Combined nasal intermittent positive-pressure ventilation and rocking bed in chronic respiratory insufficiency. Nocturnal ventilatory support of a disabled person at home.

The use of intermittent positive-pressure ventilation via nasal mask with a rocking bed provided the necessary ventilatory support for a person with quadriplegia living at home. This option was required to maintain an independent life-style of choice. The combination of techniques and the linkage of devices demonstrated an effective use of simple available technology for respiratory care at home and the adaptation of the respiratory prescription to the total needs of each person: medical, social, and financial. The further use of nasal mask ventilation in selected cases is encouraged by clinical research protocol.

System flexibility in the rehabilitation process of mentally disabled persons in a hostel that bridges between the hospital and the community.

BACKGROUND: Deinstitutionalization and community mental health services have become the focus of mental health care in the United States, Italy and England, and now in Israel. METHODS: Tirat Carmel MHC developed an intervention model of organizational change implemented in a rehabilitation hostel. It is an interim service based on graduated transition from maintenance care to a transitional Half-way House, followed by a Transitional Living Skills Center oriented for independent community living. RESULTS: Of 205 rehabilitees who resided in the hostel since the beginning of the project, 138 were discharged to community residential settings: 67 patients were discharged to reinforced community hostels; 27 to sheltered housing and 23 to independent residential quarters; 7 patients were discharged to comprehensive hostels, 3 to old-age homes and 11 returned home to their families. In terms of employment, 79 were placed in sheltered employment facilities, 24 work in the open market and 3 returned to school; 22 work in therapeutic occupational settings and 10 patients discharged to comprehensive hostels and old-age homes are engaged in sheltered employment programs in those settings. CONCLUSION: The system flexibility model and the rehabilitation processes anchored in normalization supported the relocation of hospitalized psychiatric patients to community-based settings and enabled the rehabilitees to cope with readjustment to community life.

[Human dignity and human rights of severely disabled persons. On the significance of the current "quality of life discussion" for treatment and care of elderly incurable patients].

Concurrent with a nursing shortage and the increasing indigent requiring care in Germany preliminary discussions are emerging about quality of life and the rights of this socioeconomic group. This contribution shows which effects such a discussion may have on the care of a most defenseless segment of our society. It counters those who deny these rights and opposes their view of human dignity, which is characterized by categories of self-consciousness and intellectual ability. According to the christian view, dignity is a transcendental state and cannot be categorized as an empirical matter by virtue of its presence or absence. Exaggerated ideals of health have overshadowed realities of incurable disease, lingering illness, and dying, and is easily leading us to discount such people as being "unworthy to live". According to the view presented nursing carers are valued.

Our task in presenting this paper is to ask a similar question: "Would my long-term, mentally ill relative have an appropriate community residential placement in Hawaii?"
