Promoting Exchange, Enhancing Resources: How Connecting Organizations Improve...BCCPA
Improving workplace safety in continuing care often means undertaking significant culture change. Organizations often find themselves re-creating the same programs as neighbouring organizations, with similar outcomes. The PEER Resource Network was initiated by SafeCare BC to address two key issues raised by the continuing care sector:
1. Managers lack the resources to support the development of a safety culture within their organizations;
2. Continuing care organizations largely face the same root workplace safety issues.
In this workshop, participants will:
1. Learn about PEER’s innovative model and the preliminary results of the initiative (both quantitative and qualitative data).
2. Understand how PEER’s structure contributes to collaborative learning – and how this supports organizational excellence in workplace safety.
3. Engage with fellow participants in PEER-like exercises to glean insight into solutions for their organization’s own safety challenges.
4.Develop new connections to support the implementation of those solutions.

Alzheimer Disease
Introduction
Alzheimer's disease tends to be a progressive, irreversible ailment that impacts the normal functioning of the brain slowly destroying the thinking and memory-related skills and as it progresses it limits the patient the ability to conduct simple tasks ("What Is Alzheimer's Disease?," 2020). Researchers suggest that approximately 6 million American citizens older than 65 years of age have dementia which is caused by Alzheimer's disease. In most patients, the symptoms of this condition begin to be identified when they are in their mid- the 60s. This condition is often ranked as one of the top ten causes of death in the United States, but following a recent investigation, the condition has climbed the ladder and it is currently ranked as the top five leading cause of death in the United States. Often the disease is categorized with cancer and heart disease as the main cause of death among the older population. This paper will focus on planning research that is focused on understanding Alzheimer's disease, its causes symptoms and its impact on the older population.
Problem identification
Alzheimer's disease tends to be the most common cause of dementia among the older population around the world. The condition impacts the normal functioning of the brain hence causing the loss of cognitive functioning such as reasoning, remembering and thinking. Also, it impacts behavioral abilities to the extent of the victim not being able to conduct various daily essential activities ("What Is Alzheimer's Disease?," 2020). The severity of the brain damage from the mildest stage where the normal function of a person is impact and it progresses to a most severe stage and the victim must be dependent on the people around him or her for basic activities related to daily living. The condition is most popular among the older population and its estimated that the condition has impacted about 6 million senior American citizens' normal function and also it is a leading cause of death among this population ("Alzheimer's Disease Fact Sheet," 2020).
Significance of the Problem to Nursing
With a significant population estimated to be victims of Alzheimer's disease in the United States, it is most likely that individuals in the nursing practice will encounter patients suffering from this condition either in their personal lives on in their careers. Thus, it is essential for the nurses to be able to understand and recognize the Alzheimer's Disease symptoms, treatment approaches, and options as well as learn how to effectively interact with this vulnerable population ("Update on Alzheimer’s: What Nurses Should Know," 2020).
To be able to provide quality health care services the nurse practitioner needs to understand the various vital components that support better working conditions .

Memory Problem and Dementia
Introduction
Growing up as a kid at about 6years of age, I looked at people with memory issues and dementia as a problem which is diabolical or may be caused by a person’s wicked act or was inflected on a person due to envy. I started having different ideas about memory problems and dementia in my adolescent age, to me, it was a degeneration in the brain. So, what is dementia? “It is a progressive chronic disorder of mental processes caused by damage to the brain, change in personality, brain disease, and memory disorders” (Hubert, & VanMeter, 2018). An article on the American Academy of Neurology stated the brochure about memory problems and dementia was published November 13, 2013. The brochure provided other organizations where people could get more information about this disease and how well to screen and manage people with memory loss and dementia, some of these organization are NIH Alzheimer’s Disease Education and Referral Center, Eldercare locator, and National Memory screening.
Summary of the article on Memory Problem and Dementia
The main topics discussed in this brochure, which we will be discussing starting with, what are the causes of memory problems? Some of the cause of memory loss has been linked to stress, and anxiety or depression, head injury, stroke, to mention a few. If a person makes visiting the doctor for regular health checkups important, most of these issues mentioned could be avoided.
Another topic discussed was, should a family member or friend go with you to the doctor? From my point of view, I would say yes because a close family or friend can explain better what they have noticed and the changes the person with this problem exhibits.
Another main topic discussed was, when should you be concerned about memory problems? When love ones start forgetting the names of people close to them, which is disheartening or forgetting if they have eaten, forget familiar locations, then that should be the best time to seek help from a specialist.
Another main topic discussed was, how can your family or friends help? Some of the ways family and friends can help is to continuously show love and have as much patience in redirecting the patient without hurting their feelings. Also, learn about helpful ways to manage dementia and join support groups.
Some of the information could promote communication between patients and healthcare providers. The patient should make a list of what worries them about the disease and try to be as honest as possible and not assuming the healthcare provider should know everything just by looking at the patient, that would promote communication between patient and healthcare provider. Also, write or bring all medication-taking even, herbals or vitamins (Coleman, 2015).
Evaluation of the Brochure
When I took a good look at this brochure, the step ...
Demographic change is demanding new responses from our society, workplaces, public services and family life
as our population and workforce age. As the number of working age people caring for older loved ones with
health conditions such as dementia rises, the impact on people’s ability to work is becoming an increasingly
critical issue for employers.
Half the UK’s 6.5 million carers are juggling paid work alongside caring. Within the total population of carers,
the number of people caring for loved ones with dementia is rising and is set to reach 850,000 by the end of the
decade.
1 Research has shown full-time working carers are most likely to care for a loved one with dementia.
2 The employers and carers we work with are telling us the same story as the statistics – that dementia and the
impact on employees of caring is a key issue for workforce retention, recruitment and resilience. Very often
the need to care for an elderly parent comes at peak career age. Without the right support, the challenges of
combining such caring with work (often also with other family responsibilities) can quickly become too difficult
to manage. Employees with valuable experience and skills will then either leave their jobs or struggle to cope
in the workplace. From earlier research we already know that 1 in 6 carers leave work or reduce their hours to
care.
According to the Alzheimer's Association website more than 5 million Americans are living with Alzheimer's. The disease deeply affects patients and caregivers.
In March this year, Harbinger Consultants trialled an initiative in health promotion to raise awareness of dementia. The initiative sought to: raise money for dementia research through a sponsored 50km bike ride; and raise awareness of brain health and dementia through a BBQ breakfast event. Based on an action research approach, the idea of the Brainy Breakfast BBQ was to bring people together in a convivial environment to exchange information, share stories and generally catch up. This document reports on the event and provides recommendations for ongoing development of this initiative.

Arthritis affects one out of every five Americans – an estimated 52.5 million people – and is the leading cause of disability in the nation. The condition itself can make it difficult and painful to conduct even the most mundane daily tasks such as walking, climbing stairs, using a computer, or brushing your teeth. The term “arthritis” encompasses over 100 rheumatic conditions that impact the body’s joints, causing pain and inflammation to those who suffer with it.

[Infographic] Living with the Repetitive Symptoms of DementiaGriswold Home Care
To recognize World Alzheimer's Awareness Month in September, we have created a highly visual infographic that captures the nature of repetitive symptoms and their impact on the lives of people living with dementia. Repetitive symptoms are often misunderstood and create frustration and exhaustion for clients and their family/professional caregivers. It is important to remember that people with dementia cannot control their symptoms. The good news is that there are effective tools and approaches that can improve our understanding and response to repetitive symptoms. Read on to learn about the common triggers for repetitive symptoms and how they can be managed. We hope that this infographic provides innovative, practical approaches that improve quality of life for all involved in dementia care and support.
We are very fortunate to have access to great tools, checklists, and resources related to Home Safety for people with Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). To celebrate National Home Safety Week, we thought it would be important to validate the emotional side of Alzheimer’s safety issues. We also have an opportunity to learn more about the cause of safety issues.
We’ve all heard that protecting skin from the sun will help prevent it from aging. But if you’re already older, is there any point to worrying about sun damage? Since the skin becomes more delicate and vulnerable as we age, that means that it’s more important than ever for older adults to protect their skin from damage caused by the sun. Older adults need to take special precautions to limit their sun exposure as much as possible.

“The quality of life in patients with MS is not solely determined by physical disability, but rather by the level of social support, living area, depression, level of education, employment, fatigue and religiosity. Accordingly, we suggest that these should be evaluated in every patient with MS as they may be modified by targeted interventions.” (Yamout et al, 2013)
[INFOGRAPHIC] Uncovering Hidden Symptoms of Parkinson’s DiseaseGriswold Home Care
In 2012, the National Parkinson’s Foundation presented findings from the largest study to date of clients with Parkinson’s Disease (PD) and their caregivers – The Parkinson’s Outcomes Project – A report to the community. One key finding from this landmark study is that depression and anxiety had the greatest impact on health status for clients with PD.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) — also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease — is a disease that affects motor neurons in the brain and the spinal cord. Motor neurons reach from the brain to the spinal cord and affect muscle movement. The ongoing damage from ALS causes motor neurons to die. When this occurs, the brain can no longer start or control muscle movement. This eventually can lead to paralysis.
