In present article studied recognition of the situation of actualization of the mental state by child-patients parent's. The research was carried out in two stages. Sample: 70 mothers having children under the age of 7 years. Average age of mothers – 27 years. At the first stage by means of the technique "A relief of a mental state" (Prokhorov, 1998) were received estimates of mental states in the following situations: hospitalization of the child, "bad" medical care, troubles at work, "good" medical care, a usual (background) mental state. Based on the results of the first stage were two sets of descriptions were constructed. At the second stage, these sets were presented for recognition to the same sample. The first set of descriptions was constructed by the tequnique of the machine learning, the second set was constructed by the scheme of E.Yu. Artemyeva (1999). The results show the possibility of recognizing the situations of actualization of the mental state by the parents of child patients, which is limited by the emotional valence of the situation. Differentiation of situations of one valence is obstructed. The condition, actualized in one situation, can be extrapolated to other situations of similar emotional valence. The way to construct a description of the experienced mental state has a matter for recognition of the situation of actualization of a mental state.

Abstract Similar to nursing homes, COVID-19 has challenged assisted living (AL), given its congregate nature and vulnerable residents. However, COVID-19 recommendations have not consistently recognized differences between nursing homes and AL, and in so doing present implications for the future of AL. This project examined COVID-19 recommendations from six key organizations and compared them across nursing homes and AL. Differences include recommending more flexible visitation and group activities for AL, while similarities suggest that AL may best integrate health care into offered services (e.g., work with consulting clinicians who know residents and the AL community). Primary points to be discussed are that COVID-19 may accelerate the closer coordination of social work and medical care into AL, because recommendations suggest AL would benefit from the services and expertise of nurses, social workers, and physicians. There seems to be an unmet need to mitigate loneliness in AL, which warrants specific attention moving forward.

IntroductionNursing home residents typically have greater needs for medical care than community-dwelling elderly. However, restricted cognitive abilities and limited mobility may impede their access to general practitioners and medical specialists. The provision of medical care in nursing homes may therefore be inappropriate in some areas of medical care. The purpose of this mixed-methods study is to systematically assess, evaluate and explain met and unmet medical care needs in German nursing homes and to develop solutions where medical care is found to be inappropriate.Methods and analysisFirst, statutory health insurance claims data are analysed to identify differences in the utilisation of medical care between nursing home residents and community-dwelling elderly with and without need for long-term care. Second, the health status and medical care of 500 nursing home residents are assessed and evaluated to quantify met and unmet medical care needs. Third, qualitative expert interviews and case conferences and, fourth, quantitative analyses of linked data are used to provide structural, case-specific and generalisable explanations of inappropriate medical care among nursing home residents. Fifth, a modified Delphi study is employed to develop pilot projects aiming to improve medical care in nursing homes.Ethics and disseminationThis study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the University of Bremen on 23 November 2017. Research findings are disseminated through presentations at national and international conferences and publications in peer-reviewed scientific journals.Trial registration numberDRKS00012383.

Nursing homes for seniors are an integral part of the Canadian and Swedish welfare states; however, daily work takes place within different organisational contexts. In contrast to Sweden, Canadian nursing homes are larger, have lower staffing levels and are oriented towards a medical care model. In both countries, shaped by staffing shortages, there are more racialised workers employed in the care sector. Earlier research has noted how racialised staff might be exposed to racism from residents. In this study, we explore care workers’ experiences of racism and their perceptions of how racism is managed in the different organisational contexts.

Medical rehabilitation plays an important leading role in the treatment of children with cerebral palsy (CP). Collaboration between specialists in medical rehabilitation and the rehabilitation team is a prerequisite for good medical care. The quality of medical services for children with CP depends chiefly on the level of expertise of the treatment team. Through training of specialists and sharing of knowledge, we can help more patients. This idea was developed and implemented by Dr Ewa Kooyman-Piskorz, the founder and president of Wandafonds Foundation. Between 2003 and 2014, Dutch specialists working with children with CP conducted a number of training workshops in Poland under the supervision of the Polish Rehabilitation Society and Prof. Jules Becher, a world-famous expert in the rehabilitation of children. Based on these experiences, we present the recommendations of the Paediatric Rehabilitation Section of the Polish Rehabilitation Society regarding an interdisciplinary model of treatment of children with CP in Poland.
