Abstract:

On the basis of the analysis of elderly people’s tourist activity the factors determining the organization of tourist activity have been revealed. The psychological features of elderly tourists, causing their consumer behavior, both in the process of purchasing tourist permits, and the General attitude of the consumer to tourism have been considered. It has been established that stereotypes, the environment of tourist products and the emotional sphere of the elderly tourist are the main factors, on the basis of which the decision on travel or refusal to travel is made. The model of interaction process of psychological features of elderly tourists with stages of tourist activity has been presented. The dependence between the primary experience of tourism and the subsequent recreational needs refl cts the importance of studying the psychology of elderly tourists to ensure the frequency of consumption of tourist products.

Abstract:

Abstract. Many older people suffer from functional declines and activity limitations, which reduce their autonomy and quality of life. Assistive technologies (ATs) could dampen such effects. However, many older people do not use ATs and it is important to understand, why they give away their benefits. In this article, we look at older peoples’ use of ATs from an action perspective on human development elaborated by Brandtstädter and colleagues. We review from this viewpoint models of AT use created mostly in information systems technology, business administration, and management sciences. The major focus is on the extent to which these models consider the relevant internal (mental) and external context of AT use, possible action alternatives, and autonomous, vicarious, and joint modes of decision-making about AT use. Systematic literature searches in PsycINFO, MEDLINE, and Google Scholar led us to 23 models. None of them contained as central variables any perceived discrepancies between the actual and desired developmental situation or any goals to reduce these discrepancies. No model included action alternatives to AT use beyond non-use such as trying harder on oneself, making environmental adaptations or using personal support. All models conceive of AT use as an act of the individual user, but neglected decision making about AT use by other persons on his or her behalf or a joint decision making of a potential user together with other persons (e.g., relatives). We discuss the background of these gaps, possibilities of a more comprehensive modeling of AT use, and practical implications (e.g., developmental counseling).

Abstract:

For some time in Britain, it has been difficult to recruit clinical psychologists and other health professionals to work with older people. This pattern of under-recruitment has also been reported in other countries. With the growing number of older people in western societies, the issue of under-recruitment warrants further attention. This research reported here aimed to explore this issue among the next generation of clinical psychologists: those currently training. Questionnaires were posted to 25 of the clinical psychology training courses in the United Kingdom, and 371 trainees returned questionnaires. Among the questions posed, the trainees were asked to set down their thoughts as to why it might be difficult to recruit to the older adult specialty and how recruitment could be improved. The results suggest that many trainees believe that clinical psychology, despite many recent advances, has less to offer older people than other age groups. The responses contain evidence of both ageism and the fear of ageing and death. To improve recruitment into the older adult specialty of clinical psychology, the predominant recommendations were for good quality placements and teaching during training, as well as a need for improved marketing by clinical psychologists working in this specialty, and also for improved support, terms and conditions.

Abstract:

Objective:By 2030, 1 in 6 people in the world will be aged 60 years or over (World Health Organization, 2022). This Manifesto is the result of the work undertaken by the Task Force of the Italian Association of Psychology working in the field of Clinical Psychology of Ageing. There is a general belief that older people do not benefit from psychological interventions, due to the prejudice that they may be less psychologically flexible or unable to change and/or improve their functioning. However, current evidence suggests that psychological interventions, including both more and less structured ones, are equally effective for older and working-age adults. Therefore, the aim of this Manifesto was to highlight the specific role of the Clinical Psychology in enabling older adults to overcome the multiple challenges associated with the ageing process and disease-related issues.Methods:We reviewed existing empirical and conceptual literature on main issues in clinical work with older adults.Results:We identified and thoroughly described areas of major interest, such as theoretical models on how we think, feel and act towards age and ageism; prevention of emotional distress and cognitive decline and promotion of older adults’ psychological health in community; multidimensional assessment and evidence-based psychological interventions, also mediated by technology, for healthy older adults and those living with chronic disease such as dementia. Attention to psychological issues related to informal and formal caregiving, as well as the need for education, training and public engagement will be highlighted.Conclusion:With a population living longer worldwide, it is essential to introduce and formalize initiatives to reduce health inequities and improve the lives of older people and their families. This should take place in communities able to foster the abilities of older people, while providing them with access to quality long-term care, if needed.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTResistances to empathy with older service users are outlined, drawn primarily from Jungian psychology. It is suggested that lack of a helper's personal experience of old age allows disproportionate influence to be played by archetypal intrapsychic processes. These are augmented by helpers perceptions of a negative personal future and a tendency either to ignore the age appropriate projects of older persons or replace them with those appropriate for the helper. Consequences for helper training are briefly explored.

Abstract:

Increasingly, the case has been made for the provision of clinical psychology into inpatient settings for older people. This service evaluation aimed at assessing staff perception of clinical psychology, which had recently been established into an acute inpatient mental health service for older people. Overall, psychology was felt to be positive on the ward, providing a formulation based alternative to case management, which staff perceived to improved outcomes. The outcome of the service evaluation, the impact of the results and limitations of the service evaluation are discussed.

Abstract:

This reflective piece explores the integration of clinical psychology into an older adult liaison psychiatry service within Cardiff and Vale University Health Board. A scoping exercise was conducted by a clinical psychologist and an assistant psychologist to assess whether there was a role for clinical psychology and to define its functions within the service. Referrals to clinical psychology during the scoping exercise comprised requests for additional support in complex cases, team reflection, and specific psychological interventions. The scoping exercise revealed the need for a clinical psychologist to be embedded within the liaison psychiatry service, with their role encompassing various aspects of patient care, consultation, training, and service development. The psychologist should be experienced working in a medical setting and be able to prioritise their workload. There was also a defined role for an assistant psychologist. The article offers reflections on challenges faced by staff within the service, and how the integration of psychology offered valuable contributions to patient care, team dynamics, and system-wide improvements. This reflection emphasises the importance of clinical psychologists working in older adult liaison psychiatry services.

Abstract:

(1) Background: An increasing number of people are living with late-life depression, yet non-pharmacological treatments to help manage symptoms are limited. Two interventions, positive psychology and music therapeutic songwriting, have independently led to decreased depressive symptoms and an improved wellbeing in older people over 65 years old. (2) Methods: This article describes the development of a therapeutic songwriting program for people living with late-life depression. Knowledge from positive psychology and therapeutic songwriting was combined to maximize the potential benefits. (3) Results: The intervention program has ten weekly 45 min sessions that incorporate elements from positive psychology into therapeutic songwriting. Using a three-song approach encompassing ongoing musical practices, different positive psychology interventions were incorporated to support the experiences associated with a flourishing life. The intervention protocol for older people presented here is distinct from previous deficit-orientated approaches in that it shifts the focus to positive experiences, resources, and the individual’s ability to decrease their own depressive symptoms and improve their wellbeing. (4) Discussion: This protocol presenting a therapeutic songwriting program meets the need to develop new non-pharmacological treatment options. However, further studies are needed to examine the feasibility and impact of the intervention program on late-life depression and wellbeing in older people.

Abstract:

Abstract Ageism includes negative attitudes, stereotyping, and discriminatory behavior toward older adults and is associated with negative consequences for health and well-being of the growing older population. In addition, ageism affects structural health care including psychological treatment of older individuals. Since educational interventions have been shown to be effective in reducing ageist prejudice and improving knowledge about older people, courses in gerontology taught as part of the psychology curriculum might help future psychologists to be better equipped to challenge ageism and to provide more effective and compassionate care to older adults. In the present study, we compared psychology students (n = 50) that chose courses in applied geropsychology with students of other specialization of choice (n = 26) on multiple scales including affective (attitudes), cognitive (stereotypes) and behavioral (discrimination) dimensions. Questionnaires were completed at the beginning and the end of one semester to conduct a within pre- and post-treatment assessment and analysis with a comparison group. Results showed that geropsychology students improved in self-reported knowledge about aging and older adults (d = 0.71). However, other tests did not show a statistically reliable improvement on the three assessed ageism dimensions within one semester. Findings implicate that gained knowledge about aging does not necessarily lower prejudice. In our discussion we highlight possible interventions targeting psychology students and reflect on methods to assess attitudes, stereotypes, and behavioral aspects of ageism in participants with high education level.
