Significant Activities in the Implementation of the Integrated Person-centered Care Model: Intervention Protocol
The increasing life expectancy and global aging population necessitate changes in long-term gerontological services based on Person-Centred Care approaches. This study aims to improve Person-Centred Care in geriatric centers through meaningful activities and the role of occupational therapists and direct care professionals in developing these activities. A descriptive cross-sectional quasi-experimental design was proposed, with 10 participants.
• That the direct care worker has a degree as a nursing assistant, dependency care technician, geroculturist or certificate of professionalism.
• The worker must speak and understand Spanish.
• The residence must offer service during the day, in the morning or afternoon shift.
• Workers must have been with the department for more than 4 months.
