Brief overview for the lecture:
How to provide high-quality long-term care to the growing numbers of frail older adults in the United States (US) and the European Union (EU) is one the most pressing intersectoral concerns of our time. Dr. Corazzini will provide an overview of her work that aims to compare how registered nurses in two EU-member countries, Sweden and the United Kingdom, accomplish person-centered care with assistive caregivers in residential long-term care, and the regulatory structures that relate to these practices. Findings are discussed in relation to how this care is accomplished in the US. Implications will be explored for health and social care policy in both the US and EU to address our critical, shared challenges.
