Neglecting the care of older people in residential care settings: A national document analysis of complaints reported to the Finnish supervisory authority
Neglecting to provide older people with the care they need in residential care settings leads to human suffering and increased service needs. Research is lacking on neglect in older people's residential care and one way to assess the key issues is to study complaints. The aim of this study was to analyse official complaints related to allegations of neglect in residential care settings caring for older people in Finland. The data covered 317 complaints that were recorded in the national database in 2018 and 2019. The analysis of the complaints yielded 2,922 observations of neglect in older people's care in residential care settings. Based on our results, most of the complaints were made by family members when the patients were alive and their motivation was to improve the care their relative received, as well as the care of others, in the residential care home. The complaints focused on neglecting clinical care, including restricting older people's movements, not providing daily activities and not paying sufficient attention to their hygiene and secretions. Other complaints included issues relating to nutrition, medication, communication and issues that compromised their privacy, respect and dignity. Nearly three of four complaints identified staffing issues in relation to neglect and most of the complaints concerned private, rather than public, residential care homes. Although the complaints only concerned a small proportion of the annual care provided, more attention should be paid to care practices that prevent neglect in residential care and to multi-level monitoring for dignified care
Coming to Terms with the Concept of Moving Species Threatened by Climate Change â A Systematic Review of the Terminology and Definitions.
Coming to Terms with the Concept of Moving Species Threatened by Climate Change - A Systematic Review of the Terminology and Definitions
Intentional moving of species threatened by climate change is actively being discussed as a conservation approach. The debate, empirical studies, and policy development, however, are impeded by an inconsistent articulation of the idea. The discrepancy is demonstrated by the varying use of terms, such as assisted migration, assisted colonisation, or managed relocation, and their multiple definitions. Since this conservation approach is novel, and may for instance lead to legislative changes, it is important to aim for terminological consistency. The objective of this study is to analyse the suitability of terms and definitions used when discussing the moving of organisms as a response to climate change. An extensive literature search and review of the material (868 scientific publications) was conducted for finding hitherto used terms (N = 40) and definitions (N = 75), and these were analysed for their suitability. Based on the findings, it is argued that an appropriate term for a conservation approach relating to aiding the movement of organisms harmed by climate change is assisted migration defined as follows: Assisted migration means safeguarding biological diversity through the translocation of representatives of a species or population harmed by climate change to an area outside the indigenous range of that unit where it would be predicted to move as climate changes, were it not for anthropogenic dispersal barriers or lack of time. The differences between assisted migration and other conservation translocations are also discussed. A wide adoption of the clear and distinctive term and definition provided would allow more focused research on the topic and enable consistent implementation as practitioners could have the same understanding of the concept.Peer reviewe
"Don't try to teach me, I got nothing to learn": Management students' perceptions of business ethics teaching
[EN] Interest is growing towards including business ethics in university curricula, aiming at improving ethical behaviour of future managers. Extant literature has investigated the impact of ethics education on different ethics-related students' cognitive and/or behavioural outcomes, considering variables related to training programmes and students' demographic aspects. Accordingly, we aim at assessing students' understanding of business ethics issues, by focusing on the differences in students' perceptions depending on gender, age, work experience, and ethics courses taken. Testing our hypotheses on a sample of 307 management students at a Polish university, and controlling for social desirability bias, we obtained mixed and partially surprising results. We found significant differences in students' understanding of business ethics depending on their gender and age (female and older students showed more ethical inclinations), but not depending on having taken ethics courses-actually perceptions of such courses worsened after taking them. Besides, work experience was not a significant variable. Moreover, course exposure intensiveness (i.e., number of ethics courses completed), and time passed since completion of the latest course, did not confirm hypothesized effects on most of the dependent (sub)variables. These findings stimulate further questions and challenges for future research (e.g., around course design and methodology, and social/cultural/contextual issues).Tormo-CarbĂł, G.; Oltra, V.; Klimkiewicz, K.; SeguĂ-Mas, E.
