Social Policy and Redistribution: Chile and Uruguay

In this chapter we ask two questions: First, we ask whether these governments, exemplifying best-case scenarios in Latin America, have embarked on a viable path toward a sustainable social democratic welfare state. Second, we ask whether and why they differ in their approaches and progress on this path, paying close attention to how the parties\u27 organizational characteristics influence this variation. In their introduction, Levitsky and Roberts classify the left parties in Chile and Uruguay as an institutionalized partisan Left, distinguished between an electoral-professional Left and a mass-organic Left. Uruguay\u27s FA is an example of a mass-organic left party, while Chile\u27s PS is an example of an electoral-professional left party. We contend that this difference in organizational character has important consequences for the types of social policy reform adopted

If dependency makes vulnerable: Nursing home residents' claims for dignity-conserving nursing care - A narrative literature review Abstract. Introduction: Due to an increase in the very old population, it is important to know what is needed in order to support older people's needs regarding dignity-conserving nursing care when living in a nursing home. Aim: The aim of this article is to gather information on how nursing home residents feel respected and protected in regards of their dignity. Methods: A narrative literature review was conducted in the databases CINAHL Complete and PubMed. Six qualitative studies met the inclusion criteria and were compared regarding similarities. Results: The protection of dignity is jeopardized not only by the residents' dependency, but also by nurses, social environment, and society. To protect their own dignity, residents wanted to be perceived as individuals and be treated with respect. Additionally, they wanted to be as independent as possible and take part in meaningful activities. Discussion: Facilitation of staff members as well as flat, peripheral leadership structures are important in order to protect the residents' dignity. The residents' needs regarding social and societal participation has been additionally challenged due to the Covid-19 pandemic. At the same time, the pandemic enforced innovations that may help protect nursing home residents' dignity. Conclusions: These findings can help nurses to protect the dignity of nursing home residents in their daily lives and in the implementation of care measures

Effects of high-fidelity simulation on self-efficacy in undergraduate nursing education regarding family systems care and early palliative care

Objective: Family systems care and palliative care are main topics in nursing education and practice. Self-efficacy of undergraduate nursing students is strengthened by high-fidelity simulation. The aim of this study was to explore the effects of high-fidelity simulation on the self-efficacy of undergraduate nursing students regarding family systems care and early palliative care in an adult setting. Methods: A quasi-experimental study design with repeated measures was conducted. Self-Efficacy was measured using the Family Nursing Practice Scale (FNPS) and the Self-Efficacy-Subscale of the Bonner Palliativwissenstest (BPW) before the start of the theoretical family systems care and palliative care courses (t1), after completion of the courses (t2), immediately after high-fidelity simulation (t3) and 3 months after high-fidelity simulation (t4). A linear mixed model was performed to evaluate the difference of self-efficacy between the times of measurement. Results: A total of 46 undergraduate nursing students participated in the study. There were statistically significant differences regarding the FNPS between t1 and t3 (p = .0019) as well as t1 and t4 (p = .0198), and regarding the BPW between t1 and t3 (p ≤ .0001), t1 and t4 (p = .0012), as well as t2 and t3 (p = .0112). Between the other times of measurement, no statistically significant differences were found. Conclusions: High-fidelity simulation in combination with traditional learning methods can have a short- and long-term effect on undergraduate nursing students’ self-efficacy regarding family systems care and early palliative care in hospitalized adult patients
