Use of a hearing assistance device in nursing homes.

An inexpensive hearing assistance device can improve communication with nursing home residents. In patients who do not have prescribed hearing aids or who are being audiologically evaluated, voice amplification with such a device facilitates initial assessment as well as ongoing care. Such devices are available at local consumer outlets for under $30, making them available to persons who are unable to afford more sophisticated models.

Administrative patterns in curriculum-clinic interactions.

A questionnaire was sent to directors of occupational therapy curricula and faculty members, to directors of occupational therapy clinics and clinicians, to deans of medical schools, and to hospital administrators in order to determine the professional and administrative relationships between occupational therapy academic programs and clinical programs. Results of the survey, analyzed by groups, indicated that informal relationships were prevalent, whereas other relationships were poorly delineated. Strengths and weaknesses of formal and informal relationships are presented. Finally, a model for interaction is proposed.

An assessment of the feeding behaviors of the institutionalized elderly.

Data obtained from observing the residents of three long-term care facilities showed that the majority required some assistance in feeding. The facilities differed in the percentage of residents needing help and in the physical and attitudinal support given for self-feeding. Regardless of level of independence in feeding, most residents received adequate food intake. Physical problems, which posed a greater handicap to self-feeding than mental problems, were of four types: improper positioning, dysphagia, upper extremity dysfunctions, and blindness.
