Abstract:

Background: The Older Persons (OPs) are the knowledge and experiencebanks who hand over their life experiences to run society to the youth to further take up thesociety for the continuity of life and its progressive upward mobility. Objective: The aim of studywas to explore the interrelationship of older persons’ health care and social protection in thelight of United Nations Principles for Older Persons in Rawalpindi city. Study Design: CrossSectional Study. Materials and Methods: Structured questionnaire was developed to collectinformation on Older Persons’ health, economic and psychological status. In this regard, anextensive questionnaire was designed and pre-tested vigorously. Place & Duration of Study:The data collection was done in various union councils of Rawalpindi city. The study durationwas three months and lasted from September 2013 to December 2013. Results: Family isconcerned about the welfare of OPs but the financial liabilities. In 82.8% cases children werefound to be caring whereas in 17.2% cases kids were totally forgetful. 46% OPs were primarilynursed by their spouses and 34% by sons or daughters. 44.3% OPs still managed their financialaffairs. In 66% case no secondary financial facility was provided by the government. 28.9%cases were those where OPs requested help from other sources. Conclusions: The IslamicJurisprudence, Constitution of Islamic Republic of Pakistan and UN Principles demand thegovernments and states to intervene in the situation and make sure that the OPs are enjoyingequal access to independence, (social) participation, care, self-fulfillment and dignity.

Abstract:

This study explores the severity of depression in older persons who are chronically ill. The study was an attempt to determine if there is a significant relationship between four independent variables—family support, social support, marital status, and gender. The study was conducted while respondents were hospitalized at Clayton General Hospital. The research concluded that most older chronically ill persons were not depressed or were only mildly depressed. Significant factors were gender. Females reported more incidence of depression than males and single respondents reported higher incidences of depression than married persons. Suggestions for identifying depression in older persons were indicated and implications for social work practice for working with this unique population were discussed.

Abstract:

Lifelong learning (LL) has been widely regarded as one of the activities that can enhance well-being of the society and benefit older persons in terms of psychological, physical, mental, and cognitive well-being. In foreign countries like the Unites States of America, the United Kingdom, Finland, France, Australia, and also China, LL among older persons had been developed successfully. Hong Kong, in contrast, has no systematic planning for the development of LL even though the aged population is increasing rapidly. This research aims at constructing a LL model for older persons in Hong Kong. The theoretical framework of study focused on figuring out the breaches between satisfactory models proposed by older persons and the existing lifelong learning model in Hong Kong. Interview survey and documentary study have been employed in this study. Interview survey was carried out from March to April of 2005 in order to understand older persons’ expectations towards LL. A questionnaire consisting of 39 big items was constructed. The author successfully interviewed 54 out of the 60 older persons originally intended, including 31 female and 23 male. The samples of this study were older persons aged 55 or above, and the median age of the respondents was 67.84. Also, 26 respondents had had learning experience in the six months prior to the survey being carried out. In the documentary study, both formal and nonformal learning programmes in Hong Kong were studied. Seven major older persons’ education providers were included, including one tertiary institution, one radio broadcasting company and five active NGOs. The findings show the gaps between older persons’ expectations and present provision of LL programmes. The Hong Kong Lifelong Learning Model should have tertiary institutions actively involved in the provision of both formal and nonformal learning programmes. Face to face interviews should be adopted. Formal learning programmes should be made available on the internet or radio. Moreover, older persons would be more satisfied if they could learn at tertiary institutions or centres most convenient for them. Thus, various organizations should have stronger cooperation with each other so that resources can be shared. Older persons preferred a greater variety of courses and lessons and would like to receive grants or travel subsidy. Most of the elder learners were willing to be instructors, therefore they could be recruited as voluntary teachers, and more courses to train older learners as instructors should be offered. The duration of formal learning programmes may be too long for the elderly learners, and they asked for a credit-accumulating system to be implemented in those programmes. A central data bank and newsletters should be made available so that older persons could gain access to information more easily. In order to improve the quality of courses, evaluation and needs assessments should be carried out regularly by service providers, and they should consider designing the course curriculum with elder learners. In order to help those who did not receive much education when young, foundation literacy courses could be offered. In addition, instead of written course work, tests, and examinations, oral presentations and examinations could be carried out. Finally, certificates, qualifications, and public and large scale graduation ceremonies are found to be good reinforcements for older persons’ learning behaviour. In conclusion, Hong Kong, as a beginner in the systematic development of LL for older persons, has much to do to improve the existing system. Irrefutably, making it perfect is arduous because both the service providers and the government have their own constraints. Nonetheless, trying the best to fill in the gaps between the ideal and the reality will bring the greatest benefits to older persons and the society.

Abstract:

With aging there is a decrease in a person’s ability to perform activities of daily living (ADL) which may be most effectively addressed using training patterns that are biomechanically similar to ADL. Since aquatic exercise offers the opportunity to provide resistance with a high level of safety, the pool may afford the ideal environment for ADL-specific training in an aging population. Purpose: The purpose of this investigation was to compare a traditional aquatic exercise program (TRAD) to an aquatic program tailored to target ADL (ADLspec). Methods: Eighteen independently living individuals (68.7 + 7.5 years) were randomly assigned to a TRAD or ADLspec aquatic exercise group. The exercise groups attended 1 hr exercise sessions, 2 times per week for 8 weeks. ADL ability was assessed using the short version of the Continuous-Scale Physical Functional Performance Test (PFP-10); while strength and power were assessed using the 30s arm curl and 30 sec. chair stand tests. Results: Mixed design ANOVAs revealed a significant group x time interaction for floor sweep time with the ADLspec group outperforming the TRAD and control (CON) groups (p = .043). Additionally, the ADLspec group improved the pan weight and scarf time components of the PFP-10 (p < .020), while the TRAD group improved pan time and laundry time (p < .046). Both training groups showed similar improvements for jacket time, grocery weight, and 6-min walk, (p < .046). The ADLspec and TRAD groups also made similar improvements in upper and lower body strength, as well as lower body power across time, (p < .043). A student’s t-test revealed the TRAD group spent more time exercising during the hour session than the ADLspec group (p < .05). Conclusion: The results indicate that performing an ADLspec aquatic exercise program can increase performance of ADL that require more complex sequential movements; however, ADL more dependent on fitness may be better addressed using a TRAD intervention. These results can be helpful when designing a periodized aquatic training program to increase independence in older persons.

Abstract:

Fysisk aktivitet handler om hva du faktisk gjør i løpet av en dag. Fysisk aktivitet endres som følge av økt alder og funksjonsnivå, men også som følge av skader eller sykdom. For eldre er linken mellom fysisk aktivitet og funksjon viktig, og å være i aktivitet er viktig for å opprettholde selvstendighet i daglige aktiviteter. Eldre som har vansker med å forflytte seg er ofte inaktive, og risikoen for ytterligere funksjonsnedsettelser vil dermed også øke. For disse vil mobilisering være ekstra viktig etter perioder med sengeleie grunnet sykdom eller operasjoner. Fysisk aktivitet over lengre perioder kan nå måles ved å benytte små, kroppsbårne, akselerometer-baserte aktivitetsmålere. Dette gjør det mulig å samle objektiv informasjon om hvor fysisk aktive eldre faktisk er i daglige aktiviteter. Slike akselerometer-baserte metoder har typisk blitt utviklet og validert på yngre og friskere personer. Derfor er det behov for å undersøke målesikkerheten og gyldigheten av slike metoder på eldre og de med forflytningsvansker, før man kan ta i bruk disse i klinisk forskning og praksis. Avhandlingen inkluderer en litteraturgjennomgang, to metodestudier og en klinisk studie, hvor målsetningen består av fire deler, og er som følger: 1) å gå systematisk gjennom litteratur på hvilke fysisk aktivitetsvariabler som er utledet fra kroppsbårne sensorer gjennom langtidsmåling av friske eldre og eldre med ulik helseproblematikk; 2) å evaluere nøyaktigheten til en-aksete aktivitetsmålere basert på akselerometer til å gjenkjenne stillinger, forflytninger og steg, sammenlignet med videoopptak, i ulike eldre pasienter: i akuttfasen etter hjerneslag, etter hoftebrudd og sykehuspasienter fra geriatrisk avdeling, sammenlignet med friske yngre voksne; 3) å evaluere nøyaktigheten av ulike antall og kombinasjoner av dager med opptak for å estimere tid i oppreist stilling gjennom en dag hos hoftebruddpasienter; og 4) å evaluere om det er forskjell i tid i oppreist stilling fjerde postoperative dag hos hoftebruddpasienter behandlet med bred geriatrisk utredning og behandling eller ortopedisk behandling, og sekundert å evaluere forskjeller i antall forflytninger, funksjon i underekstremitetene og behov for hjelp ved forflytning. Den systematiske litteraturgjennomgangen viste 134 studier som inkluderte ulike variabler fra aktivitetsmålere blant friske eldre og eldre pasientgrupper. Det er stor variasjon i hvilke aktivitetsvariabler som er brukt i de ulike studiene og også i metodene for aktivitetsmålingen, noe som gjør det vanskelig å sammenligne resultat mellom studier og ulike populasjoner. Valideringsstudien på aktivitetsmåling blant eldre med forflytningsvansker viste stor nøyaktighet for variablene tid i oppreist stilling og antall forflytninger fra sittende til stående, samtidig var antall steg under gange unøyaktig spesielt på lave ganghastigheter. Videre fant vi at det blant hoftebruddpasienter er stor variasjon i tiden de er i oppreist stilling, både når det gjelder variasjonen mellom dager for enkeltpersoner og mellom personer. Basert på disse resultatene, foreslår vi at minimum fire dager med aktivitetsmåling bør gjennomføres for å få et nøyaktig estimat av tid i oppreist stilling gjennom en uke. Studien som evaluerte fysisk aktivitet tidlig etter hoftebrudd avslørte at pasienter behandlet med bred geriatrisk utredning og behandling i en geriatrisk sengepost tilbrakte mer tid i oppreist stilling og hadde bedre funksjon i underekstremitetene sammenlignet med de som fikk ortopedisk behandling i en ortopedisk sengepost. Dette viser at mobilisering bør inngå i en systematisk tilnærming overfor eldre etter hoftebrudd. Denne avhandlingen gir ny kunnskap om fysisk aktivitet hos eldre, og særlig i forhold til eldre med forflytningsvansker. Det er behov for variabler som er pålitelige, noe som forutsetter evaluering for hver populasjon hvor metoden skal benyttes. Resultatet fra avhandlingen viser dessuten at fysisk aktivitet bør inngå som en del av ulike behandlingsmodeller. Basert på resultatet fra fysisk aktivitet tidlig etter operasjon for hoftebrudd, er forslaget at man bør ha fokus på å utnytte daglige aktiviteter til å være fysisk aktiv. Fysisk aktivitet hos eldre tidlig etter hoftebrudd vil være avhengig av omgivelsene, og utvikling av behandlingsmodeller med fysisk aktivitet som del av en systematisk tilnærming vil dermed være nødvendig. Aktivitetsmåling er et relativt nytt forskningsfelt, hvor det er behov for enighet om metodevalg og hvilke variabler som bør benyttes ved aktivitetsmåling av eldre.
Physical activity refers to what you actually do during a day. Physical activity changes with increasing age and functional level, as following injuries or diseases. For older persons the link between physical activity and function is important, where living a physically active life will be important for independence in daily life activities. Older persons with mobility limitations could be at risk of further functional declines because of their low levels of physical activity. Thus, after periods of bed-rest caused by disease or surgeries, physical activity would be extra important. Physical activity over longer periods can now be measured by use of small, wearable, accelerometer-based activity monitors. This enables collection of objective information about how physically active older persons actually are during their daily life. Activity monitors have typically been developed and validated in younger and healthy samples. Thus, before taken into use in older persons and older persons with mobility limitations both in clinical research and in practice, assessment of reliability and validity of these methods are needed. The aim of this thesis, which includes one literature review, two method studies and one clinical study, was fourfold; 1) to systematically review the literature on physical activity variables derived from bodyworn sensors during long term monitoring in healthy and in-care older persons; 2) to assess accuracy of single-axis accelerometer-based activity monitors in recognizing postures and transitions and counting steps compared to video recordings, in different samples of older patients: in the acute phase after a stroke, following a hip fracture, and in a geriatric hospital ward, compared to healthy younger adults; 3) to evaluate the precision of estimated upright time during the day in hip-fracture patients, using different numbers and combinations of recording days; and 4) to assess if there are differences in time in upright position the 4th day after surgery between hip-fracture patients treated with comprehensive geriatric care as compared to orthopedic care, and secondary to assess differences in upright events, lower extremity function, and need for help during ambulation. The systematic literature search revealed 134 studies with different outcomes from activity monitoring for older healthy persons and patient groups. There were large inter-study variability in activity outcomes and great variety in activity monitoring methods, which makes it difficult to compare results across studies and populations. The studies on validation of physical activity monitoring in older people with mobility limitations demonstrated very good accuracy for the outcomes upright time and number of transitions from sitting to standing, but inaccuracy for step counts during walking, especially at low gait speeds. Furthermore, we found upright time in older hip-fracture patients to vary largely between persons and days. Based on the results, we suggest that activity monitoring should be performed for a minimum of four days in order to give a valid estimate of upright time during a week. Studying physical activity early after a hip fracture, we found more upright time and better physical function in patients treated with comprehensive geriatric care in a geriatric ward compared to orthopedic care in an orthopedic ward, suggesting that mobilization should be part of a systematic approach when treating older persons after hip fracture. This thesis provides new knowledge about physical activity in older persons, particularly in older persons with mobility limitations. It pinpoints the need for reliable outcomes and that reliability needs to be assessed in this particular population. Results from this thesis also highlight that physical activity should be included in caring models. Based on the results of physical activity in hip fracture patients early after surgery, the suggestion is to make the most out of daily life activities in order to increase physical activity. Physical activity in older persons early after hip fracture is dependent of the settings where it is being performed. Development of treatment models where systematical approaches for physical activity are included in treatment procedures is therefore warranted. Activity monitoring is a relative new field of research. The results from this thesis demonstrate the need for consensus on methodological aspects related to activity monitoring, including outcome measures when used in older persons.

Abstract:

Film watching is a popular leisure activity in modern society. Films, as a medium, provide powerful tools to deliver social messages and to create images of particular social groups. The cinematic images portrayed by films toward a particular social group may consequently shape our social perceptions and expectations of that social group. The ways that cinematic images portray older persons are, therefore, a potentially major source for detecting social values and views about them. As some cinematic images tend to reflect social attitudes and behaviours, the present research aimed at investigating how popular films portray the images of older persons. Focus was on the examination of: 1) the representation of older persons in Hong Kong movies, 2) whether older persons are positively or negatively portrayed in movies, and 3) any changes in the cinematic images of older persons over the last two decades. The present research examined Hong Kong movies released between 1981 and 2001. The population of the present study is the most popular Hong Kong movies, based on the turnover of the Hong Kong ticket offices. The sampled films were derived from the three highest-turnover movies for each year from 1981 to 2001. Content analysis was employed in this study to determine the representation and images of older persons in the 63 sampled movies. Generally speaking, older persons were found to be under-represented in the sampled movies relative to their presence in the population. Older persons were portrayed as having white hair, wrinkle skin, and walk independently in terms of physical appearance. Older persons were also portrayed as having generally good health status. However, older persons were portrayed to have a decline in both family status and socio-economic status in the 1990s as compared to that of the 1980s. In terms of occupation, most older persons were portrayed as retired persons in the movies. Apart from these features, the present research also found that there was a gender differences in the portrayal of older persons. Many older persons were depicted in the movies in the home setting, perhaps reinforcing traditional Asian family values and stereotypes. However, this perhaps underplays older persons’ active roles and contributions in the light of such current concepts as productive and active aging. There is a temporal division in that older persons in many movies of the 1980s were portrayed as more home-based while, in the 1990s, they were becoming more actively involved in external activities.

Abstract:

This thesis contends that older persons, whose mental capabilities remain intact, are capable of expanding their conscious awareness; they have not necessarily passed their prime as they begin the process of retiring. They may be showing a worn and weakened package but this does not mean they cannot live a fulfilling life. This is the reason for the development of a new form of therapy, called 'Trans-subjective Therapy', because it combines the objective and the subjective with the trans-personal, or unconscious levels of consciousness. Trans-subjective therapy connects the various systems of objectivity, subjectivity, and the transpersonal, or unconscious, so that the client can be facilitated into clearer, deeper understanding of themselves and others, and expand their conscious awareness in a wholesome, fulfilling manner. This thesis describes development and testing of this new therapeutic approach, which is designed specifically to enable older persons to experience more fulfilling and aware lives. Although building on existing therapeutic modalities, this new formulation is unique in that every feature of its design was selected, developed and tested with the specific needs of older persons in mind. This approach emphasises the personal responsibility of the client to expand his/her conscious awareness in the direction of personal choice. This has particular application to the needs of older persons, most of whom are at a stage in life where meaning and purpose have either become clarified or a sense of meaninglessness and resentment dominates their lives. Quotes from the transcripts of the author's testing of this approach with 12 individuals who undertook training in this methodology have been used throughout the text to illustrate the application of this approach. Its effectiveness is inferred from the manner in which each person in this group has expressed him/herself at a level of consciousness freely chosen and individually experienced in a manner that will be novel or completely new to the person involved.

in Older Persons, Risk. "Influence of Footwear on Fall." In Applied Human Factors and Ergonomics Conference. AHFE International, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.54941/ahfe100348.

Full text

Abstract:

It has been shown that several gait parameters are predictive for fall risk in older persons. There is evidence that footwear can influence foot position and gait patterns, especially in older persons. We carried out experiments to study the effects of type of footwear on gait patterns in persons aged 60+. We found an association between the type of footwear and certain gait parameters that are predictive for falls. In conclusion footwear can increase fall risk. Footwear for older people should be designed in such a way that risk of falls is minimized.

Full text

Abstract:

With the numbers of older persons in the Asia and Pacific region increasing rapidly, there is a growing urgency to develop and strengthen long-term care (LTC) support systems and services. This working paper aims to enhance the understanding, particularly of policy makers and those planning modeling studies, of using statistical models to project the need, demand, and cost of LTC services. The paper first outlines modeling and its importance. Second, it describes key concepts related to LTC need, demand, and measurement. Then, it identifies key issues to consider when designing and using models. A review of recent modeling studies is also summarized, drawing out lessons relevant to low- and middle- income countries.

Full text

Abstract:

Rapid population aging will drive a strong increase in the demand for long-term care services in Latin America and the Caribbean. To inform policy making, in this study we present novel estimates of the number of care dependent older persons in 26 countries of the region. For ten of these countries, estimates are based on existing survey data. For the remaining 16 countries, we use a statistical model to predict the prevalence of care dependence based on the relationship between this condition and age, sex and health status. We also forecast the number of care dependent older persons in the years 2035 and 2050. On average, we find that 14% of the over-65 population is care dependent in 2020, and this average prevalence is predicted to grow to 16% in 2050. Driven mostly by the increase in the size of the older population in the region, the number of care dependent older persons is expected to grow by a factor of three over the same period, from 8 million in 2020 to 23 million in 2050.

Full text

Abstract:

This work analyses the Nordic just green transition from the perspective of a set of target social groups, including unemployed persons and those at risk of unemployment, older adults, children and persons with disabilities. Based on a diverse literature review, comprising peer-reviewed academic papers, legal documents and unpublished reports, the report explores how climate mitigation policies may impact these social groups, both positively and negatively, and thereby sheds light on how such policies may contribute to a just green transition in a Nordic context.

Rodgers, Yana van der Meulen, and Joseph E. Zveglich, Jr. Gender Differences in Access to Health Care Among the Elderly: Evidence from Southeast Asia. Asian Development Bank, February 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.22617/wps210047-2.

Full text

Abstract:

This paper examines gender among other factors that may constrain older persons in Southeast Asia from meeting their health-care needs when sick based on data from Cambodia, the Philippines and Viet Nam. It finds that while women in Cambodia and the Philippines are more likely to seek treatment than men, the gender difference is reversed in Viet Nam where stigma associated with some diseases may more strongly deter women than men. Household survey data from these countries show that the probability of seeking treatment rises with age more sharply for women than men. Yet, for the subsample of elders, the gender difference is not significant.

Full text

Abstract:

Review question / Objective: What is, and how is it expressed, the interaction between the phenomenon of ageism and society's attitude and coping with a disaster situation, such as the Cuvid-19 pandemic in the professional literature? Condition being studied: The covid-19 pandemic is a type of disaster situation, as the impact of pandemics is similar to the impact of other disasters in several respects: a wide range of impact affecting society as a whole, and an increase in uncertainty and long range of impacts. At the same time, pandemics stand out as being a pervasive, unavoidable and invisible danger (Pappas et al., 2009), and this characteristic blocks us from the usual methods that can allow us to regain a sense of control. It can be said that this complex reality has led to a recognition of the need for a deeper understanding of the interaction between the reality of disaster situations (or in this case - a disaster event in the form of a global pandemic), and the phenomenon of ageism, as well as the status and place of older persons in society.

Keane, Claire, Sean Lyons, Mark Regan, and Brendan Walsh. HOME SUPPORT SERVICES IN IRELAND: EXCHEQUER AND DISTRIBUTIONAL IMPACTS OF FUNDING OPTIONS. ESRI, February 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.26504/sustat111.

Full text

Abstract:

A new statutory scheme for the provision of home support services is currently being developed by the Department of Health. Research has shown that access to home support services varies across the country. The new scheme aims to tackle this issue to ensure equitable access to home support services nationwide and is part of wider reform of Ireland’s health and social care systems as envisaged in the Sláintecare report and Department of Health action plans. Publicly funded home support services in Ireland are currently provided free of charge for recipients, unlike long-term residential or nursing home care, which involves a contribution from residents. In 2019, the HSE’s Older Persons’ Services provided care to 53,000 people at a cost of €440 million. It is anticipated that demand for home support services may increase under the new scheme, for example if unmet demand is met or if the new scheme results in more people being able to remain in their own home, substituting away from long-term residential care. Any increased demand would result in an increased cost, which may also rise as the population ages. This report examines the possible introduction of co-payments for home support services. We focus on the likely Exchequer impact of a range of different funding scenarios along with the distributional, poverty and inequality impacts of such charges. Due to data limitations, and the fact that the majority of home support services are provided to older age groups, we focus on those aged 65 years and over. Regarding co-payments we examine the impact of flat-rate charges for users, regardless of means, as well as co-payments for home support recipients above a variety of income levels. The tapering of payments is also examined to ensure that individuals just over a specific income threshold would see co-payments gradually increasing as their income rises. We also consider the capping of co-payments so that those needing a high number of home support hours would not potentially face very high costs.

INPLASY - International Platform of Registered Systematic Review and Meta-analysis Protocols, August 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.37766/inplasy2022.8.0097.

Full text

Abstract:

Review question / Objective: To systematically synthesize the key characteristics (the reach, implementation, efficacy, and safety) of digitally delivered fall and fracture prevention through exercise among community-residing older adults. Rationale: Falls represent a significant cause of preventable injury, contributing to premature morbidity and mortality worldwide(1). Fall risk is multifactorial, and there are numerous strategies to prevent falls, being exercise programs strongly recommended. While there is strong evidence of the effectiveness of targeted exercise in reducing falls and fractures in older adults (2), these are normally delivered in-person by qualified instructors. With the COVID-19 pandemic, the use of technologies for medical care increased substantially(3). Also, services including exercise programs were shut down. The combination of continued reluctance among many older adults to return to in-person programs in addition to their comfort level to exercise from their homes are two main factors that justify the need for digitally delivered programs. To date, little is known about the reach, implementation, efficacy, and safety of exercise programs delivered digitally.
