Item A qualitative exploration of living with dementia in supported living environments using a peer researcher approach(Elsevier, 2022-02-02) Daly-Lynn, Jean; Ryan, Assumpta; McCormack, Brendan; Martin, SuzanneBackground The aim of the paper is to examine the experiences and perspectives of people living with dementia who live in supported living environments. Methods Peer researchers conducted semi-structured interviews with twenty-two people living with dementia in nine different supported living environments. Results Three themes developed from the thematic analysis: “You can come and go when you like” (Independence and Autonomy); “Everybody the staff and all, all works together” (Collaborative Relationships); and “When I came first, I saw this –I said is this all mine?” (Correct Fit of the Environment). Participants reported living environments that fostered their independence, choice, and control. Collaborative relationships with staff members and family caregivers were important to live the life of their choice. Finally, the correct environment created a sense of ownership and belonging within this space. Conclusions These findings illustrate that supported living can be an environment that empowers individuals on their dementia journey.Item Exploring mediating effects between nursing leadership and patient safety from a person-centred perspective: A literature review(Wiley, 2020-12-27) Wang, Meini; Dewing, JanAims: To evaluate the mechanism through which nursing leadership impacts patient safety.Item Empowering aged care nurses to deliver person-centred care: Enabling nurses to shine(Elsevier, 2018-05-23) Marriott-Statham, Kelly; Mackay, Maria; Brennan, Ngaire; Mackay, JacintaIn this paper, the authors will describe the journey of registered nurses across a series of workshops as part of a research project that was undertaken in a regional aged care service in New South Wales, Australia. The aim of the project was to empower the participant registered nurses to positively influence the health care workplace culture within the residential care home by raising consciousness about their own practice. Registered nurses were actively involved in this reconnaissance phase of a participatory action research project through practice development principles and methods. Registered nurses determined the content and the outcomes of the overall program. The researchers evaluated the impact of a series of workshops, designed to develop skills and knowledge using nominal group technique. Results revealed registered nurses perceived they were empowered to flourish, and developed an understanding of the uniqueness of their role. A shared understanding of the role of the registered nurse in the aged care setting was fundamental in enabling them to feel empowered to lead their team and contribute positively to the workplace culture. Overall, the outcomes of this project have positively impacted workplace culture.
