“…In Canada, the prevalence of major and minor depression among elderly were 2.6 and 4% and were higher for females, specifically those in institutions (Ostbye et al, 2005). In the United States, 20.3% of the elderly dwelling in nursing homes or institutionalized type of care were depressed (Smith, 2010). Kim et al (2009) found in their study that 66.7% of institutionalized Korean elderly and 41.7% of institutionalized Japanese elderly experienced depression.…”

The motivation for the study is to improve the quality of life for elderly in residential care particularly the mental health aspect. Hence, the aim of this study is to examine the prevalence of depression and to identify risk factors related to depression among Malay elderly in residential care. Changes in social structure and economic status have shifted the direction of care for elderly people, as the value of filial piety has gradually declined among the modern Malays. The researchers hypothesized that the level of depression among institutionalized Malay elderly people is high. Altogether, 98 of Malay elderly (men 41.8%, women 58.2%) participated in this study from eight residential cares in Peninsular Malaysia. They were chosen according to the following criteria: Malay ethnic, aged 60 years and above, able to communicate and with no severe mental and/or physical health problem. The Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-30) was used to assess depression among the elderly. Overall, the study found that 70.4% of the Malay elderly in the residential care were diagnosed with depression, where 39.8% had mild depression and 30.6% were suffered from major depression. Five factors were identified as the high risk factors of depression among the Malay elderly i.e., sadness, helplessness, isolation, loneliness and loss of interest in activities (76.8-86.9%). As a conclusion, the prevalence of depression among the Malay elderly in the present study is high. Besides arranging a regular program on screening for depression, it is also important for the residential care providers to create and organize special activities for the elderly in order to reduce them from the risk factors of depression. They should be ensured to have a healthier and happier life at the institutions, if the residential care providers would like to increase the elderly mental health status.

“…The leader has to trust the ability of employees and employees have to trust the promise of innovation of the leader. Also the research of team climate for innovation believed building a circumstance for developing creativity will be important to include trust and the feeling of safeness (Chandler et al, 2000;Ragazzoni et al, 2002;Isaksen and Lauer, 2002;Smith, 2010). Therefore, if employees feel free to have new ideas and do innovation, then it will be very critical in the trust of leader (Chandler et al, 2000).…”

Problem statement:The main goal behind this study tries to figure out whether or not the leader's supportive behavior will influence subordinates' creativity and is there any affection of trust between leaders' supportive behavior and subordinates' creativity? Approach: This study was conducted to examine the relationships between leader support behavior and subordinate creativity and the moderating effect of trust on subordinates' creativity under the leader support behavior. Results: From the analysis, we found the supportive behavior of leaders, employees' creativity and employee to leaders' trust is significant related and trust is also partial moderating. Conclusion: Based on the finding of the this study, we argue that leadership of creative subordinates required leader support behavior and trust in management, thus, the creativity in organization could be enhanced.

“…2 An Australian study examining end of life care in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) described the processes and tensions involved in care provision when staff believed care to be futile. 33 The authors highlighted the lack of control many staff perceived in the ICU context and identified communication and coping strategies employed to influence clinical decision making 'upstream', engage in selfmanagement practices, and improve patient care. Ethnographic methods are ideally suited towards understanding these influences and relational dynamics that form the bases of care provision, especially given the multidisciplinary nature of palliative care.…”

Background: Ethnography has been used to address a broad range of research questions in health care. With ethnographic research methods it is possible to gain access to the complex realities of health care practice as it occurs, through interpreting the nuances of individual and team behaviours, the roles and dynamics of care provision, and the social impacts and influences of illness. The provision of clinical palliative care is complex, involving multidisciplinary collaboration across different health systems, and is subject to a multitude of personal, cultural and environmental influences. This complexity demands creative methodological approaches to research in palliative care, of which ethnography plays an important, if infrequently utilised, role. Aim: This article aims to explore potential opportunities of ethnographic methods for palliative care research. Findings: Ethnographic methods focuses on behaviour in the ‘natural’ setting of participants, to create theoretical descriptions of events, cultures, interactions and experiences. In palliative care these methods may provide nuanced understandings of illness, relationships and teams, communication, medical education, complex care provision, and novel or changing health practices. Of particular importance is the potential of these methods to understand complex practices and processes, and engage with under-represented population groups who may be excluded from interview research. Conclusion: Ethnography offers important opportunities for future research in palliative care and should be considered as part of the ‘research toolbox’ to improve understanding of the complex nature of care provision and the experiences of illness and loss.
