Pełny tekst źródłaThis Phd thesis focuses on the circumstances and processes involved in the elaboration of experiential knowledge by people living with chronic illness. It specifically concerns informal situations in which this knowledge is developed, which are more relevant in terms of analyzing the power to act of the people concerned.This contribution seeks to identify the reflexive practices of these people and to understand how their environment and individual dispositions influence them. To this end, the theoretical frameworks of agency (Bandura, 1986) and reflexivity (Dewey, 1910, 1938; Schön, 1983; Kolb, 1974) are crossed. This intersection leads to the development of an embryonic model of reflexive practices. The triadic causal reciprocity model (Bandura, 1986) is used to identify the environmental and dispositional variables to be studied.To test this embryonic model, a first empirical investigation consisted of seven non-directive interviews with people living with various chronic illnesses. A second is based on a questionnaire, co-produced in part with the people concerned and more widely associated with the thesis, via Focus Groups. It is distributed online to the people concerned.Based on the 1,404 complete responses collected, principal component analyses are used to describe the relationships between respondents' reflexive practices, their information goals and media. They are completed by confidence ellipses and Man Whitney Wilcoxon tests.Respondents are mainly women, over 35 years of age, with a level of education higher than the baccalaureate. Most suffer from myalgic encephalomyelitis and/or chronic fatigue syndrome, which can lead to an inability to work. They have been suffering from their illness for a long time, and feel little social recognition. They tend to adopt a learning attitude towards medical knowledge. They live with illnesses that are not recognized by the healthcare system, have a low prevalence and a low level of technicalization.After analysis, two processes coexist to resolve the deviations from self-normativity (Andrieu, 2012; Barrier, 2008; Baeza, 2020) of people living with a chronic illness. Our collection methods have mainly uncovered and described lengthy analytical processes (Dewey, 1910, 1938; Schön, 1983; Kolb, 1974).Beyond the practices imagined in the embryonic model, the analysis shows the mobilization of an individual practice of reflexive defense. As far as cognitive processes are concerned, people construct a personal environment of research or reflexivity based on their perceptions and/or feelings, information supports (patients' associations, blogs), health-related professionals and laypeople (close friends, family or colleagues). Their environment and dispositions influence their practices in different ways, depending on the variables explored. Finally, six motives for engagement in reflexivity, in reference to Carré's (1998) motives for engagement in training, are identified: epistemic, socio-affective, economic, personal operative, identity and vocational. Three distinct goals are identified for the mobilization of practices among the people interviewed: maintaining social integration, managing illness and maintaining relationships with relatives.The discussion focuses on the proximity between the reflexive practices of people living with chronic illness and clinical reasoning as taught to healthcare professionals. This encourages greater reflexive cooperation between healthcare professionals and the people concerned, in response to the day-to-day problems associated with chronic illness

Cambridge University Press, 2021. http://hdl.handle.net/10454/18567.
Pełny tekst źródłaAs the ageing population in China continues to grow, more people will be living with long-term health conditions and require support from family care-givers. This scoping review therefore aims to explore sources of stress and coping mechanisms adopted by care-givers of older relatives living with long-term conditions in mainland China. Literature searches were conducted in English (CINAHL, EMBASE, MEDLINE, PsycINFO and SCOPUS) and Chinese (CNKI, WANFANG DATA, CQVIP and CBM) databases between October and November 2019. The searches focused on the stressors and coping mechanisms utilised by family care-givers residing in the community. Narrative synthesis was used to identify themes within the data. Forty-six papers were included: 20 papers from English and 26 from Chinese databases. Six themes captured stressors: care-giving time (N = 22), financial resources (N = 17), role and personal strains (N = 42), preparedness (N = 4), social roles (N = 10) and lack of adequate formal support (N = 22); and one theme captured coping (N = 14). Unmet needs of care-givers of older relatives in mainland China were found to be extensive. Only a few studies had attempted to explore the causal link between stressors, coping and the influence of culture. Findings underscore the significance of adequately capturing intricacies around care-givers’ unmet needs, rather than generalising on the basis of culture. Qualitative studies are critical to providing a better understanding of the relationship between stressors, coping and resources afforded to care-givers by their cultural environment. Having such understanding is crucial to inform the development of competent care, which promotes self-efficacy and self-actualisation in care-givers in mainland China.

A discussão que envolve questões da vida humana e da ruptura de alguns conceitos presentes na sociedade pós-moderna põe em discussão assuntos que transcendem análises detentoras de ambiguidades e/ou contradições a serem refletidas e discutidas, as quais conduzem a avaliações sobre a condição do homem inserido no centro das relações sociais. Versando sobre este eixo, “Minha vida, meu tempo, minha condição” tem como principal objetivo realizar um estudo sobre a situação do idoso na sociedade contemporânea em tempos de transformações sociais cada vez mais aceleradas, bem como as alternativas para lidar com tal questão, cujo maior destaque está sob os vieses da dinâmica familiar e do processo de institucionalização. A linha de pesquisa adotada foi baseada na teoria da fragilidade das relações humanas discorrida por importantes pensadores contemporâneos. Para maior compreensão do estudo, se fez necessário utilizar como processo de investigação, revisões e análises bibliográficas e busca em sites que referenciam questões sobre o tema, assim como a observação e descrição empírica, este com o método quanti- qualitativo. Em ênfase a segunda abordagem, é importante destacar que a referida pesquisa foi realizada, através de entrevistas semiestruturadas, com 20 (vinte) idosos, entre 65 (sessenta e cinco) a 85 (oitenta e cinco) anos, de ambos os sexos que residem em uma Instituição de Longa Permanência para Idosos (ILPI), situada no Município de Salvador, Bahia. Permite-se afirmar que tais análises foram pertinentes para o entendimento tanto da vida cotidiana do idoso que reside num local dessa natureza, levando em consideração o diagnóstico da sua condição social atual, quanto da dinâmica familiar em que está inserido. A partir dessa visão vem a seguinte indagação: residir em um abrigo para idosos é uma opção ou resultado de um processo em que se agrega à falta de opção? O que está nas entrelinhas dessa realidade? Quais foram as principais causas que levaram esses indivíduos a decidirem por essa maneira de viver, a se permitir estar nesta condição? Nas reflexões conclusivas, foi possível perceber que a situação atual desses idosos caracteriza uma realidade desafiadora, principalmente quando parte para a visão de que a institucionalização está sob bases complexas e que a família está no pilar desse processo, expressamente colidente. Foi possível perceber, em alguns momentos, a fragilidade desses vínculos, logo, a institucionalização muitas vezes representa uma alternativa para lidar com os reflexos dessa situação, tendo como consequência uma vertente desse fato relativamente aceitável e cheio de contradições. Estes questionamentos foram analisados no decorrer do processo da pesquisa, apontando assim, os limites e as vertentes dessa problemática, merecendo destaque o contexto social contemporâneo vivenciado por esses sujeitos, mais precisamente os que estão inseridos nessa condição, a de idoso abrigado.
The discussion that involves issues of human life and the rupture of some concepts in postmodern society it discusses issues that transcend analyzes holders of ambiguity and / or contradictions to be reflected and discussed, which lead to reviews of the condition of man inserted into the center of social relations. Dealing on this axis, "My life, my time, my condition" aims to conduct a study on the situation of the elderly in contemporary society in times of social change increasingly accelerated and the alternatives for dealing with such matters, whose most prominent is under the biases of family dynamics and the process of institutionalization. The adopted research line was based on the theory of the fragility of human relationships studied by important contemporary thinkers. For better understanding of the study, it was necessary to use as the research process, reviews and bibliographic analysis and search on sites referring to questions on the subject, as well as observation and empirical description, this quantity with the qualitative method. An emphasis on the second approach, it is important to note that this research was conducted through semi-structured interviews with twenty (20) old, between 65 (sixty-five) to 85 (eighty-five) years, of both sexes residing in an institution of for the Aged (LTCF), located in the city of Salvador, Bahia. Lets say that such analyzes were relevant to understanding both the everyday life of the elderly who reside in a place of this nature, taking into account the diagnosis of your current social condition, as the family dynamics in which it appears. From this vision comes the next question: living in a nursing home is an option or result of a process in which adds to the lack of choice? What's between the lines of this reality? What were the main causes that led these individuals to decide for this way of life, to allow to be in this condition? In the concluding reflections, it is noted that the current situation of the elderly features a challenging reality, especially when part to the view that the institutionalization is under complex bases and that the family is the pillar of this process, specifically colliding. It could be observed, at times, the fragility of these bonds, so the institutionalization often represents an alternative to deal with the consequences of this situation, resulting in a shed that fact relatively acceptable and full of contradictions. These questions were analyzed during the research process, pointing thus the limits and dimensions of this problem, a special focus contemporary social situation experienced by these subjects, specifically those that are inserted in this condition, the elderly housed.

The long-term care is universal nature of human needs, each person may have LTC demand potential and become the case for a lifetime. Life expectancy prolong due to the introduction of HAART, the population of HIV-infected patients is ageing consequently, and then they come to the aging trend accompanied with chronic change of morbidity, disability-focusing from health and care problem, complicated and long-term shifting of care. It reflected the complex & sophisticated nature of the particular long-term care risks. The purpose of this study tries to explore LTC risks potential among of people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). The study has been conductive by cross-sectional design, with the structure questionnaire, picking up 300 patients as the samples at out-patient clinic this year, by the tool of preventive screening on LTC“the Kaigo-Yobo checklist” in Japan. The study outcome showed that around 57.7﹪of participants might be regarded as LTC in potential encompassing some domains under overall. Some of them with the risk in single domain 67.6﹪,the other might possess two or more. The concluded overall 2.3﹪, other sub-dimension of risk priorities were mobility4.0﹪, nutrition8.3﹪, oral & teeth17.7﹪and depression49.3﹪. The major factors of long-term care risk included co-morbidity index, physical-activity routines and smoking, therefore it is important to promote the preventive long-term health care. The study was the pilot trial to approach PLWHA for preventive long-term health care. Base on the study, might be helpful to afford some supports of polite investigation, it has presented some preliminary results of the reference, but still incapable of concluding rationally, universally, or conclusively. More furthermore studies are still mandatory. Keywords: long-term care、long-term care risks、preventive long-term health care、 People living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA)

The main purpose of this study is to explore the need for long-term care services for elderly people living alone and to the improvement of their lives. The author uses the Purposive Sampling method to carry on the in-depth interview to the two long-term care workers and the five elderly people living alone who use the service in Guoshing Township, Nantou County. According to the interview to understand the feelings and views of the elderly living alone, and to develop specific recommendations for the relevant units for reference. According to the interview results, (1) they generally do not understand the content of the program., (2) the elderly people living alone agree that services can improve their living conditions, (3) they thinks that in addition to physical satisfaction and the care of the disease, they also need to interact with the community and need people to accompany, (4) they wants to be able to age locally, and the service is provided with their expectation, (5) and the cost burden will affect their willingness to use the services. According to the conclusions, the suggestions are as follows: (1) providing more diversified services and flexible service models, (2) improving message propagating about long-term care services.

Pełny tekst źródłaIntroduction. The provision of appropriate long term care facilities for people with acquired brain injury is a portentous issue internationally. There is a global lack of long term care facilities for people with acquired brain injury and they are often placed in facilities for the physically disabled or the elderly. It is unclear whether these facilities are suitable and what effect they may have on well-being and social isolation. Aim. This interpretive phenomenological study explored how adults with acquired brain injury experience living in such long term care facilities. Additionally, it described how such living arrangements impact on social isolation, a particularly devastating psychosocial consequence of acquired brain injury. Method. One-on-one, semi-structured interviews were conducted with seven adults who had acquired a brain injury. Each participant had been living in a long term care facility for at least one year. They were asked questions related to their general lived experience as well as specific questions to explore their experience of social isolation. Findings. Thematic content analysis of the interview data led to the following five categories of themes: overall evaluations (guarded approval, and disapproval); general lived experience (autonomy, choice, freedom, burden, boredom, and basic needs); social isolation (loneliness, companionship, and belonging); sources of isolation (living with the disabled, different disability, age differences, pets, and facility setup); and sources of well-being (positivity, and meaning). The main findings were that the general lived experience of people with ABI was mainly negative. The facilities generally met only basic needs and seldom met higher level psychological needs. Social isolation was commonly reported among residents with ABI in long term care facilities and was linked to age differences and having a brain injury in a facility geared for people with other disabilities. The findings were understood in relation to Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems theory and Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. Conclusions. The findings of this study contribute towards filling a theoretical gap in understanding the lived experience of people with ABI in long term care facilities and how this contributes to social isolation. The findings have potential value to family members of people with acquired brain injury considering various living arrangement options. They can also be useful for long term care facilities housing people with brain injury to make changes that may result in greater well-being of their residents.

Pełny tekst źródłaObjectives To assess the long-term effect on health and well-being of the Lifestyle Matters programme. Design Qualitative study of a subset of intervention arm participants who participated in the Lifestyle Matters randomised controlled trial (RCT). Setting The intervention took place at community venues within two sites in the UK. Participants A purposeful sample of 13 participants aged between 66 and 88 years from the intervention arm of the RCT were interviewed at 24 months post randomisation. Interviews aimed to understand how participants had used their time in the preceding 2 years and whether the intervention had any impact on their lifestyle choices, participation in meaningful activities and well-being. Intervention Lifestyle Matters is a 4-month occupational therapy intervention, consisting of group and individual sessions, designed to enable community living older people to make positive lifestyle choices and participate in new or neglected activities through increasing self-efficacy. Results Interviews revealed that the majority of interviewed participants were reportedly active at 24 months, with daily routines and lifestyles not changing significantly over time. All participants raised some form of benefit from attending Lifestyle Matters, including an improved perspective on life, trying new hobbies and meeting new friends. A number of intervention participants spoke of adapting to their changing circumstances, but there were significant and lasting benefits for 2 of 13 intervention participants interviewed. Conclusion The majority of those who experienced the Lifestyle Matters intervention reported minor benefits and increases in self-efficacy, but they did not perceive that it significantly improved their health and well-being. The two participants who had experienced major benefits also reported having had life-changing events, suggesting that this intervention is most effective at the time when lifestyle has to be reconsidered if mental well-being is to be sustained.

Recently, due to the effect of decreasing new-born babies in our country, the substantial enhancement of the quality of our medical treatment as well as our awareness of the health care and healthy diets, the average life span of our people has been prolonged. As a result, our aging population has also increased rapidly. This thesis, via the study of the structurally-similiar "Yung-Sheng Community" and "Hsing-Ye Community" in Tainan city will investigate whether our long-term caring and nursing policy has substantial effects on the elderly people living alone. Whether there are adequate methods to improve the various problems caused by the deficiency of our long-term caring and nursing system will also be discussed. Our fertility rate has deteriorated dramatically and the aging speed of our population has already gone beyond Japan becoming the world number one. So the long-term caring and nursing for the elderly has become the imperative thing to do. Though the solution rate related to the everyday life is comparatively higher among the “long-term caring and nursing" related problems, the health care related problems are usually noticed easily and thus put greater emphasis on. Therefore, "health care" is till the top priority in the long-term caring and nursing system. However, there are differences between the health care related problems and the service as well as information provided by our current medical systems. So, setting up a new system to deal with them is required.
