Abstract

"A vivid depiction and real-world example of the personal and institutional impact of the Arbinger Institute's transformative ideas (Leadership and Self-Deception; 1.4 million copies sold) within a healthcare organization--The HG nursing homes. In general, nursing homes are scorned healthcare institutions--but it was in these transformed HG homes that Kimberly White discovered a new way of "seeing" people and underwent her own personal transformation. Both HG and White shifted their perspective and mindset based on their adoption of The Arbinger Institute's basic principles. Without realizing it, we tend to treat people as objects. We see them solely in terms of their usefulness to us. This invites tension and conflict, and changing this mindset is at the heart of the Arbinger Institute's work. This book is a moving true story of an unhappy woman whose life and family were transformed when she began researching how Arbinger's ideas were being implemented in nursing homes. Kimberly White was astonished to discover that those who choose to care for the elderly and ill, earning low pay in a maligned industry, were nevertheless full of satisfaction, compassion and love because of their ability to see their patients as real and true and valuable people. White's research became a personal exploration of how to see the people in her own life as people in that same profound way. When she did, everything in her life and her world changed--and the reader's will too"-- "Without realizing it, we tend to treat people as objects.

Abstract

This study reports on the latest trends in long-term care policies in nineteen OECD countries: Australia, Austria, Canada, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Japan, Korea, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Mexico, Poland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. It studies lessons learned from countries that undertook major reforms over the past decade. Trends in expenditure, financing and the number of care recipients are analysed based on new data on cross-country differences. Special attention is given to experience with programmes that provide consumers of services with a choice of care options, including cash to family caregivers. Concise country profiles of long-term care systems and an overview on demography and living situations of older persons make this complex policy field more accessible.

Abstract

Cette étude rend compte des dernières évolutions des politiques en matière de soins de longue durée dans dix-neuf pays de l'OCDE : l'Allemagne, l'Australie, l'Autriche, le Canada, la Corée, l'Espagne, les États-Unis, la Hongrie, l'Irlande, le Japon, le Luxembourg, le Mexique, la Norvège, la Nouvelle-Zélande, les Pays-Bas, la Pologne, le Royaume-Uni, la Suède et la Suisse. Elle étudie les enseignements tirés de l'expérience des pays ayant engagé des réformes de grande ampleur au cours des dix dernières années. L'évolution des dépenses, des financements et du nombre des bénéficiaires des soins est analysée sur la base de données nouvelles concernant les différences observées d'un pays à l'autre. Une attention particulière est accordée aux programmes qui proposent diverses solutions aux consommateurs de ces services, et notamment aux prestations en espèces aux aidants naturels. Des profils concis des systèmes nationaux de soins de longue durée et un aperçu de la démographie et des conditions de vie des personnes âgées rendent plus accessible ce domaine politique complexe.
