Researchers from Brown University compared hospitalizations of over 9,000 Medicare hospice residents with 27,500 nonhospice residents with similar lengths of nursing home stays. Overall, 24 percent of hospice and 44 percent of nonhospice residents were hospitalized in the last month of life. Nonhospice residents also benefited from being in nursing homes with hospice care, likely due to the hospice philosophy and practice in those facilities. Compared with residents in facilities with no hospice, hospitalization was 18 percent less likely for nonhospice residents in facilities with low hospice use and 29 percent less likely for those facilities with moderate hospice use (defined by 5 percent or more residents in hospice).

Assessment factors important to the redefinition process and intervention strategies are explored. Hope is defined as the positive expectation for meaning attached to life events with the emphasis on meaning instead of life events. The author seeks to demonstrate the importance of meaning to the feeling of hope and the possibility of socially constructing meaning to alleviate the traditional medical perspective that hope revolves around the outcome of disease.","PeriodicalId":7716,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Hospice and Palliative Medicine®","volume":"24 1","pages":"115 - 120"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84438164","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}

Method: A structured questionnaire was completed by staff members from 11 nursing homes within southern Taiwan. Questions focused on age, sex, height, weight, shift-work details, duration of current employment, nature of current employment, the presence of injury and pain during the past 12 months, the phase lag before the onset of injury, and sick leave details. Results: A total of 125 health-care workers were recruited. Most were female (89.3 percent) and employed full-time (64.8 percent) as patient care assistants (55.2 percent). Most workers were regularly involved in patient-handling tasks (61.6 percent). Almost half (36.8 percent) had suffered a musculoskeletal disorder within the previous year. Lower back injury was reported by 12.0 percent of all employees. Changing patients’ clothes and changing their bed linen were associated statistically with musculoskeletal injury (odds ratio (OR) 2.9, 95 percent confidence interval (CI) 1.4-6.3 and OR 2.8, 95 percent CI 1.4-6.1), respectively. Moving the patients was also related to injury during our research (OR 2.5, 95 percent CI 1.2-5.4). Conclusion: This study has revealed various ergonomic and demographic issues reported by palliative care workers in southern Taiwan for the first time. The prevalence of certain injuries and symptoms are different from other reports.","PeriodicalId":7716,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Hospice and Palliative Medicine®","volume":"15 1","pages":"102 - 96"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78889636","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}

This article presents information that begins to address that silence. The limited research that is available indicates that, to date, patients with a hematological malignancy and their families received scant attention with regards to the provision of palliative care. The findings presented in this article demonstrates that families are enduring considerable hardship and are left with much emotional pain and many unresolved issues when such care is not offered. It is hoped that the findings presented in this article will be used for developing effective strategies to ensure that patients with hematological malignancies and their families, no less than any others, can be afforded the dignity and respect that the appropriate provision of palliative services ensures.","PeriodicalId":7716,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Hospice and Palliative Medicine®","volume":"24 1","pages":"103 - 111"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86138436","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}

Several clinical, administrative, and financial parameters determine the financial health of inpatient care. Financial management metrics include case mix index (CMI) (as determined by the Federal Register as an assigned relative weight to the diagnosis-related group (DRG) reflecting resource consumption), direct costs, indirect costs, contribution margin, and in the future of all patient revised-DRG (APR-DRG). Both census and length of stay will have a major impact on these financial metrics. The type of patient referral and clinical decisions will influence direct costs and revenues. In the future, an international CMI or APR-DRG will allow palliative inpatient units to compare disease severity, resource utilization, and outcome measures.","PeriodicalId":7716,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Hospice and Palliative Medicine®","volume":"8 1","pages":"89 - 95"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86516881","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}

Reasons for non-identification include the difficulties of distinguishing between what can be called “appropriate sadness” and depression at the end of life and also the nondisclosure by patients of their own mood. In an effort to improve the early detection of depression, patients of all age groups referred to a clinical nurse specialist team within a six-month period were invited to complete the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS); the scale was found in an earlier study to have a sensitivity and specificity of above 80 percent at a cutoff threshold of 13 or above. The present study found that 34 percent of patients scored at or above the previously validated threshold of 13, and that younger patients (under age 50) were twice as likely to score above the threshold than were older patients (over age 70). The scale was easy to complete by patients, and staff found it useful as part of their initial assessment of patients. It is suggested that such a tool may aid the early detection and treatment of depression in palliative care patients.","PeriodicalId":7716,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Hospice and Palliative Medicine®","volume":"10 6","pages":"112 - 114"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91399931","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}

Early efforts of the committee yielded the establishment of protocols and guidelines, educational programs, pharmacy newsletters for nurses, and patient education material. In the spring of 2000, Hospice of the Bluegrass developed a preferred drug list (PDL) consisting of the medications it considered essential for effective pain and symptom control. The addition of a clinical pharmacist and a P&T committee has resulted in significant cost savings and improved pharmacotherapeutic care for patients of Hospice of the Bluegrass. This model is an option for any hospice looking to achieve the same outcomes.","PeriodicalId":7716,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Hospice and Palliative Medicine®","volume":"58 1","pages":"129 - 134"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83706130","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}
