive view of their medical history and medication, highlighting how this holistic approach provided significant comfort. Participants also emphasized the relief brought by staff continuity and the ability to receive acute medical treatments in the familiarity of their own homes, thereby avoiding the stress and inconvenience of emergency room visits. While reducing emergency room visits was a stated goal of the MGT, this study distinctively illuminates the profound positive impact of this outcome from the older adults’ perspective. These findings demonstrate a project successfully aligning with initiatives for good, close, and coordinated care, ultimately promoting health and well-being for older adults.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51665,"journal":{"name":"Ageing International","volume":"50 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s12126-025-09615-x.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144880811","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ethical issues related to the principle of respect for autonomy; beneficence, and non-maleficence; and justice were identified. Characteristically, ethical issues arose in daily life and were related to the “routinization” and “regularity”. Value conflict among other professionals was characterized by the conflict between the Care workers’ emphasis on the independence and quality of life of older people and the medical professionals’ emphasis on prolonging life and treatment. The reason behind this conflict was that care workers ware positioned at the lowest level of all care providers.

Caregivers received pre-education on Person-Centered Care (PCC) and mid-term feedback, during which natural conversations with PWD were unobtrusively recorded using a long-distance audio device. Transcribed conversations were analyzed using a mixed-methods approach that combined quantitative and qualitative analyses to evaluate the quantity and quality of communication in dementia care. Quantitative results demonstrated that communication time increased for both caregivers and PWD, particularly after the mid-term feedback. Additional piecewise and spline regression analyses indicated that the caregiver’s communication time and the PWD’s emotional state positively influenced the increase in PWD communication. For the qualitative analysis, Dementia Care Mapping—an analytical framework grounded in PCC—was used to evaluate communication based on the five psychological needs of PWD. Initially, negative aspects such as outpacing, infantilization, invalidation, and accusation were frequently observed; however, following the feedback, communication shifted toward personhood-enhancing behaviors such as a relaxed pace, warmth, respect, and acceptance. Drawing on findings from this mixed-methods analysis, the authors conclude that the changes in communication may have been facilitated by field-based training and feedback. However, more rigorous research designs and additional studies are needed to support generalization. This pilot study suggests the potential of technology-enhanced, field-based training to improve caregivers’ person-centered communication skills.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51665,"journal":{"name":"Ageing International","volume":"50 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145142527","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 conducted five co-design workshops with healthcare professionals and older people who had experienced frequent hospital presentations, to explore ways to improve the transition from hospital to home. The workshops culminated in the co-design of a Care transition Coordinator (CTC) role. We undertook a 6-month pilot study in one metropolitan hospital in Adelaide, Australia, to determine the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of the role from an older person and health system perspective. Descriptive data were extracted from Comprehensive Geriatric Assessments, action sheets, patient checklists, and hospital databases, while semi-structured interviews were conducted with service users, providers, and referrers and thematically analysed to provide qualitative insights into the service. Thirty-five older people were cared for by the CTC during their transition from hospital to home. The CTC was perceived to meet the needs of older people and was well received by older people, their families/carers, and referrers. However, there were some challenges to the feasibility of the service from a service-provider perspective.
