ABSTRACT Objective: to identify difficulties and motivations for the practice of physical exercise in women older than 65 years. Method: qualitative study based on the phenomenological theory, with focus groups and in-depth interviews. The nursing staff selected 15 women by intentional sampling using the following criteria: age, time dedicated to physical exercise, independence, and absence of cognitive impairment and contraindication for this activity. Two focus groups were formed (one of them did physical exercise for less than 150 minutes per week and the other at least 150 minutes per week) in addition to conducting five in-depth interviews. Qualitative analysis of the data was performed through transcription, coding, categorization, and verification of results. Results: the difficulties to start and develop physical exercise were circumscribed to the perception of poor health and lack of free time; both circumstances result from care obligation, being represented as a gender imposition. However, the motivations are related to perception of strength, need for socialization, and perception of autonomy and freedom. Conclusions: the ideological representation of gender determines the women’s decision to exercise. Knowing the meaning and significance that women give to health and their role in the socio-family environment allows nurses to develop relationships and interventions to encourage the practice of physical exercise.

The aim of this qualitative study was to investigate proficient first-line nurse leaders’ caring for the nursing staff. The study was undertaken in Benner and Wrubel’s caring framework. Ten leaders were interviewed and data were analyzed following a hermeneutic approach. Caring for the nursing staff was imperative for the leaders; it was a moral agency linked to an ambition to perform high-quality care. The ambition could be assistance in bedside care, dialoguing with the staff, or planning for staff development. Further studies are needed and proficient nurse leaders need opportunities to discuss their ways of caring for the staff.

Point Of View

Abstract Background: Emergency department (ED) visits and hospital admissions are common among nursing home residents (NHRs). These transfers are often considered avoidable and can have negative effects on residents’ health status. Emergency medical services (EMS) are an important linking profession between nursing homes (NHs) and hospitals and responsible for transports. So far, little is known about the perspectives of paramedics in this context. The aim of this qualitative study is to explore how paramedics experience hospital transfer process of NHRs and how hospitalizations could be avoided from their point of view. Methods: A qualitative study with three focus groups was conducted with paramedics. The focus groups followed a semi-structured question guide focusing on issues during transfer process, avoidable hospital transfers and potential interventions which might reduce transfers from NHs. Discussions were audio recorded and transcribed verbatim. Data were analyzed by content analysis using the software MAXQDA. Results: In total, 18 paramedics (mean age: 33 years, male n=14) participated in the focus groups. Paramedics mainly reported about perceived structural reasons (e.g. understaffing or lack of time) in NHs which led to initiation of an emergency call. Paramedics were often faced with poorly organized handovers because of lacking or incomplete information. In many cases, nursing staff was perceived as insufficiently qualified and not well-prepared regarding health status of NHRs. Throughout transfer process, the behavior of all involved professional groups (dispatcher/ambulance control center, nurses, physicians and paramedics) was influenced by legal uncertainties. Paramedics rated hospital transfers as avoidable in case of urinary catheter complications, exsiccosis/infections and partially in case of falls. Emergency standards in NHs, trainings for nursing staff, improvement of working conditions and legal conditions were discussed as potential interventions which could reduce hospital transfers of NHRs. Conclusion: Paramedics are faced with complex issues when transporting a NHR to hospital. According to their point of view staff shortage and legal uncertainties play a relevant role in transfer decisions. Interventions reducing (avoidable) hospital transfers of NHRs have to take these factors into account.
