Abstract

Social day care is an important component in the health care continuum for older adults. At present there are no regulations mandating staff composition, therefore each program may have a different staff configuration. One such social day program, The Club, provides services to individuals with dementia and has had a nurse as part of its interdisciplinary team since its inception in 1984. Nursing in a social day care environment is challenging and draws on all of one's nursing skills. The nurse is an important member of the day care staff: The nurse helps individuals with dementia achieve success in the program and assists the caregiver through education and counseling to maintain the person in the community. This Spotlight features an overview of the multiple and interdisciplinary roles Ellen Tolle, RN, MPS plays as Program Director at The Club. These include the nurse as administrator, clinician, educator, and counselor in a dementia-specific social day program.

摘要

社会日托是老年人医疗保健连续体的一个重要组成部分。目前没有规定强制要求员工构成，因此每个项目的员工配置可能不同。一个这样的社会日托项目，即“俱乐部”，为患有痴呆症的个人提供服务，自1984年成立以来，就有一名护士作为其跨学科团队的一员。在社会日托环境中护理具有挑战性，需要运用个人所有的护理技能。护士是日托工作人员中的重要一员：护士帮助患有痴呆症的个人在项目中取得成功，并通过教育和咨询协助护理人员将患者维持在社区中。本聚焦文章概述了注册护士、医学与公共服务硕士艾伦·托勒作为“俱乐部”项目主任所扮演的多重跨学科角色。这些角色包括在一个针对痴呆症的社会日托项目中担任行政管理人员、临床医生、教育工作者和咨询师的护士。
