BACKGROUND The nursing-home population is at a high risk of declined well-being and quality of life. Finding approaches to increase well-being among older adults in nursing-homes is highly warranted. Responding to this need, the approach framed ‘Joy-of-Life-Nursing-Homes’ (JoLNH) was developed in Norway. AIM To investigate the association between nurse-patient interaction and joy-of-life in the nursing-home population. METHODS Cross-sectional data were collected in 2017 and 2018 using the Nurse-Patient Interaction Scale and the Joy-of-Life Scale. A total of 204 cognitively intact nursing-home residents met the inclusion criteria and 188 (92%) participated. A structural equation model (SEM) of the relationship between nurse-patient interaction and joy-of-life was tested by means of STATA/MP 15.1. Ethical approval was given and each participant provided voluntarily written informed consent. RESULTS The SEM-model yielded a good fit with the data (χ2  = 162.418, p = 0.004, df = 118, χ2 /df = 1.38, RMSEA = 0.046, p-close 0.652, CFI = 0.97, TLI = 0.96, and SRMR = 0.054). As hypothesised, nurse-patient interaction related significantly with joy-of-life (γ1,1 = 0.61, t = 7.07**). LIMITATIONS The cross-sectional design does not allow for conclusions on causality. The fact that the researchers visited the participants to help fill in the questionnaire might have introduced some bias into the respondents’ reporting. CONCLUSION Relational qualities of the nurse-patient interaction should be essential integral aspects of nursing-home care. Consequently, such qualities should be emphasised in clinical practice, and research and education should pay more attention to nurse-patient interaction as an important, integral part of the caring process promoting joy-of-life and thereby well-being. © 2020 The Authors.

Family-centred care has become the modern working model in paediatrics and obstetrics. Parental participation is central to family-centred care. Whether it is applied consistently remains to be concluded. AIM The aim of the study was to describe the family experiences of being present during paediatric resuscitation and invasive procedures. METHOD The design used in this study is an integrative review by Whittemore & Knafl. Databases PubMed and CINAHL were searched for primary research concerning the parental experiences of participating in paediatric resuscitation and invasive procedures. Eighteen studies were included in the study. A quality assessment tool was applied. FINDINGS A pro-parental presence was the results of 17 of the 18 included studies. Six common themes were found ‘Being there’, ‘Calming child’, ‘Calming parent’, ‘Having the right’, ‘Do it again’ and ‘Seeing is believing’. CONCLUSION Including family in resuscitation and invasive procedures requires openness as a working model and demands organisational changes and the updating of guidelines. The inseparability of parent-child is attachment theory practised, an innate quality of being a child as well as a parent. Recommendations are to have a facilitator present during resuscitation and invasive procedures to alleviate stress on everyone’s part, enabling family participation. © 2020 Nordic College of Caring Science.OBJECTIVE We aimed to assess the association between migraine headache and incident dementia. BACKGROUND Migraine is a risk factor for white matter hyperintensities and ischemic stroke, which are both associated with increased risk of dementia. However, it is unknown whether migraine is independently associated with dementia. METHODS History of migraine was ascertained via questionnaire. Adjudicated cases of dementia were identified using cognitive tests, neuropsychological exams, and clinician review of suspected cases. Incident dementia was identified using adjudicated cases, follow-up calls, and surveillance of hospital and death codes. We assessed hazards of incident dementia by migraine status. Sex differences were also examined and stratified results were presented. RESULTS Analysis included 12,495 White and African American participants ages 51-70 with a median follow-up time of 21 years. Prevalence of dementia was 18.5% (1821/9955) among those with no migraine history, 15.8% (196/1243) among those with severe non-migraine heading, and 16.7% (233/1397) among migraineurs. There was no association between migraine and incident dementia [hazard ratio 1.04 (0.91, 1.20)]. There was also no statistically significant interaction between sex and migraine status on risk of dementia. CONCLUSION Despite evidence of brain abnormalities in migraineurs, there was no association between migraine and incident dementia in this prospective cohort. © 2020 American Headache Society.RATIONAL Life satisfaction is strongly associated with participation in everyday life activities. Yet, older adults with cognitive impairments have been found to experience difficulties in accessing and engaging in more complex everyday activities, especially, if these involve everyday technology. this website Considering the rapidly advancing technological landscape, this may substantially affect individuals’ life satisfaction and their participation in meaningful community-based and home-based activities. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to explore the associations between life satisfaction, ability to use everyday technology and number of relevant everyday technologies used in older adults (n = 117) with and without mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD). It also aimed to understand the role of depression, activity involvement and diagnosis regarding life satisfaction in this sample. METHOD Descriptive statistics, Mann-Whitney U tests and t-tests were applied to compare those satisfied and those dissatisfied with life regarding ability to use everyday technology and number of relevant everyday technologies used. FINDINGS The number of relevant community-based everyday technologies currently not used was significantly associated with being dissatisfied with life (p  less then  0.05). Further, depression and withdrawal from activities and interests significantly differed across life satisfaction groups, while no group differences were found regarding overall number of everyday technologies in use and ability to use everyday technology. CONCLUSION Attention from healthcare professionals and researchers to early withdrawal from activities that rely on community-based everyday technologies is called for, especially in older adults with depression. Preventing everyday technology-related barriers in community life may increase life satisfaction. © 2020 Nordic College of Caring Science.
