“…This is nothing new, as recent studies show that we should be more concerned about healthcare support workers [33], who need to develop personalised care practices based on patients' individual preferences and needs [34]. This requirement leads the healthcare support worker to change their lifestyle and face different stressors that they are sometimes unable to control, which triggers a state of physical and mental exhaustion, thus hindering their performance in the work environment [9]. Some participants reported feeling psychologically affected due to the great emotional burden of caring for a patient [35].…”

“…Healthcare support workers are essential in optimising the quality and safety of care provided at home and in care homes [8]. They are responsible for attending to the physical and emotional needs of patients in different social and healthcare settings [9]. In Spain, the Royal Decree 1593/2011 of 4th November 2011 recognises the figure of Technician in Care for People in a Situation of Dependency (TCPSD), otherwise known as a healthcare support worker, within the area of vocational training (VT).…”

Background: With life expectancy increasing, there is a growing need to train healthcare support workers who provide care for dependent people in healthcare centres and at home. This qualitative study, based on Gadamer’s hermeneutic philosophy, aimed to understand the learning experiences of future healthcare support workers currently enrolled in an intermediate, dual modality vocational training programme with regard to caring for dependent people. Methods: Convenience sampling was used to recruit the participants, who were all students enrolled in an intermediate level vocational training programme in care for dependent people. Fourteen in-depth interviews and one focus group session were conducted with the students. Atlas.ti 8.0 software was used to analyse the participants’ accounts. Results: The students highlighted the vocational nature of their studies and the need to feel competent and useful as a healthcare support worker for dependent people. Practice-based learning and the need for training in core competences are complementary and essential elements of the training process. Conclusions:The participants’ previous experiences were key in determining their academic trajectory and reflect their motivation and interest to learn. However, they feel vulnerable, unprotected, and lack training in psychosocial skills. Educational institutions should focus training programmes on the practice and development of psychosocial skills that motivate students to acquire transversal competences.

“…Estas prevalencias son muy altas si consideramos la registrada por (Henao et al 2021)., con un 17% para la leve y un 3.8% para la carga severa. Sin embargo, las prevalencias varían según el tipo de discapacidad, de hecho, en pacientes con distrofia muscular espinal esta llega a ser mayor a la observada en nuestro estudio con un 28% para la sobrecarga intensa y 58% para la sobrecarga ligera (Martínez et al 2020).…”

La principal discapacidad fue la intelectual 46.3%, siendo moderada 27.6% y severa el 72.4%. La sobrecarga se observó en el 52.9% de cuidadores, con un 29.3% de tipo ligera y un 23.6% de tipo severa.

The involvement of the family, friends, and other people who are important to the patient has always been at the centre of any person-centred care process. Following a fragility fracture, many patients want their family and significant others to be involved in their care, both during hospitalisation and after discharge, and it is often expected that families will provide or lead ongoing care after discharge.It is well documented that postoperative functional decline is influenced by a great complexity of factors and that care aimed at preserving patients’ maximum autonomy, improving their perception of their health status, maintaining their social support network, and ensuring healthy living conditions is essential. The introduction of orthogeriatric units has made it possible to reduce the average length of stay and mortality, improve diagnostic accuracy, and reduce the cost of caring for these patients.The World Health Organization (WHO) recognises that the patient’s home is the natural environment in which they can develop their maximum functional and health potential. There is also considerable evidence that educational interventions can effectively contribute to functional recovery and improved patient compliance. Education has also been identified as a key element in the effectiveness of fracture coordination units. Health education aimed at preparing patients and their carers for a safe transition home can help during the first days after discharge from hospital and contribute to a reduction in rehospitalisation and an improvement in functional recovery and quality of life.This chapter will explore the importance of patient and family partnership in healthcare following fragility fracture and the importance of educational support from health professionals to ensure better functional recovery, quality of life and reduction of care-related burden.
