This document outlines a study examining how to effectively break bad news to people with learning disabilities. Through interviews and focus groups with people with learning disabilities, family members, and healthcare professionals, the study found that existing models of breaking bad news do not work well for those with learning disabilities. The study identified that breaking bad news is not a singular event but a ongoing process, involves multiple people supporting the individual's understanding over time, and depends on the person's unique intellectual capacity and support system. The study aims to develop a new model for breaking bad news that meets the needs of those with learning disabilities.Ann Wyatt-What Does Comfort Look Like in the Nursing Home Setting?

This document summarizes a study on the experiences of informal carers providing care for older adults at home. The study found that carers experienced feeling tied down and having no time for themselves. While caregiving was also seen as a duty, carers felt they wouldn't want it any other way and would continue caring as long as needed. Key challenges for carers included being the main provider of care, losing their relationship with the care recipient, and health issues. The conclusion calls for more support systems for informal carers to help them in their vital role and improve their quality of life.Peter Bewert & Tracey Garratt, Salvation Army -Inspiring hope in mental illness

This document discusses strategies for communicating with individuals who have Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia. It explains that as the disease progresses, people with dementia experience changes in their ability to communicate verbally and their primary methods of communication. In the early stages, it is important to speak directly to the individual, keep sentences clear and allow time for responses. In the middle stages, it recommends using short sentences, speaking slowly, minimizing distractions and communicating through visual cues. For the late stages, the document notes that communication is reduced but sensory connections like touch and music can still be meaningful.Communication & Dementia Responding Positively to Alzheimer's Behaviors

Claire M. Henry has over 16 years of experience developing Alzheimer's care units and wants to pursue a doctorate to better educate caregivers of low-income individuals with dementia. Her goal is to create training modules that identify the needs of underprivileged caregivers, which often include a lack of diagnosis, limited medical care, and few support systems. With dementia cases rising worldwide, especially in low-to-middle income countries, there is a need for more awareness and policies to assist these caregivers through education of health professionals.Save the date ceu
