Positioning and Respectful Professional Interventions for Working with the Legacy of Irish Institutional Care

O'Brien, Valerie
Positioning and Respectful Professional Interventions for Working with the Legacy of Irish Institutional Care
(2016)
O'Brien, Valerie
Abstract:
Since the late 1990's, there has been an outpouring of stories of abuse and maltreatment of residents in Irish institutional settings. The use of institutional care for children and adults in need crosses many cultural and geographical boundaries. Two major differences exist between institutional care in Ireland and that provided elsewhere. First is the extent of the practice and, secondly, the delay in change and the slow pace of commencement of family-based care. Paradoxically, Ireland now has one of the highest rates of family-based care in the world. A significant part of this chapter is given to an analysis of the context in which the institutional care of children occurred in Ireland to enable professionals to have a better understanding of: what occurred in Irish institutional settings and why; the impact of the institutional experience for people and their families, with a focus on trans-generational issues; the extent to which an emigration experience intersected with ...

Formal Service Provision and the Care of the Elderly at home in Ireland

Formal Service Provision and the Care of the Elderly at home in Ireland
(1993)
Larragy, Joe
Abstract:
Social and demographic trends in Ireland pose the need to develop our system of care for the elderly at home. Currently informal care is the principal source of care for dependent elderly people with institutional care acting as the main alternative, particularly when levels of dependency are high or where informal caring relationships break down or are not possible. Although the past two decades have witnessed the growth of formal community care services for the elderly there is still considerable scope for extending and refining these services and, in particular, for making them more relevant to heavily burdened informal carers. Substitutionality appears to be the governing principle with formal and institutional services tending to step in only when the informal system breaks down. The achievement of greater complementarity between the formal and informal caring systems and the re-focusing of institutional services to provide support for the community care system as a whole are t...

Living in institutional care: Residents' experiences and coping strategies

Living in institutional care: Residents' experiences and coping strategies
(2009)
O'DWYER, CIARA MARY; TIMONEN, VIRPI
Abstract:
Insights into daily living in residential care settings are rare. This article draws on a qualitative dataset (semi-structured interviews and recordings of residents? council meetings) that gives a glimpse of the experiences and coping strategies of (older) people living in residential care. The data highlights the range of unmet needs of the residents, similar to the categories of physiological, safety, love, esteem and self-actualisation needs in Maslow?s hierarchy of needs theory. Our analysis indicates that `higher? and `lower? needs are closely inter-twined and mutually reinforcing and should therefore be accorded equal emphasis by professionals (including social workers) employed within residential care settings.

Bullying and peer violence among children and adolescents in residential care settings: a review of the literature
(2017)
Mazzone, Angela; Nocentini, Annalaura; Menesini, Ersilia
Abstract:
The present paper offers a review of the phenomena of bullying and peer violence among children and adolescents living in residential care settings (RCS). The review was conducted on four databases (Scopus, Web of Science, PsycINFO and ERIC). Findings of the 31 full-text papers included in the present work showed that bullying and peer violence involve various forms of direct and indirect attacks. While bullying in RCS involves severe and repeated aggressive actions, peer violence seems to be characterized by distinct levels of severity; i.e., low-level attacks are infrequent and isolated, whereas high level attacks may be severe and frequent. Several individual factors, such as age, gender, and length of stay in RCS were found to be associated with both bullying and peer violence. Contextual risk factors such as activities, structure and facility size, along with a residential peer culture characterized by a high level of hierarchy and a poor emotional bond between children and sta...

Obligations, Ambitions, Calculations: Migrant Care Workers' Negotiation of Work, Career and Family
(2010)
DOYLE, MARTHA; TIMONEN, VIRPI
Abstract:
The literature on migrant care workers has tended to place little emphasis on themultiple relationships thatmigrant carers formwith care recipients, employers/managers and work colleagues. This article makes a contribution to this emerging field, drawing on data from qualitative interviews carried out with 40 migrant care workers employed in the institutional and domiciliary care sectors in Dublin, Ireland. While the analysis revealed generally positive carer?care recipient relationships, significant racial and cultural tensions were evident within the vertical and especially the horizontal relationships in the care workplace. The article argues that these findings highlight the need for additional research on the relationships formed in the long-term care sector and further theorizing on the meaning and importance of the affective components of care work within increasingly commodified care markets.

From the workhouse to the home. The historical origins and development of domiciliary care services for older people in Ireland
(2008)
TIMONEN, VIRPI; DOYLE, MARTHA
Abstract:
Purpose: Care of older persons in their own homes has in recent years received much attention in Ireland. The proponents of domiciliary care draw on both economic and quality of life arguments, many of which are identifiable in policy documents since the 1950s. However, little detailed analysis of the evolution of the formal care services for older persons, and the shift in emphasis from institutional to domiciliary care, has been presented. Methodology/approach: Using archival, administrative and policy sources, we traced the changing nature of formal care policies in Ireland, and analysed changes in key organising principles and features, including subsidiarity, the role of the Church and the basis of entitlements (residual vs. universal). Findings: The first type of formal care to emerge was institutional, and did not adhere to the subsidiarity principle as it was mostly delivered by the State. Subsidiarity came to the fore more clearly with the establishment of the earliest hom...

The Psychological Effects in Adulthood of Institutional Living. Report prepared for the Commission to Inquire into Child Abuse (CICA)
(2009)
Carr, Alan
Abstract:
The present report describes a research project which was commissioned by the Commission to Inquire into Child Abuse (hereafter referred to as CICA). In 2005 and 2006 247 adult survivors of institutional abuse in industrial and reformatory schools recruited through CICA were interviewed. Other witnesses to the Commission who reported institutional abuse in other institutions and out-of-home care settings were not included in this study. There were approximately equal numbers of men and women who were about 60 years of age, and who had entered institutions run by nuns or religious brothers due to family adversity or petty criminality

The role of carer stress in acute and long-term care utilisation by community-dwelling older people

The role of carer stress in acute and long-term care utilisation by community-dwelling older people
(2017)
Donnelly, Nora-Ann
Abstract:
<p><strong>Background: </strong>In examining the sustainability of homecare, gerontological researchers have increasingly recognised how stressful caregiving can be. Indeed, several researchers have postulated that carer stress could increase the risk of institutional care utilisation by care recipients. However, this contention has not been critically analysed. Therefore, this thesis asks to what extent, if any, carer stress influences institutional care utilisation by community-dwelling older people.</p> <p><strong>Methods:</strong> A mixed methods approach was adopted. Study 1 systematically reviewed and meta-analysed the strength of the effect of carer stress on subsequent institutionalisation of community-dwelling older people. Study 2 qualitatively analysed healthcare professionals’ (n=22) and carers’ (n=16) perceptions of how carer stress and health system factors may influence long-term care (LTC) admissions. Study 3 compared differe...

Secrets and lies: an exploration of the role of identity, culture and communication in the policy process relating to the provision of protection and care for vulnerable children in the Irish Free State and Republic 1923-1974
(2002)
Keating, Anthony
Abstract:
This thesis sets out to explore the linkages between communication policy in Ireland and the wider social, political and economic factors in the development of social policy in relation to the nation’s most vulnerable children, namely its marginalized children in institutional care. It also sets out to test the thesis that the complex interactions of these factors in a post-colonial state encouraged public authorities to avoid confronting the daily realities of life in the institutions concerned, and that it also involved a systemic suppression of communication in order to avoid public embarrassment for the state, which would otherwise been compelled to act to correct an abusive institutional system. This in turn, it will be argued, was closely related to the need to avoid disturbing a delicately-balanced structure of power relationships, and to preserve the powerful myth of the state’s historic anti-materialist mission. This sense of mission was based in no small part on the percep...

A case study analysis of Person-Centred-Planning for people with intellectual disability following their transfer from institutional care. [Ph.D. thesis] / by Donal Fitzsimsons
(2012)
Fitzsimons, Donal
Abstract:
Person centred planning (PCP) has an essential part to play in ensuring self determination for the lives of people with intellectual disability. It is typically taken as an indicator to the quality of services and it is regarded as especially important when considering its effectiveness in impacting on the lives of people with intellectual disability. Robertson’s et al (2005) six indices of PCP efficacy of social networks, community involvement, scheduled day services, contact with friends, contact with family and choice are regarded as a standard measure. This research examined the PCP process and its impact on the reality of the life of the person with intellectual disability. It considered the understanding of various stakeholders in the PCP process and investigated whether PCP brings added value to the lives of people with intellectual disability in community settings. Finally, it explored the relationship between the theory, policy, and outcomes of PCP for ongoing practice. Usi...

<p>BACKGROUND: Despite significant differences in terms of medical training and health care context, the phenomenon of medical students' declining interest in family medicine has been well documented in North America and in many other developed countries as well. As part of a research program on family physicians' professional identity formation initiated in 2007, the purpose of the present investigation is to examine in-depth how family physicians construct their professional image in academic contexts; in other words, this study will allow us to identify and understand the processes whereby family physicians with an academic appointment seek to control the ideas others form about them as a professional group, i.e. impression management.</p> <p>METHODS/DESIGN: The methodology consists of a multiple case study ...

Bringing the family in through the back door: the stealthy expansion of family care in Asian and European long-term care policy
(2018)
Kodate, Naonori; Timonen, Virpi
Abstract:
In the era of global ageing, amid political concerns about increasing care needs and long-term sustainability of current care regimes, most high-income economies are seeking to minimise the use of institutional care and to expand formal home care for their older populations. In long-term care reforms, concerns about public funding, formal providers and the paid care workforce are foremost. However, an integral yet hidden part of all these reforms is the stealthily growing role of family carers. This article aims to identify and spell out how developments in formal home care bring about different modes of increasing, encouraging and necessitating family care inputs, across welfare states. Using secondary sources, three different modes were identified, and the article outlines the logic of each mechanism, drawing on illustrative examples of policy dynamics in both European and Asian countries. Family care inputs have increased through policy changes that are not explicitly or primaril...

Health Services Resource Centre briefing paper no 4 on some recent trends in local service delivery in community care
(1989)
Department of Health (DoH). Health Services Resource Centre; O'Sullivan, Tim
Abstract:
Community care is both a concept which is much debated and an umbrella term for a wide range of services. Hunter and Judge (1988) argue that the community care concept implies a shift in the balance of care from institutions to community facilities and from health to social services. Key features of community care include a firm focus on the local community and on integration of the work of multidisciplinary teams which serve that community. Major target groups for community care policy include the elderly, the mentally handicapped and the mentally ill . Hunter and Judge point to a lack of clarity about community care and its objectives , which are variously defined as: discharging people from long stay hospitals; preventing admissions to hospitals; unblocking acute beds; cost containment; developing new services; providing domiciliary rather than residential care. A recent official British definition of community care objectives cited by Griffiths (1988) , which focused on non-inst...

Toward an Integrative Theory of Care: Formal and Informal Intersections

Toward an Integrative Theory of Care: Formal and Informal Intersections
(2009)
TIMONEN, VIRPI
Abstract:
Researchers have categorized the complex phenomenon of care into two distinct types: formal and informal. According to this accepted dichotomy, informal care is generally provided by untrained social network members (family or friends), usually in the absence of any monetary compensation (Walker, Pratt, & Eddy, 1995). Paid, professionally trained care workers, on the other hand, typically provide formal care. This two-dimensional classification of care does not adequately capture, however, the full spectrum of caregiving scenarios. Some formal caregivers work in institutions, others in home or community settings. Some receive their pay within the framework of taxes and social security, others as cash in hand. Most informal care takes place in the home of the care recipient or caregiver. However, informal caregivers can also play an important role in institutional long-term care settings where they offer companionship, emotional support, and assistance with daily activities (e.g....

The Different Faces of Care Work: Understanding the Experiences of the Multi-Cultural Care Workforce
(2009)
TIMONEN, VIRPI; DOYLE, MARTHA
Abstract:
An increased demand for long-term care services coupled with the decreased availability of informal (family) carers in many industrialised countries has led to the employment of growing numbers of `migrant care workers ?. Little is known about this heterogeneous group or of their experience of employment in longterm care. Providing an important insight into a hitherto little researched and poorly understood topic, this article presents the findings of a qualitative study in Ireland that sought greater understanding of migrant carers? experience of care work and of the intra-group differences among them. The findings suggest that some members of the long-term care workforce are more likely to confront obstacles and discrimination than others. The data indicate that the experiences of European, South Asian and African carers are significantly different and that relationships may exist between carers? region of origin and their experience of care work, employment mobility and long-term...

Abstract:
THESIS 9811
Person centred planning (PCP) has an essential part to play in ensuring self determination for the lives of people with intellectual disability. It is typically taken as an indicator to the quality of services and it is regarded as especially important when considering its effectiveness in impacting on the lives of people with intellectual disability. Robertson?s et al (2005) six indices of PCP efficacy of social networks, community involvement, scheduled day services, contact with friends, contact with family and choice are regarded as a standard measure. This research examined the PCP process and its impact on the reality of the life of the person with intellectual disability. It considered the understanding of various stakeholders in the PCP process and investigated whether PCP brings added value to the lives of people with intellectual disability in community settings. Finally, it explored the relationship between the theory, policy, and outcomes of PCP for ongoi...

Residential child care workers: Relationship based practice in a culture of fear

Brown, Teresa; Winter, Karen; Carr, Nicola
Abstract:
Reflecting developments in‘out of home care’nationally and internationally (Whittaker, Valle, & Holmes, 2015), the residential child caresector in the Republic of Ireland has been (and remains) a contested space in terms of its purpose, role and function with changes bothreflecting and being shaped by the broader social, cultural and politicalcontext (Fenton, 2015; Gilligan, 2009). Defined as‘a physical setting inwhich children and young people are offered care: physical nurturing;social learning opportunities; the promotion of health and wellbeingand specialized behaviour training’(Fulcher, 2001, p. 418); residentialchild care in the Republic of Ireland currently caters for about 5% ofthe total population in care. It is well documented (Gilligan, 2009;Raftery & O'Sullivan, 1999) that, historically in the Republic of Ireland,the role of the Church was pivotal with religious orders being largelyleft to their own devices in the delivery of institutional care to children.U...

The economics and financing of long term care of the elderly in Ireland.
(1994)
O'Shea, Eamon; Hughes, Jenny
Abstract:
The importance of addressing the issues relating to the economics and financing of long-term care for older people in Ireland cannot be over emphasised. This is because we are approaching a period when the numbers of old people are expected to increase significantly and the numbers of the very old will grow quite dramatically. For service providers this means that every effort must be made to ensure that a sufficient provision of high quality institutional care is available for those old people who require such care. More importantly perhaps, it means that adequate long-term care for the elderly in the community, as advocated by The Years Ahead report, should begin to materialise more effectively than has been the case since the publication of that report. In particular, we believe that it is short-sighted not to ensure much greater support to informal carers who provide the greater part of long-term care in the community. The numbers of carers may be at an historically high level a...

Collective bargaining and unpaid care as social security risk – an EU perspective

Collective bargaining and unpaid care as social security risk – an EU perspective
(2020)
Schiek, Dagmar
Abstract:
This article contributes to the debate on how collective agreements can enhance social security from the perspective of unpaid care work. It defines the risk of giving up employment in favour of unpaid care as a social security risk (the care risk). It analyses how collective agreements in the EU can address this risk without compromising gender equality. The analysis is conducted with a focus on analysing the risks emerging from European Union law on a regulatory practice yet to emerge: the inclusion of institutional (child) care provisions in collective agreements. The article concludes that it is disruptive for innovative collective bargaining strategies if interpreted from a standpoint focusing merely on economic integration.

Stroke clinical care programme: model of care

Stroke clinical care programme: model of care
(2012)
HSE Quality and Clinical Care Directorate
Abstract:
In recent years new techniques and strategies for improving the care of people with stroke have emerged. For example, the benefits of organised clinical services for stroke care have been clearly established. Hospital-based Stroke Units for acute and initial rehabilitation of patients with stroke and TIA are associated with a reduction in death and institutional care of around 20%, with one additional patient returned to community living for every 20 patients treated. Following emergency admission to hospital with stroke, administration of ‘clot-busting’ thrombolysis therapy can reverse or substantially reduce disability in one-third of patients treated within 90 minutes of stroke onset. However, strict administration guidelines mean that only 8-15% of confirmed ischaemic stroke patients are eligible for such treatment. Because of the potential for catastrophic brain haemorrhage associated with thrombolysis given inappropriately and the brief time-window for treatment, substantial o...

Delivery of psychiatric care to those mentally ill in Ireland - proposals for change
(1988)
Walsh, Dermot
Abstract:
A working group was set up by the Minister for Health, Mrs Eileen Desmond TD in October 1981 "to examine the main components, both institutional and community, of the psychiatric services, to assess the existing services, to clarify their objectives and to draw up planning guidelines for future development of the service with due regard to cost implications, to carry out such studies and to take part in such consultations as are necessary to assist this examination". In December 1984 the group's report entitled "Psychiatric Services - Planning for the Future" was presented to the Minister for Health, Barry Desmond TD. It will be the purpose of this paper briefly to describe the historical background leading to the setting up of the study group and to synthesise its main recommendations and the constraints on their implementation.

The role and future development of nursing homes in Ireland.

O'Shea, Eamon; Donnison, David; Larragy, Joe; Blackwell, John; Marshall, Mary
Abstract:
This study on the role and future development of nursing homes in Ireland is a further contribution by the National Council for the Elderly to the series of studies on institutional care services for the elderly begun by its predecessor, the National Council for the Aged. Taking the Community as its focus, the Council's 1985 study, Institutional Care of the Elderly in Ireland established the context in which the general hospital and other hospital and institutional care services can best support the community caring network in achieving its full potential. The role of assessment and the concept of the community hospital were outlined and the issues of registration and funding of nursing homes were addressed. Two studies followed, Nursing Homes in the Republic of Ireland: A Study of the Private and Voluntary Sector and "It's Our Home": The Quality of Life in Private and Voluntary Nursing Homes, in 1986. These studies established the first profile of the structure ...
