• Elder abuse is common, affecting 5%-10% of older adults.• There is insufficient evidence to recommend screening all older people for elder abuse and insufficient evidence to recommend any one intervention.• However, physicians still need to address this relatively common health issue. An advocacy approach for suspected elder abuse is recommended.• Following an assessment of capacity, physicians should educate the patient about elder abuse and direct him or her to local resources, including home care and respite agencies, legal services, shelters and government-supported elder-abuse and police services.

“…It is the first DVD program reported in the literature that instructs family caregivers on how to perform hands-on safe mobility skills. Previous studies have prepared family caregivers on psychosocial support techniques [24][25][26] and postoperative care [27]. However, there are no previously reported studies involving the use of electronic technology for teaching family caregivers hands-on skills such as fall prevention and none have evaluated change in patient behavior, such as fall occurrence.…”

A DVD Program on Fall Prevention Skills Training for Cancer Family Caregivers

et al. 2011

This feasibility study tested an instructional DVD program for improving cancer family caregivers' knowledge and preparedness in fall prevention and reducing fall occurrence among the patients they care for at home. DVD program features included training caregivers on safe mobility skills. Family caregivers of cancer patients were surveyed before and after viewing the DVD program on "Moving Safely" in the home. Cancer patients were followed 4 months postintervention to determine if fall occurrence was reduced. There was a decrease in the number of patients who fell postintervention compared with those who fell preintervention. Caregivers' perceptions of knowledge about fall prevention improved significantly after viewing the DVD. An instructional DVD program is an effective educational tool for preparing family caregivers with the knowledge and skills needed to reduce the incidence of falls in the home setting. Educators must develop programs for preparing family caregivers to perform nursing skills within the home.

“…Also, when Drossel et al . () delivered an adapted Linehan's model of DBT skill training to a group of caregivers of persons with dementia, the outcome showed a significant increase in the psychosocial functioning of the caregivers as well as enhanced emotional well‐being. Moreover, because DBT has proved to be successful in the treatment of BPD, Van Dijk et al .…”

Dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) in the treatment of borderline personality disorder

Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a complex disorder that is difficult to treat. However, dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), developed by Dr. Marsha Linehan in the early 1990s, has emerged as a promising treatment option for those diagnosed with BPD. DBT is a multi-pronged treatment approach delivered normally in outpatient settings over 12 months and requires highly skilled and trained therapists. Many trials have provided evidence to support the use of DBT in the treatment of BPD. However, outcome measures vary and are mostly limited to measurable behavioural outcomes such as incidences of deliberate self-harm or suicidal thoughts. Two recent Cochrane reviews conclude that DBT does benefit those with BPD, but more robust evidence is needed. DBT training for health care professionals also has the potential to shift health care professionals' attitudes from one of therapeutic pessimism to one of optimism.
