UBC Reports \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 February 5,1998 3\nStudy:\nNursing homes need\nhelp with oral hygiene\nby Hilary Thomson\nStaff writer\nMany residents of long-term care facilities have undetected oral health problems and staff feel inadequate to help\nwith oral hygiene, according to a recent\nUBC study.\nA team of three researchers from the\noral health sciences, nursing and health\nservices and policy research areas evaluated the oral health programs of care\nfacilities in the Lower Mainland to determine what makes a program successful\nand to find out what dental services are\nrequired.\n\"We didn't know too much about the\nenvironment of long-term care facilities,\"\nsays team member Michael MacEntee,\nprofessor of Oral Health Sciences. \"Learning about needs for this population can\nhelp dentists target resources for residential facilities.\"\nThe research team interviewed facility\nmanagement, staff, dentists and residents.\nThey found that facility workers have\ntrouble squeezing oral hygiene into an\nalready demanding routine of changing\nbed linen and clothing, assisting residents to the bathroom and bathing. Lack\nof training for aides and resistance from\nsome residents, including biting, contribute to inattention to oral hygiene.\nThe provincial government requires\ndental services be available to all facility\nresidents. These services may include\nmobile clinics or an on-site clinic.\nThese minimal standards of oral health\ncare are not widely enforced, MacEntee\nsays.\nFour of the facilities studied made no\nprovision for dental treatment on site;\nthree had a fully equipped dental clinic;\nand the remainder hid mobile dental\nequipment, a dental chair or access to a\ndentist with mobile equipment.\nResearchers found 1 hat no one model\nof care was superior. Oral hygiene, diagnostic assessment and dental treatment\nall need to be in place; for a successful\nprogram.\nBut services alone don't guarantee\neffective oral health care, the team discovered.\n\"We found that organizational factors\nsuch as budget, management style and\ntraining were secondary and that individual influence was more significant,\"\nsays research team member Arminee\nKazanjian, associate director of the Centre for Health Services and Policy Research. This points to a policy vacuum\nwhich needs to be addressed by the Ministry of Health.\"\nFellow researcher Sally Thorne agrees\nthat the philosophy and people skills of\nthe facility management were key factors.\n\"Engaging the staff to pull together\ntoward the same goal is critical,\" says\nThorne, a professor in t he School of Nursing. This study suggests that the values\npeople hold are just as important as any\nother aspect of health care delivery.\"\nThe researchers hope to include training on dental care outside dental facilities\nas part of undergraduate and continuing\ndental education.\nmv\nOffbeat\nby staff writers\ns the popular song asks, 'Where\nhave all the cowboys gone?'\nlYou sure won't find them in Hollywood, but those who hanker for the\ndays when westerns ruled the silver screen\nshould take a look at Tall in 'he Saddle:\n\ . _^r^f\u00C2\u00A3~ ~# -~vv. Great Lines from Classic Westerns.\n2^Ulbmus^H^mmm^-i ^he book is the latest collection of\nquotable quotes from the movies edited by\nUBC Creative Writing Prof. Peggy Thompson and co-author Saeko Usukawa.\nFolksy, tough and laced with humour, the movie lines include such gems\nas:\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 \"Draw fast and aim slow,\" from Tombstone.\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 \"Sonny, I can see we ain't going to have you 'round long enough to get\ntired of your company,\" from The Law and Jake Wade.\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 \"I like my coffee strong enough to float a pistol,\" from Jubal.\nAnd this exchange from The Misfits:\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 \"He's a cowboy.\"\n\"How do you know?\"\n\"I can smell, can't I?\"\nThompson and Usukawa viewed 150 westerns \u00E2\u0080\u0094 from Stagecoach to\nLittle Big Man \u00E2\u0080\u0094 to compile 350 quotes for the book.\nThere's really no other way of doing it,\" Thompson said of the video\nmarathon, \"but because we're such big film buffs, it was a pleasure.\"\nEven so, the authors just scratched the surface of the genre. The western\nis as old as Hollywood itself and more than 7,000 have been made, many\nduring the golden age from the 1930s to the late 1960s.\nAlthough the genre has fallen out of favour in recent years, don't be too\nquick to bury it on Boot Hill. The western movie has been declared dead\nsince its inception, Thompson notes.\n\"It was said that no one could ever top Thomas Edison's The Great Train\nRobbery, one of the first silent films ever made, but the genre always seems\nto re-invent itself.\"\nGenerously illustrated with lobby card art, stills, posters and ads. Tall in\nthe Saddle is a sequel to the authors' earlier work. Hard Boikd: Great Lines\nfrom Classic Noir Films.\nWill there be yet another book in the \"Great Lines\" series?\n\"We're doing science fiction next,\" confirms Thompson.\nThompson knows a thing or two herself about movie scripts. Her feature\nfilm The Lotus Eaters was nominated for eleven Genie Awards and won\nthree, including best screenplay. She has also written and produced independent short films and written drama for the stage and radio.\nStephen Forgacs photo\nEnlightening\nRCMP Const.

Other\ncompetitors included teams from the\nuniversities of Victoria, Manitoba,\nLethbridge and Regina.\nUBC swimmers broke five conference\nrecords in the process including Greg\nHamm's 100-metre backstroke swim of\n56.68 seconds.\nThe women's team, led by record-\nbreaking performances by first-year sensations Katie Brambley and Amanda\nMarin and 1996 Olympic 100-metre but\nterfly competitor Sarah Evanetz, narrowly\nedged the host Victoria Vikes 582.5 to\n569. Calgary finished third with 450.5.\nBrambley, an 18-year-old Victoria native, set two meet records with a 4:20.68\nperformance in the 400-metre freestyle\nand a 2:03.50 swim in 200-metre freestyle. Evanetz, the previous record holder\nin 200 freestyle and the winner of a total\nof 15 gold medals in her three CIAU\nnational championship appearances to\ndate, broke the record for 100-metre\nbreast-stroke with a swim of 1:12.64.\nMarin rounded out the record-breaking\nperformances with a swim of 2:15.07 in\n200-metre backstroke.\nMeanwhile, Versfeld was making an\ninternational mark by capturing a silver\nmedal in the 100-metre breaststroke at\nthe Worlds, followed by a bronze in the\n200-metre backstroke. He will rejoin the\nUBC team as it sets its sights on the CIAU\nChampionships in Quebec Feb. 21-23.\nUBC narrowly missed its attempt to\ncapture dual CIAU national championships in 1996/97 when the women's team\nwon its third consecutive CIAU crown\nwhile the men fell second to Calgary.\nBoth UBC teams are currently ranked\nfirst in Canada. 4 UBC Reports \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 February 5, 1998\nCalendar\nFebruary 8 through February 21\nSunday, Feb. 8\nGraduate Symposium On\nAsia\nInstant Asia: Constructing New\nIdentities In An Era Of Globalization.
