ABSTRACTObjectives:To explore the extent to which staff members in long-term care facilities (LTCF) have experienced situations of sexual harassment, how they commonly and ideally manage the situation, and how their work position influences their responses.Design:Cross-sectional quantitative study, using the vignette technique.Method:A total of 2,196 staff-members who were currently working in Spanish LTCF participated in the study. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire. Questions regarding sexual harassment were analysed by a vignette that described a case of sexual harassment. Participants had to choose common and best practices for dealing with the case, and report the frequency with which they had experienced similar situations.Results:The results indicate that 29.9% of participants had experienced an episode of sexual harassment in a LTCF similar to the one presented in the vignette. Responses to the situation were diverse and there were significant differences between common and perceived best practices. Differences were also found depending on the work position of the participant (manager, technical staff or nursing assistant).Conclusions:There is a need for a fuller recognition of the sexual needs of older people. However, the presence of inappropriate sexual behavior must also be acknowledged. The right of staff to work in an environment free of harassment must be respected. The need for explicit institutional guidelines and training opportunities is discussed.

Swallowing Evaluation

With the advent of advanced life-saving practices, speech-language pathologists will continue to see a surge in the number of patients dependent on ventilators in both the acute and chronic phases of the health care continuum. Today, there are more individuals requiring ventilators, whether in the intensive care unit (ICU), in long-term care facilities, or in the community. In the past, it has been common to delay rehabilitation efforts in the ICU patient who requires a ventilator, based on the rationale that patients are too sick. This excuse no longer fits with contemporary knowledge regarding best practices in the ICU. Additionally, this argument is moot with regard to patients with diagnoses that will mandate long-term ventilator use. Our profession must understand and be able to address the unique concerns and needs regarding swallowing in those with either transient or chronic ventilator dependency.

This qualitative and exploratory research project focuses on the way in which culturally appropriate care is being provided to older immigrants in ethno-specific longterm care settings in the Greater Toronto Area. Key Informant interviews with administrators of ethno-specific long-term care facilities were utilized in order to gather data on best practices and lessons learned for addressing the cultural needs of older immigrants living in long-term care. The research findings reinforce the need for ethnospecific long-term care programs, as well as culturally sensitive care in all programs, which alleviate the environmental stressors of institutional care and aging. Research recommendations point to a need for greater knowledge sharing within the long-term care sector, as well as increased education to service providers as to the historical context of the immigration and life experiences of ethno-specific groups in care. As well, there is a need for a shift in design of long-term care that addresses systemic issues of inequality that restrict how cultural care is delivered.Multiculturalism.
