Preventing suicide
a resource at work
|
Suicides,
and the mental health problems that give rise to them, exact an enormous toll
on worker productivity and well being.
For every worker that commits suicide, another 10-20 will make a
serious attempt. Suicide accounts for
approximately 8% of all working days lost due to death. Although not every
suicide or suicide attempt can be prevented,
research show that employers can take important steps to reduce teh
frequency of worker suicide.

Population
ageing is a global phenomenon that has characterised demographic trends
during the 20th and 21st century. The rapid growth in the proportion of older
adults in the population, and resultant increase in the incidence of
age-related cognitive decline, dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, brings
significant social, economic and healthcare challenges.

A scoping review of family
experience and need during end

Internationally there has been
increasing attention placed
on improving end of life care as evidenced
by the many
international health initiatives
(National Gold Standard
Framework 2011, Kaiser Health
2013, New South Wales
Ministry & Health 2013).
Underpinning many of these
policy drives is the concern for
increased patient choice
and a more collaborative approach
involving the patient
and healthcare providers when
making decisions about
care at end of life.

Developing the Pieta House Suicide Intervention Model: a quasi-experimental, repeated measures design |
While
most crisis intervention models adhere to a generalised theoretical
framework, the lack of clarity around how these should be enacted has
resulted in a proliferation of models, most of which have little to no
empirical support. The primary aim of this research was to propose a suicide
intervention model that would resolve the client’s suicidal crisis.

Background Currently, diabetes

global risks for mortality. Among the modifiable factors, careful dietary
practice is one of the essential elements for the control of NCDs, since these

Care

account of ten investigations into

care of older people makes
difficult
reading. For example ‘Hospital
staff at
Ealing Hospital NHS Trust left Mr
J

denying
him the chance to be with his wife

improving
clinical governance will not
improve

Despite an increasing literature on
professional nurses’ job satisfaction, job satisfaction by nonprofessional nursing
care providers and, in particular, in residential long-term care facilities,
is sparsely described. The purpose of this study was to systematically review
the evidence on which factors (individual and organizational) are associated
with job satisfaction among care aides, nurse aides, and nursing assistants,
who provide the majority of direct resident care, in residential long-term
