medico social problems of elderly in indiaNaveen Phuyal
This document provides an overview of medico-social problems faced by the elderly population and national programmes in India to address these issues. It discusses key facts about population aging globally and in India. Some of the main challenges faced by elderly Indians include lack of financial security, health issues like chronic diseases, malnutrition, and lack of access to affordable healthcare. Studies have also found issues of social isolation, abuse, neglect and crime against the elderly. The document highlights the heterogeneity among elderly groups and need to address their varying needs. It also notes that population aging will impact society and presents both challenges and opportunities.
Elderly care involves caring for those aged 60 and over. As populations age, the percentage of those over 65 is increasing which has led to the emergence of geriatrics as a field. Older adults often require care due to declining health and abilities. Care can be provided in homes, old age homes, or day care centers and includes medical, social, and financial support. Governments have implemented policies to support the elderly including welfare programs and national policies focusing on areas like health, shelter, education, and family support.
This document discusses old age homes for the elderly. It begins by outlining the changing demographics of an aging global population. It then discusses aging trends specific to India, including health issues faced by the elderly. The document considers problems faced by the elderly, perspectives of caregivers, and experiences of abuse and neglect. It analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of elderly living in joint families or nuclear families. The document proposes several solutions to support the elderly, such as increasing awareness, education, respite care, and counseling. Finally, it discusses the advantages and disadvantages of old age homes.
The document proposes merging an old age home with an orphanage to provide companionship and care for both elderly residents and orphaned children. It notes that elderly residents and orphans both experience loneliness, lack of love and guidance, and can support each other emotionally. Specific organizations and homes that have already merged facilities are described, including the criteria they use to select sites and the services they provide. Challenges of migration and potential bad influences are also discussed.
This presentation discusses the importance of elders and issues they face. Elders share their life experiences and promote cultural values, acting as mentors. However, they often face neglect from busy children, loneliness, abuse, hopelessness, and helplessness. To help, the government launched pension programs, there are awareness days for elder abuse, and we can increase awareness, education, respite care, counseling, and celebrate grandparents. The presentation concludes by advocating for letting elders age gracefully with dignity and respect.
This document discusses several problems faced by elderly people in India. It notes that there are currently 77 million elderly people in India and problems are increasing. Some key issues discussed include: lack of self-confidence, lack of purpose/reason to live, personality disorders, health problems like cardiovascular diseases and joint issues, natural changes that come with aging like vision and hearing loss, and lack of support systems. Traditional views on aging are also contrasted with the need to create a new culture that better supports the elderly.
Geriatric nursing addresses the needs of the elderly population. It involves assessing physical, psychological, social, economic, cultural, and spiritual needs. Geriatric nurses collaborate with older adults, their families, and communities to promote healthy aging and independence. Common needs of elderly individuals include balanced nutrition, sleep, independence, family support, financial security, personal safety, and healthcare.
This document discusses caring for the elderly and common medical problems they face. It notes that gerontologists classify age-related issues into four categories: intellectual impairment, immobility, instability, and incontinence. These problems often make the elderly highly dependent on nursing care. Additionally, chronic conditions in the elderly are sometimes misinterpreted as dementia. Proper care of the elderly requires addressing not just medical issues but also mental health, social engagement, and quality of life.

Krishna Old Age Home is a non-governmental organization located in Gandhinagar, Gujarat that provides shelter and care for older adults aged 60 and above who have no family. It houses around 30 members and provides meals, medical care, and other basic necessities using funds from donations. A survey found that while the organization meets basic needs, improvements could be made to infrastructure and activities to better engage and support members. Recommendations included expanding housing, adding entertainment, creating a website, and helping members develop skills.
The document discusses the social aspects of aging. It describes how social life involves language, gestures, interactions and relationships that help connect individuals and communities. Socially healthy aging involves maintaining dignity and positivity, while socially unhealthy aging can include irritability and isolation. Cultural attitudes towards aging vary between European-American, Asian, Hispanic and African-American communities. The document also examines common myths about aging and debunks them, such as the myths that aging always causes illness, reduced mental sharpness and lack of interest in sex.

1) The document discusses several theories of aging at the biological, psychological, and social levels. It covers theories such as lifespan development theory, selective optimization with compensation theory, and socioemotional selectivity theory.
2) Cognitive theories of aging propose that fluid abilities decline with age while crystallized abilities remain more stable or increase. Changes in processing speed, working memory, and sensory perception are well documented in aging.
3) Personality theories focus on stability of traits over the lifespan as well as changes in goals, values, and coping styles. Core personality remains stable in aging while priorities and coping strategies may subtly change.
Teenagers face many challenges during adolescence including stress from school, social pressures to fit in, and mental health issues like depression. Excessive computer use can worsen cognitive skills, impact social development, increase aggressive behaviors, and cause physical health issues. Peer pressure and drug/alcohol use are also significant problems, as teens sometimes turn to substances to cope with problems or fit in. Overall, adolescence is a difficult period with angst, anxiety, and stress as teens navigate independence yet still rely on guidance from others.
Attitudes towards aging in different culturesChris Kokkola

Road Accidents in India seminar reportAnkush Gavit
Road accidents are a major issue in India, causing over 100,000 deaths per year. The key causes of accidents include speeding, drunk driving, distractions for drivers like cell phones, running red lights, and failing to use seatbelts and helmets. India has over 3 million kilometers of roads but the network suffers from poor quality, with only half paved. Efforts are underway to improve infrastructure, but growing vehicle ownership is also increasing traffic risks. To address this crisis, India and other countries are pushing education, enforcement of traffic laws, engineering improvements, and better emergency response. Coordinated efforts are needed across these areas to achieve the UN's goal of reversing the rising road accident trend by 2020.

Popular sports in England include football, cricket, and rugby. In 1966, England won its only FIFA World Cup, defeating West Germany at Wembley Stadium in London.
The document discusses different parenting styles. Authoritative parenting is recommended as it encourages independence while still setting limits through explanation. Authoritarian parenting expects high conformity through rules without explanation. Permissive parenting gives children much freedom without enforcement of rules. Uninvolved parenting is emotionally detached with minimal involvement in the child's life while still providing basic needs. Family planning refers to parents responsibly determining family size based on available resources.
The document discusses the different levels of education from day-care through graduate school. It begins with day-care which teaches basics like playing and counting. Elementary school builds on these basics with subjects like math, reading, and writing. Middle school introduces more advanced math concepts and longer writing assignments. High school courses become more difficult and specialized. College is similar to high school but with more independence. Graduate school can include law school, medical school, or other programs to further prepare for specific careers.
The document discusses issues with Pakistan's current education system. It introduces topics like the purpose of education, individuality, and steps the government can take. The system focuses too much on theoretical knowledge and marks, not preparing students for everyday life or skills needed for their careers. It suggests the education system needs reform to develop critical thinking and impart practical skills and experiences to students. The government should provide free education up to 12th grade and help reform the system.
This document discusses several social problems including drug addiction, alcoholism, sexually transmitted diseases, juvenile delinquency, and prostitution. It provides details on the behavioral and social factors that contribute to these issues, such as peer pressure, poverty, family dysfunction, and lack of education.

It also identifies issues like a lack of motivation to learn among youth, low teaching quality due to inexperienced teachers, problems with the reservation system, and insufficient infrastructure in schools. The document argues that addressing these challenges, such as improving teaching standards and infrastructure, could help students become more successful and help India continue developing as a country.
Road accidents are caused by distracted driving, speeding, drunk driving, rain, and running red lights. Impacts include damage to vehicles, medical costs, pain and suffering, hospitalization, handicaps, and death. Solutions involve education through driving schools and moral lessons, improving road conditions with signs and lighting, and safety campaigns to raise awareness.
The document discusses road accident prevention and control. It lists several common causes of accidents, including speeding, not wearing a helmet or seatbelt, and using a phone while driving. It emphasizes the importance of following traffic rules and warnings about speeding in wet conditions. Statistics are provided on road deaths in India and economic losses. Suggestions for prevention include stricter enforcement of speed limits and installation of speed controllers.
The roles and responsibilities of a geriatric nurse include providing specialized care to older adults that addresses their complex physical and mental health needs. Geriatric nurses work in various settings like hospitals, nursing homes, and patients' homes. Their responsibilities involve assessing patients' health status, understanding health issues, educating patients and families, and linking patients to community resources to help older adults stay independent for as long as possible. Geriatric nurses play an important advocacy role in the care of older patients.
The document discusses various aspects of aging including biological, psychological, and social factors. Biologically, aging is characterized by gradual decline in functioning of body systems due to factors like cellular damage and reduced organ function. Psychologically, late adulthood involves developmental tasks like accepting loss and retirement while maintaining interests. Socially, aging can involve changes like loss of social connections, discrimination against older adults, and economic and living situation adjustments. Maintaining well-being involves addressing reversible causes of mental health issues and continuing social engagement for older adults.

The document discusses factors that are predicted to increase demand for learning disability services in Barnet, including higher prevalence rates among some immigrant groups, increasing autism diagnoses, and people with learning disabilities living longer. It also notes that mild to moderate learning disabilities are more common in deprived areas. Responding to changing needs will require ensuring access to preventative health services, developing more independent living options for young people, and promoting employment for those with learning disabilities.
This document provides an overview of an organization that provides integrated health and social care services in Cumbria and Lancashire. It discusses the organization's strategy, purpose, and model of service delivery. The model focuses on four main program areas - mental health and emotional wellbeing, women at risk, learning and development, and community outreach. It provides statistics on clients served and interventions provided in 2016-2017. It then discusses several specific mental health services and programs in more depth, including IAPT services, support for victims of crime, couples therapy, and perinatal mental health services. It reflects on service developments, outcomes tracking, and looking toward the future.
This document discusses the need for choice and patient-centered care in children's palliative care. It notes that there are approximately 49,000 children in the UK with life-limiting conditions, yet their voices are often not heard and patient choice is absent. Parents describe the system as a "minefield" with a lack of support and coordination. Short breaks for respite care are important but often not funded by local authorities. Choice is limited by a lack of services due to underfunding. The document calls for improved coordination, a national inquiry, mandated joint commissioning, and greater transparency and accountability in funding to better meet the needs of children requiring palliative care and their families.
Self-Directed Support in Scotland for people with mental health problems, 1 A...Rich Watts
This document discusses Self-Directed Support (SDS) for people with mental health problems. It summarizes evidence that SDS works by allowing over 70% of people to live independently and get the support they want with dignity and respect, and less than 10% report negative impacts. The document also discusses how SDS can be made to work through adequate funding, promotion, clear referral processes, and understanding that personalization affects staff and services as well as those receiving support.
1) Healthwatch England conducted research to understand what matters most to people using health and social care services. They identified 8 proposed consumer rights based on feedback from over 2,000 people.
2) While most people believe they receive good quality care, deeper discussions revealed that 1 in 3 people have experienced a serious mistake or abuse in care. Despite this, over half of people who had a problem did not report it.
3) Healthwatch England is working to establish these 8 consumer rights in health and social care for the first time. They will collaborate with various groups to understand how the rights apply and ensure decision makers address people's experiences. They are seeking feedback and partnership from local Healthwatch organizations.

An Eden Project Field Guide to working with older peopleEdenProjectWebTeam
The UK has an ageing population. There are more people over 65 than there are people under 16.
What impact is this having on our communities? How does this affect community projects? This publications explains how older people can make a difference to your projects and how your projects can improve their lives.
This field guide was published by the Eden Project as part of its Big Lunch Extras programme. Find out more at www.biglunchextras.com
The proposed business will serve the community's needs by providing a notary, administrative assistance, and somebody to help fill out applications and read letters people don't understand. Operations will be run by qualified and experienced staff. The staff will be certified and have the necessary skills to provide the services that the community needs. Also, our presence will be an asset to the community because we will provide jobs to those who are unemployed. Services to be offered by the organization will include cars insurance, taxation and related operations, money transfers, and computer access. The proposed organization will be located in a convenient location that is easily accessible by the community members. We will also provide convenient working hours, so people do not need to miss work or school to care for their administrative needs. The proposed business will be able to provide the services the community demands because they require them.
This event, held in Sheffield Town Hall in 28 May 2015, looked at what health and care could look like in 2020 in Sheffield and considered some of the challenges the system faces.
The document discusses dual sensory impairment (DSI) in the elderly population. It estimates that the number of elderly people with DSI is over 10 times higher than previously thought, around 15,000 people in Denmark. While DSI often goes unidentified and untreated, providing support can significantly improve quality of life. The document outlines awareness campaigns and service system improvements that could help identify and support more elderly people with DSI.
Demographic change is demanding new responses from our society, workplaces, public services and family life
as our population and workforce age. As the number of working age people caring for older loved ones with
health conditions such as dementia rises, the impact on people’s ability to work is becoming an increasingly
critical issue for employers.
Half the UK’s 6.5 million carers are juggling paid work alongside caring. Within the total population of carers,
the number of people caring for loved ones with dementia is rising and is set to reach 850,000 by the end of the
decade.
1 Research has shown full-time working carers are most likely to care for a loved one with dementia.
2 The employers and carers we work with are telling us the same story as the statistics – that dementia and the
impact on employees of caring is a key issue for workforce retention, recruitment and resilience. Very often
the need to care for an elderly parent comes at peak career age. Without the right support, the challenges of
combining such caring with work (often also with other family responsibilities) can quickly become too difficult
to manage. Employees with valuable experience and skills will then either leave their jobs or struggle to cope
in the workplace. From earlier research we already know that 1 in 6 carers leave work or reduce their hours to
care.
Disabled people in Barnet experience poorer life outcomes than non-disabled people. There are over 13,000 households that require support for physical disabilities and over 1,800 people require daily living assistance for neurological conditions. Barnet has adopted a social model of disability that focuses on inclusion, rights, choice and access to mainstream services rather than specialized care. Key priorities include increasing individualized budgets and partnerships with housing agencies. Barnet is also working to improve rehabilitation access and increase community-based therapy and vocational support.
Webinar: Longevity in research and policy - What Happens nextILC- UK
In this webinar Dr Brian Beach, Senior Research Fellow at ILC highlighted the trends in longevity that have driven extraordinary demographic changes and altered the way we learn and work, where and how we live, and how we deliver care. We explored these trends in the light of the coronavirus pandemic and discussed three key perspectives that should shape future research and policy development:
- Maximising the benefits of longevity;
- Addressing diversity and inequalities across the life course
- Understanding how policy can work for current as well as future generations' needs.
The document introduces the "Happily Independent" Gwent Frailty Programme which aims to help frail older people in Gwent remain independent through an integrated health and social care model. The programme will establish Community Resource Teams to provide urgent care, needs assessments, and reablement. It outlines the vision, principles, and outcomes of the programme. The programme is being implemented through various workstreams and locality groups, with the goal of launching fully integrated Community Resource Teams across Gwent by April 2011.
1) The 80+ population in the borough is projected to rise 13% over the next decade, with particularly large increases expected in the 90+ age group (46% rise) and 40-54 age group (25% rise).
2) Differences in projected population changes are explained by variations in birth rates during wartime periods and pandemics when different age groups were born.
3) Targeted outreach can help older people claim additional benefits to reduce issues like depression, poor nutrition, and social isolation often linked to low income.
The task of this generation – changing the way we all think about mental healthJames Palfreman-Kay
The document discusses challenges to mental health among young people like academic pressure, relationships, unemployment, and digital culture. It notes high rates of anxiety, depression, self-harm, and suicide among this group. Time to Change is a growing movement to reduce stigma and discrimination around mental health through initiatives in workplaces, schools, and communities. The Five Year Forward View for Mental Health calls for improved crisis care, integrated physical and mental health services, and targeting inequalities.
Sam Sly has worked in social care and helped improve services for people with learning disabilities and mental health needs. He developed an approach called "Hands Off Its My Home" to promote citizenship. Currently he is directing a 3-year project using individual budgets and service design to create personalized support for 20 people in hospital placements to transition them back to their local communities. Research shows personalized community support can save money compared to out-of-area institutional placements. The project aims to give people control over their lives rather than isolating them in large, distant facilities that cannot meet individuals' needs.
Marc Bush: Public expectations of the NHS QualityWatch
Changing landscapes, changing expectations summarizes key facts about health and social care in the UK:
- Demand is growing due to an aging population, with the NHS seeing 27,000 patients per hour and over 5 million adults providing unpaid care.
- The health and social care systems are undergoing significant changes through new legislation that the public remains confused by.
- While most people report satisfaction, deeper surveys found 1 in 3 experienced a serious mistake or abuse, and over half did nothing to report problems.
- A new vision outlines 8 consumer rights for health and social care to better meet changing public expectations.
Local Advanced Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex Sys...Oleg Kshivets
Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
