“Like A Rock”: Tools for building resilience to moral distress Richard Lavoie MB-PHEN, Manager of Ethics Projects and Education, Manitoba Provincial Health Ethics Network

Description: Long term care providers commonly find themselves in situations that compromise their moral integrity as individuals and as professionals. In response to these situations, many will experience moral distress and its overwhelming negative effects. The pain/ anguish affecting the mind, body or relationships in response to a situation in which one is aware of a moral problem, acknowledges moral responsibility, and makes a moral judgment about the correct action; however, as a result of real or perceived constraints, participates in perceived moral wrong doing. Many Health Care Professionals do not recognize or know how to respond to morally challenging situations. This session is intended to build capacity for interpersonal management of moral distress. Although the frequency of distressing events may not change, the intensity in which they are felt can be reduced. We can-not eradicate moral distress from health care, but can work to minimize its negative emotional, psychological and physiological impacts. Contributory effects of these experiences lead many to withdraw from patient care and lose interest in their work/career. Inevitably,

Emotional Labour in Residential Settings: Implications for Staff Support Dr. Laura Funk, University of Manitoba

Sheryl Peters, ESPE Consulting Description: Emotional labour is relatively unexplored within care for older persons within institutional settings despite implications for burnout, detachment, and care quality. In this study we examined how twenty-six paid care workers in one residential and palliative care facility manage their own and others’ emotions. A qualitative interview design was used and two researchers collaboratively analyzed the transcripts. Both health care aides (HCAs) and nurses (RNs) spoke about making patients and families feel cared about and managing their distress, contributing to therapeutic, organizational and instrumental goals. This included, as examples: protecting patients from feeling like a burden; managing patient and family anger related to concerns about care quality; and helping them accept the dying process. Participants also described managing their personal emotional reactions to difficult situations (e.g., demanding or aggressive behaviours, death, and moral distress). The need for, and type of, emotional labour were in part influenced by unit setting, occupational role, and broader contexts (e.g., workloads, culture of care). Findings will be discussed with a focus on the development of practical recommendations for workplace support, training and mentoring in emotional labour. About the Presenter: Dr. Laura Funk is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology, University of Manitoba. She is interested in issues of paid and unpaid care work for older persons, drawing on the sociology of care, health, and aging. In her current program of research funded by the Manitoba Health Research Council, she seeks to better understand how features of systems and organizations (e.g., policies, procedures, pathways) shape family caregiver wellbeing. Dr. Funk has training and experience in both quantitative and qualitative methods, including degrees from the University of British Columbia and University of Victoria, and a Post-Doctoral Fellowship from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research. Sheryl Peters is a researcher who operates Espe Consulting in Winnipeg, MB. Her research has centred on women’s health and social issues. She has previously served as a researcher at Prairie Women’s Health Centre of Excellence and as an adjunct instructor at University of Manitoba and University of Winnipeg.

particular risk of sleep problems, and present a range of research-based non-drug sleep interventions that can be implemented in most LTC facilities. About the Presenter: Dr. Brown is a full time tenured faculty member at the University of Alberta.

9:05am – 10:00am

Closing the Care Gap in Osteoporosis Pat McCarthy-Briggs, BSc, RD, MHEd

Description: Experiencing a fragility (or low-trauma) fracture is a “red flag” for osteoporosis and indicates risk for further fractures. Each year in Manitoba there are approximately 1000 osteoporosis-related hip fractures in persons age 60 and over - with annual direct costs exceeding 10 million dollars. This increases to over $30 million if additional osteoporotic fractures require care. Approximately 20% of women and 30% of men who suffer a hip fracture die within 12 months; long-term pain and disability, fear of falling, lifestyle changes, isolation and an increased burden on caregivers also follow osteoporotic fractures. Despite these human and economic costs, fewer than 20% of patients with fragility fractures receive appropriate testing and/or anti-osteoporosis treatment post fracture… this is called a “care gap”. This session will review Osteoporosis Canada’s Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Osteoporosis which are designed to close this care gap. About the Presenter: Pat is a Registered Dietician and holds a Masters Degree in Health Education. In the early 1980’s Pat was involved in the formation of the Manitoba Chapter of Osteoporosis Canada. In that capacity she coordinated education programs for health professionals and delivered information to consumers. As demand for consumer information grew, Pat recruited and trained health professionals who, as volunteers, helped meet the growing consumer need for information about osteoporosis. This early volunteer training in Manitoba was the model for the program now used to educate volunteers across the country. Pat was a long time board member with the Manitoba Chapter, a member of the National Education Committee and continues to participate in training volunteers to deliver education programs in Manitoba. Pat works as a consultant dietitian and is a frequent speaker at Osteoporosis Canada, Manitoba events.

These individuals mask their emotions while they suffer in silence. For years, this was Allan. Silence will always be the enemy of recovery. Our voice is our greatest tool, but where is the incentive to talk if people fear that they will be met with judgment? Allan’s captivating message brings people out from the shadows and

Description: The concept of design, colour, materials and light having an effect on a person’s physical and mental health is not a new one. It dates back to the ancient Chinese discipline of feng shui which studies how to balance the energies in a given space to assure health and good fortune for its inhabitants. Through the ever-evolving and expanding field of healthcare-related research, it’s no surprise that a growing number of healthcare professionals are becoming interested in how our physical environments can directly affect a person’s wellness. This one-hour seminar explores both general healthcare and long-term care settings and examines how the design of a space can have measureable impacts on the health, safety and well-being of patients, residents and caregivers alike.

Disruptive Vocalizing in Dementia Amanda Adams-Fryatt, RN, MN, NP, PhD Student

Introduced by Silver Partner, Revera Long Term Care Description: Behavioural and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia [BPSD] is an umbrella term that encompasses a collection of behavioural disturbances which include such examples as physical and verbal aggression, depression, and vocally disruptive behaviours. ‘Vocally disruptive behaviours’ is also called “Inappropriate Vocalizing” meaning: vocalizing that is inappropriate to the particular setting. The challenge in treating these behaviours with success impacts staff morale and job satisfaction, contributes to burnout, influences the quality of the interpersonal relationships between staff and dementia sufferer and decreases quality of life. Research on the etiology of disruptive vocalizing demonstrates that people who overvocalize are using the only communication method they have to indicate to caregivers that they have an unmet need and may in fact, not be inappropriate at all. Historically, antipsychotic medication was most often used to manage these behaviours. However, these medications are harmful and should only be used in extreme cases. The first-line treatments are nonpharmacological interventions. However, because pain and depression are two conditions that many nursing home residents experience, the overvocalizing may actually be a distress call that may respond to scheduled analgesia or antidepressant therapy. This presentation will address the challenge of overvocalizing in the nursing home setting. About the Presenter: Amanda has served in a nursing capacity for over 30 years. She has had a diverse career; twenty-five years have been spent working in the hospital setting in a variety of areas such as emergency and intensive care, some community work and teaching. Amanda has worked as a Nurse Practitioner in Long Term Care for over 6 years, where her specialty has become caring for older adults. Amanda holds a nil-appointment at the University of Manitoba. She is presently working on her PhD in Nursing at the University of Manitoba. Her research interest is disruptive vocalizing in the nursing home setting and how it correlates to the presence of depression.

Leading the Charge: Facilitating Change as a Recreation Professional Ron Martyn, MSc

Description: Change in today’s care environment comes from many directions, including regulatory requirements, client needs and consumer expectations, all of which require ongoing flexibility and adaptation. Recreation departments that successfully respond to such changes have one common feature – effective leadership. Too often great programs and strategies fail to realize their full potential in response to change as a result of misdirected leadership. The well-intentioned recreationist with great programming ideas does not automatically ensure program success and effective responses to change. This session focuses on essential leadership tools that every recreationist needs in their work role. For the program manager or supervisor, these are the skills required to inspire others to embrace change in the department. For the staff, the leadership skills help them organize their time and more effectively engage residents. Learning Objectives: 1) Empower and inspire others to realize their full potential 2) Create a positive, stimulating work and living environment 3) Ensure commitment and follow-through About the Presenter: Ron Martyn combines an undergraduate degree in Recreation (therapeutic) from the University of Waterloo, and a master’s degree in Gerontology from The University of North Texas, with over 35 years of experience in the seniors field. In long term care he worked in recreation and administration, following which he owned and operated an assisted living home for 20 years. Ron initiated and coordinated a college post-diploma Gerontology program, and has provided training and consulting services for those serving seniors across Canada. His experience and insight provide real-world solutions in the provision of more successful recreation programs, and in enhancing personal leadership development. As the creator of the web-based software program ActivityPro, Ron brings this depth of knowledge and experience to ensure

that recreation practitioners have access to an affordable, effective and manageable professional documentation tool to validate the quality of participant engagement and the efficacy of the recreation department.

Power of Attorney Heather Dixon, LL.B Counsel to Pullan Kammerloch Frohlinger

Description: Increasingly complex, Powers of Attorney can be misused, and misunderstood by the persons who are the Attorneys, as well as the people who offer day-to day care for our aging population. Many workers in the field of elder care are confronted by an Attorney who gives instructions and directions, but that Attorney may not have the power to actually initiate such orders. This presentation will talk about: the difference between a Power of Attorney and Health Care Directive; what a PoA is (and isn’t); how to read a PoA and understand the powers that document confers; what an Attorney can and cannot do; and, what to do if there is no PoA or Health Care Directive. As well, it will offer some thoughts on strategies your organization might consider to help you, the front line care worker when an issue arises. A graduate of the University of Manitoba, Faculty of Law, Heather began her law career later in life after the last of her children was in school full time.
