Aims To continuing the quest of the concept of transition in nursing research and to explore how the concept of transition is used in occupational therapy, oral health and social work as well as in interdisciplinary studies in health and welfare, between 2003–2013. Design An integrative literature review. Methods PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO, DOSS, SocIndex, Social Science Citation Index and AMED databases from 2003–2013 were used. Identification of 350 articles including the concept of transition in relation to disciplines included. Assessment of articles are in accordance to Meleis' typologies of transition by experts in each discipline. Chosen key factors were entered into Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). Results Meleis' four typologies were found in all studied disciplines, except development in oral health. The health‐illness type was the most commonly explored, whereas in social work and in occupation therapy, situational transitions dominated.

Long Distance Caregiving: An Evaluative Review of the Literature

2010

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

A comprehensive and evaluative review of empirical research published between 2000 and 2010 specific to long distance caregiving is provided to identify what is known about this subgroup of caregivers and to identify gaps in knowledge. We searched peer-reviewed journals included in the following databases: Academic Search Premier (EBSCO), PROQuest Direct, Social Work Abstracts, CINAHL, MEDLINE, and PsychInfo. Searches were restricted to English language publications between 2000 and 2010. Search terms included: 'review + caregiving + dementia', 'meta-analyses + caregiving + dementia,' 'caregiving + dementia + not institutional,' 'informal + caregiving,' 'family + caregiving', 'caregiving + technology'. Any searches including the term 'dementia' were repeated without that term. These same searches were repeated with the term 'distance' added to each. Empirical research specific to long distance caregiving is reviewed in detail. A brief review is provided of other closely related research. Long distance caregivers report being heavily involved in the care of their family member, regardless of distance and surprisingly, are often the only or primary caregiver. The specific needs for future research to inform best practice that goes beyond description of this important subgroup of caregivers is discussed.While a great deal has been written on many aspects of caregiving for older persons, very little empirical research has been published specific to informal care provided by families to its elderly relatives who are living at a great geographic distance from

“…Individuals participating in online videoconferencing interventions reported feeling positive about the experience, and that online meetings were as helpful as face‐to‐face (Marziali & Donahue, ; Tsaousides, D'Antonio, Varbanova, & Spielman, ). Importantly, similar effect sizes and benefits were found for Internet‐delivered therapy, as compared to their face‐to‐face counterparts, for psychiatric and somatic disorders (Andersson, Cuijpers, Carlbring, Riper, & Hedman, ), depression (Andersson et al, ; Barth et al, ; Spek et al, ), caregiver support (Damianakis, Climans, & Marziali, ), and post‐traumatic stress disorder (Sijbrandiji, Kunovski, & Cuijpers, ).…”

Objective: Online psychological therapy, or e-therapy, has proliferated. e-Therapy enables clinicians to reach clients otherwise unable to access health services. This should be particularly valuable to services, such as Clinical Neuropsychology, that are scarce or unavailable outside major metropolitan centres, but little is known regarding the potential for online neuropsychological therapy. This discussion paper focuses on memory interventions for older adults, and aims to determine whether it is feasible to create an effective online memory intervention. Method: The approach used was to review the literature regarding e-Health generally and factors associated with effective online delivery, as well as specific issues related to Internet usage and current memory interventions for older adults. Regard was given to ethical considerations and practical suggestions were made about the way forward to implement online memory interventions for older adults.Results: There is good evidence that memory interventions for older adults improve memory and increase functional independence. Barriers to online delivery of memory interventions are identified and recommendations for practice provided. Conclusions: Despite various barriers, translation of memory interventions to an online format appears feasible, and would enable delivery to many older adults who would be otherwise unable to access these services.
