Een goede vocht- en voedselvoorziening in zorginstellingen lijkt een vanzelfsprekende zaak in een welvarend land als Nederland. Niettemin constateerde de Inspectie voor de Gezondheidszorg in 1997 dat lang niet altijd eten en drinken in deze instellingen op de behoefte van de cliënt gerichte zorg is. 1 Sinds 1997 is er veel verbeterd. De betrokken beroepsverenigingen hebben onder auspiciën van ARCARES de handschoen opgepakt en een richtlijn opgesteld die handvatten biedt voor een verantwoord vocht- en voedingsbeleid binnen de instellingen. 2 Helaas blijkt volgens een recent rapport van de Inspectie deze zorg toch nog onvoldoende bij ongeveer een derde van de onderzochte instellingen. 相似文献

Frail elderly with polypharmacy are at greater risk of preventable medication-related health damage. To improve medication safety, the healthcare field prepared, in consultation with the Dutch Health Care Inspectorate, a number of guidelines and standards containing conditions for safe prescribing. According to these standards the active involvement of patients by health care professionals is essential for good pharmacotherapeutic care. However, two studies with patients show that there is still room for improvement. According to patients, they can be (even) better informed about changes in their medication. Also the caregivers could communicate more clearly who is the central contact point and who is ultimately responsible for the medication. Patients are not sufficiently informed on this. Furthermore, there is uncertainty about how and why medication reviews are performed. More explanation to patients about this is desirable. In addition, patients experience that keeping their medication list up to date and transferring medication data between health care providers could be improved. Finally, a group of patients welcomes the opportunity to co-decide on changes in their medication. In order to prescribe safely, it is crucial that caregivers actively involve patients in pharmacotherapeutic care and really enter into conversation with them about their medication. 相似文献

Background
Due to the rise of older patients with multi-morbidity, we need more elderly care physicians. However, not all available training slots for the elderly care medicine specialty have been fully utilized in recent years. To assess medical student interest in this specialty as well as potential causes for this interest we explored the interest of medical students in the profession of elderly care physician, as well their perception of this profession, both in the ‘old curriculum’ and in a ‘new curriculum’, where the new curriculum had a mandatory elderly care medicine clerkship and more competency-related learning.Method
At VUmc 120 final year medical students were asked to complete a questionnaire in 2014 about professional preferences and professional characteristics. The same questionnaire had been presented five years earlier, in 2009, to 150 medical students at the end of their final year.Results
The response rates were 100% and 85% respectively. Of the students in the new curriculum 16,7% considered a career in elderly care medicine. This percentage was 9,4% for students in the old curriculum (p?=?0,087). The characteristics of the profession that appealed most to the students, but were not considered applicable to elderly care medicine were: diagnostics skills, acute complaints, visible results. The professional characteristics that students found to be very much applicable to this specialty, but less attractive for their future profession were: psychosocial, chronic and terminal conditions.Discussion
We observe a trend that students in the new curriculum are more interested in the profession of elderly care physician, even though this interest remains limited. We recommend that the basic medical training, both in the bachelor phase and in a mandatory elderly care medicine clerkship, focus more on demonstrating that the characteristics students find appealing in the medical profession are indeed present in this speciality. Also, the basic training should concentrate more on guidance and treatment of patients with chronic and terminal conditions.9.

Summary The rare earth radionuclides177Lu and153Sm were administered as single i.p. injections in NMRI mice. Lu was deposited principally (up to 60%) in the skeleton if the quantity of stable carrier was low. Increase of stable carrier enhanced deposition in the reticulo-endothelial system. Sm was preferentially deposited in the liver; the liver deposits were further increased by the addition of stable Sm. Liver doses of between 75 and 150 Gy, resulting from a single injection of153Sm together with 2 mg/kg stable carrier, led to severe lesions in the liver five months after treatment.Administration of177Lu resulting in skeletal doses of between 28 and 224 Gy was found to be osteosarcomogenic. Up to 40% osteosarcoma incidence was obtained in animals with 56 and 112 Gy doses in the skeleton. Skeletal doses of this order of magnitude are also known to be osteosarcomogenic when given as90Sr injections. The analogous situation with-emitters is discussed.Dedicated to Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Gössner on the occasion of his 60th birthdayIn Association with EURATOM (Contr. Nr. 218-76-1) 相似文献

Desmopressin, a synthetic analog of the antidiuretic hormone, is used in the treatment of enuresis nocturna in children and increasingly also in adults. Nocturia in the elderly causes sleeping disorders and is associated with a higher risk of falling and increased mortality. Desmopressin leads to a significant decrement of nocturia and consequently, a better sleep quality and is for this reason increasingly prescribed in the old. Desmopressin causes borderline hyponatremia (130-135 mmol/l) in 15% and severe hyponatremia in 5% of all adult users. Factors that predispose to hyponatremia are a higher dose, age > 65 years, a low-normal serum sodium, a high 24-hour urine volume and co-medication (thiazide diuretics, tricyclic antidepressants, serotonin-reuptake-inhibitors, chlorpromazine, carbamazipine, loperamide, Non-Steroidal-Anti-Inflammatory-Drugs). Hyponatremia is associated with headache, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and can cause somnolence, loss of consciousness and death. We present two cases where initiation of desmopressin led to hyponatremia, requiring hospitalization. In view of the high risk of desmopressin-associated hyponatremia in the older population, alternative treatment strategies for nocturia must be considered first. If desmopressin is prescribed, strict follow-up of serum sodium levels is necessary. 相似文献

The oral health status of residents in Dutch nursing homes is rather poor, especially of those depending on caregivers for their oral health care. Moreover, when care dependency is rising, the provision of good oral health care becomes more difficult. With more elderly people still having (parts of) their natural teeth, the need for good oral health care is increasing even more. Therefore a specific guideline was developed. The ultimate aim of the guideline "Oral health care for dependent residents in long term care facilities" is to improve the oral health of nursing home residents. Oral health care needs to be incorporated in daily nursing home care routine and in the integral care plan of every resident. Attention is given to the importance of an adequate implementation of this guideline as well as to the necessity of research evaluating the effects of it's implementation. 相似文献

Evidence based medicine (EBM) is the integration of the best research evidence, clinical expertise and patient values in the decision making process for patient care. However, elderly people are often excluded from participating in scientific studies and they often have multiple morbidities, which complicates the application of EBM. Shared decision making (SDM), a process where clinicians and patients share the best available evidence when faced with the task of making decisions, and where patients are supported to consider options, to achieve appropriate treatment can help to shape EBM for this group of patients.In this article, we provide tools for finding relevant literature for the geriatric patient population and for shaping the SDM process to achieve personalized care. 相似文献

In this case-report we present a patient with a psychiatric history of a chronic depressive disorder. After a period of several years of ambivalence, he decided to refuse nutrition and hydration because he--in the words of the Royal Dutch Medical Association--was "suffering from life". There was no request for euthanasia or physician assisted suicide. His first attempt, that lasted six weeks, did not result in his death. A second attempt, four months later, ended successfully. We describe the pitfalls that the patient, his family and the professional caregivers faced in both trajectories. The premorbid psychiatric disorder with polypharmacy and several psychotropic drugs as a result, the enormous complaints of thirst, the role of his wife and the dilemmas faced by the professionals made this case very complex. These issues make such cases very challenging for professional teams that have to provide good palliative care. 相似文献

In the Netherlands and abroad detailed indicators are developed to measure quality of care for a variety of treatments and care systems. These days the development of quality indicators is a profession and business in itself. The significance of these indicators is often not related to the primary care process, but based on (administrative) data for 'quality management'. The consequence is a gap between 'real' and 'measured' quality of care. Improvement in quality of care is therefore problematic. There is a need to return to the essence of care, i.e. the patient and the care professional, to develop appropriate indicators for quality of care. 相似文献

The GDS-8; a short, client- and user-friendly shortened version of the Geriatric Depression Scale for nursing homes The objective of this study was to construct a patient- and user-friendly shortened version of the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) that is especially suitable for nursing home patients. The study was carried out on two different data bases including 23 Dutch nursing homes. Data on the GDS (n=410), the Mini Mental State Examination (n=410) and a diagnostic interview (SCAN; n=333), were collected by trained clinicians. Firstly, the items of the GDS-15 were judged on their clinical applicability by three clinical experts. Subsequently, seven items that were identified as unsuitable were removed using the GDS-data of the Assess-project (n=77), and internal consistency was calculated. Secondly, with respect to criterion validity (sensitivity, specificity, area under ROC and positive and negative predictive values), the newly constructed 8-item version of the GDS was validated in the AGED data set (n=333), using DSM-IV diagnosis for depression as measured by the SCAN as ‘gold standard’. In the AGED dataset, the GDS-8 was internally consistent (a=.80) and high sensitivity rates of 96.3% for major depression and 83.0% for minor depression were found, with a specificity rate of 71.7% at a cut-off point of 2/3. The GDS-8 has good psychometric properties. Given that the GDS-8 is less burdening for the patient, more comfortable to use and less time consuming, it may be a more feasible screening test for the frail nursing home population.
