Повний текст джерелаBackground: Swedish statistics indicate that there will be an increase in the number of elderly with multiple illnesses. The Health Care Act stipulates that the care provided must be of good quality and meet the patients’ needs for security. In today's society there is a risk that older people are subjected to ageism, which can affect the quality of healthcare and expose the older patients to conditions of suffering. Aim: To describe older patients’ experiences of healthcare at a geriatric ward in central Sweden. Methods: A latent qualitative content analysis of twelve semi-structured interviews. Results: The results consist of two themes and seven subthemes. The theme Experiences of getting good health care describes that when older patients experienced a nurturing environment and the caregivers worked as a health resource, it could benefit the patients’ wellbeing. The theme emphasizes that encountering a good reception and being aknowledged as a person resulted in positive emotions, and that participation in the care process and self-determination were key factors. The theme Experiences of receiving a lack of care describes that the experience of an unsafe environment, actual diseases not being taken into account, lack of treatment and knowledge, as well as being denied person-centered care, resulted in negative emotions. Conclusions: The results indicate that both positive and negative resposnses concerning the care at the ward are experienced. The older patients who experience deficiencies in healthcare, recognize that there is a risk that ageism exists, which may affect the quality of care. The thesis provides knowledge and understanding of how older patients experience healthcare which can contribute to better conditions for the patients, in order for them to experience good healthcare.

Paasivaara, L. (Leena). "Tavoitteet ja tosiasiallinen toiminta:suomalaisen vanhusten hoitotyön muotoutuminen monitasotarkastelussa 1930-luvulta 2000-luvulle." Doctoral thesis, University of Oulu, 2003. http://urn.fi/urn:isbn:9514269012.
Повний текст джерелаTiivistelmä Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli kuvailla ja ymmärtää suomalaisen vanhusten hoitotyön sisällön ja luonteen muotoutumista 1930-luvulta 2000-luvulle. Tutkimuksen tarkastelunäkökulmana oli kolme perusolettamusta: historiallisuus, monitasoisuus sekä tavoitteiden ja tosiasiallisen toiminnan ulottuvuudet. Historiallisuus viittasi sekä ilmiön tarkasteluun pitkällä aikavälillä että historialliseen tutkimusmenetelmään. Monitasoisuus liitti ilmiön tarkastelun makro- ja mikrotasoille. Makrotason muodosti yhteiskunnallinen vanhuspolitiikka (I-taso). Mikrotaso jakaantui kunnalliseen (II-taso) ja hoito-organisaatioiden (III-taso) muodostamiin toimintaympäristöihin sekä käytännön hoitotyöhön (IV-taso). Monitasotarkastelun lävistävänä näkökulmana oli heijastaa tavoitteellisia ulottuvuuksia (I-III-taso) käytännön tosiasialliseen toimintaan (IV-taso). Tutkimuksen väljänä monitasotarkastelua ohjaavana teoreettisena lähtökohtana oli systeemiajattelu ja jäsennyksenä toimi ohjausmalli. Vanhusten hoitotyön muotoutumista haettiin I-tasolla virallisten dokumenttien, II-tasolla kolmen pohjoissuomalaisen kunnan kunnallisten asiakirjojen, III-tasolla valittujen kuntien vanhusten hoito-organisaatioiden dokumenttien sekä IV-tasolla apu-, perus- ja lähihoitajien muistitiedon avulla. Tämän lisäksi ajan historiallis-sosiokulttuurisen kontekstin ymmärtämiseksi hyödynnettiin aikalaisaineiston ohella myös ilmiötä koskevaa kirjallisuutta, aikakauslehdistöä ja tutkimustietoa. Tutkimuksen luentatapana oli systematisoiva tulkinta, jonka avulla integroitiin makro- ja mikrotason tiedot vanhusten hoidosta eri aikakausilta yhteen ymmärrettäväksi kokonaisuudeksi. Tutkimus tuotti sekä tavoitteellisten että tosiasiallisen toiminnan ulottuvuuksien peruslinjat. Näistä muodostettiin teoreettista yhteiskunnallista jäsennyskehystä hyödyntäen hoitotyön yleiset kehityslinjat: aktivointivaiheen säilyttävä hoitotyö (1930-1950), luonnosteluvaiheen kollektisoiva hoitotyö (1950-1970), elävöittämisvaiheen yksilöllinen hoitotyö (1970-1990) sekä uudentamisvaiheen tasapainoileva hoitotyö (1990-). Tutkimus osoitti, että hoitotyön muotoutumiseen vaikuttivat vanhuspolitiikan, kunnallisen ja hoito-organisaatioiden toimintaympäristöjen tavoitteelliset ulottuvuudet sekä hoitajan rooli tosiasiallisessa toiminnassa. Tuloksista kävi ilmi, että vanhuspolitiikan tavoitteet heijastuivat hoitotyön tosiasialliseen toimintaan viiveellä. Tutkimuksen ideana oli tuottaa kokoavaa hoitotieteellistä perustutkimusta. Tutkimus avasi siten uutta näkökulmaa hoitotieteen tieteenalasta nouseviin tutkimuskysymyksiin. Tuloksia voidaan hyödyntää myös vanhusten hoitotyön arvo- ja tietoperustan ymmärtämiseen sekä hoitotyön opetukseen. Hoitotyön edelleen kehittämisen kannalta on tärkeää, että hoitotyötä ei tarkastella vain yksittäisenä ilmiönä, vaan se liitetään laajempaan ajan historiallis-sosiokulttuuriseen tarkasteluun. Tutkimuksen menetelmällisiä ratkaisuja voidaan soveltaa myös muissa hoitotieteellisissä tutkimuksissa

Повний текст джерелаDemographic aging in Brazil has been influenced by the epidemiological and demographic transition. As a consequence, chronic diseases prevail and the functional capability of the elderly decreases. That is when the presence of a caregiver in the family context becomes necessary. The objectives of this methodological study were to adapt the Questionnaire for Assessment of Informal Caregiver Burden (QAICB) for its use in Brazil and to analyze psychometric properties in a sample of informal caregivers of elderly individuals. The QAICB is comprised of 32 items whose answers are obtained in values ranging from one to five, integrating seven domains: Implications in personal life; Satisfaction with the role and the family member; Reactions to demands; Emotional burden; Family support; Financial burden and Perception of the mechanisms of efficacy and control. The total score varies between 32 and 160, and the higher the score, the greater the burden. The adaptation process followed the methodological steps recommended in literature: semantic adaptation, evaluation by a committee of judges, semantic analyses of the items, obtainment of the final version and analysis of psychometric properties. Data were collected by means of home interviews, between September of 2012 and February of 2013, in the registered areas of the Family Health Teams of João Pessoa, state of Paraíba. Study participants were 132 caregivers of elderly individuals with some functional dependence. The validity of convergent construct of the QAICB was assessed by means of Pearson\'s correlation tests between the measures of burden and correlated constructs (anxiety and depression); confirmatory factor analysis (dimensionality) and test for comparison of known groups (age, time of care, level of dependence); and the reliability was assessed by the internal consistency of the items (Cronbach\'s alpha). The level of significance adopted was 0.05. Most of the participants were women (87.1%), married (47.7%), with a mean age of 50 years and eight years of education. Regarding the relationship of the caregiver to the elderly, 63% were children, and 14% were spouses. Approximately 89% of the caregivers lived with the elderly, presented a mean time of care of seven years, and 39% did not have any help in the care of the elderly. Regarding the properties evaluated, in relation to the validity of the convergent construct of the adapted version of the QAICB, a strong correlation was found between the measures of burden and depression (r=0.61; p=0.001) and a moderate correlation was observed between the measures of burden and anxiety (r=0.50, p=0.001) (convergent validity). In the comparison of the measures of burden as for the age of the caregiver (adults and elderly) (p=0.046) and the classification of the dependence of the elderly (p=0.001), the initial hypotheses of the authors were confirmed. The confirmatory factor analysis evidenced a good adjustment of the measure model originating from the adapted version of the QAICB and the factor structure initially assumed in the model proposed by the authors of the original version was maintained. As for reliability, an adequate value was obtained for the internal consistency of the adapted version of the QAICB, considering the total of the items (?= 0.92) and the dimensions (alpha varying between 0.51 and 0.88). In light of the results, the adapted version of the QAICB showed compliance with the criteria of validity and reliability in the studied sample. New studies are suggested so as to test these properties in other groups of Brazilian caregivers

Повний текст джерелаIntroduction: Tooth loss and edentulism may have a negative impact in the oral and general health, in the quality of life, and nutrition of the elderly. Dental caries and tooth loss have been described as results of processes involving biologic factors, on the surfaces of the teeth, and of a combination of behavioral and social factors. Furthermore, the historical context in which people are placed influences their behaviors and perceptions towards oral health. The understanding of health behaviors requires the use of methods which allow for the exploration of the subjective reality of those factors. Objective: The objectives of this study using quantitative and qualitative methods were to evaluate the association between demographic, socioeconomic, behavioral and health factors and the incidence of tooth loss, coronal and root caries in the studied sample. Also, to carry on focus groups interviews with members from the sample to explore their perceptions about tooth loss. Methods: A cohort study was conducted with a simple random sample of subjects 60 years old or older in Carlos Barbosa city, southern Brazil, between the years of 2004 and 2008. Interviews and oral examinations were conducted with 388 dentate subjects at baseline, and 273 participants at follow-up. The incidence of tooth loss, coronal and root caries and their association with baseline variables were modeled with the use of negative binomial regression. Following the quantitative part of the study, information of qualitative nature was obtained through a series of eight focus groups, involving 41 participants, purposefully selected from those participating in the follow-up. The focus groups discussions’ were moderated by the author, were recorded, coded and analyzed through the use of Grounded Theory. Results: In the multivariate model it was observed that, older age; male gender; living in a rural area; being married; less schooling; being a current smoker; and being dissatisfied with the health services accessed, were associated with the incidence of tooth loss. Among clinical variables, the use of removable partial dentures, and the gingival bleeding index were predictors, whereas higher stimulated saliva flow rate showed a protective effect for the outcome. With regards to the incidence of coronal caries, in the multivariate model it was found that, older age; male gender; living in a rural area; and being a current smoker, were associated with the outcome. Among clinical variables, the use of removable partial dentures was a predictor, whereas a higher stimulated saliva flow was a protective factor for the outcome. In the final model, for the outcome defined as the incidence density of new root caries, it was observed that, older age; living in a rural area; and brushing less than daily were predictors, whereas a higher stimulated saliva flow rate showed a protective effect for the outcome. With regards to the qualitative part of the study, the answers of the participants allowed for the conclusion that tooth extractions had been related, in the past, with the lack of oral health problems; social norms (including social values related to gender); low level of health information; and limited accessibility and availability of dental services. Contexts of social and programmatic vulnerability played a major role in the development of social norms and individual behaviors which resulted in tooth extractions. Conclusion: These findings are important, because understanding the causal relations between individual behaviors such as oral hygiene, smoking, and the pursuing of preventive dental care, do not elucidate why people engage in such behaviors.

Повний текст джерелаLiterature pertaining to geriatric care contains rich information regarding the best practices related to geriatric health care issues. The publication domain of geriatric care is small as compared to other health related areas, however, there are over a million articles pertaining to different cases and case interventions capturing best practice outcomes. If the data found in these articles could be harvested and processed effectively, such knowledge could then be translated from research to practice in a quicker and more efficient manner. Geriatric literature contains multiple domains or practice areas and within these domains is a wealth of information such as interventions, information on care for elderly, case studies, and real life scenarios. These articles are comprised of a variety of causal relationships such as the relationship between interventions and disorders. The goal of this study is to identify these causal relations from published abstracts. Natural language processing and statistical methods were adopted to identify and extract these causal relations. Using the developed methods, causal relations were extracted with precision of 79.54%, recall of 81% while only having a false positive rate 8%.

Abstract Background: Sarcopenia is an important factor affecting the health status for the geriatric population, and the proportion of elderly people suffering from chronic diseases is relatively high. The study of the psychology and leisure activity of elderly patients with sarcopenia combined with heart disease is insufficient. There is insufficient evidence for the findings of changes in mental state and leisure activity. Therefore, the relationship between resilience and leisure activity of this ethnic group and long-term trajectory trends are explored. Purpose: To examine the relationship between resilience and leisure activity in elderly people with sarcopenia combined with heart disease and change long-term trajectory. The first stage of the research project (systematic literature review phrase):review of resilience and leisure activity literature reviewing results, the second stage of the research project (long-term trajectory): tracking longitudinal tracking studies, detection of longitudinal data tracking for resilience and leisure activity in different time points. Method: This study is a two-stage research project. The first stage is the review and analysis of systematic literature, and analyzes the related variables of physical activity and resilience of elderly people in the databases. The second stage of research is the long-term trajectory study. The number of 96 samples was collected at the first outpatient (baseline) after the case was collected. Data collection included analysis of demographics data, resilience, leisure activity, and other variables, and the detection of longitudinal data at different time points (three and six months). Six months later, we discussed the changes of psychological indicators (psychological resilience) and physical activities (leisure activities) in elderly patients with sarcopenia combined with heart disease. Results: The first stage of the study: the review of literature found that physical activity intervention has significant improvement in muscle mass, walking speed, or grip strength for elderly people, and intervention plan include at least two types of exercises, however, the type of exercise, intensity, and duration were no consistency in each research. Besides, the tools for examining the effectiveness after interventions lack of consistency and standardization. The second stage of the study: The subjects of this study were older than 65 years old, more males than females, married, living with family members, education in senior high school, belief in Buddhism, exercise time less than 30 minutes per each time. Chronic diseases are mainly heart diseases and hypertension. The state of resilience was significantly different from gender (p=.02), age (p=.03), and self-care (p<.01). There were significant differences between leisure activity and age (p = .01), significant differences with education (p = .02), and family income and exercise time (p = .01, p < .01). There was a positive correlation between resilience and leisure activity (r=.42, p<.01), and the level of resilience was predictive of the participation rate of leisure activities, with significant significance (p=0.00). The model could explain the overall situation. The total variation of leisure activities reached 17.3%. The resilience and leisure activity gradually increased at different time points (baseline, 3 months, and 6 months) across the long-term trajectory. In the Group-Based trajectory analysis, the second group of patients after clustering four groups showed significant differences in the resilience of the second group of subjects under control variables of age, gender, and self-care (Β = 4.2, SE = 1.46, p<0.00), showing that there is a significant increase in resilience; the first group of leisure activities changes with time, their frequency of participation in leisure activities increased significantly; and leisure activities in the first group of research objects show significant differences (Β =2.7, SE = 1.24, p = 0.03), indicating a significant increase in leisure activities Conclusion: The results of the study confirm that resilience and leisure activities play an important role in the elderly patients with sarcopenia combined with heart disease. The psychological state of the elderly will affect the frequency of their participation in physical (leisure) activities, and for patients with sarcopenia. It is benefit for elder people to prevent disability, falls, or loss of self-care ability due to sarcopenia. In the ageing society in Taiwan, the psychological statues and the ability to adjust chronic are important factors for older people. We can encourage them to take part in appropriate leisure activities in order to increase physical activity and promote mental health. Clinical and Practical Applications: The results of this study focus on patients with sarcopenia combined with heart disease, as well as to explore the long-term changes in resilience and physical activity in individual. It is help for clinical staff to design intervention to improve the nursing care quality, which in advance to lower medical costs and the occurrence of sarcopenia, thereby improving the quality of life for elderly people and promoting successful aging. Key words: Resilience, Physical activity, Leisure activity, Sarcopenia, geriatric population, heart disease

The main goal of this research is to realize the geriatric educational status of those geriatric people in indigenous community and to give helpful suggestions on geriatric education policy for government, based on our investigation at the KingFong City in TaiTung County. To achieve the goal above, this research adopts the methods of investigating when participating and of inquiry to analyze the need of geriatric education and the indigenous learning style. We found some facts as follows: 1. Indigenous communities distribute so wide as to promote the possibility of equally distribution of social resources. 2. The activities promoted by Indigenous Community Development Council, Community Administrator, and Community Official, highly affect the chance for indigenous elder people to participate in learning. 3. Church is an important part of indigenous people’s life. It is better that teachers are also missionaries, live in the same community, and can speak indigenous language. 4. Indigenous geriatric people have a strong sense on community. They learn for use. 5. It is better to design courses to meet the fitness for their life style and to meet the need of the community and locality. 6. Indigenous geriatric people want to learn more. 7. Indigenous geriatric people feel a great interest when participating in various activities, especially cultural activities. 8. Communities distribute so wide as to have a good communication with one another. It is better to design courses for each community. To sum up, we conclude that: 1. The age of the so-called indigenous geriatric people is recommended to be lower than that of general geriatric people. 2. Enrich the professional education and social education for indigenous people by joining the resources of schools and church. 3. Indigenous language, customs and culture should be promoted by government. 4. Set up learning centers and design various activities for indigenous geriatric people. Reduce the chance of drinking wine. 5. The welfare policy should take into account the specialty of indigenous community environment. 6. Advance the full improvement of the indigenous community. Enforce the realization of full life learning and encourage them to learn various types of culture.

Повний текст джерелаThe purpose of the study was to develop a strategy to assist community nurses facilitate the mobilization of resources for meeting the basic needs of the elderly in the peri-urban and rural communities within the Hhohho region in Swaziland. Qualitative, exploratory, descriptive and contextual research designs were used to explore and describe the basic needs and the resources for meeting the needs of the elderly. In order to achieve the study objectives and be logical, this study was organized into two phases namely: phase one and two. Phase one focused on the first objective namely: to explore and describe the basic needs and resources of the elderly in the peri-urban and rural communities in the Hhohho region in Swaziland. The second phase focused on the second objective namely: to develop and describe the strategy for mobilizing the resources meeting the basic needs of the elderly. Purposive sampling was utilized to select participants who met the inclusion criteria. Data were collected using focus groups and individual indepth face-toface interviews. Tesch method of qualitative data analysis was utilized to identify themes. From the study findings the researcher and the independent coder identified the following themes from the focus groups and individual indepth face-to-face interviews with the elderly and the key informants in the peri-urban and rural communities in the Hhohho region: • Theme 1: Need for resources because of poverty • Theme 2: Need for support because of burden for caring for others • Theme 3: Need for health care because of health challenges • Theme 4: Need for company because of loneliness • Theme 5: Need for protection because of abuse of the elderly persons The study highlighted a lack of resources including food security, housing accommodation, clothing, water supply and basic sanitation, electricity supply and lack of financial resource. The burden of caring for grandchildren who were orphans due to HIV/AIDS related illnesses and others as well as chronic illnesses were also reported...

Повний текст джерелаLimited funds for the delivering of health and social services necessitate the cost-effective utilization of all categories of nursing personnel in old age homes. Professional nurses are being retrenched and supervision over weekends and after hours is being scaled down due to a lack of guidelines for the cost-effective utilization of nursing personnel in old age homes. A combined quantitative-qualitative approach had been applied in this empirical study to explore and describe the utilization of nursing personnel in old age homes. The goal of the study was to compile guidelines for the cost-effective utilization of nursing personnel in old age homes. Data collection and data analysis were conducted during three phases. A survey of the population of old age homes in South Africa was first conducted to determine the composition of the residents and nursing personnel in these old age homes and to explore the cost implications of the personnel composition. The contents of job descriptions of professional nurses working in old age homes were analysed on a computer by the researcher using NUDtIST software during the second phase of the study. The third phase consisted of conducting and analysing focus groups with professional nurses regarding. their expectations of their own duties, tasks and responsibilities and those of nursing auxiliaries and lay caregivers in old age homes. The three phases were conducted simultaneously and the results of the three phases were triangulated and subjected to a limited literature control. The results were verified during visits to nursing homes in the USA, Canada and the UK. A conceptual framework and guidelines for the cost-effective utilization of nursing personnel in old age homes were developed from the findings of this study. Respondents from the first phase of the study and experts verified the guidelines for being applicable, important, clear and accessible. The findings indicated that most of the residents of the old age homes are very old and are in need of 24 hours nursing/care due to their level of frailty. The nursing personnel budget forms a significant portion of the operating budget of the old age homes and managers are of the opinion that professional nurses are expensive but an essential component of the nursing personnel. The duties, tasks and responsibilities of professional nurses were identified as well as those which are shared with nursing auxiliaries and lay caregivers in old age homes. The conceptual framework which was established from the results of the study indicates that the goal, costeffective utilization of nursing personnel, is reached when quality care has been delivered within the constraints of the budget limitations. The process has been described as the compiling of guidelines for all categories of nursing personnel regarding clinical nursing, nursing management and nursing education as well as the handling of non nursing tasks while considering the personnel standards and job descriptions. The role players are the manager, all categories of nursing personnel, lay caregivers, family and volunteers which perform within the restrictions of the personnel composition and the appropriate code of conduct regulations. The context for the utilization of nursing personnel is the old age home where nursing/care giving is delivered on a continuum and the dynamics which influence the cost-effective utilization of nursing personnel include applicable legislation and policies of government departments and non government organizations.
