“…In this way, we highlight the importance of managing people's expectations of their j WORKING WITH OLDER PEOPLE j role in an IPE initiative. Whilst we held a pre-placement workshop for participants, we suggest additional training sessions or online resource packs could further ease such concerns, acting as "relational icebreakers" (Svensberg et al, 2021, p. 5;Damsga ˚rd et al, 2018), preparing staff, students and residents for the upcoming scheme.…”

“…(p. 493) The care home environment is uniquely suited to IPE opportunities as the multiple health and care needs of residents provide the ideal context for a collaborative experience (Bridges et al, 2011) . Studies exploring IPE training in care home settings highlight that they enhance students' knowledge of other professionals roles (Damsga ˚rd et al, 2018), increase knowledge on the care of older people (Seaman et al, 2017) and improve professional collaboration post-registration (Lawlis et al, 2016).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to report on an interprofessional (IPE) student training scheme recently conducted in three care homes across the Northwest of England. The intervention was designed as a feasibility study to explore the impacts such schemes have on residents, students and care home staff. Additional lessons emerged that contribute to the design and direction of future IPE initiatives in other care homes and care settings. Design/methodology/approach This case study outlines how the intervention was designed and implemented and the findings from its evaluation. This paper uses Biggs’ (1993) presage–process–product framework to evaluate the process of setting up care homes as a site of collaborative learning. Findings Collaborative working between stakeholders is necessary for the successful implementation of IPE in care home settings. The process is complex and requires communication and commitment across all levels of engagement. For this model to grow and have a beneficial impact on older people’s lives, there are layered factors to consider, such as the socio-political context, the characteristics of the individuals who participate and diverse approaches to learning. Research limitations/implications This case study reports the subjective views of the research collaborators. While this raises the potential for bias, it presents an “insider” perspective of the research process and offers learning that might be beneficial in efforts to run future IPE training schemes. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, no other research studies or published interventions have been identified that explicitly address the experiences of implementing an IPE training scheme in UK care home settings. This paper will therefore be useful to academic researchers, individuals managing student placements and to health and social care staff who wish to learn about of the value of IPE learning schemes.

“…Its Turkish validity and reliability was conducted by Dursun and Bektaş in 2017. The scale consists of 5 dimensions as disengagement (6,17,18,19,20,21,24), pain intensity ( 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 22, 23), pain with ambulation ( 9, 10, 11, 12), pain with strenuous activities ( 8,13,14) and pain with other activities ( 7,15,16,17,22). Two of the items in the measure (17,22) are in two of the sub-dimensions together and there are 3 open-ended questions about pain in the scale.…”

“…Since functional decrease causes increased care dependence, it has been stated that sufficient pain management is especially important in this sensitive population (19). Due to the multidimensional nature of pain, the way of pain management should be addressed in elderly individuals (20). For the development of elderly health, psychological determinants of health such as life satisfaction should be evaluated.…”

Objective: This study was conducted to find out the pain management status and life satisfaction of elderly individuals living in a nursing home and to determine the relationship between these.Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in a nursing home in Turkey in November 2019. The data were collected by the researchers with face-to-face interview technique by using "Personal Information Form", "Geriatric Pain Measure (GPM)", "Pain Management Inventory (PMI)" and "Life Satisfaction Scale (LSS)".Results: GPM total score was 48.95±11.24, and average LSS was 14.37±6.85. There is a positive statistically significant association between GPM and PMI (r=0.385; p<0.01), while there is a negative statistically significant association between GPM and LSS (r=-0.369; p<0.01). There is a negative statistically significant association between PMI and LSS (r=-0.344; p<0.01). Conclusion:It was found that elderly individuals had moderate level of pain and poor life satisfaction. It was found that as level of pain increased, elderly individuals' life satisfaction decreased.

“…There is enough evidence from numerous clinical studies that the 'anxiety' status of a patient may be strongly associated with the intensity of the surgical pain experience, [11][12][13][14][15] it is recommended to use distraction to relieve pain as suggested by the gate control theory. Similarly, some study advocated that interprofessional treatment is recommended, and consequently interprofessional education in pain management is necessary [26], not only to the physic, but rather to the psychology. Cognitive behavioral strategies for pain management include hypnosis, relaxation with guided image, distraction, and the use of support groups.…”

Chronic pain (CP) is a very common problem in elders, due to bodily degenerations, worldwide. Studies carried out in various countries have shown that CP is associated with the elders' quality of life, significantly limiting their activities and hampering them to maintain an independence lifestyle. What's worse, elderly suffering from CP mostly also experience mental problems. Yet, there have been only a few such research done and reported on this topic, concerning the elderly ethnic montagnards in the rural southwest Guangxi of China. This study aimed to explore the statement and self-management of rural dwelling elders with CP. First, cross-sectional surveys were conducted and then interviews were carried out. 150 elder people experiencing CP-pain suffered at least 4 to 5 days a week during the past 3 months, according to the criteria of the international Association for the study of Pain (IASP)-were enrolled in this study by convenience sampling. They were asked to fill in 3 questionnaires; the first related to participants' mental status, the second related to participants' perception of pain intensity, and the third related to pain's impact on participants' daily life. Following the completion of questionnaires, individual interviews were conducted, with the help of some students who are fluent in local native languages as well as in Chinese. The results show that CP significantly affected participants' quality of life. The prevalence of suffering from multifocal CP was 90%. In the management of CP, 64% people mainly relied on paregoric means; a wide range self-management techniques were mentioned such as hot compress application for which some plant material was used, collected from the surrounding environment; only a few people went to seek professional treatment. Moreover, most of them said that they had reconciled to the pain or consider it as part of their fate. Encourage older people to seek different ways to manage their pain, not just traditional but complementary and professional approaches. In such severely lacking professional high-level medical resource environment, the elder people should change their cognition of CP and choose pertinence approaches and instruments based on their own condition.
