“…The burgeoning amount of research and literature addresses both questions of value and need and the practice of service delivery. Biopsychosocial care is generally acknowledged as the most responsive to the identified needs of the elderly in maintaining quality of life (Joyce andKrawczyk, 1978, Melin andHymans, 1977).…”

The majority of long term care facilities for the elderly have the characteristics of total institutions. Care is based on the medical model which emphazises the physical needs of the residents. Current gerontological research and literature concludes that a biopsychosocial approach offers the highest quality of care to the elderly in institutions. This paper discusses political, economic, institutional and professional barriers to the implementation of the holistic approach to care. It recognizes that accommodation to the constraints identified is required. It then comments on the potential for an active alliance between two important actors in traditional long term care service delivery, the professional social worker and the nurse, to move the institution towards biopsychosocial care.

The nurse‐patient relationship: theme and variations

The nurse-patient relationship traditionally has been thought central to professional practice. For several decades, nurse theorists have explored the communication processes which mediate clinical practice and the variously described outcomes of these processes. Yet while interpersonal skills and personal attributes have been considered integral to professional bonding, and while outcomes of the process are widely discussed, clinically based validation of theorized process components has not been definitively accomplished. To this end, 67 critical incidents concerning experienced clinicians' perceptions of their closest professional relationships were analysed. The perceived professional bond was demonstrated to be a cumulative process of attachment with three qualitatively different levels of involvement and two impasse states. The most intense levels of attachment were perceived to be the most beneficial by the nurses who described relationships characterized by mutuality and reciprocity. This level was not, however, achieved by all nurses in the sample. Implications of the perceived outcomes of the most intimate professional relationships were discussed.

The purpose of the present research was to assess the empirical relationship of the psychosocial variables of empathy, attitudes, and ideological orientation toward treatment (custodial versus therapeutic). The sample consisted of 363 volunteers representing all levels of nursing personnel in seven different nursing homes. The data analysis indicated that a low level of empathy, negative attitudes toward the elderly, and a custodial orientation toward treatment were significantly positively correlated. Positive attitudes were not significantly correlated with empathy, orientation toward treatment, or negative attitudes. There were significant differences in empathy, negative attitudes, and custodial orientation toward treatment among the staff levels and nursing homes. However, positive attitudes varied significantly only among nursing homes. These data suggest directions for enhancing the ability of nursing personnel to interact therapeutically with elderly persons in nursing homes.

Abstract: If a man does not keep pace with his companions perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.
