| Annotation | Although the National Service Framework for Older People (NSF) emphasises the importance of maintaining and improving care, there continues to be a problem in health and social care relating to preserving older people's dignity. The overall objectives of this 2-year project were to: identify and validate person-centred attributes of dignity in relation to continence; develop reflective guidelines for the provision of dignified care in health care settings; and produce recommendations for best practice. This report presents the findings from the second of three phases on the project. Phase 2 was in two stages, and sought to develop and refine person-centred attributes of dignity in continence care through observation and validation processes in nursing home and hospital settings. Stage 1 developed and piloted a detailed structural observation schedule for measuring the quality of care, using the attributes identified in Phase 1. Stage 2 validated the observed attributes using a semi-structured interview approach with participants. Copies of the documentation associated with interviewing are included as appendices. (RH). |
