  • Bridging the Knowledge Gap: From Evidence to Policy and Practice that Fosters Seniors' Independence

  • Evelyn Shapiro, Betty Havens
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    29 November 2010, pp. 176-190

  • The objectives of this synthesis are to highlight some of the evidence presented by the other articles in this issue and to discuss how this evidence can be used to design policies and deliver health care services which foster seniors' independence within a health reform context. This paper, therefore, first examines health reform and proceeds from there to discuss the key findings of the studies reported in this journal issue. The discussion then focusses on the importance of the evidence presented for policy making, planning and practice within the current context. Each section concludes by identifying the specific gaps in knowledge that require either additional literature reviews or further research.

  • Specialized Continuing Care Models For Persons with Dementia: A Systematic Review of the Research Literature

  • Jacqueline Roberts, Gina Browne, Amiram Gafni, Michael Varieur, Patricia Loney, Maureen de Ruijter
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    29 November 2010, pp. 106-126

  • This systematic overview summarizes the published literature reflecting the effectiveness of services or models of care for persons with dementia living in their homes, in specialized institutional care or assisted living centres/congregate homes. A detailed search for literature found studies evaluating respite care, day programs, counselling, congregate living, and special care units in institutions and there is some evidence of the effectiveness of these programs. No scientifically rigorous effectiveness studies, specific for persons with dementia, were found for hospice care, case management or psychogeriatric outreach mental health programs. First and foremost, more research is needed that examines the effectiveness of different programs for specific persons and their caregivers with different characteristics and the measurement of family expenditures as well as costs of programs.
