Abstract:

The elderly are the fastest growing proportion of the world population. Additional increase in longevity, brought about by improved medical technology, will impact significantly on the health care system as, with advancing age comes a variety of acute and chronic health conditions. No matter how fit, advancing age leads to reduction in mobility and physical function, and these changes, affect quality of gait and the capacity for functional and safe ambulation. With the frail elderly, gait impairments are often severe and impact on health and quality of life. Given that improving walking capaci

Abstract:

Background: The worldwide ageing demographic trend has resulted in a growing number of frail elderly who are in the last stages of autonomous living. Oral nutritional interventions for the frail elderly address the body’s natural weight loss, sometimes reversing weight loss, though the literature is not of one accord. No review of nutritional interventions has been conducted for community-dwelling frail elderly, who are most likely to benefit from these interventions and delay adverse outcomes.

Elder abuse is a complex, multi-faceted health, social, criminal justice, international public health and human rights issue. The widely divergent and varying definitions is a controversial problem to understanding elder abuse. The elderly have been excluded from national gender-based programs on domestic violence and the abuse of women and children.

Abstract:

This study explores women's narratives from within and outside of the frail/non-frail binary of public home care services. It focuses on the stories that are commonly told about older women's needs and bodies and the regulatory potential of these accounts. Considering power, language, diversity and change, this study focuses on the way that twelve diverse older women at various social locations (e.g., ability, age, culture, ethnicity, 'race', sexual orientation, and socio-economic status) understand, make meaning, and negotiate the concept of frailty in relation to their everyday lives.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Background: The population of elderly people is an expanding group with an average life expectancy far exceeding that of only several decades ago. This increased number of older adults is a direct result of improved medical improvements, but it has also created a group vulnerable to the decline of bodily functions, diminished physical strength and poor quality of life. They are susceptible to poor nutrition and frailty that can lead to ill health and poor quality of life that ultimately imposes a strain on the health care system and its resources. It is key that effective intervention

As few studies focus explicitly on social support for residents by residents in retirement communities which have staff, this thesis is designed to explore the nature of informal social support among residents at planned, non-subsidized retirement care facilities: the types, the amount, the impact, the limitation and the appropriateness of such support. Our focus is to explore whether different organization of a retirement community affects social support among residents, so we compare two retirement care facilities.

Telecare has been an approach to care that, internationally, has experienced a generally rapid development during the last ten years. There are many examples of successful pilot projects where ICT applications have been used in the care of elderly: for improved remote consultation with health professionals, to improve the communication and support of the elderly person’s social network, and as intelligent sensors intended to improve the safety of the elderly person. Despite these successes, implementation has been slow. This research project was set up to provide additional knowledge on some o

Abstract:

The impact of caregiving and the role of psychosocial resources are examined in elderly spouses of the physically frail. Despite evidence from the literature, the strain of caring for older people with physical illnesses is less well recognised that that of caring for dementia sufferers. Similarly, although marriage is the prime location of care, the impact on the marital relationship is little studied. In this study elderly spouse caregivers were interviewed before and after their partner's attendance at a day hospital. Questionnaires were used to assess stressors, mood, general mental health

Abstract:

A review of the research on family caregivers of the frail elderly indicates that although caregivers often experience high levels of burden, they make only minimal use of available professional, or formal, services. A theoretical model of helping and coping proposed by Brickman, Rabinowitz, Karuza, Coates, Cohn, and Kidder (1982) suggests that attributions of responsibility for causing and for solving problems define four distinct attributional styles, each determining how people will respond to outside help. The current study of 40 family caregivers attempted to validate an attribution instr

Two groups of urban residents present ongoing problems, the frail elderly and disadvantaged youth who are approaching transition from school to the work force.
