The purpose of this study is to evaluate the acceptability, appropriateness, and effectiveness of educational intervention with homecare nurses about deprescribing of medications among older adults. An evaluation research study was conducted using survey design to evaluate deprescribing education with a total sample of 45 homecare nurses from three homecare organizations. Post-training evaluation data were evaluated using Likert scale and open-ended questions were analyzed using descriptive statistical analyses and qualitative thematic analysis. Post-intervention questionnaire responses provided descriptions about homecare nurses' perspectives related to deprescribing education, as well as the effectiveness of training in addressing their knowledge gaps. The pilot-testing of deprescribing learning modules and educational training revealed acceptability and suitability for future scale-up to expand its future reach and adoption by other homecare organizations. This study provided important implications into the barriers that impact the effectiveness of deprescribing education, and facilitators that support the future refinement of learning modules.

Department of Neurobiology, Care Science and Society (NVS), Division of Occupational Therapy, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden.
Background: The care of older persons is facing several challenges, especially as care tasks are becoming increasingly rationalized with less opportunity for relational engagement between nurse assistants and older persons. Evidence suggests this engagement is needed to promote well-being and satisfaction among the older persons with whom they work. The aim of this study was to explore how care, in the context of worker perspectives, is understood and experienced in home or residential care facilities.
