Abstract:

La presente investigación se enfocó en describir el fenómeno de la sobrecarga y su impacto en el cuidador familiar primario de adultos mayores con enfermedad de Alzheimer. Para este fin, se desarrolló un estudio cualitativo aplicando la técnica de la entrevista a 10 cuidadores primarios. La información recabada fue analizada empleando la técnica del análisis de contenido. Los principales hallazgos revelan que la mayor parte de los cuidadores presentan sobrecarga debido a que consideran el rol de cuidador como demandante, carecen de información acerca de la enfermedad y perciben la ausencia de

The pyridoxine status of these 46 subjects (the reference group) was measured in order to be able to identify people with a relatively poor B-6 status.

This option varies considerably in accessibility and structure across states; due to the nature of the state's approach to AFC, this initial research effort focused on AFC provider experiences in North Carolina. As of 2013, there were 632 AFC facilities in North Carolina (NC DHHS, 2013). AFC homes in North Carolina are licensed by the state and allow service for 2-6 residents per home (Mollica et al., 2009).

There is a paucity of treatment and survival outcomes data for the elderly owing to the rarity of neuroblastoma in this population. Currently there are no standard

Abstract:

The use of artificial means of nutrition and hydration for terminally ill patients is a controversial topic, involving medical, legal, social, and ethical issues. Often, the patient who is dying in the hospital and ceases to eat and drink receives tube feeding. In contrast, hospice patients are usually not given tube feeding, and emphasis is placed on palliative treatment. The purpose of the first project was to describe the dietary intake of twelve older adult cancer patients in home hospice care. The mean daily intakes of energy for males ranged from 657 to 2142 kcal per day, or from 28 to

Following market liberalisation in Vietnam, concern has been raised about the elderly ‘left behind’ by the urban migration of adult children from rural areas. This study used qualitative methods to examine the consequences for these elderly and the strategies they adopt to cope. It found overall positive outcomes for rural aged parents with migrant children, as long as at least one family member remained nearby. However, elderly with no remaining family members suffered more.

In addition, the willingness and ability of caregivers to privately fund these services for aging parents were explored.
