Facilitating independence: The benefits of a post-diagnostic support project for people with dementia.
No full textProviding support in the form of information, advice and access to services or social events is promoted as beneficial for people newly diagnosed with dementia and their families. This paper reports on key findings from an evaluation of a post-diagnostic support pilot project in Scotland addressing local service gaps, namely information provision, emotional and practical support and maintaining community links. Twenty-seven participants (14 people newly diagnosed with dementia and 13 family carers) were interviewed at two time points: T1 shortly after joining the pilot project and T2 approximately six months later, to ascertain their views on existing services and the support offered by the pilot project. A comparative thematic analysis revealed that the project facilitated increased independence (associated with increased motivation and self-confidence) of people with dementia. The project illustrates what can be achieved if resources are targeted at providing individualised post-diagnostic support, particularly where there are service delivery gaps
Comparing consortial repositories: a model-driven analysis
No full textThis study aims to provide a comparative assessment of different repository consortia as a reference to inform future work in the area. A review of the literature was used to identify repository consortia, and their features were compared. Three models of consortial repositories were derived from this comparison, based on their structure and aims. The consortial models were based around either: creating a shared repository for the members, developing a repository software platform or creating a metadata harvesting service to aggregate content. Using case studies of each type of repository consortium, each model was assessed in terms of its particular strengths and weaknesses. These strengths were then compared across the models to enable those considering a consortial repository project to assess which model, or combination of models, would best address their needs and to aid in project planning

The consolidation of circular project dynamics in an evaluation Tool: to help members of project teams to learn about the integration of project dynamics for circularity in construction projects to stimulate the realization of circular ambitions
No full textA tool that contributes to solving the cultural barrier of the lack of knowlegde about circularity in conventional members of project teams. Using three case studies an evaluation tool is developed. With gathering circular project dynamics, validating them and integrating them into the evaluation tool. The tool intends to help members of project teams to learn about the integration of project dynamics for circularity in construction projects to stimulate the realization of circular ambitions. But also intends to stimulate organizational level learning to benefit the transition towards circular economy.Architecture, Urbanism and Building Sciences | Management in the Built Environmen
The pathogen construct in risk analysis
No full textProject risk analysis has traditionally emphasized the analysis of external threats. Here we argue that internal decisions and structures are more fundamental, because they determine which external events pose risks to project management. A “pathogen” metaphor is used to understand these internal sources of risk, in an analysis of failure in two sets of projects that lie on the border between the private and public sectors. This analysis goes beyond earlier work on organizational pathogens by treating them as subjective interpretations, not objective conditions. The study suggests that the more insidious risks to which a project is exposed involve different project members holding contradictory beliefs about what is pathogenic and what is protective

Pilot Implementation of a Low-Literacy Zone Tool for Heart Failure Self-Management
No full textBackground: Heart failure (HF) affects 6.5 million Americans, with one million hospitalizations, a 21.9% readmission rate, and $30 billion in healthcare costs. Self-care support tools with color-coded zones (green = stable; yellow = caution; red = take action) can help patients recognize and respond to HF symptoms and reduce readmissions and costs. Studies are lacking on zone tools' impact on HF self-care and quality of life (QoL). Purpose: The purpose of this evidence-based practice project was to test the effect of a low-literacy zone tool for HF self-management on self-care and quality of life. Methods: The author led an inter-disciplinary palliative care (PC) team in adapting an existing green-yellow-red zone tool for HF self-management. Participants were randomly assigned to a control group receiving usual care or an intervention group receiving the zone tool plus usual care. HF self-care and HF-related quality of life were measured respectively with the Self-Care of Heart Failure Index (SCHFI) and the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ-12), at baseline and at 30 and 60 days. Results: Due to the limited sample size, the findings of this pilot project were inconclusive regarding the effect of the HF zone tool on the outcomes of interest. Implications for Practice: This EBP pilot project demonstrated the feasibility of developing and implementing a zone tool for HF self-management for patients with advanced HF in a home-based palliative care (PC) program. Further research is needed with larger samples to assess zone tools' effect on self-care and quality of life.https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.446660
