Full textAs online environments become more cost effective, allow for more personalisation and often offer faster solutions, numerous service providers have shifted priority to the development of online user interactions. Many perceive this trend as positive, and welcome services that can be accessed online, anywhere, anytime. However, not all members of society favour the shift to online services, and resistance to technology and online services have been documented among ageing individuals. In order to design user interactions for ageing users more effectively, it is imperative to understand the normative changes that impact ageing users’ interactions with online services. The exploration of user perception and experience links to both physical and emotional involvement - documenting reactions such as frustration, fear, joy and excitement in relation to online services. The study focuses on the exploration of perceived interaction barriers among South African ageing users, as well as those interactions already perceived as appealing, contributing to new theoretical insights and a description of the sociotechnical context investigated in this study. The study is completed using a constructivist grounded theory method, with qualitative methods focused on user participation and co-design. In addition to the emerging substantive theory of Ageing User Decision-Determined Engagement (AUDDE), the study adds value to online service design practice by developing a deeper understanding of user perceptions and experiences, within a socio-technical context. Findings from the participatory research sessions informed a set of practical service design interaction guidelines, which can inform the design of more engaging online services for the ageing community. Methodologically the study explores the grounded theory method, within a design research framework, and establishes it as a suitable methodology to generate theory through design practice

Full textEl continuo envejecimiento de la población mundial hace que sea necesario entender mejor este fenómeno. Por esta razón, la presente tesis doctoral tiene como objetivo estudiar dos variables muy importantes en la gente mayor, envejecimiento activo (AA) en la gente mayor y calidad de vida relacionada con la salud (HRQL) en gente con demencia. Para ello, he participado en diferentes estudios y he utilizado diferentes metodologías de investigación. En la primera publicación de esta tesis, estudio la distribución y asociación de diferentes definiciones de AA con variables sociodemográficas en una amplia muestra poblacional de España, Polonia y Finlandia. En la siguiente publicación llevo a cabo una revisión de la literatura sobre instrumentos para medir HRQL en demencia con tal de entender este complejo concepto y comparar los diferentes instrumentos en cuanto al método de recogida de información o al motivo de evaluación, por ejemplo. En la ultima publicación, exploro la distribución de HRQL en la población de gente muy mayor de Cambridge, creando un nuevo instrumento utilizando un marco conceptual ya existente.

Full textAlongside informal networks of friends and family, formal social groupings such as voluntary associations are valued by older people as opportunities for engagement. In Australia, one such grouping is the licensed social (or ‘registered’) club. Approximately 20 per cent of all older Australians, and 80 per cent of older residents of the state of New South Wales, actively participate in such clubs. Despite this, older people’s registered club participation has received little scholarly attention. This ethnographic study of one particular registered club aimed to discover the nature, meaning and role of club participation for its older members. Social capital existing in club-based networks emerged as a further investigative focus, and its mechanisms and outcomes were examined. Participant observation and in-depth interviewing were the main data collection methods used. Data analysis procedures included thematic analysis (based loosely on grounded theory methodology), as well as the more contextsensitive narrative analysis and key-words-in-context analysis. The study found that club participation enabled older members to maintain valued social networks, self-reliance and a sense of autonomy. Social networks were characterised by social capital of the bonding type, being largely homogeneous with respect to age, gender, (working) class and cultural background. Strong cohesive bonds were characterised by intimacy and reciprocity, and possessed norms including equality and the norm of tolerance and inclusiveness. These helped to minimise conflict and build cohesiveness, while protecting older club-goers from increasing marginalisation within the club. Peer grouping within this mainstream setting may have shielded the older club-goers from stigma associated with participation in old-age specific groups. The nature and scale of registered club participation amongst older Australians points to their unique and important role. The findings of this research indicate that – for at least this group of older men and women - club use is a major contributor to maintaining social connectedness and a sense of self as self-reliant, autonomous and capable. In the context of an ageing population, Australia’s registered clubs feature in the mosaic of resources available to older people, and their communities, for the creation of social capital.

Full textSyfte och frågeställningar
Syftet med uppsatsen var att göra en undersökning av attityder till och uppfattningar kring kost, träning och hälsa hos personer i åldern 55-70 år. Ser de sambandet mellan sin livsstil och upplevda hälsa idag och i framtiden? Det var även av intresse att undersöka vad de vet om aktuella rön om kost och träning, om de agerar på det de läser, vilka rön de tar till sig och inte. Vidare studerades också deras attityder till motion, hur de upplever den och vilka effekter de tycker att den har, samt vad de upplever som hinder för att de skulle motionera mer. De tillfrågades även om kostvanor, då dessa är relevanta i sammanhanget.
Metod
En kvantitativ undersökning i form av en enkätundersökning befanns lämplig. Att genomföra den via Internet var mest praktiskt och smidigt. Respondenterna söktes via föräldrar, svärföräldrar, vänner och bekanta som i sin tur frågade sina föräldrar, vänner och så vidare.
Resultat
Det stora flertalet av respondenterna uppgav att de rörde en del på sig, huvudsakliga aktiviteter var promenader och/eller cykling. De sade sig också i stor utsträckning vara medvetna om idag vanliga hälsorön som förekommer i media och många uppgav att de följde en del av dem. Dock visade de på en viss försiktighet, alternativt hade vissa svårigheter med att ta till sig dem eftersom de ansåg att det kom ut för mycket råd som ofta var motstridiga - de hade helt enkelt inte tid och ork att sätta sig in i alla frågor. De var positiva till motion och dess effekter, men många angav att de skulle behöva någon form av hjälp för att komma igång eller för att öka deras aktivitetsnivå. De flesta hade gjort vissa anpassningar av sina kostvanor p.g.a. hälsoråd. Det finns en positiv korrelation mellan ett intresse för hälsokunskap och mera motion, och dessutom med bättre upplevd hälsa.
Slutsats
Den äldre generationen är någorlunda villig att ta till sig råd och förändra sin livsstil för att förbättra sin hälsa på sikt. De flesta upplever dock att de behöver hjälp med att komma över ofta praktiska hinder för att motionera mer regelbundet, och dessutom med att få en klarare bild av vad de faktiskt borde göra. Men med intresse och kunskap följer handling. Det finns således en utmärkt möjlighet för en hälsopedagog att göra en insats för denna generation.
Aim
The aim of this study has been to examine the attitudes towards nutrition, exercise and health in persons aged 55 to 70. Do they see the connection between the lifestyles they lead and their perceived health today and in the future? Moreover, what do they know about current research about nutrition and exercise? Do they act upon what they read? What advice do they apply in their lives? Their attitudes towards exercise, their experiences of exercise, what effect they have experienced, and what obstacles to increasing their exercising they experienced were also charted. Questions about nutrition were also brought up since these are relevant in this context.
Method
The investigation was conducted as a quantitative study in the form of a survey. It was done via the Internet as this was the most practical way. The respondents were chosen and contacted through parents, in-laws, and friends who in turn spread the word further.
Results
The majority of the respondents took part in regular physical activity, most commonly walking and/or cycling. Most respondents were aware of most health related advice and results of scientific studies common in the media today, claiming to follow some of them. They showed a certain hesitation and inability to fully get grips on them as it was their opinion that such results were overly abundant - they simply didn’t have the time or energy to form their own opinion. They were generally positive on exercise but many deemed they need help to get going or to increase their activity level. Most had made modifications to their diet in response to nutritional advice. There is a positive correlation between an interest in health and exercise, and also with better perceived health.
Conclusions
The generation of older adults are reasonably willing to accept and apply advice and change their lifestyle in order to improve their long term health. Most feel they need some help to get over obstacles of a practical nature preventing them from exercising more, and in order to get a clearer view of what they should do. But with interest and knowledge comes action. Thus it can be conclude that this is an excellent opportunity for a health advisor to have a positive impact on people of this generation.

Full textTiivistelmä Poliittisesti Suomessa painotetaan vanhusten palveluissa lähtökohtaisesti kotihoitoa. Viranomaiset ovat asettaneet valtakunnallisia tavoitteita palvelujen tarjoamisesta vanhuksille ja pyrkivät edistämään vanhusten kotiasumista niin pitkään kuin mahdollista. Tässä mielessä valtio toteuttaa ageing in place -toimintamallia, joka on laajalti vakiintunut sosiologian ja gerontologian konsepti. Vaikka sosiaali- ja terveydenhuoltopalveluiden rakenteet siirtyivät 1990-luvulla merkittävästi kotipalveluiden suuntaan, Suomea pidetään edelleen maana, jossa hyvinvointipalvelut ovat suhteellisen laitoskeskeisiä. Johtuen väestön etenevästä ikääntymisestä ja paineista vähentää sosiaalipalvelujen kustannuksia, on vielä epäselvää missä määrin ageing in place -mallin edistäminen on realistista asuinympäristön näkökulmasta. Tämä tutkimus toteutettiin tapaustutkimuksena, joka keskittyi kuuteentoista Oulun kaupunginosaan. Tutkittuja neljääkymmentäkolmea kohdetta, jotka edustivat erilaisia vanhusten asuinkategorioita, siis vanhainkoteja, tehostettua palveluasumista ja ikääntyneiden vuokra-asumista, ja olivat sijoittuneet niin keskustan alueelle kuin lähiöihin, analysoitiin systemaattisesti käyttäen avuksi rakennuslupia, kerättyä dataa ja tutkijan naapurustokyselyitä. Näin kerättyä dataa analysoitiin pääasiassa kvantitatiivisesti ja mitattiin monitieteellisin menetelmin. Analyysin lopputulokset viittaavat yleisesti ottaen siihen, että tässä tutkimuksessa tarkastelluissa asuinrakennuskohteissa asumisen taso ei välttämättä auttanut ikääntyneitä asukkaita selviytymään kaikista mahdollista asuinympäristöä koskevista ongelmista, ja toisaalta asukkaiden erilaisten elämäntyylien kannalta rakennusten välisten erojen nähdään olevan todelliselta merkitykseltään varsin rajoittuneita. Ageing in place -mallin toteutumisen aste riippuu siitä, miten eri tahot (valtion viranomaiset ja paikalliset viranomaiset, kehittäjät, palveluntarjoajat, vanhukset) kyseisen konseptin määrittelevät. Vaikuttaa siltä, että ageing in place -mallin toteuttaminen edellyttää jatkossa laajempaa ja perusteellisempaa keskustelua. Ageing in place -konseptia koskevassa keskustelussa ei ole nähtävissä sellaista ajattelutapaa, jossa pyrittäisi minimoimaan palveluiden määrä tarjoamalla vanhuksille sopivanlaiset asuinolosuhteet, vaan sen sijaan keskustelussa on keskitytty etsimään parasta hoitopalveluiden ja asumisen yhdistelmää. On kuitenkin tiettyjä ongelmia, joita voi ratkaista vain sopivilla asuinympäristöillä

Full textStudies have indicated that the global population of older people will reach 1.53 billion by 2050. The ageing population is a large consumer of health-care services and this remains a global concern due to the impact on existing health care systems. To have an adequately prepared workforce, nurses must have enough knowledge and skills to care for older people and positive attitudes toward them. This is because nurses’ attitudes towards older people might influence the quality of care they provide. Studies have documented nurses’ reluctance to care to work with older people, but little is known about the attitudes and knowledge of nursing students towards caring for older people in South Africa. The aim of this study was to examine undergraduate nursing students’ knowledge about ageing and their attitudes towards caring for older people. A quantitative descriptive survey, utilizing a self-administered questionnaire was used. A pre-tested self-report questionnaire was used to collect the data from a stratified sample of 240 nursing students across 5 levels of Bachelor of Nursing programme, from the foundation year to the 4th year.. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 25. The response rate was 100%. The findings showed that the first- and second-year students had minimal clinical exposure to older people while the third and fourth year had extensive contact with patients in clinical and other health settings. The students had an average level of knowledge with a generally positive attitude towards older people, though significant differences were found between the year levels. Just over half of the respondents reported that they intend to work with older people after graduation. The study recommended the improved training of nursing students in caring for older people.
