Attività di ricerca presso la Claudiana

Due istituti di ricerca sotto lo stesso tetto

Il Polo Universitario delle Professioni Sanitarie Claudiana ospita al proprio interno due istituti che svolgono attività di ricerca in ambito dei servizi sanitari: Claudiana Research e il Centro di formazione specifica in Medicina Generale e Public Health. Le due strutture perseguono il fine di fornire un valido contributo al costante sviluppo del benessere e dell’assistenza sanitaria alla popolazione dell’Alto Adige.

1. Qual è la nostra visione?

Attraverso una ricerca innovativa, interdisciplinare, interprofessionale, interconnessa e (inter)nazionale, centrata sul sistema e sulla persona, contribuiamo all’acquisizione di evidenze scientifiche. L’obiettivo è acquisire nuove conoscenze “dalla pratica clinica” e “per la pratica clinica”. I risultati della nostra ricerca hanno lo scopo di supportare i professionisti sanitari, i dirigenti e i decisori politici nel garantire e migliorare la qualità dell'assistenza sanitaria in Alto Adige.

2. Quali sono i principali ambiti di ricerca?

L’attività scientifica di Claudiana Research si concentra attualmente sul settore Nursing and Health Services Research e sulle seguenti tematiche:

  • Sicurezza del paziente e qualità dell’assistenza: contribuire all’erogazione di un’assistenza sanitaria sicura, efficace, tempestiva, efficiente, equa e orientata alle esigenze della persona attraverso la raccolta e l’analisi di dati.

  • Modelli di assistenza innovativi: analisi, sviluppo e valutazione di nuovi modelli.

  • Assistenza basata sull’evidenza: promuovere il trasferimento di conoscenze che partono da quesiti della pratica clinica.

Projektbeschreibung

Hintergrund

Familienzentrierte Pflege – Bedeutung

Aus der Forschung (Kaakinen, Harmon Hanson, Gedaly-Duff, & Shirley, 2014), wie auch aus der praktischen Erfahrung ist bekannt, dass die Arbeit des Fachpersonals effektiver wird, wenn sie sich nicht nur an den Betreuten alleine richtet, sondern die Familie mit ins Zentrum ihrer Arbeit stellt. Familienzentriertes Pflegen, Betreuen und Behandeln auf der Basis eines systemischen Ansatzes führt zu besseren Outcomes bezüglich des Symptommanagements beim Betreuten und reduziert unnötige Rehospitalisationen (Kaakinen, Harmon Hanson, Gedaly-Duff, & Shirley, 2014; Wright, & Leahey, 2014; Weihs, Fisher, & Baird, 2002). Im gleichen Zug werden auch die Belastungen der pflegenden Angehörigen gemindert. Damit wird die Gesundheit der Familie als Ganzes gefördert und die Morbiditäts- und Mortalitätsrate gesenkt.

Diese Erkenntnisse haben Eingang gefunden in formulierten Strategien der WHO, insbesondere in Europa werden mit der WHO Deklaration von München 2000 die Regierungen und Gesundheitsdienstleister aufgefordert Rahmenbedingungen zu schaffen für eine gemeinde- bzw. wohnortnahe Familiengesundheitspflege (WHO, 2000).

Mit dem Internationalen Council of Nurses (ICN) haben Schober und Affara (2001) ein Rahmenkonzept für die Praxis der Family Nurse ausgearbeitet. Verschiedene europäische Länder oder Regionen haben in der Folge Ausbildungs- und Praxisprojekte lanciert.

In Südtirol ist mit dem Spezialisierungslehrgang für Familien- und Gemeinschaftskrankenpfleger/innen an der Landesfachhochschule für Gesundheitsberufe „Claudiana“ eine umfassende Spezialisierung für Krankenpflegerinnen und Krankenpfleger in den Gesundheitssprengeln geschaffen worden, welche dem Rahmenkonzept des ICN und der WHO entspricht.

Dieser Spezialisierungslehrgang bewirkt eine dringend notwendige Aufwertung und Anerkennung dieser relevanten Arbeit in der wohnortnahen Versorgung und erweitert die Kompetenzen der Krankenpflegerinnen und Krankenpfleger von einer personen- hin zu einer familienzentrierten Pflege.

Was ist Familienzentrierte- Pflege?

Die Familienzentrierte Pflege versteht den Betreuten mit seiner Familie als System und arbeitet entsprechend dem systemischen, lösungsorientierten Ansatz. Die familienzentrierte Pflege beinhaltet das von Wright und Leahey entwickelte Calgary Familien Assessment und Interventionsmodell. Seit nun mehr als 30 Jahren ist das Calgary Familien Modell in Lehre, Forschung und Praxis erprobt und in sieben Sprachen übersetzt.

Die Erfahrungen der Studierenden der ersten Kohorte (2014 – 2017) des Spezialisierungslehrgangs an der Landesfachhochschule für Gesundheitsberufe „Claudiana“ sprechen eine eindeutige Sprache.

Die Studierenden haben die Erfahrung gemacht, dass sie mit dem Rüstzeug des Lehrganges der Komplexität in der Zusammenarbeit mit den Betreuten und Familien in herausfordernden Situationen besser gewachsen sind. Sie fühlen sich nicht mehr hilflos oder überfordert, denn potentielle Schwierigkeiten und Krisen werden auf der Basis eines vertrauensvollen Beziehungsaufbaus mit der Familie früher erfasst. Auch werden mit Fachkompetenz, Geduld und Ausdauer nachhaltige Lösungen gefunden. In dieser Art und Weise bereitet die Arbeit den Krankenpflegerinnen und Krankenpflegern Bereicherung, Genugtuung und Freude: die beste Prophylaxe gegen Burn-out und Fluktuation bei Fachpersonal.

Woher kommt das Calgary Assessment- und Interventionsmodell?

Das Modell wurde von Wright und Leahey im Rahmen ihrer über 30jährigen Praxis- und Forschungserfahrung erarbeitet und kontinuierlich weiterentwickelt. Lorraine Wright gründete und führte die Family Nursing Unit an der Universität von Calgary, Kanada. Die erste englischsprachige Auflage erschien 1984 und ist unterdessen 2014 bereits in der sechsten Auflage erschienen. 2009 und 2014 erschien dann das Lehrbuch in erster und zweiter deutschsprachiger Auflage. In ihrem Lehrbuch beschreiben die renommierten, kanadischen Expertinnen wie die Bedürfnisse von Familien und Familiensystemen erhoben, wann welche Interventionen in der Familienzentrierten Pflege erforderlich sind und wie sie durchgeführt werden. Sie veranschaulichen konkret mit welcher Haltung, mit welchen Leitlinien und mit welchen Instrumenten Familien kompetent und nachhaltig begleitet werden können.

Das Calgary Assessment und Interventionsmodell verknüpft theoretische Grundlagen, Forschungsergebnisse und Expertenwissen. Die theoretischen Grundlagen beinhalten die Systemtheorie, die systemische Therapie, die Kybernetik, die Kognitionsbiologie, die Kommunikationstheorie und die Change Theory. Mit jeder neuen Auflage wurden nach und nach die aktuellen Forschungsergebnisse zum Verständnis von Erkrankung und Familie einbezogen. Zudem floss das sich ständig weiter entwickelnde Know-how der familienzentrierten Pflegepraxis mit ein. Es bildet somit eines der theoretisch, wie auch forschungsbezogen fundiertesten Wissensgrundlagen, das die Bedeutung der Zusammenarbeit von Krankenpflegerinnen und Krankenpflegern und Familien erörtert und darlegt, wie in der Interaktion krankheitsbedingtes Leiden verringert oder gelindert werden kann (Preusse-Bleuler, & Métrailler, 2012).

Zielsetzung

Das Innovationsprojekt zur Implementierung der systemischen Familienzentrierten Pflege verfolgt das Ziel die Kompetenzen der in der wohnortnahen Versorgung tätigen Krankenpflegerinnen und Krankenpfleger zu erweitern und das bestehende Versorgungsnetz, insbesondere für ältere Menschen über 65 Jahren auszubauen.

Die Familienzentrierte Pflege wird vorerst in einem der zwanzig Gesundheitssprengel des Südtiroler Sanitätsbetriebes pilotiert. Im Zuge der Implementierung wird eine Evaluationsstudie durchgeführt, um folgende Fragestellungen beantworten zu können:

- Wie unterstützt die gewählte Wissenstransfer Strategie die Translation des Wissens zur systemischen Familienzentrierten Pflege in die klinische Pflegepraxis des Pilotsprengels und wie beeinflusst er die interprofessionelle Praxis?

- Wie nehmen die über 65jährigen Einwohnerinnen und Einwohner der Pilotgemeinde den systemischen Familienzentrierten Ansatz war, welchen Nutzen des Organisationsmodells nehmen sie wahr und welche Wirkung hat der Ansatz auf die Lebensqualität der Zielgruppe?

Die spezifischen Ziele der Evaluationsstudie liegen darin:

- den Implementierungsprozess zu beschreiben, der die Translation des Wissens zur familienzentrierten Pflege in die klinische Praxis erleichtert und die Krankenpflegerinnen und Krankenpfleger darin unterstützt die Schlüsselelemente der Familienzentrierten Pflege zu übernehmen und sie nachhaltig umzusetzen;

- die Kontextfaktoren zu benennen und zu verstehen, die die Translation des Wissens zur Familienzentrierten Pflege in die klinische Praxis erleichtern oder erschweren;

- zu beschreiben, wie die Familienzentrierte Pflege die interprofessionelle Praxis beeinflusst;

- zu beschreiben, wie die Familienzentrierte Pflege von den über 65jährigen und deren Familien wahrgenommen wird und welchen subjektiven Nutzen und Wirkung sie erachten;

- zu beschreiben, wie sich die Familienzentrierte Pflege auf die Lebensqualität der über 65jährigen Einwohnerinnen und Einwohner und deren Familien auswirkt.

Aufbauend auf den Ergebnissen der Evaluationsstudie wird ein praxistaugliches Konzept zur Implementierung der Familienzentrierten Pflege in den restlichen Gesundheitssprengeln des Südtiroler Sanitätsbetriebes definiert.

Design/Methode

Zur Evaluation werden in beiden Forschungsarmen qualitative und quantitative Datenerhebungen- und Analysen durchgeführt.

Interventionen Forschungsarm 1. Translation der Familienzentrierten Pflege in den Praxisalltag des Krankenpflegeteams des Sprengels Unterland.

Teilnehmende: 15 Krankenpflegerinnen, inklusive Koordinatorin und ihre Stellvertreterin des Sprengelteams Unterland.

Intervention: das Konzept zur Translation der Familienzentrierten Pflege in den Praxisalltag des Sprengelteams besteht aus 6 Schulungstagen, dem individuellen Arbeiten mit dem Selbstlern- und Evaluationsinstrument, individuellem Coaching im Praxisalltag während eines Jahres durch eine Family Systems Study Nurse und Fallbesprechungen im Team (zweimal pro Monat).

Datenerhebung: 4 Fokusgruppeninterviews mit den Krankenpflegerinnen und Leitungspersonen zum Start des Translationsprojektes; am ersten und am letzten Schulungstag ein Plenumgespräch zu Erwartungen und Befürchtungen (Fragen im Sinne einer SWOT-Analyse); Fragebogen zur Grundhaltung mit dem Instrument Families Importance in Nursing Care–Nurses’ Attitudes FINC-NA

(Saveman, Benzein, Engström, & Årestedt, 2011) zum Start und nach einem Jahr; Selbstlern- und Evaluationsinstrument; Analyse der Pflegedokumentation bezüglich familienzentrierten Elementen vor der Schulung und nach einem Jahr.

Forschungsarm 2. Familienzentrierte präventive Hausbesuche bei der über 65-jährigen Bevölkerung der Gemeinde Aldein/Radein durch Family Systems Study Nurses.

Teilnemende: 298 Einwohner.

Intervention: die drei Family Systems Study Nurses übernehmen in diesem Forschungsarm eine doppelte Aufgabe, sie erheben Forschungsdaten und führen auch die Intervention durch.

Der jeweils erste Hausbesuch gliedert sich in zwei Teile. Im ersten Teil werden mittels des Older People’s Quality of Life Questionnaire OPQOL-35 (Bilotta, Bowling, Nicolini, Casè, Pina, Rossi, & Vergani, 2011) die Forschungsdaten erhoben und im zweiten Teil wird die eigentliche Intervention durchgeführt, nämlich das familienzentrierte gesundheitsfördernde Assessment- und Beratungsgespräch.

Datenerhebung: der OPQOL-35 Fragebogen wurde ergänzt mit spezifischen soziodemografischen Fragen. Mit Hilfe dieser soziodemografischen Daten wird die statistische Analyse präzisiert werden können. Für die Datenerhebung war entschieden worden, dass die Family Systems Study Nurse den OPQOL-35 Fragebogen mit den Teilnehmenden zusammen ausfüllt. Dies trug sicher dazu bei, dass von allen besuchten Einwohnern über 65 Jahre auch tatsächlich ein ausgefüllter OPQOL-35 Fragebogen für die Forschung vorhanden ist.

Erwarteter Nutzen/Relevanz

Der Nutzen der Familienzentrierten Pflege und des damit verbundenen Innovationsprojektes und der Evaluationsstudie kann wie folgt beschrieben werden.

Die Betreuten und deren Familienmitglieder bzw. deren von ihnen definierte Familienmitglieder fühlen sich in ihren Betreuungsprozess professionell unterstützt und begleitet. Die Familienmitglieder sind aktiv an der Planung der Pflege des Betreuten beteiligt und integriert. Durch die von Seiten der Familien- und Gemeinschaftskrankenpflegerin gegebene Wertschätzung gegenüber den pflegenden Angehörigen und dem Erkennen der Bedürfnisse durch den systemischen Ansatz der Familienzentrierten Pflege fühlen sie sich in ihrer Rolle gestärkt und anerkannt. Die vorhandenen Ressourcen des Betreuten und deren Familie können besser erkannt werden und somit angemessen in der täglichen Pflege integriert werden, dadurch kann die Belastung der pflegenden Angehörigen reduziert und vermindert werden.

Durch die Erhebung der empfundenen Lebensqualität der über 65jährigen Bürger und Bürgerinnen, ob krank oder gesund, können gezielte Maßnahmen zur weiteren Versorgung geplant werden.

Descrizione del progetto

Background

Il diabete mellito di tipo 2 è una delle cinque malattie croniche più importanti e comuni. Dalla letteratura si evince che una dieta equilibrata e una sufficiente attività fisica (stile di vita sano) sono efficaci nella prevenzione e nella gestione del diabete di tipo 2 già diagnosticato e nella prevenzione delle complicanze a lungo termine. L'assistenza si concentra sul controllo dei sintomi e sul trattamento farmacologico. C'è poco incoraggiamento e sostegno verso l'autogestione relativa ai cambiamenti nella dieta e nell'attività fisica nella vita quotidiana. Il cambiamento delle abitudini dipende anche dalla disponibilità dell'individuo di volerle cambiare. Il modello transteorico (stadi) fornisce una valida teoria del cambiamento comportamentale che può essere applicata nella pratica clinica. L'urgenza di sviluppare nuove forme e modelli di assistenza deriva dalla scarsità di risorse umane, da servizi di supporto offerti nel momento sbagliato e dalla convinzione degli operatori sanitari che la sola informazione e l'indicazione delle conseguenze negative incoraggino i pazienti a modificare le loro abitudini.

 

Obiettivi

Nelle persone con una nuova diagnosi di diabete di tipo 2, si esamineranno:

- le abitudini alimentari e di attività fisica

- la disponibilità al cambiamento (stadi)

- l'effetto su parametri clinici e antropometrici

- le esperienze personali e i fattori legati al cambiamento percepiti come facilitanti e/o ostacolanti

 

Disegno/Metodo

Lo studio multi-metodo si compone di due parti.

Parte 1 - Studio di coorte prospettico con quattro momenti di misurazione; raccolta dei dati mediante un questionario online, analisi dei dati mediante statistiche descrittive e inferenziali

All’inizio dello studio dopo 4 mesi dopo 8 mesi dopo 12 mesi

Parte 2 - Studio qualitativo, raccolta dei dati attraverso interviste semi-strutturate, analizzate mediante qualitative content analysis.

 

Risultati attesi/rilevanza

Lo studio fornirà nuove conoscenze per capire se la disponibilità di modificare le abitudini alimentari e di attività fisica è correlata alle abitudini effettive e in che misura influisce sullo stato di salute. Tenere in considerazione la diversa disponibilità al cambiamento delle persone target, può aiutare, in futuro, gli operatori sanitari ad integrare servizi di assistenza mirati e allineati tra loro.

Descrizione del progetto

Premessa

Studi internazionali dimostrano che dal 16 al 27% dei residenti nelle residenze per anziani subiscono errori legati alla terapia a farmacologica (ad es. somministrazione di farmaci sbagliati o dosaggi errati), che possono comportare conseguenze negative come reazioni avverse a farmaci, cadute con lesioni, ricoveri in ospedale e/o decessi. A causa della mancanza di personale infermieristico sufficientemente qualificato nelle case di cura, la somministrazione di farmaci per via orale rappresenta una grande sfida. In Alto Adige, nell'ambito di un progetto pilota dell'Associazione delle Residenze per Anziani dell'Alto Adige (VdS), in cinque case di riposo viene sperimentato un sistema centralizzato e automatizzato di confezionamento in blister dei farmaci, che ha il potenziale di aumentare la sicurezza per i residenti e di sgravare il personale infermieristico dalla preparazione dei farmaci.

 

Obiettivo

L’obiettivo di questo studio è valutare il progetto pilota rispondendo alle seguenti domande di ricerca:

- Quali sono le aspettative (positive e negative) del personale (direzione, personale infermieristico e medici di base) delle cinque case di cura in merito all'introduzione di un sistema centralizzato e automatizzato di confezionamento in blister dei farmaci?

- Quali sono i fattori che facilitano e inibiscono l'implementazione di un sistema centralizzato e automatizzato di confezionamento in blister dei farmaci nelle cinque case di cura percepiti dal personale?

- Quali sono gli effetti sulla "pratica clinica" (ad es. assistenza, organizzazione del lavoro e processi) e sulle risorse di tempo che il personale infermieristico descrive come conseguenza all'introduzione di un sistema centralizzato e automatizzato di confezionamento in blister dei farmaci?

 

Disegno/metodo

Nell'ambito di uno studio di valutazione qualitativa verranno condotte interviste individuali semi-strutturate e focus group . Il campione (purposive sample) include un totale di circa 30 persone (5 direttori, 5 responsabili dei servizi infermieristici, 2-3 medici di base e 15-20 infermieri) provenienti dalle cinque residenze per anziani partecipanti. Le interviste saranno registrate (audio), trascritte e analizzate utilizzando il metodo di analisi qualitativa dei contenuti. L'analisi dei dati sarà effettuata con MAXQDA.

 

Benefici attesi/rilevanza

I risultati e le esperienze acquisite nelle cinque residenze- pilota forniranno informazioni rilevanti per l'implementazione di un sistema centralizzato e automatizzato di confezionamento in blister in altre residenze per anziani altoatesine. Lo studio fornirà un contributo scientifico, soprattutto per quanto riguarda le aspettative e gli effetti che sistema automatizzato di confezionamento in blister dei farmaci ha sulla pratica clinica degli infermieri.

Descrizione del progetto

Background

Il delirio è una sindrome neuropsichiatrica complessa che si presenta come una risposta cerebrale a disturbi interni o esterni, talvolta attraverso alterazioni cognitive della coscienza, dell'attenzione o della percezione. Il delirio si manifesta comunemente nei pazienti anziani dopo un intervento chirurgico e può causare prolungata durata della degenza e aumento della mortalità. Nonostante le evidenze prodotte dalla letteratura internazionale, l'identificazione sistematica dei fattori di rischio, prima della degenza, per prevenire il delirio postoperatorio rimane una sfida.

La mappatura dei fattori di rischio e del profilo di rischio individuale, delineata in fase di assistenza primaria presso gli ambulatori dei medici di medicina generale e/o negli ambulatori infermieristici prima dell´ ospedalizzazione e integrata nell'assistenza medica e infermieristica perioperatoria, può ottimizzare in modo significativo la prevenzione e la gestione del delirio nei pazienti anziani sottoposti ad un intervento chirurgico elettivo.

Obiettivo

Gli obiettivi di questo studio sequenziale multi-metodo sono: (1) lo sviluppo di un “Delir-pass geriatrico" (GeDePa), cioè un profilo analogico, cartaceo, dei fattori di rischio, basato sulle evidenze scientifiche e sull’esperienza di tutti i professionisti sanitari (medici di medicina generale, geriatri, anestesisti, infermieri) coinvolti in modo centrale nella pratica clinica e (2) la valutazione da parte di esperti della rilevanza, dell’attuabilità e della praticabilità del GeDePa e la sua implementazione nella pratica clinica.

Disegno/metodo

L’attuabilità, la praticabilità e i possibili contenuti del GeDePa dal punto di vista dei professionisti sanitari saranno indagati attraverso interviste semi-strutturate con esperti (almeno 4 medici di base, 2 geriatri, anestesisti, infermieri per ogni sede di studio); e analizzati qualitativamente in termini di contenuti. I risultati delle interviste con gli esperti insieme alla sintesi della letteratura scientifica (precedentemente effettuata), verranno riassunti/convogliati nella stesura di una cosiddetta "Item-long-List", cioè un insieme di componenti o possibili elementi o voci del GeDePa. Questa " Item-long-List " verrà valutata dagli stessi esperti in base alla rilevanza e alla attuabilità dei componenti, attraverso una procedura di rating con un sondaggio online. Il sondaggio verrà realizzato con LimeSurvey, l’analisi si baserà sul metodo di appropriatezza RAND/UCLA (RAM) e porterà a una "short list" di voci valutate come "attuabili" e "rilevanti". La "short list" basata sul consenso verrà utilizzata per la stesura finale, l'impaginazione e la traduzione (tedesco/italiano) di un GeDePa analogico su carta.

Benefici attesi/rilevanza

Si tratta di un progetto di cooperazione tra Claudiana Research (Alto Adige) e PMU (Università privata di medicina, Salisburgo), finanziato dal Fondo altoatesino per la promozione della ricerca scientifica (SFPR). Ci aspettiamo che un Delir-pass geriatrico sviluppato sistematicamente contribuisca a ottimizzare la prevenzione e la gestione del delirio postoperatorio nei pazienti geriatrici. Questo progetto sarà la base per uno studio di follow-up in cui verrà sviluppato, validato e implementato Delir-pass digitale, che verrà testato nell'assistenza primaria e ospedaliera.

Projektbeschreibung

Hintergrund

Although there is evidence that the ‚motivation to teach’ has a direct impact on student motivation and achievement, research in this area is scarce. In educational psychology literature, two sources of intrinsic motivation for the activity of teaching in higher education are proposed. One is the interest in the subject matter, and the second is the interest in the educational process. Studies in medical education have looked at motives, incentives and barriers for teaching of community-based preceptors. Overall, these studies reveal that physicians and other healthcare professionals regard internal factors, described as ‘enjoyment of teaching’, ‘feeling intrinsic satisfaction’, ‘intellectual satisfaction’, `self-expression’, ‘helping others’, or ‘personal satisfaction’, as much more relevant for engaging in teaching than financial compensations or other external rewards. These internal factors have not been further examined. Consequently, the motivation of healthcare faculty to teach remains an obscure territory.

Zielsetzung

To explore the intrinsic motivation of physicians and other health professionals to teach.

Design/Methode

Semi-structured interviews will be conducted with physicians and other healthcare professionals teaching at Claudiana. Participants will be selected from a presumably highly motivated group of teachers who participated in one of Claudiana’s voluntary pedagogical workshops. Interviews will be transcribed and thematically analyzed.

Erwarteter Nutzen/Relevanz

A better understanding of the factors enhancing teacher motivation may provide information on how to optimize Claudiana’s educational environment and may be helpful in designing new staff development initiatives.

Projektbeschreibung

Hintergrund

Nella vita di un genitore nulla può essere più devastante che apprendere che il proprio bambino è affetto da una malattia grave limitante della vita, come una malattia genetica, tumorale o rari disturbi neuromuscolari. A livello internazionale si stanno sviluppando dei servizi integrati di cure palliative pediatriche per sostenere genitori, giovani pazienti e tutta la famiglia garantendo un massimo livello della qualitá della vita e diversi tipi di supporto durante le varie fasi della malattia.

Zielsetzung

Rilevare l’esperienza dei genitori riguardo al percorso di cura affrontato e la loro soddisfazione dei supporti ricevuti. Rilevare il punto di vista dei professionisti riguardo all’attuale erogazione dei servizi di cure palliative pediatriche. Elaborare delle raccomandazioni e azioni chiave volte a migliorare le cure palliative pediatriche.

Design/Methode

Ricerca qualitativa. Da giugno a dicembre 2012 sono state raccolte le esperienze di diversi gruppi (genitori, giovani pazienti, professionisti sanitari) tramite sondaggi online e interviste personali.

Erwarteter Nutzen/Relevanz

Hanno aderito alla ricerca un totale di 59 persone tra genitori, operatori sanitari e un giovane paziente. L’indagine ha rilevato che le attuali cure palliative pediatriche erogate in Alto Adige spesso vengono percepite come un ulteriore impatto negativo sulle vite delle famiglie colpite e come frustrazione per i professionisti sanitari. Questi risultati hanno messo in luce il bisogno di creare un servizio di cure palliative pediatriche coordinato e condiviso e hanno permesso di delineare delle raccomandazioni evidence-based finalizzate all’implementazione di un centro dedicato.

Design/Methode

Action Research, Participatory Research, Future Search

Erwarteter Nutzen/Relevanz

In seguito alla ricerca, l’Azienda Sanitaria dell’Alto Adige ha istituito un gruppo di lavoro volto a elaborare un documento per l’erogazione di una buona pratica condivisa di cure palliative pediatriche “La Rete Provinciale di Cure Palliative per adulti, neonati, bambini ed adolescenti, 2014” .

Inoltre le raccomandazioni evidence-based elaborate dalla ricerca, sono state presentate e accettate positivamente da familiari, professionisti, associazioni e istituzioni (assessorato, servizi sanitari e sociali) i quali hanno espresso disponibilitá nel sostenere, in vari termini, l’implementazione di un servizio dedicato alle cure palliative pediatriche per l’Alto Adige.

Grazie anche ai risultati della ricerca, la Scuola Superiore di Sanitá Claudiana ha deciso di dedicare un master di specializzazione in “Cure palliative” volto a sensibilizzare e formare il personale sanitario per operare in questo delicato contesto, in fase di partenza.

Projektbeschreibung

Hintergrund

Um die Fakultätsentwicklung voranzutreiben wurden in der Vergangenheit meist umfangreiche Workshops, Kurse und Seminare entwickelt. Für die meisten Professionellen im Gesundheitswesen stellt der Unterricht jedoch nur eine Nebentätigkeit dar und die Vollzeitbeschäftigung im Sanitätswesen macht die Teilnahme an zeitaufwendigen Fortbildungen im didaktischen Bereich schwierig.

Zielsetzung

Projektbeschreibung

Hintergrund

In today’s healthcare system, the various health care professionals are expected to collaborate effectively to increase the quality of care. As students’ attitudes start to be formed from the beginning of their education on, there are benefits to be gained from the introduction of interprofessional education (IPE) in the early years. Anatomy is key to many health care professions and can provide a common content vehicle for IPE. Team-based learning (TBL) is a pedagogical method that gives students the opportunity to learn about working within teams and to develop communication skills.

Zielsetzung

A TBL strategy will be applied to an interprofessional course of general anatomy of human organs for students from the occupational therapy and orthoptics programs at Claudiana with the goal to promote outcomes related to ‘communication and teamwork’ and to enhance students attitudes towards interprofessional education.

Design/Methode

A sequential explanatory mixed methods design will be adopted. A quantitative questionnaire will be distributed before and after the anatomy course exploring possible changes in students’ self-assessment regarding ‘communication and teamwork’ and changes in their attitude towards ‘interprofessional learning’. Qualitative data from group interviews will serve to refine and explain the quantitative results in more depth.

Erwarteter Nutzen/Relevanz

The findings are expected to clarify if and how this course could contribute to the more general learning outcomes, i.e., interprofessional learning objectives. Recognizing the need for competency in interprofessional collaboration, the results will serve to develop further IPE initiatives at Claudiana to order prepare students better for a collaborative working environment.

Projektbeschreibung

Hintergrund

Interprofessional education (IPE) interventions are not always successful in achieving learning outcomes. Team-Based Learning (TBL) would appear to be a suitable pedagogical method for IPE, as it focuses on team performance; however, little is known about interprofessional TBL as an instructional framework for patient safety.

Zielsetzung

A three-day course for Claudiana-students to give instruction on non-technical skills related to 'learning from errors' will be developed at Claudiana (iPEPS course). The evaluation will (1) describe participants’ reactions to TBL, (2) observe their achievement with respect to interprofessional education learning objectives, and (3) document their attitudinal shifts with regard to patient safety behaviours.

Design/Methode

The evaluation will take place within a quasi-experimental pre-test-post-test study design. Participants complete self-assessments through valid and reliable instruments. Data will be analysed using descriptive (i.e. mean, standard deviation), parametric (i.e. paired t-test), and non-parametric (i.e. Wilcoxon signed-rank test) methods.

Erwarteter Nutzen/Relevanz

The findings are expected to indicate whether interprofessional TBL constitutes a promising pedagogical method to achieve patient safety learning objectives. The gained empirical knowledge can be used to develop other interprofessional TBL initiatives at Claudiana.

Projektbeschreibung

Hintergrund

Sufficient staffing of nurses, along with favorable hospital work environments (e.g., collaboration between physicians and nurses) are crucial for patient (e.g., lower hospital mortality, lower healthcare-associated infection rates) and nurse outcomes (e.g. higher job satisfaction, lower intention to leave the nursing profession). Faced with escalating patient care needs and dwindling resources in staffing, skill mix, and time, nurses are forced to ration their attention across their patients, minimizing or omitting nursing care. Previous studies did not comprehensively investigate the dynamic interplay of key organizational factors, implicit rationing of nursing care and patient and nurse outcomes. Moreover, little is known about the ethical dimension of implicit rationing and potential consequences (e.g. moral dilemma and role conflict) for nurses. It is crucial to deepen our understanding of how nurses make clinical decision and the criteria they use to set priorities in order to ration necessary nursing care activities given their limited resources. The purpose of the proposed PatientSafety and Quality of Nursing Care in South Tyrolean Hospitals (PUSH) project is to gain a comprehensive understanding on levels, patterns, predictors, consequences and the ethical dimension of rationed nursing care.

Zielsetzung

To describe hospital and unit characteristics (e.g. staffing, skill mix levels, turnover), work environment (e.g. teamwork, leadership), safety climate, workload and rationing of care, selected nurse-reported patient outcomes (e.g. falls, pressure ulcers, healthcare-associated infections, patients’ experiences with hospital and nursing care) and nurse outcomes (e.g. job satisfaction, emotional exhaustion, turnover intention);

  • To explore the interrelationships between hospital and unit characteristics, work environment, safety climate, workload and rationing of nursing care and the mediating effect of implicit rationing of nursing care between these factors and patient and nurse outcomes;

  • To describe the extent and the types of care nurses in South Tyrolean hospital implicitly ration and to explain the criteria andmental models they use to make clinical decisions and to set priorities determining the extent and types of care rationing;

  • To explore the ethical dimension (e.g. negative emotions, moral dilemma and role conflict) related to rationing of nursing care from the perspective of nurses;

  • To explore the extent to which hospital administrators, physicians and patients are aware of rationing of nursing care and to the gain understanding to which nursing care activities they give high priority and for which they would accept rationing.

Design/Methode

PUSH is a 3-year research project (2015—2017) and will use a mixed-method sequential explanatory research design, consisting of one quantitative and one qualitative study. First, a multicenter cross-sectional study building on internationally approved research methodologies will be conducted in the seven South Tyrolean public hospitals. We will include and survey approximately 1’500 clinicians (physicians, registered, licensed and other nurses) and 1’000 patients from all inhospital wards to collect data on patient- and nurse-related outcomes, as well as key organizational factors. Patient saftey and inpatient quality indicators (e.g. hospital mortality and readmission within 30 days) will be assessed using routinely collected patient discharge data. Information on hospital und unit characteristics (e.g. hospital size, staffing and grade-/skill-mix levels, nurse turnover) will be collected from hospital administrators. The different data sources will be linked at the unit and hospital level and analyzed with appropriate descriptive and inferential analysis methods (e.g. multilevel regression analyses, structural equation modeling). Second, we will perform a qualitative study using interpretive description research methodology and conduct focus groups and/or individual interviews with samples of chief nursing officers, unit managers and frontline nurses, physicians, and patients (approximately with 100 persons) from the seven hospitals to gain knowledge on the ethical dimension and potential consequences associated with rationing of nursing care. Ethical issues such as protection of data and confidentiality will be guaranteed.

Erwarteter Nutzen/Relevanz

The study results will contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the underlying mechanisms that produce safe and high-quality nursing care. In light of financial constraints in South Tyorlean healthcare system and the planned healthcare reform in acute-care hospitals this research project is timely and will provide vital information on the safety and quality of nursing care to healthcare policy makers, hospitals’ nursing and quality management, nurse educators and patients. It will help to identify priority areas for improving the safety and quality of nursing care in further research and quality improvement projects.

Projektbeschreibung

Hintergrund

The didactic lecture continues to be a commonly used instructional method despite the criticism of allowing students to assume a passive role. With new technology, the traditional approach to the lecture can be redefined by combining it with online learning. Online learning has been found to be effective, especially when linked to face-to-face instruction in a blended learning format. The literature suggests that low-cost and low-tech, but instructionally-sound online learning represents a feasible strategy to follow. The question to be addressed is, therefore, how can online components be integrated effectively into existing approaches to teaching and learning within established curricula.

Zielsetzung

To investigate how Claudiana-students perceived their learning experience when combining anatomy lectures with preparatory e-learning activities.

Design/Methode

A novel anatomy course will be developed at Claudiana by allocating 25% of the original lecture time to preparatory online learning, including fill-in-the-blank assignments, videos, and mc-quizzes. To explore changes in study behaviour and perception of learning, three group interviews with students will be conducted and thematically analyzed.

Erwarteter Nutzen/Relevanz

This project addresses an important issue in medical education, namely, the enhancement of the widely criticized lecture style of teaching by combining it with online learning. Students’ reported changes in their studying behaviour and the perception of their learning outcome will serve to further develop the quality of teaching and learning at Claudiana.

Projektbeschreibung

Hintergrund

TRANS-SENIOR builds capacity for tackling a major challenge facing European long-term care systems: the need to improve care for an increasing number of care-dependent senior citizens. Its specific focus is on avoiding care transitions (hospitalisations, nursing home admissions etc.) that are not necessary and on optimising care transitions that are really needed. This is important as research and practice show that unnecessary or poorly managed care transitions in senior citizens lead to negative health and well-being consequences and high costs for society.

Zielsetzung

RESEARCH objectives of TRANS-SENIOR are to generate evidence on: 1) when and where avoiding care transitions is possible; 2) the benefits of innovative transitional care models; 3) methods for involving senior citizens and informal caregivers; and 4) sustainable implementation of new care models.

Design/Methode

TRANS-SENIOR PRODUCTS are:

  • tools to support senior citizens and informal care givers in decision making and preparing for transitions

  • guidance for professionals’ triage, citizen empowerment and decision making; protocols for the effective delivery of transitional care models

  • a toolbox for the implementation of these care models

  • an assessment tool for evaluating the financing of long-term care

  • policy briefs to inform future long-term care policy and processesa training syllabus to inform future doctoral training in Europe

Erwarteter Nutzen/Relevanz

TRANS-SENIOR will train Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) to become HEALTH CARE INNOVATORS. Our multi-disciplinary, multi-sectoral team will give the ESRs the knowledge, research expertise and transferable skills needed to lead improvements in real-world care settings. TRANS-SENIOR’s health care innovators will be able to operate on the cutting edges of practice, science, policy and innovation.
