Resumen

BackgroundHygienic behavior as such belongs to health behavior, acquired at home, at school, at workplace or through the mass-media.ObjectiveThe aim of the study was to analyze the perception of personal hygiene among different age groups and the sociodemographic factors related to hygiene behavior.Material and methodsThe author’s questionnaire for children and seniors concerning selected hygienic behavior was used. The questionnaire was conducted in two groups: 200 primary school children in age: 8-11 years; 109 girls and 91 boys and 200 older people: young-old (60-74 years) and old-old (75+); 110 women and 90 men.ResultsGirls longer than boys take morning hygiene behavior, but statistically boys spend more time on evening washing, cleaning and brushing. Seniors hygienic behavior depend on age: young-old are more likely take a shower every day (51.79%) than seniors in the old-old group (29.86%). The same statistically significant difference was noticed in case of washing hands before a meal.ConclusionsChildren care more about personal hygiene than older people. Age, not gender, is a factor determining the frequency of hygiene practices among older people. Young-old care more about personal hygiene than old-old.

Resumen

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to design and to implement an oral health educational strategy that targeted an older population residing in three social protection centers (SPC) in Villavicencio, Colombia. Design/methodology/approach The first phase consisted in determining the oral health of older citizens in the SPC. To do this, the research group gathered patients’ personal information and indices. The second phase consisted in the development of an educational strategy based on the population’s requirements. The educational strategy, focusing on oral hygiene and denture care, was implemented for the older people and their caregivers. The third and final phase consisted in the research group measuring the effect of the designed strategy by repeating oral diagnoses for the older people six months after strategy implementation. Findings The results of the assessment indicated that implementing a strategy to strengthen oral hygiene care was positive, given that statistically significant reductions were observed in the soft plaque index and the Gingival Index (p<0.05). Research limitations/implications As a result of the complexity of the population, the data obtained after the strategy was implemented were significantly reduced. However, these results indicate that an educational strategy can have an effect on this type of population. Originality/value Implementing a strategy that promotes oral hygiene education and brushing skills, fosters good oral behavior and helps the older people in SPC to remember the information taught, thus contributing to their oral hygiene.

Resumen

A great challenge for the dental service is to support the growing group of elderly people with preserving good oral health throughout their lives. Limitations in the ability to manage oral hygiene and an increased number of risk factors are often reflected by poor oral health. Thus, the need for individualized support and oral health procedures based on the older person’s condition is significant. Deficiencies in the motor skills needed to manage oral hygiene are well known, but other factors that affect the ability are not well studied. The aim of the present study was to identify factors that may affect an elderly person’s ability to perform oral hygiene self-care, which is the first step to develop a more comprehensive “oral hygiene ability index.” The design of the study was qualitative. Data were collected from 4 focus group interviews with a total of 23 participants. Three of the groups consisted of dental hygienists, occupational therapists, and assistant nurses, all working with elderly persons. The fourth group was made up of elderly people (72–89 years). Content analysis was used to analyze the data. The latent content was formulated into the core category, “oral hygiene—a complex activity.” Three categories emerged: “psychological,” “environmental,” and “functional” dimensions. The psychological dimension described attitude/motivation, emotions, and cognitive factors. The environmental dimension included practical conditions and social context. The functional dimension dealt with bodily and oral function as well as the senses. In conclusion, self-care with respect to oral hygiene is a complex activity for elderly persons and includes a large number of factors. These factors should be taken into consideration when developing a future oral hygiene ability index. Knowledge Transfer Statement: Various factors may affect the ability to manage oral hygiene self-care. Impaired ability to manage oral hygiene, in combination with an increased number of risk factors, often results in deteriorating oral health and impaired quality of life in older persons. Factors necessary to manage oral hygiene were identified in a qualitative study of dental hygienists, occupational therapists, and assistant nurses, all working with elderly patients, and a group of elderly persons. The results of this study may be important for clinical oral health work with older patients and for the planning of oral health and social care interventions for the growing group of older people.

Resumen

Oral health care plays a part in the integral recovery of hospitalized older people. Based on that, this study characterized the oral health care of hospitalized older people in a Brazilian public hospital. Through application of questionnaires, this cross-sectional study assessed oral health care practice by hospital nursing staff (n=31), companions (n=134) and hospitalized older people (n=200) of a public hospital in Southern Brazil. Clinical examination was conducted by two previously calibrated examiners to screen the oral health condition of the patients, considering the presence of cavitated lesions, residual roots, visible biofilm, calculus, gum inflammation and bleeding. Data were analysed descriptively. Nursing staff limits oral health assessment to surgical procedures; 55% of nurses and 58% of companions do not supervise the oral hygiene, but 81% and 96%, respectively, claim to perform oral hygiene of elderly with difficulties to do so. The elderly (51%) claimed to brush their teeth 3x/day or more; yet, their oral health was characterized by the presence of visible biofilm, calculus, gingival inflammation and bleeding and decayed teeth. Oral health advisory or assessment is not part of the hospital routine. Companions and hospital nursing staff are willing to receive oral health care information. Poor oral health was observed in hospitalized older people, which would probably be enhanced by an interdisciplinary educational approach towards oral health care to older patients.

Resumen

In this study we describe the dental status and oral hygiene practices in institutionalized older people and identify factors associated with poor dental status. A cross-sectional study was performed in a nursing home in Fortaleza, the capital of Ceará State (northeast Brazil). The number of decayed, missing, and filled teeth (DMFT) was assessed in the residents of the nursing home (; mean age = 76.6 years). The mean DMFT value was 29.7; the mean number of missing teeth was 28.4. Ninety-three (58.1%) were edentulous. Almost 90% practiced oral hygiene, but only about half used a toothbrush. Only 8% had visited a dentist in the preceding three months. Most of the variables regarding oral hygiene habits (such as the use of toothbrush, frequency of oral hygiene per day, regular tooth brushing after meals) did not show any significant association with the DMFT. In multivariate regression analysis, age, general literacy level, and practice of oral hygiene were independently associated with the DMFT (). Institutionalized older people in northeast Brazil have poor dental status, and oral hygiene practices are insufficient. Dental health education is needed focusing on the special needs of this neglected and socioeconomically deprived population to improve their quality of life.

Resumen

Background: Much attention has been paid to advocate proper oral care/hygiene provision by healthcare providers in long-term care institutions (LTCIs). This study aimed to evaluate the effects of an oral health education (OHE) programme (intervention) on knowledge, attitudes, and practice (KAP) of healthcare providers in providing oral care/hygiene to older residents in LTCIs. Methods: A case control study was conducted at two LTCIs, with one assigned as the intervention group and the other as the control group. A KAP survey was administered before and after the intervention, and oral status was assessed by standardized clinical photographs taken before and after oral hygiene provision on three older residents. Results: A total of 40 healthcare providers (20 in intervention and 20 in control groups) participated, with the attitudes and overall KAP significantly improved in the intervention group after the OHE programme. Interestingly, the knowledge of those in the control LTCI was significantly declined at re-evaluation (mean scores were from 17.25 to 14.30), indicating inadequate oral health and care training despite having more experience in taking care of older people. Significant differences in practice were observed between the two groups after the OHE programme (p = 0.006). The three older residents exhibited poor oral health and multiple oral problems. Conclusions: This study revealed that the OHE programme effectively improved attitudes of the healthcare providers and provided a sustaining effect on attitude towards oral health and oral care. However, there were still inadequacies in oral hygiene provision by some healthcare providers, possibly due to unattended oral diseases and hygiene needs, as well as personal and environmental barriers that merit further investigation. Regular evaluation and enforcement of oral care/hygiene provision in LTCIs are necessary to maintain oral health and prevent dental and gum diseases in older residents. Immediate referral for dental treatment is recommended for older people with signs of dental/oral disease(s).

Resumen

Abstract Ageism toward older people is prevalent in Korean healthcare settings, where older adults are likely to encounter other age groups of people. However, not many studies took close attention to ageism in the dental hygiene field. Considering the increase in dental care demand among the older population, this study aims to investigate the level of ageism and the factors associated with ageism among Korean dental hygiene undergraduates and dental hygienists. Based on the convenience sampling strategy, a total of 146 online surveys were collected from July to September 2022 in Seoul and Daejeon, Korea. Aging anxiety, ageist attitude, intergenerational contact measures, demographic characteristics, and geriatric-related experiences of participants were asked. Higher scores indicate lower aging anxiety and higher ageism. The mean (±SD) age of participants was 24 (±6.05) years. The mean score of aging anxiety was 2.97 (±.52) out of 5 and the mean score of ageism was 2.10 (±.31) out of 7. In the multiple regression model, aging anxiety is significantly associated with ageism (β = −0.257, p < 0.001). Participants feeling more anxious about aging have a more ageist attitude toward older people. The results suggest that well-designed gerontological education and intergenerational programs are necessary. In the short term, these efforts will decrease the fear of aging among dental hygiene field workers. In the long term, these will help them have the right understanding of aging and a positive attitude toward older people which can affect the quality of dental care service.

Resumen

Background: Oral health is associated with general health but often remains neglected in residential care settings. Integration of oral care into general care is necessary, but literature shows that appropriate oral care is hampered by multiple barriers. Among older people, attitudes towards oral health and oral care are poor, as they are often unaware of the importance of oral health. The lack of ability to perform their own oral care, due to ageing, is also a perceived barrier. This study is part of research on the implementation of the new Oral Health Section (OHS) in the interRAI assessment of general care needs of nursing home residents. The aim of the study is to identify older people’s experiences with their own oral health, with the oral care performed, their perception of the importance of oral care, as well as their meaning about the assessment of their oral health using. Setting and participants: Care-dependent older people living in 3 Flemish nursing homes. Methods: In-depth interviews were performed and the Oral Health-Related Quality of Life 14 (OHIP-14) instrument was completed. This validated instrument measures the degree of self-rated oral health and satisfaction with the oral health status. The OHS was also filled out, which assesses whether they need assistance with daily oral hygiene care (Oral Hygiene CAP) and whether they need to be referred to a dentist (Dentist CAP). Interviews were coded, validated and discussed by 2 researchers and analysed in the software Nvivo1.7. Results: A total of 22 care-dependent older people were interviewed. The mean age of the sample was 84.5 (± 8.2 SD) and 63.6% were female. A total of 11 participants (50%) had no teeth but wore dentures; the others still had their natural teeth. The mean score of the OHIP-14 was 3.9 (range 0-56), indicating good scores for oral health-related quality of life. All older people who still had their natural teeth found it important to keep them in the future. Most older people were satisfied with their own oral health (81.8%), although, according to the results of the CAPs, 86.4% of them scored poorly on the assessment of oral hygiene and 68.2% needed immediate referral to a dentist. This shows that older people tend to overestimate their own oral health and are often satisfied, despite having several oral health problems. Conclusions/implications: The study provided information about the perceptions and experiences of older people regarding their oral health and oral care. Learning about their experiences and perceptions can help to identify their wishes and needs, making it possible to improve daily oral care and proactively develop strategies to provide effective dental care for the future older population. Policy makers can use these results to foster the integration of oral care guidelines into care protocols within nursing homes, as well as support collaboration with dentists and dental hygienists within care facilities.

Resumen

Dementia is characterized by a range of cognitive defects with impaired activities of daily living that have implications for patient oral health. Objectives. A case-control study was made of the impact of dementia upon oral health. A total of 152 patients were included: 69 with dementia and 83 controls from the region of Murcia (Spain). The Global Deterioration Scale (GDS) was used to classify the patients and an oral exploration was carried out. Odds ratios (ORs) and confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated using regression models. The patients with more severe disease were significantly more likely to have fewer natural teeth (OR 11.00, 95%CI 1.28–23.22; p = 0.001), a higher plaque index (p = 0.001), and a greater bleeding index (p = 0.001) than the control group. These findings suggest that older adults with dementia have deficient oral health. A higher bleeding index increases the risk of deterioration of cognitive function. The oral hygiene and health of older people with dementia need to be improved.

Resumen

Background: Listeriosis is a serious foodborne infection with significant rates of morbidity and mortality in the older population. The majority of food safety research has focused on food behaviour, practices and perceptions of 'risk'; isolating actions from their social and health context and historical significance. The alternative, positive and novel approach presented in this dissertation is to identify the accumulated resources, or health 'assets', that older people draw upon in daily life at home to protect themselves against foodborne illness informing future health promotion interventions. This research will also further the theoretical development of the 'asset model' and its contribution to health promotion theory and practice. Methods: There were three chronological phases to the study. Phase I: Sought to gather contextual information about the older people recruited in Phase II through the collection of socio-demographic, health and summary current food hygiene asset related data collected through a researcher completed questionnaire at i) five AgeUK lunch clubs ii) one County Council-run lunch club and iii) via a 'University of the Third Age' webpage advert across Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire. Fifty respondents were recruited via self-selection (20 men, 30 women, mean age of 78.98 years (SD 8.82) mean Visual Analogue Scale of subjective health, 6.89 cm/10cm). Quantitative data were analyzed using SPSS. Phase II: Fifteen semi-structured interviews with older people selected via purposive sampling from the questionnaire cohort to seek their accounts of how food is acquired, stored and cooked and the historical events and influences that shaped these practices (7 men and 8 women, mean age 77.87 (SD 8.06) years, mean Visual Analogue Scale of subjective health, 6.62cm/10cm). Phase III: Three semi-structured interviews with sheltered housing staff in Buckinghamshire recruited via snow-ball sampling. Qualitative data were analyzed using a Grounded Theory approach with NVivo software. Results and Discussion: All of the data indicated that older people have a multiplicity of external food hygiene assets through which to acquire 'safe' and 'fresh' food. Differences in the frequency and type of external asset utilisation were identified between men and women and those reporting severe restrictions in activities of daily living recorded by the EQ5D Quality of Life tool from the questionnaire employed in Phase I. The qualitative data from Phases II and III indicated that food hygiene assets were contextdependent, many being accumulated through the life course and fulfilling non-food related purposes. A number of historically formed internal assets were also identified which served to either facilitate or hinder access to the external food hygiene assets. Members of the social network, specifically the family, were identified as being the principal food hygiene asset throughout the life course from all data sources, fulfilling the newly conceptualised role of 'foodcarers' in the lives of (older) people in a context-dependent manner. Conclusions: The cause of foodborne infections in the older population may be influenced by complex historical factors beyond specific food hygiene knowledge and practice. Current competing or allied concerns in daily life may also serve to motivate or demotivate the employment of 'safe' food hygiene practice. Strategies aimed to reduce the incidence of foodborne illness in the older population could be addressed by placing health promotion within the home setting through the mobilisation of the social network. The contextdependent nature of asset mobilisation has called in to question the validity of some sections of the asset model for use in negotiated small-scale health promotion initiatives and whether the model can serve as a coherent whole.

Resumen

Food consumption patterns and their association with nutrient intake in 290 homebound elderly living in Sherbrooke, Quebec were: investigated. Dietary data were collected using three repeated non-consecutive 24-hour recalls and sociodemographic, physical, physiological and psychosocial characteristics were measured. Factor and cluster analyses were used to define food patterns. Due to the homogeneous dietary patterns of this population, neither the five factors nor six clusters formed were distinct. There were few dietary predictors of nutrient intake as mean intakes of energy, folacin, calcium, vitamin D and zinc by subjects in all clusters were inadequate. Protein intakes were also marginal. Eating beef predicted higher intakes of protein, niacin and zinc for women. Smoking predicted both poorer food choices and nutrient intake. A diagnosis of emphysema predicted higher food intakes. Recommended dietary changes for this population include increased consumption of dairy products and other protein sources as well as energy-dense foods in order to increase micronutrient intake and prevent weight loss in some individuals.

Resumen

The purpose of the study was to examine nutrition knowledge of elderly congregate meal site participants with particular interest directed towards nutrition risk levels and the demographic characteristics of education, age, and gender. The population utilized in this study were 120 elderly, both male and female, over the age of 60 years who attended ten congregate meal sites in Allen County, Indiana and who volunteered to participate. The researcher administered a 25 question nutrition knowledge survey and the 10 question Determine Your Nutritional Health Checklist at the meal sites. The study was designed to determine if there was a significant difference in nutrition knowledge among elderly at congregate meal sites who exhibit varying nutrition risk, education, and age levels and between elderly men and women. The conclusion was that there was a significant difference between nutrition knowledge of men and women with women scoring more correct answers on the survey. Although not shown statistically other preliminary findings suggest the need for further research; a greater proportion of females than males were in the lowest nutrition risk level; the 60-74 years olds had a higher nutrition knowledge average score than did the two older groups. Further, those with 9-11 years of education and in the lowest nutrition risk level (all females) had the highest nutrition knowledge score; and males with less than eight years of education had the lowest nutrition knowledge score and a preponderance of those were in the moderate or high risk level. The researcher also concluded that more nutrition education is needed for these participants, but it must be geared to their learning level to be effective.

Resumen

Energy and nutrient intake from congregate meals (CM), noncongregate meals (NCM) and total daily intake (TDI) was studied for differences associated with age, income, education, marital status, gender, race, vitamin-mineral supplementation, Body Mass Index, Health Assessment, Activities of Daily Living (ADL) and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL).TDI was less than 100 percent of Recommended Dietary Allowances for energy, vitamin B6, calcium, magnesium and zinc. Men, single and divorced subjects, and those most educated had significantly greatest intake for various nutrients from CM and TDI; widows had the least. Racial effect was mixed. Young-old had greatest intakes from NCM and TDI. High intake from CM plus NCM did not make TDI adequate.CM was significantly associated with transportation (IADL) and walking (ADL). Those with some problems had lowest nutrient intakes; those with none, the greatest. For toileting (ADL), NCM and TDI intakes were greatest for those with considerable difficulty; lowest for those with some.

Resumen

Older people are the world’s fastest growing population group. By 2050 eighty per cent of older persons will live in what are now developing countries. There is established and growing evidence of the difficulties families in developing countries are experiencing in providing adequate support for their older members. This thesis explores how international development is responding to the interests of older people. The research examines how older people are represented in international development discourse and illustrates the impact of this on practice. This is informed by a comparative analysis with the progress of women in development. A critical discourse analysis of a corpus of texts from intergovernmental agencies illustrates the degree of visibility of older people in the development discourse. A case study of the work of inter-government organisations in West Bengal, India, shows how this can impact on grassroots activity. An original conceptual framework is introduced which aligns the dominant development paradigms with the dominant perspectives on older people emerging from this research. To the best of my knowledge this is the first research study to consider the (in)visibility of older people in international development discourse and to look at its implications on policy and practice. It highlights that a concentration of development resources at one end of the age spectrum to increase life expectancy is being met with an absence of planned support to meet the consequences when people successfully reach old age. The research further shows that when visible, older people are generally viewed as a homogeneous group in need of support and care, and not as citizens able to contribute and participate in development. The research illustrates a connection between global discourse and local practice in relation to older people and indicates a need for further studies to assess the extent of the links and to examine how local practice could inform the international development discourse.

Resumen

AbstractAlthough the social structure of Turkish society has changed from a broad family order to a nuclear family, family relations still hold an important place, where traditional elements dominate. Still, elderly people are cared for by their family in their home environment. Thus, the role of family members is crucial in taking care of elderly individuals. In Turkey, the responsibility of care is largely on women; the elderly’s wife, daughter, or daughter-in-law most often provides the care. Family members who provide care need support so that they can maintain their physical, psychological and mental health. At this point, Antonovsky’s salutogenic health model represents a positive and holistic approach to support individual’s health and coping. The salutogenic understanding of health emphasizes both physical, psychological, social, spiritual and cultural resources which can be utilized not only to avoid illness, but to promote health.With the rapidly increasing ageing population globally, health expenditures and the need for care are increasing accordingly. This increase reveals the importance of health-promoting practices in elderly care, which are important for the well-being and quality of life of older individuals and their families, as well as cost effectiveness. In Turkey, the emphasis on health-promoting practices is mostly focused in home-care services including examination, treatment, nursing care, medical care, medical equipment and device services, psychological support, physiotherapy, follow-up, rehabilitation services, housework (laundry, shopping, cleaning, food), personal care (dressing, bathroom, and personal hygiene help), 24-h emergency service, transportation, financial advice and training services within the scope of the social state policy for the elderly 65 years and older, whereas medical management of diseases serves elderly over the age of 85. In the Turkish health care system, salutogenesis can be used in principle for two aims: to guide health-promotion interventions in health care practice, and to (re)orient health care practice and research. The salutogenic orientation encompasses all elderly people independently of their position on the ease-/dis-ease continuum. This chapter presents health-promotion practices in the care of elderly home-dwelling people living in Turkey.

Resumen

In the course of a scientific study devoted to the development of a set of measures to extend the professional and labor longevity of older people (60+), regional features of the structure of the working population of Primorsky Krai were identified and characterized. The proportion of people aged 60 and over was 26.3% of the total adult population of Primorsky Krai, and in the structure of the labor force, the share of older people was 8.0%. The average annual number of employees at enterprises and organizations engaged in economic activities «education» «activities in the field of health and social services» amounted to 116,828 people (12.5%), of which the elderly (60+) — 19.4%. Hygienic assessment of working conditions of medical, pharmaceutical and pedagogical workers showed a harmful (3) class of working conditions of 1‑3 degrees.

Resumen

The COVID19 pandemic has had chain effects on older people, this pandemic being a socially experienced disease, on several layers, from the structural exterior imposed by social isolation to the inner psychological isolation. In addition to the general health and hygiene measures imposed by the pandemic, there have been specific care measures, especially for people with reduced mobility or even for patients confined to bed. The reduction in funding for private social service providers has led to a reduction in the number of beneficiaries, limiting their access to the care they need. Thus, the objective of this paper is to highlight the main forms of social protection for the elderly, but also the vulnerabilities of the elderly manifested during the pandemic caused by the COVID-19 virus. A number of good practice models for supporting older people during the pandemic are also presented. During periods of social isolation, there have been some ways to help religious seniors use their faith to ease their anxiety during this COVID-19 pandemic, such as spending time praying, listening to religious services, or caring for neighbours. Meeting their emotional needs/physical needs – there is no better way to reduce anxiety and social isolation than by extending a helping hand to other people in need.

Resumen

INTRODUCTION Despite a likely high burden of disease caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae in humanitarian crises, pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCV’s) are rarely used in such settings. Routine immunisation is rarely feasible in crises, and there is little evidence on alternative delivery strategies for PCV. We used modelling to evaluate the effects of different vaccination strategies within humanitarian crisis settings, aiming to identify those which could quickly reduce and sustain low transmission of vaccine serotypes. METHODS We conducted a nested carriage and contact survey in a camp for internally displaced people (IDP) in Somaliland to parameterise a transmission model and used it to assess the potential impact and optimal age targeting of PCV campaigns. We extrapolated this model to other representative humanitarian crisis settings: an acute-phase IDP camp, a protracted crisis in a rural setting, and an urban setting with mixed IDP and host communities. For each we explored the impact and efficiency of campaigns with different target age groups and dosing strategies. ETHICS This study was approved by the Ethics Review Boards of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and the Republic of Somaliland Ministry of Health Development. RESULTS We found high prevalence of nasopharyngeal carriage of Streptococcus pneumoniae; 37% (95% confidence interval (CI), 32-42) in all ages, and 76% (95% CI, 70-82) in children <5 years in the Somaliland IDP camp. 53% (95% CI, 45-61) of serotypes are included in the PCV13 vaccine. People had, on average, 9 (9-10) contacts per day, with high mixing rates between children and intergenerational contacts in older age groups. Our model projects that, for the Somaliland IDP camp, a single PCV campaign including children <5 years can temporarily establish substantial herd protection, averting 37% (95% credible interval (CrI) 24-48) of invasive pneumococcal disease cases in the 2 years following the campaign. Extending age eligibility to children up to 10 or 15 years old could further increase this impact by 49% (95% CrI, 39-50) and 53% (95% CrI, 40-64) respectively. Increased migration rates and close contact with unvaccinated host populations reduces the impact. These factors might require wider age targeting and more frequent repeat campaigns until routine services could be re-established. CONCLUSION We show that PCV campaigns could be an effective option to reduce the burden of pneumococcal disease in humanitarian crises until routine immunisation can be implemented. Our results are based on modelled estimates, intervention studies are needed to evaluate their feasibility and effectiveness in real settings. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST None declared

Resumen

There are estimated to be around 900 million older adults (aged 60 years and above), around 13 per cent of the world population. The COVID-19 pandemic helped shed light on the specific needs of older people as a group more susceptible to severe disease/infection, and revealed the lack of capacity within water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) NGOs to respond to these specific needs. This SLH Learning Paper explores the WASH needs of older people in both development and humanitarian contexts, as well as the fundamental role older people play in facilitating other people’s WASH access, health, and wellbeing. The paper refers to the data WASH actors collect on older people in order to understand their differing WASH needs, the barriers to accessing WASH, and the need to ensure older people’s participation, including their active role in helping find the solutions. Recommendations are made for planning with communities and programme design; WASH programme implementation and to reduce environmental barriers.

Resumen

The Bishesta campaign – a menstrual health intervention for people with intellectual disabilities and their caregivers in Nepal, was developed to help improve menstrual health for this population in non-humanitarian settings (Wilbur et al. 2021a). The campaign was developed by the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) and WaterAid and delivered in collaboration with the disability service provider, the Down Syndrome Society Nepal, and the Centre for Integrated Urban Development, a local WASH non-government organisation. Following a positive feasibility study (Wilbur et al. 2019a), the Bishesta campaign was ready for efficacy testing or adapting for another context. Due to the lack of attention to people with disabilities’ menstrual health during emergencies, World Vision and the LSHTM adapted the Bishesta campaign for humanitarian responses in Vanuatu and called it the Veivanua campaign. This Frontiers of Sanitation issue presents: the research that preceded the development of these campaigns, the two campaigns, explains the adaptation process, and documents critical considerations for others wishing to revise the campaigns for different settings. This issue will interest practitioners working in menstrual health for people with and without disabilities in the development or humanitarian context.

Resumen

This report presents an overview of a novel community-based intervention for older people living in deprived neighbourhoods in the Brazilian city of Belo Horizonte: Programa Maior Cuidado (PMC). Since 2011 PMC has been jointly run by the municipal Departments of Health and Social Assistance to support dependent older people living in vulnerable families. These families receive up to 20 hours of support a week from professional family care support workers. Health centres and social assistance posts hold joint monthly case reviews and work closely with family care support workers to anticipate and respond to new problems. Between 2011 and December 2022, 3,062 families had received support or were continuing to do so. Drawing on a set of qualitative and quantitative evaluations, we show that PMC operates effectively and appears to generate a range of positive effects. These effects include enhanced health and wellbeing of older people, reducing the stress and burden of family carers and improving the efficiency of outpatient and inpatient health service use. PMC also provides a valuable livelihood opportunity for the caregivers it employs. A cost analysis estimates that the monthly per capita cost of PMC in April 2023 was 916.2 reais (US$173), which is substantially less than alternative interventions. These positive evaluations have led Belo Horizonte municipality to extend the scheme and the Federal Ministry of Health to support similar pilots in new cities. Future evaluations of these pilot schemes will add to the available evidence about PMC and its potential suitability for other parts of Brazil and similar countries.

Resumen

This review examined the intersections between mental health and sexual assault and abuse. It aimed to identify key learnings related to service delivery and responses to improve mental health outcomes for people impacted by sexual assault and abuse. It reviewed themes related to sexual abuse and/or assault and mental illness in adulthood including assistance seeking, negative responses to disclosure and risk factors for poorer mental health among survivors. In relation to service delivery and responses, key themes included: important principles of care, service and support availability, trauma-informed models, staffing, coordination between sectors and providers and holistic approaches to care. Significant gaps in the evidence were found related to people with disability, older people, refugees and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

Resumen

The monitoring and evaluation (M&E) Guidelines and Framework presented in this document (and in the accompanying M&E Indicator Framework) aim to encourage stakeholders in the rural sanitation and hygiene sector to take a more comprehensive, comparable and people focused approach to monitoring and evaluation. Many M&E frameworks currently reflect the interests and ambitions of particular implementing agencies – that is, community-led total sanitation (CLTS) interventions focused on open-defecation free (ODF) outcomes in triggered communities; market-based sanitation interventions focused on the number of products sold and whether sanitation businesses were profitable; and sanitation finance interventions reporting the number of facilities built using financial support. Few M&E frameworks have been designed to examine the overall sanitation and hygiene situation – to assess how interventions have affected sanitation and hygiene outcomes across an entire area (rather than just in specific target communities); to look at who (from the overall population) benefitted from the intervention, and who did not; to report on the level and quality of service used; or examine whether public health has improved. Since 2015, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have extended and deepened the international monitoring requirements for sanitation and hygiene. The 2030 SDG sanitation target 6.2 includes requirements to: • Achieve access to adequate sanitation and hygiene for all • Achieve access to equitable sanitation and hygiene for all • End open defecation • Pay special attention to the needs of women and girls • Pay special attention to those in vulnerable situations The 2030 SDG sanitation target calls for universal use of basic sanitation services, and for the elimination of open defecation, both of which require M&E systems that cover entire administration areas (i.e. every person and community within a district) and which are able to identify people and groups that lack services, or continue unsafe practices. Fortunately, the SDG requirements are well aligned with the sector trend towards system strengthening, in recognition that governments are responsible both for the provision of sustainable services and for monitoring the achievement of sustained outcomes. This document provides guidelines on the monitoring and evaluation of rural sanitation and hygiene, and presents an M&E framework that outlines core elements and features for reporting on progress towards the 2030 SDG sanitation target (and related national goals and targets for rural sanitation and hygiene), while also encouraging learning and accountability. Given wide variations in the ambition, capacity and resources available for monitoring and evaluation, it is apparent that not all of the M&E processes and indicators described will be appropriate for all stakeholders. The intention is to provide guidelines and details on useful and progressive approaches to monitoring rural sanitation and hygiene, from which a range of rural sanitation and hygiene duty bearers and practitioners – including governments, implementation agencies, development partners and service providers – can select and use those most appropriate to their needs. Eventually, it is hoped that all of the more progressive M&E elements and features will become standard, and be incorporated in all sector monitoring systems.

Resumen

This Evidence Check aimed to summarise the evidence on effective models of psychiatry service delivery for older people in four types of hospital and residential / long-stay care services. The review found that hospital mental health wards for older people were effective in improving neuropsychiatric symptoms, mood, anxiety and quality of life. Specialist consultations and liaison services enhanced the quality of hospital care and the adoption of best practice approaches by clinicians. They also reduced hospital stay and carer stress, and increased patient satisfaction with care. The authors compared outcomes for older people being treated in dedicated mental health services with mainstream (or ‘ageless’) mental health services and identified a gap in evidence. The review found the need for more research on psychiatric services in residential and long-stay care settings, and effective care models in particular populations, such as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
