One To One

A program for providing information to children who are deaf about their deafness and addressing common concerns about deafness is detailed. Developed by a school audiologist and the school counselor, this two-part program is geared for children from 3 years to 15 years of age. The first part is an educational audiology program consisting of varied informational classes conducted by the audiologist. Five topics are addressed in this part of the program, including basic audiology, hearing aids, FM systems, audiograms, and student concerns. The second part of the program consists of individualized counseling. This involves both one-to-one counseling sessions between a student and the school counselor, as well as conjoint sessions conducted—with the student’s permission—by both the audiologist and the school counselor.

Purpose The current study aimed to identify factors that distinguish between older (50+ years) hearing aid (HA) candidates who do and do not purchase HAs after having gone through an HA evaluation period (HAEP). Method Secondary data analysis of the SUpport PRogram trial was performed ( n = 267 older, 1st-time HA candidates). All SUpport PRogram participants started an HAEP shortly after study enrollment. Decision to purchase an HA by the end of the HAEP was the outcome of interest of the current study. Participants' baseline covariates (22 in total) were included as candidate predictors. Multivariable logistic regression modeling (backward selection and reclassification tables) was used. Results Of all candidate predictors, only pure-tone average (average of 1, 2, and 4 kHz) hearing loss emerged as a significant predictor (odds ratio = 1.03, 95% confidence interval [1.03, 1.17]). Model performance was weak (Nagelkerke R 2 = .04, area under the curve = 0.61). Conclusions These data suggest that, once HA candidates have decided to enter an HAEP, factors measured early in the help-seeking journey do not predict well who will and will not purchase an HA. Instead, factors that act during the HAEP may hold this predictive value. This should be examined.

Purpose The SUpport PRogram (SUPR) study was carried out in the context of a private academic partnership and is the first study to evaluate the long-term effects of a communication program (SUPR) for older hearing aid users and their communication partners on a large scale in a hearing aid dispensing setting. The purpose of this research note is to reflect on the lessons that we learned during the different development, implementation, and evaluation phases of the SUPR project. Procedure This research note describes the procedures that were followed during the different phases of the SUPR project and provides a critical discussion to describe the strengths and weaknesses of the approach taken. Conclusion This research note might provide researchers and intervention developers with useful insights as to how aural rehabilitation interventions, such as the SUPR, can be developed by incorporating the needs of the different stakeholders, evaluated by using a robust research design (including a large sample size and a longer term follow-up assessment), and implemented widely by collaborating with a private partner (hearing aid dispensing practice chain).

Die Entwicklung und Etablierung einer erweiterten und vertieften Pflegepraxis («Advanced Nursing Practice») ist ein wichtiger Schritt in Richtung einer zukunftsorientierten Pflege. An der HIV-Sprechstunde der Medizinischen Universitätspoliklinik des Kantonsspitals Basel, wo akut- und chronischkranke PatientInnen mit HIV/Aids medizinisch und pflegerisch behandelt werden, wurde deshalb ein Aktionsforschungsprojekt in Gang gesetzt mit dem Ziel, PatientInnen kompetentere Dienstleistungen anzubieten. Partizipative Aktionsforschung ist ein Prozess, mit dem gleichzeitig Wissen über ein System generiert und dieses System verändert wird. Im Mittelpunkt des Prozesses steht die kontinuierliche Analyse, Verbesserung und Evaluation der Pflege zugunsten von Patienten und Angehörigen. Eine erweiterte und vertiefte HIV/Aids-Pflegepraxis erfordert solides Grundlagenwissen über die Krankheit und über die aktuelle Behandlung. Patientenpräferenzen, Caring, Erfahrungswissen und Evidenz sind wesentliche konzeptuelle Grundpfeiler. Neben der Aneignung von neuen Kenntnissen spezialisierten sich die Pflegenden in einem von ihnen gewählten Gebiet der HIV/Aids-Pflege, z.B. im Umgang mit Medikamenten und der Bedeutung der Therapietreue, Gesundheitsförderung und Prävention oder im Umgang mit Symptomen, um Beratungen und Schulungen für PatientInnen und Angehörige anzubieten. Mit einer erweiterten und vertieften Pflegepraxis werden Pflegende befähigt, den sich abzeichnenden Veränderungen im Gesundheitswesen zukünftig proaktiv begegnen zu können.

Im angloamerikanischen und nordeuropäischen Raum wurden verschiedene ANP-Einzelrollen entwickelt, unter anderem die der Clinical Nurse Specialist und der Nurse Practitioner. Diese universitär ausgebildeten Pflegespezialisten sind in der Schweiz weiterhin sehr rar. Um vor diesem Hintergrund die Praxis dennoch nachhaltig weiterentwickeln zu können, wurden in den letzten acht Jahren im Kinderspital Zürich kontinuierlich Advanced-Nursing-Practice-Teams (ANP-Teams) aufgebaut. Dieser Ansatz bewährte sich durch gezielte und angemessene Leistungserbringung in hochkomplexen Situationen. In diesem Artikel wird die Zusammensetzung der ANP-Teams diskutiert, wobei der Personalmix einen Schlüsselfaktor darstellt. Unterstützende Elemente stellen dabei sowohl die Aufgabendefinition als auch Aufgabenteilung in Klinik- und Konzeptteams dar. Die ANP-Teams arbeiten motiviert und zielgerichtet, sie integrieren Pflegende verschiedenster Erfahrungs- und Ausbildungsniveaus, wodurch gegenseitiges Lernen gefördert wird.
