This study examined why hospital-based occupational therapists carry out post-discharge home visits with elderly people, due to the varying frequency within local practice, and used qualitative methods to answer the research question. The results showed that activities concerned with the provision of equipment were the most frequent and that little time was spent in monitoring or treating the patient after discharge. Time was mentioned as a major factor in not carrying out visits, but in fact most visits took less than half an hour. The study emphasised a significant gap in the service, covering patients' post-discharge needs and treatment sessions in the community, and showed the importance of improving communication between multidisciplinary teams and effective planning before discharge. There is a need in Salford for an occupational therapist to work with elderly people to fill this gap and liaise with the hospital multidisciplinary team about plans for discharge.

Chi Square Analysis

Background: Hispanic Americans (HA) and African Americans (AA) are known to have greater incidence of stroke and may have more severe deficits than non-Hispanic whites (NHW). AA and HA are known to have higher incidences of hypertension compared to NHW. Little has been published on the use of echocardiography to determine racial and ethnic distribution of risk factors Recently published information indicates that while minorities have equal access to rehabilitative services, minorities with stroke have longer hospital stays and poorer functional outcomes compared to NHW, leading to potential increased healthcare needs post-discharge. Hypothesis: We hypothesize that HA and AA are more likely than NHW to have evidence of hypertensive pathology on echocardiographic evaluation. We further hypothesize that HA, due to social and cultural differences, are more likely to discharge home and less likely than AA and NHW to utilize skilled nursing facilities (SNF) or long term acute care facilities (LTAC). Methods: We conducted a retrospective chart review of patients at a single institution with a diagnosis of TIA, ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke admitted from January 2004 to January 2007 (N=1480). Demographic information, co-morbid conditions, diagnostic test results, and information regarding discharge were collected. We used descriptive statistics to characterize the groups, and association between ethnicity and echocardiogram evaluation and discharge disposition was tested by Chi-square analysis. Results: TTE and TEE were used equally across ethnic groups. AA had more evidence of hypertensive pathology on echocardiographic imaging compared to NHW and HA (95% vs. 43% and 40%, respectively, p<.001). Unexpectedly, HA were more likely to have potential embolic sources found on echocardiographic studies compared to NHW or AA (68% vs. 38% and 44% respectively, p<.001). HA were less likely to discharge to SNF or LTAC compared to NHW or AA (2% vs. 7% for both NHW and AA, p<.001). There was no difference in the likelihood of discharge to SNF or LTAC between AA and NHW. Conclusions: HA have more embolic sources as a potential cause for stroke compared to either NHW or AA. This may have impact on the diagnostic utilization of TTE and TEE. Hypertensive echochardiographic changes are common in AA, emphasizing the need for primary prevention. HA are more likely to discharge home, rather than to a SNF or LTAC facility. This finding may indicate a need for additional home care services and education regarding home care of stroke patients for this population.
