Resum
Introduction: Care models used in long-term care institutions for the older population have been characterized for their efficiency in meeting basic health and hygienic needs. Notwithstanding, residences that follow such model jeopardize older adult’s upper level needs (emotional, self-esteem, self-efficacy) and at the same time lead their professional caregivers down the path of burnout.
Objective: The present thesis proposes an evidence-based intervention on the fundamentals of empowerment and client-engagement for long-term care institutions that care for older adults. The intervention has the purpose of contributing in the transformation of the care culture to a more humanized and dignifying one.
Methods: The Power of Empowering Program (PEP) provides a total of 12 sessions to train older adults and professional caregivers in the essential aspects of empowering care. It will be delivered to a sample of 40 participants, who will be assessed pre- and posttest on empowerment levels, degree of client engagement, quality of life, and burnout syndrome.
Results: At the end of the program it is expected that both groups accomplish a set of goals. On the one hand, it is hypothesized that older adults will increase their feelings of empowerment and client-engagement, as well as the perspective of quality of life. On the other hand, professional it is predicted that professional caregivers will increase client-engagement abilities and reduce burnout symptoms.
Conclusions: The Power of Empowering Program looks forward to filling an essential gap in long-term care for the older population. The program aspires to be widely disseminated and to serve as an example for psychogerontologist and health care professionals interested in contributing to the cultural transformation of caring for the older people by the viewpoint of person-centered care.
