Monitoring and proactive management of chronic diseases in this context can be challenging. Early identification of deterioration reduces the risk of hospitalisation in older people, particularly in residential care, where the person can be particularly vulnerable. Deterioration of a resident often results in an expectation of in-hospital care, which especially where there are life-limiting conditions, may not align to the wishes of the person and their family. However, links between tertiary hospital services with the expertise to upskill and mentor those providing the more complex care to residents of aged care facilities need to be developed. Current models of care need to be adapted to incorporate the provision of specialist nursing within residential facilities to support higher-level care delivered in the person's familiar environment, improve the person and family experience, and reduce the costs and potential for iatrogenic problems associated with hospitalisation. Vascular dysfunction is common in aged care and results in impaired healing and complex wounds. We developed a Vascular and Geriatric (VaG) model of care to support specialist care for aged care residents with vascular dysfunction. The VaG model enhances existing links between hospital and residential care settings and builds workforce capacity in residential care facilities by the use of clinical consultation, peer learning and networking to increase the vascular skill set initially of the hospital outreach nurse and then modelled to residential care clinicians.

Design: Multicentre cross-sectional survey, conducted in January 2015.<i>Methods</i>: All nurses in surgical and medical wards in 10 hospitals in northern Italy were surveyed using the Staff Attitudes to Nutritional Nursing Care Geriatric Scale (SANN-G scale).<i>Results</i>: 799 out of 1,293 questionnaires were returned (61.8%). 23.2% (185) had a negative attitude, 56.6%(452) had a neutral attitude, and 20.2%(162), positive. Multivariate analysis showed no significant differences between medical and surgical wards (OR = 1.298; CI95% = .883-1.886, <i>p</i> = .18).<i>Conclusions</i>: It is necessary to raise nurses' awareness of poor nutritional care in both settings. More research is needed within the barriers to nutritional care.<i>Impact statement</i>: Strategies such as education and more clearly defined nutritional responsibilities are needed to improve nurses' attitudes.</p>","PeriodicalId":55633,"journal":{"name":"Contemporary Nurse","volume":"57 3-4","pages":"159-171"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2021-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/10376178.2021.1934501","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39022753","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}
