No full textCan a Robotic Seal Called PARO Manage Chronic Pain in People with Dementia Living in Nursing Homes?
No full textObjective: To evaluate the effect of interaction with a robotic seal (PARO) for pain management in nursing home residents living with dementia.
Methods: Registered with the Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry (ACTRN 12618000082202), a pilot randomized controlled trial followed by semi-structured interviews were conducted between January 2018 and January 2019. Forty-three residents aged ?65 years living with dementia and chronic pain were recruited from three nursing homes in Australia. Participants were randomized to either a PARO group (individual, non-facilitated, 30-minute sessions, five days per week for six weeks) or a usual care group using a computer-generated random number. Observational pain behaviors were rated by researchers using the Pain Assessment in Advanced Dementia (PAINAD) scale and staff-rated pain levels were measured by the numeric rating scale. Medications regularly prescribed and as needed were quantified by the Medication Quantification Scale-III (MQS-III). Generalized estimating equation model and thematic analysis were used to analyze the data.
Results: Participants in the PARO group had significantly lowered level of observed pain (-0.514, 95% confidence interval [CI] -0.774 to -0.254, p<0.001) and used fewer PRN medications (-1.175, 95% CI - 2.205 to -0.145, p=0.025) than those in usual care after controlling for age, gender, cognitive function and medications at baseline. There were no significant differences in staff-rated pain levels and regularly scheduled medications between the two groups. Interviews also indicated that the PARO intervention may reduce the pain experience through distraction and reminiscence of previous positive memories. Limitations of weight, voice and characteristics of PARO were identified.
Conclusions and Implications: PARO shows promise in reducing pain and medications for nursing home residents living with dementia and chronic pain. This intervention might be incorporated into daily practice as an alternative to manage pain in people with dementia. Care staff need to balance the benefits and limitations of incorporating social robots into their clinical practice and residents’ individualized preferences need to be considered. Larger randomized controlled trials with longer time frames are warranted to further test the use of PARO in long-term care settings.No Full Tex
Implementing PainChek and PARO to Support Pain Assessment and Management in Residents with Dementia: A Qualitative Study
No full textBACKGROUND: Pain is a common problem but often undiagnosed and untreated in people with dementia.AIMS: This study explored the experiences of residents with dementia, family, andformal carers with (1) pain assessment and management for residents with dementia; (2) the use of the PainChek app for pain assessment, and (3) the use of a social robot PARO for pain management in residents with dementia.DESIGN: A qualitative study.SETTINGS/PARTICIPANTS: Interviews were conducted with 13 residents withdementia, three family members, and 18 formal carers from a residential aged carefacility.METHOD: Residents with dementia interacted with PARO for 15 mins, five days perweek for three weeks. The PainChek app assessed pain levels before and after eachsession. After three-week intervention, individual interviews were conducted withresidents, family, and formal carers who experienced or observed the use of PainChekapp and PARO for residents. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed, andanalyzed using thematic analysis.RESULTS: Four themes were identified regarding pain in residents with dementia: (1) the impact, challenges and strategies of pain assessment and management; (2) benefits and barriers of using PainChek app to assess pain; (3) benefits of interacting with PARO to manage pain and behavioral symptoms; and (4) implementing PainChek app and PARO to support pain assessment and management in dementia care.CONCLUSIONS: Technology, such as PainChek and PARO, is promising to improve painassessment and reduce pain for people with dementia. Barriers to using technologyinclude limited staff training and the implementation of person-centered care.</p
Interpretaciones históricas y memoria colectiva : paro cívico nacional de 1977 y paro del 21n de 2019.
No full textEste trabajo de grado fue elaborado en la línea de investigación Formación Política y Memoria Social, de la Licenciatura en Ciencias Sociales de la Universidad Pedagógica Nacional de Colombia con el objetivo de identificar las interpretaciones del Paro Cívico Nacional de 1977 y su reapropiación en el paro del 21 de noviembre de 2019, a partir de los aportes de la memoria histórica. Además de este propósito, el trabajo construyó y desarrolló una propuesta para la enseñanza de la historia reciente en las ciencias sociales en el escenario escolar, con el fin de discutir las particularidades de los paros en relación con la experiencia familiar y barrial de los estudiantes en el marco de los movimientos sociales y sus repertorios de protesta.Licenciado en Ciencias SocialesPregrad
El paro nacional camionero del 2016 : un estudio de caso sobre el impacto en precios
No full textEl paro camionero ocurrido en Colombia durante el 2016 ha sido catalogado como uno de los más largos de la historia de Colombia, en el cual durante 46 días la mayor parte de los transportadores suspendieron actividades. Este texto realiza un análisis de las noticias de prensa regionales y nacionales respecto a los efectos de este paro sobre la economía nacional, el cual es contrastado con el impacto real en los precios que tuvo el paro en las diferentes regiones. En este sentido se realizó una evaluación estadística de los efectos del paro sobre la canasta de alimentos, en la cual, dada la evidencia de tipo documental y cuantitativa de este caso de estudio, se puede encuentra que los efectos del paro en precios afectaron en mayor medida a la población más vulnerable del país en ciudades pequeñas e intermedias con una mayor dependencia de otras regiones productoras respecto a alimentos de consumo popular. Por otra parte, se encuentra que en los resultados encontrados los pequeños productores de estos agrícolas perecederos sufrieron un impacto mayor en los efectos del paro. Estos dos resultados contrastan notablemente con los debates de prensa que se escriben durante el paro y su negociación, pues no suelen ser los argumentos centrales de la discusión

Emotional robots: principles and practice with PARO in Denmark, Germany and the UK
No full textAs societies age there will be a significant increase of those over 80 and a predicted increase in people with dementia. We know that loneliness increases with old age, and those living with dementia are at risk of social isolation. Also opportunities for sensory stimulation and engagement in pleasurable activities are reduced in old age. The question is what technologies can be used to extend the range of available interventions that can enhance well-being. Emotional robots have been developed for activity and therapeutic purposes. This article explores experiences of the emotional robot PARO in Denmark, Germany and UK, and provides principles of this robot as an activity or activity with a therapeutic purpose
