A family nurse-led intervention for reducing health services’utilization in individuals with chronic diseases:The ADVICE pilot study

Objectives:Intensive health services'utilization is common in older individuals affected by chronic diseases.This study assessed whether a structured family nurse-led educational intervention would be effective in reducing health services'use(readmissions and/or emergency service access)among older people affected by chronic conditions.Methods:This is a non-randomized before-after pilot study.A sample of 78 patients was recruited from two general practices in Italy and 70 among them were followed for 8 months.Standard home care was provided during the first four months'period(months 1-4),followed by the educational intervention until the end of the study(months 5-8).The intervention,based on the teach-back method,consisted of by-weekly 60-min home sessions targeting aspects of the disease and its treatment,potential complications,medication adherence,and health behaviours.Rates of health services'use were collected immediately before(T0),and after the interventions(T1).Differences in utilization rates were examined by the McNemar's test.Potential factors associated with the risk of health services'use were explored with a Cox proportional hazard regression model.Results:The sample(n=78)was predominantly female(n=50,64.1%),and had a mean age of 76.2(SD=4.8)years.Diabetes mellitus was the most frequent disease(n=27,34.6%).McNemar's test indicated a significant reduction in health services'use at T1(McNemar χ^(2)==28.03,P<0.001).Cox regressions indicated that time and patient education,as well as their interaction,were the only variables positively associated with the probability of health services'use.Conclusion:A teach-back intervention led by a family nurse practitioner has the potential to reduce health services'use in older patients with chronic diseases.

A Multi-Objective Scheduling and Routing Problem for Home Health Care Services via Brain Storm Optimization

At present,home health care(HHC)has been accepted as an effective method for handling the healthcare problems of the elderly.The HHC scheduling and routing problem(HHCSRP)attracts wide concentration from academia and industrial communities.This work proposes an HHCSRP considering several care centers,where a group of customers(i.e.,patients and the elderly)require being assigned to care centers.Then,various kinds of services are provided by caregivers for customers in different regions.By considering the skill matching,customers’appointment time,and caregivers’workload balancing,this article formulates an optimization model with multiple objectives to achieve minimal service cost and minimal delay cost.To handle it,we then introduce a brain storm optimization method with particular multi-objective search mechanisms(MOBSO)via combining with the features of the investigated HHCSRP.Moreover,we perform experiments to test the effectiveness of the designed method.Via comparing the MOBSO with two excellent optimizers,the results confirm that the developed method has significant superiority in addressing the considered HHCSRP.

中国老年人口健康状况及其家庭照料需求预测

中国人口老龄化快速发展,失能、半失能老年人口规模迅速扩大,老年照料需求快速增加。科学预测不同失能状况老年人口规模及其照料服务需求是推动老年照护服务体系建设的重要基础。文章基于中国老年健康影响因素跟踪调查(CLHLS)数据,使用Markov模型测算中国分性别、分年龄段老年人口健康状况转移矩阵,运用队列要素预测法、多元回归法等预测得到2020—2035年中国不同失能状况老年人口规模及其照料服务人员需求规模、家庭照料经济成本。预测结果显示:中国失能老年人口规模呈现增长态势,从2020年的1946万人增至2035年的3424万人,失能老年人口的比例从2020年的7.4%小幅增至2035年的7.9%,且中重度失能老年人口增幅更快,2035年时轻度失能老年人口规模相比2020年增加66%,中重度失能老年人口规模相比2020年增加92%。女性失能老年人口规模增速快于男性,80岁及以上老年人口失能比例增长更快,2035年男性70~79岁、80~89岁、90+岁三个年龄组失能老年人口规模分别为2020年的1.53倍、1.92倍、1.94倍;2035年女性三个年龄组失能老年人口规模分别为2020年的1.72倍、2.29倍、2.52倍。老年家庭照料需求将呈现快速增长态势,家庭照料服务人员需求量从2020年的2795万人增至2035年的4863万人,增长74%。2020—2035年健康老年人口的照料服务人员需求量占总需求量的比例在57%左右,中重度失能老年人口需求量占比在24%左右,轻度失能老年人口需求量占比在19%左右。60~69岁老年人口所需的照料服务人员占比最高,90岁及以上年龄组对照料服务人员的需求量增长更快。老年人口家庭照料经济成本从2020年的3027亿元增至2035年的11676亿元,将增长近3倍。中重度失能老年人口所需的家庭照料现金成本相比2020年增长3.1倍,轻度失能老年人口所需的家庭照料现金成本相比2020年增长2.6倍。男性老年人口所需家庭照料现金成本低于女性老年人口,且增速也低于女性老年人口。本研究基于定量预测结果提出积极推进健康老龄化,加大促进生育的政策支持力度,尽快推广长期照护保险制度,以赋能家庭为着力点加强失能老年人口的支持体系建设,大力发展老年护理服务业,大力发展养老护理职业教育等政策建议。

中国社区嵌入式养老:现状与问题浅析

为实现全体老年人享有基本养老服务的目标,社区嵌入式是未来中国养老服务发展的重点方向。社区嵌入式养老是指通过下沉与整合各类服务资源,在社区内打造集居家、社区、机构服务为一体的养老综合体,以实现在家中或家门口就近就便享受优质养老服务的一种新型养老模式。基于嵌入性的理论视角,研究从需求嵌入、资源嵌入、主体嵌入与理念嵌入四个维度构建了中国社区嵌入式养老的制度框架,并对当前社区嵌入式养老的服务项目、服务设施及运营模式进行了系统归纳。研究发现中国社区嵌入式养老发展面临着多维度的嵌入问题,这集中表现为:供需关系存在错位,缺乏有效链接机制;专业服务人才有限,服务品质良莠不齐;权责利益交织纵横,多方主体协同困难;地区基础存在差异,经验范式推广受阻等。基于此,建议政府、社区、企业及社会组织等应进一步明晰主体职责定位,结合地区特点,依托有利资源,合力推动社区嵌入式养老实现高质量发展。

居家社区医养结合服务利用及满意度现状研究

目的 了解居家社区医养结合服务的利用情况和满意度现状,提出促进医养结合发展的对策和建议。方法 通过目的抽样法于2023年5-7月在我国东、中、西部分别选取无锡市、长沙市、成都市对2 125名60岁及以上正在接受或曾接受过服务的老年人进行问卷调查。采用描述性分析、卡方检验、单因素方差分析、多元线性回归等统计学方法对有效问卷数据进行分析。结果 不同地区的就医习惯、服务方式、常用药的获取情况差异具有统计学意义(P<0.05)。服务总体满意度均值为(4.32±0.625)分,处于“满意”与“非常满意”之间。线性回归结果显示,失能程度、慢性病患病情况、地区差异、就医习惯、服务方式、常用药获取情况、地理可及性情况是服务满意度的影响因素(P<0.05)。结论 老年人所接受的居家社区医养结合服务对于基层医疗卫生机构利用情况较好,服务总体满意度较高,但存在地区之间发展不平衡的问题。应进一步以基层医疗卫生机构为重点发展居家社区医养结合服务,完善医保支付机制,加快建立健全长护险制度,不断提高居家社区老年人的满意度和居家社区医养结合服务质量。

人工智能赋能的居家社区养老服务发展及其生态系统优化策略研究
