Abstract: To examine residential aged care (RAC) staff awareness of and engagement with dementia‐specific support services and education. A cross‐sectional survey of staff (n = 179) from 36 Victorian RAC facilities. 60% (n = 107) of respondents were aware of dementia‐specific support services, but only 27% (n = 48) accessed services in the previous 2 years. Approximately 77% (n = 137) were aware of dementia‐specific education, with 66% (n = 115) completing education in the previous 2 years. A significantly higher proportion of registered nurses had accessed dementia‐specific support services in the past 2 years compared with enrolled nurses and personal care assistants ( P 0.001). A relatively large proportion of RAC staff were unaware of available dementia‐specific support services and education. While approximately two thirds accessed such education, only one in four accessed dementia‐specific support services. To optimise the quality of care for people with dementia, strategies to increase awareness of and access to these resources are warranted.

Abstract: (a) Describe the co-development of a point-of-care App to promote uptake of best practice recommendations and consolidate nurses' knowledge for managing symptoms of neurocognitive disorders. (b) Report acceptability, usability and feasibility of the App to nurses for patient care in hospital. Strategies used in hospitals to reduce symptoms, risk of harm, or complications of behavioural and psychological symptoms associated with neurocognitive disorders are frequently inconsistent with best practice recommendations. Three-stage, mixed-methods, process and outcome evaluation. The App was co-developed with experts, nurse end-users and a consumer. Evaluation data were collected from a convenience s le of nurses observed during delivery of 80.5 hr of care to 38 patients the App (n = 32 patients) and in idual and focus group interviews with nurses (n = 25). Reporting adhered to an adapted STROBE checklist. The App included three components: cognition and risk assessment tailored evidence-based strategies and monitoring and evaluation of effectiveness. Observation data captured nurses using the App with 44.7% (n = 17) of eligible inpatients. Cognitive screening was completed at least once for each patient, with 146 risk assessments recorded. Interview data indicated the App's acceptability was enhanced by familiarity and perceived benefits, but hindered by perceived increases in workload, inconsistent use, pressure to use the App and resistance to change. Feasibility and usability were enhanced by easy navigation, and clear and useful content, but hindered by unclear expectations, unfamiliarity and device-related factors. The App provided an evidence-based tool that was, overall, considered feasible and acceptable to support best practice. Findings provide guidance to enhance usability for future implementation. Co-development using best evidence and key stakeholders enabled creation of a novel, feasible and acceptable technology. Real-time access to assessment tools and tailored knowledge supported nurses' clinical decision-making workload and unfamiliarity were barriers to use.

Abstract: To examine patients' perceptions of care quality following a same‐day procedure in the cardiac catheterization laboratory and understand the extent to which they were prepared for discharge. Single‐centre, mixed‐methods study. Postdischarge, online survey of patients who underwent a same‐day procedure in the cardiac catheterization laboratory ( n = 150) and one‐on‐one interviews with 13 of these patients. Survey responses were positive with mean scores between 4.39–4.83 out of five and 63.3% of respondents ( n = 95) extremely likely to recommend the service to others. Interview data analysis identified three themes: the care experience, information and education for safe discharge, and follow‐up needs. Participants spoke highly of their interactions with clinicians and were satisfied with their care experience. Mode and content of information delivered varied, with some participants lacking guidance about postdischarge health management and clarity about follow‐up plans. Participants were patients.
