Wolf, Sherry L. "Homeless young adults caring for their health." Thesis, University of Alaska Anchorage, 2014. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=1555745.
Full textIn this qualitative descriptive study seven homeless young adults in a northern town in Alaska were interviewed for the purpose of finding out how they cared for their health. The common barriers experienced by the participants in caring for their health were identified as hunger, absence of shelter, inattention to health, and the act of asking for help. Common facilitators described by the participants were access to food, resources, support system, and goals. Based on the findings nurses understanding the effects of hunger, lack of sleep, lack of support, and the stress of being homeless will be better able to assess the needs of homeless young adults. Findings support increased knowledge of resources in the community of practice and the culture associated with homelessness to facilitate the young homeless adults' health care and support them in their endeavors to secure a better future. Building a relationship with resource agencies within the nurse's community will enable the nurse to seek the assistance homeless young adults require for meeting their basic needs.

Full textTiivistelmä Tämän epidemiologisen tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli tutkia 1990-luvulla syntyneiden perusterveiden suomalaisten nuorten miesten suun terveyden tilannetta ja siihen vaikuttavia taustatekijöitä. Pilottitutkimuksessa heinäkuussa 2010 testattiin tutkimusprotokolla ja arvioitiin sen soveltuvuus epidemiologiseen tutkimukseen. Pilottitutkimus tehtiin kahdessa Puolustusvoimien varuskunnassa, ja siihen osallistui yhteensä 256 varusmiestä Epidemiologinen tutkimus tehtiin tammikuussa ja heinäkuussa 2011 kahdessakymmenessä varuskunnassa. Kliininen tarkastus tehtiin kaikille alokkaille lukuun ottamatta viittä suurinta varuskuntaa, joissa tutkimukseen valittiin joka viides alokas. Tutkimukseen osallistui yhteensä 13 564 miestä ja 255 naista. Heiltä selvitettiin korjaavan hoidon tarve (DT) ja hoidon historia (DMFT) sekä korkein parodontaalisen hoidon tarve indeksihampaista (CPI). Ikenien vuotoindeksi (BOP) mitattiin 6 596 varusmieheltä. Kliinisen tarkastuksen lisäksi 8 539 varusmiestä vastasi kyselyyn, jolla selvitettiin muun muassa heidän tupakointi-, nuuskaus- ja alkoholinkäyttötottumuksiaan sekä muuta terveyskäyttäytymistä ja sosioekonomisia ja -demografisia taustatietoja. Tulosten perusteella suomalaisten nuorten miesten kariologinen tilanne ei ole enää parantunut vaan jopa hieman huonontunut aiempiin tutkimuksiin verrattuna. Karieskertymä on polarisoitunut tutkimusjoukossa, ja suurin osa löydöksistä oli uusia kariesleesioita. Varusmiehistä jopa 39,6 % tupakoi päivittäin. Tupakoinnin ja lisääntyneen kariologisen ja parodontaalisen hoidon tarpeen sekä huonon terveyskäyttäytymisen välillä havaittiin yhteys. Nuuskaaminen ja alkoholin käyttö eivät vaikuttaneet todettuun kariologisen ja parodontaalisen hoidon tarpeeseen tässä tutkimuksessa. Varusmiehen asuinpaikka vaikutti kariologisen hoidon tarpeeseen, mutta vaikutus väheni, kun terveyskäyttäytyminen otettiin analyyseihin mukaan. Myös varusmiehen omalla sekä hänen vanhempiensa koulutustaustalla oli vaikutusta nuorten miesten suun terveyteen. Tutkimuksen perusteella voidaan sanoa, että suomalaisten nuorten miesten terveyskäyttäytyminen ei tue hyvää suun terveyttä, jonka takia karieksen hallinta tulee olemaan haastavaa myös tulevaisuudessa. Sekä terveyskäyttäytyminen että ympäristö vaikututtavat suun terveyteen, mikä on tärkeä pitää mielessä terveyden edistämistyössä
Carroll, Ellen McLaughlin. "The lived experiences of transition to adult healthcare in young adults with cerebral palsy." Thesis, City University of New York, 2014. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3601861.
Full textBackground: Health Care Transition (HCT) describes the purposeful, planned movement of adolescents from child to adult-orientated care. The purpose of this phenomenological study is to uncover the meaning of transition to adult centered care as experienced by Young Adults with Cerebral Palsy (YA-CP) through the research question: What are the lived experiences of young adults with cerebral palsy transitioning from pediatric to adult healthcare? Method: 6 females and 3 males, aged 19 -25 years of age, who identified as carrying the diagnosis of cerebral palsy without cognitive impairment were interviewed. Giorgi's (1985) method for analysis of phenomenology was the framework for the study and guided the phenomenological reduction. Results: The lived experiences of YA-CPs transition to adult health care, expressed from the data is expert novices with evidence and experience based expectations, negotiating new systems (effective/ineffective) interdependently (parents and provider support) accepting less than was expected. Conclusions: More information and support is needed for the YA-CP during transition to ensure a well-organized move to appropriate adult-oriented health care that is considerate of the lifelong impact of the disorder. Nursing's role as advocate, mentor and guide can optimize the individual's response to the transition process.

Full textHealth is a multidimensional, holistic, concept integrating physical and mental health. In childhood, the most common cause of physical disability is Cerebral Palsy (CP). For individuals with CP, health and well-being is impacted by the complex interactions among their physical impairments, activity, participation and environmental barriers. Although CP is considered non-progressive, secondary conditions (pain and fatigue) and their functional consequences have been found to worsen as the individual with CP ages. While preliminary evidence shows that many of the physical impairments (pain, fatigue, depression) reported in adults with CP begin during late adolescence, there is little information about the role personal and environmental factors, impairments, activity limitations, and participation restrictions have on health and well-being of young adults with CP.
To understand the health and well-being of young adults with CP, the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), a World Health Organization framework, guided the selection of survey instruments for this study. Surveys were sent to 610 young adults (18-30 years) with CP. 95 surveys were returned, 55 were self-reported and 40 were completed by proxies. Increasing severity of impairment was associated with decreased participation in daily activities and social roles, while loss of ambulatory ability, pain, fatigue, depression, and activity level did not differ by severity of impairment. Environmental barriers restricted the level of participation only for the self-report participants. Health status was decreased in those who self-reported increased pain, fatigue, and depression; offset by emotional support. Life satisfaction was decreased by depression and poor health; offset by emotional support.
Addressing the physical impairments, activity limitations, participation restrictions, personal factors and environmental barriers impacting young adults with CP requires coordinated efforts among the medical, educational and vocational systems. These efforts need to begin early with appropriate assessment and treatment of impairments, provision of assistive technologies and augmentative communication, and adaptation of the environment to facilitate participation in activities and social roles. The health and well-being in young adults with CP can also be improved with enhanced emotional support beyond the family unit through peer support groups, mentors, and other adult role models.

Full textCONTEXTE: Les dossiers de santé personnels (DSP) sont des outils qui permettent aux individus d'accéder, de partager et de gérer l'information sur leur santé en ligne. Ils ont obtenu beaucoup d'intérêt et des investissements considérables ces dernières années puisqu'on considère que les DSP ont le potentiel de promouvoir une plus grande implication des patients dans la gestion de leurs propres soins. Malgré l'intérêt public apparent et une prolifération des options, les taux d'adoption des DSP restent faibles. Notre compréhension des raisons pour lesquelles les gens choisissent d'utiliser ou non les DSP et de ce que les différentes populations d'utilisateurs pourraient vouloir d'un tel outil est limitée. En particulier, les jeunes adultes pourraient être un bon groupe à cibler en ce qui concerne les possibilités de prévention avec un DSP puisque la technologie est beaucoup plus intégrée dans leur vie quotidienne.OBJECTIF: Cette étude qualitative descriptive vise donc à explorer les points de vue et les attentes des jeunes adultes en bonne santé à propos de l'utilisation d'un dossier de santé personnel. METHODES: Quatre tables rondes ont été menées avec un total de 29 participants (18-34 ans) dans un milieu communautaire de Montréal, au Canada. Les entrevues ont été transcrites et ensuite analysées avec la méthode d'analyse thématique inductive. RÉSULTATS: En ce qui concerne ce que les jeunes adultes pensent à propos des DSP, trois grands thèmes ont été identifiés: les avantages perçus, les futurs utilisateurs et les préoccupations au sujet des DSP. En terme de ce qu'eux-mêmes attendaient d'un DSP, différents thèmes ont été élaborés: les caractéristiques d'un DSP «idéal»; la contribution des DSP à la santé préventive en prenant plus de contrôle sur leur santé, et l'aspect pratique des DSP. Un cadre conceptuel des facteurs ayant une influence sur les attentes des participants à propos des DSP est proposé. CONCLUSION: Les résultats suggèrent que ce que les jeunes adultes perçoivent comme avantages d'un DSP ne sont pas les mêmes choses qui les motivent à se servir d'une PHR. Cela souligne l'importance de comprendre l'utilisation prévue et les attentes des populations d'utilisateurs spécifiques dans la conception d'un outil centré sur le patient. Le cadre proposé peut constituer une base pour de plus amples recherches sur l'adoption des DSP.

Full textFeedback representing a performer's success for a given response has long been considered a critical factor in motor learning. Numerous studies of learning from augmented feedback have produced ambiguous guidelines for frequency design-some have recommended minimal feedback, whereas others have advocated more extensive feedback. Due to conflicting opinions regarding the frequency of Knowledge of Results, this study aimed to identify how young and old adults retain motor skills when two different frequency schedules of augmented feedback, everytrial and bandwidth are provided in acquisition. The participants performed a ballistic lever movement pattern involving four different target locations in a 1-day retention test. Behavioral outcomes and kinematic movement patterns were analyzed from two groups, young adults (20-30 years) and old adults (above 71 years) from a previously completed experiment. Results revealed that in both the age groups, bandwidth feedback promoted motor learning as compared to every-trial feedback. Further, bandwidth feedback promoted slower movements with longer durations as compared to an every-trial feedback schedule. Additionally, no significant interaction of age with any of the feedback conditions was found, suggesting that the effects of augmented feedback on motor learning are similar in young and old adults.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: Hypertension is on the increase among patients as found on the Routine Monthly Report (RMR) at Kayamandi Clinic. The staggering figures showed that the number of patients with hypertension between January 2009 until December 2009 was 5 754. It was further identified on the Routine Monthly Report (RMR) statistics that, more and more young adults between 18 and 40 years who are visiting the clinic for other health problems are diagnosed with hypertension and its complications. The incident rate of these young adults ranges between 151 and 340 per month. It is very alarming that some of them who are diagnosed with hypertension never return for further follow-up visits and are at risk of debilitating complications which are preventable in later life. The objectives of this study were to determine the knowledge young adult patients have of: • hypertension • the management of hypertension • the complications of hypertension. The study adopted a descriptive, exploratory design with a quantitative approach. The research question determines the research design or approach. In this case a broad overview is necessary of the knowledge young adults at Kayamandi Clinic have on the topic of hypertension. This then serves as a platform for further in-depth studies on this phenomenon. A yes/no scale was used to collect data. The questionnaire was designed in such a way that the participants could understand all the questions. The layout of the questionnaire was easy and the questions were straightforward. The questionnaires were written in English, Xhosa and Afrikaans. After the translation of the questionnaires, a second person scrutinized it for the correctness of the Xhosa translation. An interpreter assisted with the questionnaire in the Xhosa speaking community at the time of data collection, where a language barrier was anticipated. The Cronbach’s alpha test was used to test the reliability of the questionnaire. Informed consent was obtained from each participant. Permission was obtained from the University of Stellenbosch via the Health Research Ethical Committee ((HREC). Permission was also obtained from the Director: Department of Health, Western Cape Province and the authorities of the Cape Wine lands district. A statistician from the University of Stellenbosch was consulted regarding the data analysis and the interpretation of the data. Data was articulated in the form of frequency tables and histograms. The Spearman test was used to determine the correlation between variables. 10% of the participants used in the pilot study were from Cloetesville Clinic and 21% of the participants used for the main study were from Kayamandi Clinic, that is n=210 participants. The results of the study showed that for the n=172 participants that partook in the study, there was a correlation between complications and hypertension but no correlation on lifestyle management. Statistical associations were determined by using the Spearman test on a 95% confidence interval between various variables. The normal descriptive statistical analysis was completed. The implication of the results of this study is that high blood pressure can affect young and old people. Recommendations consist of on going health promotion and continuous education that include both old and young people.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hipertensie is aan die toeneem onder die pasiënte soos gevind in die maandelikse roetine-verslag.Die skokkende syfers soos gerapporteer in die maandelikse roetine-verslag,wys dat die aantal pasiënte met hipertensie by Kayamandi-kliniek van Januarie 2009 tot Desember 2009 was 5 754. Dit is verder geidentifiseer in die maandelikse roetine-verslag dat al hoe meer jong mense tussen die ouderdomsgroep van 18 to 40 jaar oud wat die kliniek vir ander siektetoestande besoek, met hipertensie en verwante komplikasies gediagnoseer word. Die voorkomssyfer van jongmense met hipertensie wissel tussen 151 tot 340 per maand. Dit is sorgwekkend dat sommige van die pasiënte nadat hulle met hipertensie gediagnoseer is, nie terugkeer na die kliniek vir verdere opvolgbesoeke nie en daardeur blootgestel word aan uitmêrgelende komplikasies in hul latere leeftyd wat voorkombaar is. Die doelwitte van die studie is om jong volwasse pasiënte se kennis vas te stel ten opsigte van: • hipertensie • die behandeling van hipertensie • die komplikasies van hipertensie. Die studie neem die vorm van ʼn beskrywende, verkennende ontwerp met ʼn kwantitatiewe benadering aan. Die navorsingsvraag bepaal die navorsingsontwerp of benaderring. In hierdie geval is ʼn breë oorsig nodig van die kennis van jong volwassenes by Kayamandi-kliniek oor die onderwerp aangaande hipertensie. Dit dien dan as basis vir verdere indringende studies rakende hierdie fenomeen. ʼn Ja/nee skaal is gebruik om data te versamel. Die vraelys is ontwerp op ʼn manier sodat die deelnemers dit kan verstaan. Die uitleg van die vraelys is eenvoudig en die vrae maklik. Die vraelys is geskryf in Engels,Xhosa en Afrikaans.Na die vertaling van die vraelys,is dit deur ʼn tweede person wat ook Xhosa magtig is nagegaan om die korrektheid van die vraelys te verseker. ʼn Tolk het gehelp met die vraelys ten tye van data-insamelling in die Xhosa- sprekende gemeenskap, waar taal ʼn moontlike probleem kon wees. Die Cronbach alpha- toets was gedoen om die betroubaarheid van die vraelys te toets. Ingeligte toestemming was verkry van elke deelnemer. Toestemming was verkry van die Universiteit deur middel van die Gesondheids Navorsings Etiese Kommitee (GNEK). Toestemming was ook verkry van die Direkteur: Departement van Gesondheid, Wes Kaap Provinsie en die owerhede van die Kaap Wynland streek. ʼn Statistiekus van die Universiteit van Stellenbosch was geraadpleeg aangaande die data analise. Data was geartikuleer in die vorm van frekwensies in tabelle en histogramme. Die Spearman-toets is gebruik om die korrelasie tussen variante vas te stel .10% van die deelnemers wat vir die loodprojek gebruik is, is van Cloetesville-kliniek. 21% van die deelnemers wat vir die hoofstudie gebruik is, is van die Kayamandi-kliniek , dus ʼn total van n=210 deelnemers. Die studie het bewys dat vir n=172 deelnemers wat aan die studie deelgeneem het, daar ʼn korrelasie tussen die komplikasies en die hipertensie toestand is, maar geen korrelasie met leefstylgewoontes is gevind nie. Statistiese assosiasies is bepaal deur gebruik te maak van die Spearman-toets op ʼn 95%-interval tussen verskeie variante. Die normale, beskrywende statistiese analise is voltooi. Die implikasie van die resultate van die studie, is dat hoë bloeddruk jonk en ouer mense affekteer. Aanbevelings dui op aanhoudende gesondheids promosies en voortdurende opvoeding wat jonk en ouer persone insluit.

Full textLes gens âgés ont une démarche plus lente, ce qui peut être attribué à une perception fautive de la vitesse du flux optique (FO). Il a déjà été démontré que les personnes âgées ont une capacité altérée à discriminer la vitesse de stimuli visuels décrivant des FO à différentes vitesses. On ne sait toujours pas si cette perception déficiente explique que leur vitesse de marche soit plus lente et que leur démarche soit moins adaptée aux demandes contextuelles. Le but de cette étude était de comparer le seuil de discrimination de la vitesse et l'adaptation de la vitesse de marche chez des jeunes personnes et des personnes âgées en bonne santé. J'ai aussi examiné la relation entre la perception de la vitesse et l'habilité à contrôler la vitesse de marche. Douze jeunes adultes (23.0 ± 2.4 ans) et douze adultes plus âgées (68.8 ± 4.4 ans) ont participé à une évaluation de la perception de la vitesse et à deux évaluations de la démarche. Lors de l'expérience de perception de la vitesse, les participants étaient en position assise et portaient un casque de réalité virtuelle illustrant leur déplacement le long d'un corridor à différentes vitesses. Ensuite, les participants devaient identifier laquelle des deux scènes présentées était la plus rapide. Les seuils de perception de la vitesse ont été mesurés par la moyenne géométrique des huit derniers changements de vitesse. Lors des tâches de marche, les participants marchaient sur un tapis roulant auto-rythmé en portant un casque de réalité virtuelle montrant des scènes présentées à des vitesses de FO variant de 0,25 à 2 fois leur vitesse de marche confortable. Lors du premier test de marche, les participants devaient marcher la longueur du corridor qui décrivaient des vitesses variées de FO (condition expérimentale) et ce, durant la même période de temps qu'un essai précédent illustrant un FO équivalant à leur vitesse confortable de marche (condition contrôle). Lors de la deuxième session, on a demandé aux participants de marcher à une vitesse équivalente à la vitesse du FO présentée dans l'environnement virtuel. La modulation de la vitesse de marche a été mesurée selon la pente entre les changements de vitesse de marche et les changements de vitesses du FO (premier test de marche) et avec les erreurs absolues de vitesse de marche par rapport à la vitesse cible (deuxième test de marche). Les adultes plus âgés ont démontré des seuils plus élevés de discrimination des vitesses, des pentes plus atténuées et de plus grandes marges d'erreurs de vitesse lorsque comparés aux jeunes adultes. Parmi le groupe plus âgé, les seuils de discrimination des vitesses n'étaient pas reliés de façon significative aux habiletés à moduler la vitesse de marche, tel que mesurés par les pentes et les erreurs de vitesse. Ces résultats indiquent que le vieillissement affecte autant l'habileté à percevoir les vitesses du FO que celle à moduler sa vitesse de marche en réponse aux changements de vitesse de FO. Ces observations suggèrent qu'une mauvaise perception de mouvements visuels pourrait être un des facteurs contribuant au déclin de la mobilité chez les personnes âgées.

Methods: Using purposive sampling, 23 individuals were recruited for five focus groups and four individual interviews in Juneau, Alaska. Following a social marketing framework, the research assessed participant beliefs about the benefits and negative impacts of smoking, barriers to quitting, and preferred quit support methods, as well as participant reactions to particular anti-smoking advertisements and quit support methods.
Results: Almost all participants reported an interest in quitting smoking. Stress relief, boredom relief, relaxation, and oral satisfaction were the main benefits of smoking. Downsides to smoking included negative short-term health impacts, negative impacts on children in the extended family, and negative cosmetic impacts. Barriers to quitting included loss of listed benefits, addiction and habit, fatalism, and the high prevalence of smoking among family and friends. The preferred method of quitting was cold turkey (unassisted quitting), with very few participants reporting use of counseling or pharmacotherapy. Participants preferred high emotional level anti-smoking advertisements with either strongly negative emotional valence (e.g., fear and disgust) or strongly positive emotional valence (e.g., joy, happiness). Reaction to quit support methods was most favorable to texting support and a smart phone app, and most negative toward a smart phone video game. Reaction to counseling was strongly supportive among those who had tried it and largely but not totally negative among those who had not.
Conclusion: Young Alaska Native adults in Juneau who smoke are interested in quitting but prefer cold turkey to counseling and pharmacotherapy. They are more concerned about short-term than long-term health impacts, and they are sensitive to the impact of smoking on their appearance and on children in their extended family. Findings formed a foundation for a proposed social-marketing based intervention.

Full textBackground: Social and health supports provided during young adulthood can have long lasting health implications. Racial and ethnic minorities will soon comprise the majority of this population in the US and are more likely to experience poverty with poor access to health services. Oral health has been identified as a health disparity for young adults in the general population as well as those living with HIV (YALWH). Identifying and addressing barriers to oral healthcare are important for the long-term improvement of overall health outcomes for YALWH.
Methods: This mixed methods cross-sectional study includes: 1) an in-person quantitative survey and a semi-structured qualitative interview of YALWH between the ages of 17 and 25 years of age, 2) an online and in person survey of general and pediatric dentists and clinical dental hygienists and 3) a focus group with dental clinic support staff of a hospital based dental clinic.
Results: YALWH expressed the importance of oral health in their lives; a clean mouth and straight white teeth impacts how they judge others and, they assume, how others judge them. Barriers to care identified across all study groups included dental insurance, HIV disclosure and dental fear.
Conclusions: Oral healthcare for YALWH can be affected by individual and systemic factors including provider communication skills, provider knowledge of HIV, limitations of healthcare delivery systems and the expectations of the individual patient. These factors are important considerations for health policy makers and oral health professionals in their efforts to address oral health disparities for YALWH.
