The Meaning of ‘‘Place’’ to Older Adults

Abstract Social workers are well-equipped to work with
older adults and their families. The life course perspective
provides a framework for seeing older adulthood as a stage
of life in the continuum of life as well as a stage with its
own characteristics and tasks. All the roles within social
work practice can be adapted to this population. In addi-
tion, social workers working with older adults and their
families must be cognizant of the specific issues that are
associated with aging and older adulthood. The issue of
loss on many levels is a frequent topic. One area of loss
that is not frequently addressed is the loss associated with
where one lives. The word place can have several mean-
ings. One meaning has to do with where one lives. The
second meaning of loss is about one’s status and role—
place-in-society. For older adults both meanings become
important issues as they and their families navigate the
decisions that have to be made. While residence is based on
the level of independence and competence of the older
adult, the issue of place-as-status is a constant frustration
for older adults. Issues of leaving one’s place and losing
status in the eyes of others evoke a myriad of feelings
depending on the particular older adult. But given that as
one ages there are naturally some physical and mental
acuity losses, every older adult is subject to feelings of
sadness, depression, hopelessness, and even anger. These
feelings are natural responses to loss. Among the roles of
social workers working with older adults is one of helping
a mourning process move to a healthy acceptance of one’s
aging and planning rather than devolving into major
depression.

Overview: Dr. Marcia Stanhope (2020) explained that evidence-based public health practice refers to those decisions made by using the best available evidence, data and information systems and program frameworks; engaging community stakeholders in the decision-making process; evaluating the results; and then disseminating that information to those who can use the information.
Practicum Discussion: This week, your assignment will be to incorporate all of the information you have gathered from the community—including the population itself, health data, interviews/conversations with interested community members, and your community assessment, including your Windshield Survey—as well as what you have gathered from scholarly literature to propose measureable interventions. Measureable interventions mean that the results can be measured through some data that could be collected (Stanhope, 2020). This requires thinking in terms of actions and then measuring results. An evaluation of interventions is important to see whether or not they are effective in solving a health care problem. Remember, you will need to use the data you gathered to determine whether or not a problem exists in your community and to then determine whether your interventions might be effective.
Please discuss the following points in your Practicum Discussion:
Identify one evidence-based behavior change that would promote health in your selected population.
Suggest one specific culturally sensitive, evidence-based, measureable intervention to address the health problem for your selected population.
Think in terms of measuring outcomes. What outcomes would you expect to see once the intervention(s) are in place? Be specific.

This document discusses social determinants of health and their impact on community wellness. It explains that social factors like income level, neighborhood environment, and access to resources have a significant influence on health outcomes. Only 10-15% of health is due to medical care factors, while social and economic circumstances are stronger determinants. Addressing social determinants like access to healthy food and safe places to exercise is necessary to effectively improve health, especially for chronic conditions like diabetes.

This document discusses social determinants of health and their impact on community wellness. It explains that social factors like income level, neighborhood environment, and access to resources have a significant influence on health outcomes. Only 10-15% of health is due to medical care factors, while 40% is due to individual behaviors and 30% to social and economic conditions. The document advocates for a holistic, systematic approach that addresses social determinants to improve community health and achieve the goals of better care, lower costs, and healthier populations.
Justicia social, epidemiologya e inequidad en la salud02678923
This document summarizes Michael Marmot's perspectives on social justice, epidemiology, and health inequalities based on decades of research. The key points are:
1) Marmot argues that social stratification is an appropriate topic for epidemiologists to study, as it is a major source of health variation in societies. Ignoring its effects would be ignoring a key factor.
2) While postmodern critical theory questions the social construction of science, Marmot asserts that epidemiology and public health have an important role in providing evidence to improve population health and reduce inequalities.
3) Marmot has focused on understanding the social determinants of health and how action on these determinants can reduce health inequalities. While the
This document discusses attitudes, myths and realities of old age. It notes that as populations age, negative attitudes can lead to issues like elder abuse. Common myths include beliefs that older adults are senile, unhappy, or unable to learn new things. However, older adults are diverse and most maintain intellectual abilities into their 70s. The document recommends strategies to promote positive attitudes, including older adults staying active, accessible support services, education programs targeting different groups to reduce ageism, and including older adults in training health professionals.
The document discusses three major demographic trends in the US:
1) Americans are living longer due to increased life expectancy. This is known as the "graying of America".
2) The study of aging and older people is called gerontology.
3) Differences in class, gender, and race divide older Americans into "haves" and "have-nots", with minority groups facing greater poverty and health issues.

The document outlines the stages of pre-hospital emergency care including:
1. Surveying the scene for hazards and determining if it is safe to approach the patient.
2. Performing a primary survey to identify and treat any immediate life threats.
3. Activating medical assistance and preparing for transport if the patient has serious injuries or illnesses.
4. Conducting a secondary survey and focused exam to identify and treat any additional issues that may become life threatening.
The document discusses the history and development of emergency medical systems. It originated with Napoleon's surgeon Dominique Larrey who brought wounded soldiers from the battlefield using horse-drawn litters (the first ambulances). Throughout the 19th century, emergency response systems improved in cities through the use of ambulances and telegraphs. The modern emergency medical system is a network of professionals and facilities that provides emergency care and transport. It begins with citizen responders and progresses through dispatchers, first responders, EMTs, and hospital care until definitive treatment is given.
Emergency preparedness is a program aimed at strengthening a country's capacity to efficiently manage all types of emergencies and facilitate an orderly transition from relief to recovery and sustained development. It involves developing national legislation and plans for disaster management, strengthening resources for response coordination, educating the public, and assessing community vulnerabilities. Effective emergency preparedness requires creating a supportive environment to minimize disaster impacts and coordinate efficient transitions from response to recovery according to development goals. Programs must be tailored to each community's unique context.
The document discusses the history and development of emergency medical systems. It originated with Napoleon's surgeon Dominique Larrey who brought wounded soldiers from the battlefield using horse-drawn litters. In the 1860s, emergency care principles were applied in American cities. The development of the 911 emergency number and ambulances equipped for advanced pre-hospital care have improved emergency response. The emergency medical system involves citizens, dispatchers, first responders, EMTs, hospitals, and extended care to provide emergency aid from injury or illness to definitive treatment.
An emergency plan is an agreed set of arrangements for responding to and recovering from emergencies that describes responsibilities, management structures, strategies, and resources. While some argue planning is unnecessary, emergency planning is important for several reasons: it ensures all necessary tasks and responsibilities are allocated; management arrangements are clear; and people understand their roles. Emergency planning cannot predict all contingencies but aims to reduce uncertainty by anticipating likely needs. The planning process itself is valuable for problem-solving and education even if plans are not always followed exactly during emergencies. Effective emergency planning follows a rational process involving defining the scope, analyzing hazards and resources, and outlining roles, structures, and strategies to protect life, property and the environment.
Emergency preparedness aims to strengthen capacity to withstand disasters through various measures. It requires assessing a community's vulnerability by understanding their interaction with hazards and environment. Preparedness includes developing legal frameworks, collecting risk information, strategies for response and recovery, public awareness, and organizational development. The goal is to reduce vulnerability and risk through prevention, mitigation, and increasing resilience via preparedness planning.

End-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) is the level of carbon dioxide that is released at the end of an exhaled breath. ETCO2 levels reflect the adequacy with which carbon dioxide (CO2) is carried in the blood back to the lungs and exhaled.
Non-invasive methods for ETCO2 measurement include capnometry and capnography. Capnometry provides a numerical value for ETCO2. In contrast, capnography delivers a more comprehensive measurement that is displayed in both graphical (waveform) and numerical form.
Sidestream devices can monitor both intubated and non-intubated patients, while mainstream devices are most often limited to intubated patients.

This slide is very helpful for physiotherapy students and also for other medical and healthcare students.
Here is the summary of hypotension:
Hypotension, or low blood pressure, is when the pressure of blood circulating in the body is lower than normal or expected. It's only a problem if it negatively impacts the body and causes symptoms. Normal blood pressure is usually between 90/60 mmHg and 120/80 mmHg, but pressures below 90/60 are generally considered hypotensive.

Digital India will need a big trained army of Health Informatics educated & trained manpower in India.
Presently, generalist IT manpower does most of the work in the healthcare industry in India. Academic Health Informatics education is not readily available at school & health university level or IT education institutions in India.
We look into the evolution of health informatics and its applications in the healthcare industry.
HIMMS TIGER resources are available to assist Health Informatics education.
Indian Health universities, IT Education institutions, and the healthcare industry must proactively collaborate to start health informatics courses on a big scale. An advocacy push from various stakeholders is also needed for this goal.
Health informatics has huge employment potential and provides a big business opportunity for the healthcare industry. A big pool of trained health informatics manpower can lead to product & service innovations on a global scale in India.

End-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) is the level of carbon dioxide that is released at the end of an exhaled breath. ETCO2 levels reflect the adequacy with which carbon dioxide (CO2) is carried in the blood back to the lungs and exhaled.
Non-invasive methods for ETCO2 measurement include capnometry and capnography. Capnometry provides a numerical value for ETCO2. In contrast, capnography delivers a more comprehensive measurement that is displayed in both graphical (waveform) and numerical form.
Sidestream devices can monitor both intubated and non-intubated patients, while mainstream devices are most often limited to intubated patients.

This particular slides consist of- what is hypotension,what are it's causes and it's effect on body, risk factors, symptoms,complications, diagnosis and role of physiotherapy in it.
This slide is very helpful for physiotherapy students and also for other medical and healthcare students.
Here is the summary of hypotension:
Hypotension, or low blood pressure, is when the pressure of blood circulating in the body is lower than normal or expected. It's only a problem if it negatively impacts the body and causes symptoms. Normal blood pressure is usually between 90/60 mmHg and 120/80 mmHg, but pressures below 90/60 are generally considered hypotensive.

Digital Health in India_Health Informatics Trained Manpower _DrDevTaneja_15.0...DrDevTaneja1
Digital India will need a big trained army of Health Informatics educated & trained manpower in India.
Presently, generalist IT manpower does most of the work in the healthcare industry in India. Academic Health Informatics education is not readily available at school & health university level or IT education institutions in India.
We look into the evolution of health informatics and its applications in the healthcare industry.
HIMMS TIGER resources are available to assist Health Informatics education.
Indian Health universities, IT Education institutions, and the healthcare industry must proactively collaborate to start health informatics courses on a big scale. An advocacy push from various stakeholders is also needed for this goal.
Health informatics has huge employment potential and provides a big business opportunity for the healthcare industry. A big pool of trained health informatics manpower can lead to product & service innovations on a global scale in India.

5. Introduction to
Geriatric Nursing
Historical Perspective in the Study of
Aging
Until the middle of the nineteenth
century, only two stages of human
growth and development were identified:
childhood and adulthood.
As time passed, society began to view
children differently. People learned there
are significant differences between
children of different ages, and children’s
needs change as they develop.
Childhood is now divided into substages
Recently, society also viewed adults of
all ages interchangeably.
20XX presentation title 5
6. Historical Perspective in the
Study of Aging
In the 1960s, sociologists,
psychologists, and health care providers
focused their attention on meeting the
needs of the typical or average adult:
people between 20 and 65 years of age.
In the late 1960s, research began to
indicate that adults of all ages are not
the same. At the same time, the focus of
health care shifted from illness to
wellness.
20XX presentation title 6
7. Historical Perspective in the
Study of Aging
Older adults now constitute a significant
group in society, and interest in the
study of aging is increasing.
20XX presentation title 7
8. What’s in the Name: Geriatrics,
Gerontology and Gerontics
Geriatric
comes from the Greek words “geras,”
meaning old age, and “iatro,” meaning relating
to medical treatment.
geriatrics is the medical specialty that deals
with the physiology of aging and with the
diagnosis and treatment of diseases affecting
older adults.
Geriatrics, by definition, focuses on abnormal
conditions and the medical treatment of these
conditions.
Gerontology
comes from the Greek words “gero,” meaning
related to old age, and “ology,” meaning the
study of.
Gerontology is the study of all aspects of the
aging process, including the clinical,
psychologic, economic, and sociologic
problems of older adults and the
consequences of these problems for older
adults and society.
20XX presentation title 8
9. What’s in the Name: Geriatrics,
Gerontology and Gerontics
Gerontics
or gerontic nursing, was coined by Gunter
and Estes in 1979 to define the nursing
care and the service provided to older
adults.
Gerontic nursing encompasses a holistic
view of aging with the goal of increasing
health, providing comfort, and caring for
older adult needs.

12. Aging is a complex process that can be described
chronologically, physiologically, and functionally.
Chronologic age, the number of years a person has lived,
is most often used when we speak of aging because it is the
easiest to identify and measure.
When we use chronologic age as our measure, authorities
use various systems to categorize the aging population.

13. Attitude Towards Aging
Before we look at the attitudes of others, it
is important to examine our own attitudes,
values, and knowledge about aging.

personally?
Do you think they are “old?” Do they
consider themselves “old?”
How do you personally define “old?”

18. Cultural Considerations
The Role of the Family
Cultural heritage may work as a barrier to getting help
for an older parent.
Many cultures emphasize the importance of
intergenerational obligation and dictate that it is the role
of the family to provide for both the financial and
personal assistance needs of older adults.
Nurses need to recognize the impact that culture has on
expectations and values and how these cultural values
affect the willingness to accept outside assistance.
20XX presentation title 18
19. GERONTOPHOBIA
The fear of aging and the refusal to accept older adults
into the mainstream of society.
Ageism
is the disliking of aging and older adults based on the
belief that aging makes people unattractive,
unintelligent, and unproductive. It is an emotional
prejudice or discrimination against people based solely
on age.
The combination of societal stereotyping and a lack of
positive personal experiences with older adults affect a
cross section of society.
Ageism can have a negative effect on the way health
care providers relate to older patients, which, in turn,
can result in poor health care outcomes in these
individuals.
20XX presentation title 19
21. DEMOGRAPHICS
the statistical study of human populations.
Demographers are concerned with a population’s size,
distribution, and vital statistics. Vital statistics include
birth, death, age at death, marriage(s), race, and many
other variables.
Demographic information is used by the government as
a basis for granting aid to cities and states, by cities to
project their budget needs for schools, by hospitals to
determine the number of beds needed, by public health
agencies to determine the immunization needs of a
community, and by marketers to sell products.
One important piece of demographic information is life
expectancy.

22. SCOPE OF THE AGING
POPULATION
According to the U.S. Department of State, for the first
time in recorded history, the number of people over age
65 is projected to exceed the number of children under
age 5.

23. Theories of Ageing
Objectives
1. Discuss how a theory is different from a fact.
2. Describe the most common biologic theories of aging.
3. Describe the most common psychosocial theories of
aging
20XX presentation title 23
25. Theories of Ageing
Biologic Theory
Programmed theory – everyone ha a biologic
clock
- Each individual has a genetic “progamme”
Run-out-of-program theory – every person
has a limited amount of genetic material that
will run out eventually
Rate of living theory – individuals has a finite
number of breaths or heartbeats that are
used up over time
Gene theory – existence of one or more
harmful gene that activate over time
20XX presentation title 25
26. Theories of Ageing
Biologic Theory
Error theory – errors in the RNA
protein synthesis cause errors to
occur in the cell body
Somatic mutation theory – is similar
to error theory but proposes that
aging results from DNA damage
caused by exposure to chemicals or
radiation
Free radical theory – provides one
explanation for cell damage
20XX presentation title 26
27. Theories of Ageing
Biologic Theory
Cross link or connective tissue
theory – cell molecules from
DNA and connective tissue
interact with free radicals to
cause bons that decrease the
ability of tissue to replace itself
Wear and tear theory –
presumes that the body is
similar to a machine
