“…These results support the view of policy documents that updating training enhances the quality of care [42]. The results also show that the role and attitude of the manager are important for successful training interventions by staff [41,43,44]. …”

“…Management of updating training was researched in four studies. These studies explored the outcomes of a development program for managers and staff [42], reasons to increase staff attendance on training programs [44], staff’s capacity to identify their learning needs [41] and staff attitudes to education and supervision [43]. These results support the view of policy documents that updating training enhances the quality of care [42].…”

BackgroundElderly care practice and its management together with policy and research play a crucial role in responding to increasing challenges in institutional care for elderly people. Successful dialogue between these is necessary. The purpose of this systematic literature review is to compare how institutional elderly care management research meets the care challenges currently emphasized in international long-term care policy documents.MethodsThis paper was based on a systematic literature review. After screening 1971 abstracts using inclusion/exclusion criteria, 58 refereed articles published between 2000 and 2010 remained for analysis. The articles were analyzed using theory-based content analysis by comparing the results to the framework based on analysis of international long-term care management policy documents.ResultsThe current challenges of long-term care management identified from policy documents were Integrated Care Management, Productivity Management, Quality Management, Workforce Management and ICT Management. The research on institutional elderly care management responded somewhat to the challenges mentioned in policy documents. However, some of the challenges were studied broadly and some were paid only minor attention. Further, only few studies focused on the core items of challenges addressed in policy documents.ConclusionsInstitutional care management research needs to focus more on challenges in integrated care, productivity, ICT and division of labor. Managers, researchers and policy-makers should assume more active collaborative roles in processes of research, policymaking and policy implementation. In addition managers’ and policymakers’ scientific literacy needs to be enhanced.

“…However, neither management nor the staff prioritised participation in clinical supervision settings, which might have undermined its potential benefits. Häggström and Bruhn [16] showed that employees responsible for the care of older people felt positive towards the idea of participating in clinical supervision, but they felt that the management did not create the conditions needed to carry out supervision during work hours. The authors concluded that clinical supervision had to be integrated into work life.…”

Satisfied employees in healthcare services who have opportunities to develop their professional competence by reflecting on professional challenges play an important role in the quality of care. The aim of the present study was to describe the employees' experience of the benefits of participating in a personcentred clinical supervision setting. The supervision, guided by a professional supervisor, was carried out with a group of six day-and night-shift municipal healthcare professionals for a period of four months during their mandatory work hours. Data were obtained from written individual evaluations and group interviews shortly after the last session and again twelve months later. The results showed that the participants experienced that their internal resources and coping skills had been strengthened by the supervision. They developed abilities to meet the challenges more constructively than before. New understandings gave them the opportunity to alternative actions in practice. Further intervention studies of person-centred clinical supervision must focus on such clinical outcomes as patient safety and professional development.

“…Responses suggest that even though interest in training is generally present, willingness to participate drops if training sessions are held in the afternoon after work hours. Häggström and Bruhn [8] similarly found in their studies that the motivation to participate drops if the training takes place outside of working hours.…”

In order to ensure quality of life for people suffering from dementia, caregivers need to have both a suitable attitude to their clients as well as the corresponding expertise in caring for them. It is important to note that knowledge should be communicated simply and practically, because caregivers often have little prior knowledge and bring with them past learning barriers.What is the best method of educating and training caregivers in dementia care? The literature on approaches to adult education does not provide a clear picture which approach is most effective. This article focuses on Bandura's Social Learning Theory, or learning by observation, as a fruitful approach to educate and train care professionals working in care homes -an important environment for clients with dementia because the number of those affected continues to rise in care homes. Based on the analysis of this particular group of caregivers, I argue that this model has considerable advantages in spite of its criticized behaviorist roots. The suitability of the model, which is comparable with that in the UK, is also discussed in the light of experiences gained in the Vitanas Company, a private institution of care homes in Germany. Two promising field methods are presented: "Humanitude" by Gineste and Marescotti and "Marte Meo" by Aarts; both are based on the approach of observational learning as well as relevant results from neurobiology.
