| الوصف: | Long-term care (LTC) residents have an increased risk of social isolation and loneliness, and these risks were exacerbated by pandemic policies that restricted visitors. The designated care partner (DCP) program was introduced in some LTC homes to allow designated family members to safely enter the homes and provide support for residents. We undertook a developmental evaluation (DE) to support the development and implementation of the DCP program in three Ontario LTC homes during the COVID-19 pandemic. Data were collected from 65 staff and DCPs through seven iterations of a DE process. Analysis used directed and inductive coding and theming procedures to create a description of the DCP experience. Themes illustrated the barriers and facilitators to the DCP program and revealed a pervasive deficit of care due to inadequate funding, staff shortages, and an acrimonious relationship between staff and family members. Our project demonstrated a need for additional resources and stronger partnerships between staff and family caregivers. |
