Improving aged care with memory conversations

该项目旨在研究被称为“精细回忆”的对话技巧，作为老年护理人员在与老年客户的日常互动中练习基于关系的护理的一种工具。该项目希望产生关于哪些特定技术在常规护理过程中增加回忆的新知识，以及这些工具如何为老年护理客户带来持续的好处。预期结果包括基于证据的培训计划，以及提高对调解人和满足老年护理客户的社会需求的障碍的理解。这应该会带来显著的好处，改善老年护理客户的福祉，减少住院次数，并使老年护理提供者能够满足新的行业标准。

This project aims to investigate conversational techniques known as "elaborative reminiscing" as a tool for aged care staff to practice relationship-based care in their day-to-day interactions with older clients. The project expects to generate new knowledge about which specific techniques increase reminiscing during routine care, and how these tools have ongoing benefits for aged care clients. Expected outcomes include an evidence-based training program and improved understanding of facilitators and barriers to meeting aged care clients' social needs. This should provide significant benefits by improving wellbeing of clients in aged care, reducing hospitalisations, and enabling aged care providers to meet new industry standards.
