Next of kin participation in the care of older people in nursing homes – a pre-post non-randomised educational evaluation, using within group and individual person-level comparisons

Creator/Principal investigator(s)

Albert Westergren - Kristianstad University, Faculty of health sciences orcid

Description

An instrument, Next of Kin Participation in Care (NoK-PiC) with two subscales: Communication and Trust (CaT); and Collaboration in Care (CiC), are compared within groups (control and intervention groups) before and after an educational intervention. Comparisons can be done using raw scores as well as linearized scores. Individual person level significance is given.

The project implemented an educational intervention across 30 nursing homes. The intervention consisted of five 2-hour seminars addressing the knowledge and skills considered necessary to provide evidence-based palliative care in nursing homes. The content was based on fundamental principles of palliative care. The topics covered by each seminar were: 1) the palliative approach and dignified care; 2) NoK; 3) existence and dying; 4) symptom relief and 5) collaborative care.
