| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to develop delirium care management for elderly patients in acute hospital settings. The research program was included to develop and administrate an educational program for nurses, and to assist delirium care leaders in the efforts to improve delirium care at participating wards. One year after the start of the program, the development process and outcomes of the program were evaluated by quantitative and qualitative analyses. The findings showed that nurses were improved awareness of the needs of delirium sufferers, resulting in changes in care quality. To improve the delirium care quality provided at general hospitals, it is necessary to organize the tasks involved in the wards, improve instructions to nurses in how to use the evaluation tools, and simplify recoding methods to allow nurses to concentrate on the delirium care, as well as to support and encourage the efforts of the nurses.
