AIM
This paper describes current practices and gaps identified by Aged Care Assessment Service (ACAS) clinicians in the assessment of cognition of clients of culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) background in Victoria.
METHOD
A web-based survey, exploring practices and challenges faced by clinicians in assessing CALD clients and their families, was sent to all Victorian ACAS managers to distribute to their teams. Three focus groups were also conducted with ACAS clinicians to further explore these issues.
RESULTS
Seventy-nine web-based surveys were returned and 21 ACAS clinicians attended a focus group. Challenges reported included the availability and quality of interpreters, and variability in training received and confidence in assessing cognitive impairment in CALD clients.
CONCLUSION
ACAS clinicians reported that assessment of cognition for those of CALD background was challenging. Based on this feedback, practice tip sheets were developed as educational aids to assist ACAS staff.
目的
本文描述了老年护理评估服务（ACAS）临床医生在评估维多利亚州具有文化和语言多样性（CALD）背景的客户认知方面的当前做法和发现的差距。
方法
一项基于网络的调查被发送给所有维多利亚州的ACAS经理，由他们分发给其团队，该调查探讨了临床医生在评估CALD客户及其家庭时面临的做法和挑战。还与ACAS临床医生进行了三个焦点小组讨论，以进一步探讨这些问题。
结果
共收到79份基于网络的调查问卷，21名ACAS临床医生参加了焦点小组讨论。报告的挑战包括口译员的可用性和质量，以及在评估CALD客户认知障碍方面所接受培训的差异和信心。
结论
ACAS临床医生报告称，对CALD背景人群的认知评估具有挑战性。基于此反馈，制定了实践提示表作为教育辅助工具，以协助ACAS工作人员。
