Abstract:
Over thirty years ago geriatric nursing, as it was then called, was at the forefront of nursing research in the United Kingdom. Concurrent with the emergence of geriatric medicine as a distinct speciality, the pioneering study of Doreen Norton and colleagues (Norton et al. 1962) served to highlight both the deficits that existed in the hospital care of older people and the enormous potential of nursing to improve the situation, particularly for the ‘irremediable’ patient (Norton 1965). Caring for those who could not be cured but required on-going support was seen to constitute ‘true nursing’ and was identified as an area of practice in which nurses should excel (Norton 1965, Wells 1980). Such potential went largely unrealised, however, as nursing focused on acute, hospital-based care (Nolan 1994). As a consequence, those working in continuing care struggled to find value in their work and patients were subjected to ‘aimless residual care’ (Evers 1991), a situation exacerbated by the continued application of the biomedical model (Reed and Watson 1994). Despite claims that nurses working with older people have ‘special skills’ (Royal College of Nursing 1993), the nature of such skills has therefore never fully been explicated. Indeed, Armstrong-Esther et al. (1994) asked what nurses currently contribute to the well-being of elderly people and, following their study, suggested that nurses must take the initiative and expand their role if ‘we are going to avoid simply warehousing the elderly until they die’. The need to act is particularly pressing at present as the spectre of ‘bed-blockers’ emerges once more and there is growing professional concern that older people may soon be denied the right to receive care from a qualified nurse (Nursing Times 1996).

Abstract:
Abstract Background NHR are the frailest group of older people and require a gerontologically attuned approach to combat multiple challenges presented to the practitioner. The in-reach ANPc liaison service aims to confront such challenges, by providing comprehensive gerontological input to all nursing home residents admitted to hospital under all specialities medical, geriatric, and surgical. Methods This service commenced in September of 2018, working 9-5 Monday to Friday with limited leave cross-cover. All nursing home residents are reviewed by a Gerontology Advanced Nurse Practitioner candidate. Each patient received comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) with recommendations for care. All had follow up 2 weeks after discharge in telephone review clinic. Results 118 nursing home residents were admitted for acute care in the study period; 96/118 (82%) were reviewed by the ANPc. 16/118 (14%) were discharged prior to review and 6/118 (5%) died within 24 hours of admission. All other patients were reviewed within 72 hours. All assessed residents had >1 recommendation for intervention to enhance care following CGA: Interventions included 31% (30/96) undiagnosed delirium identified and management advice given. 21% (20/96) had recurrent falls work up and advice. 27% (26/96) had recommendations and changes to admission medications. 37% (36/96) referrals to other HSCP therapy disciplines for complete holistic care. 11% (11/ 96) had advanced care planning regarding future illnesses. 13% (13/96) had palliative care advice and referral to community palliative care. Follow up telephone review clinics have further resulted in reduced readmission rates through liaison with NH staff post-discharge. Conclusion The high complexity of this cohort of patients requires a timely, comprehensive gerontological approach in order to provide holistic care. They require a clearly defined approach to enhance care and minimise the need for unnecessary hospitalisations.

Abstract:
The purpose of this chapter is to discuss how genetics will affect gerontological nursing. The chapter will answer two questions: (1) Which aspects of genetics will be most relevant to future gerontological nursing practice? and (2) What will be the impact of genetics on the future of gerontological nursing education and research? MEDLINE was searched for relevant articles from 1995 to 2001 using the key words aging, genetics, geriatrics, nursing education, research, and gerontology. CRISP was searched using the thesaurus terms education/planning, genetics, health education, model design/development, psychological model, pubic health curriculum, behavioral/social science research, and research nursing/genetics. A total of 101 nursing and nonnursing articles were reviewed. Research reports were selected if they focused on issues related to gerontological nursing. Articles were reviewed that had application to genetic nursing, complex diseases, and genetics.The evolution of the science of genetics will revolutionize gerontological nursing and affect future nursing education and research as the concepts of genetic science and the technology they generate are translated into everyday clinical practice. Genetic discoveries in common complex diseases will affect care provided by gerontological nurses in the 21st century. Gerontological nurses must move quickly to recognize this genetic paradigm shift and to incorporate genetics issues into their nursing practice.

ABSTRACT Objectives: To analyze and reflect on the potential applicability of the contribution of the physical resilience conceptual model of Whitson et al. in the care for older adults. Method: The present article of reflection was structured based on the consultation of articles and definition of inherent concepts, with analysis and reason of the potentialities of its application in geriatric nursing care. Results: Physical resilience is influenced by diverse stimuli. The identification of stressors and early intervention enable the delay of the functional capacity decline. In practice, the planning of interventions that depend on the innate capacity of older adults is of utmost importance. Conclusion: The trajectory outlined over a debilitating event is relevant to understand the factors that contribute to the development of frailty or pre-frailty conditions. This knowledge allows nurses to adjust their practice and contribute to the effectiveness of interventions and a better prevention of the frailty syndrome.

Abstract:
Abstract Since 1998 the Hartford Institute for Geriatric Nursing has offered a summer program designed to accelerate the development of research projects and trajectories for young scientists. This interprofessional program brings faculty and scholars together from across the globe representing all healthcare disciplines. In the week long program, scholars benefit from expert presentations and daily mentoring sessions with experts in gerontological research. In this symposium, scholars will discuss strategies they have used to successfully move from ideas for research, to development of proposals, conduct of research projects and planning career trajectories. We will present differing mentoring strategies and available mentoring opportunities for gerontological-focused scientists. Each scholar will present their work with topics including optimal medication management to sustain home placement: use of adaptive dance to improve mood and function in persons with Alzheimer’s disease; facilitating positive attitudes toward older adults in nursing students; the use of mindfulness to reduce symptoms of urinary incontinence; and, a novel intervention to reduce pressure ulcers in the nursing home.

Abstract:
Access to healthcare is needed and wanted by people of all ages and especially by those of the older population. The number of people in the 65 years of age and older population is rapidly growing with their needs expected to have a significant impact on the existing healthcare system and healthcare providers. The impact will be critical given the severe shortage of healthcare providers, especially of nurses and the rate of services being more often provided in non-hospital settings. The objectives of the study were to discover the plans of graduating nursing students as they choose their first place of employment, if they have future plans to pursue a nursing advance practice degree, and if they are very happy with their decision to become a nurse. Data for the study were obtained from a questionnaire presented to senior graduating nursing students. The findings were: (a) Most students prefer a hospital setting. (b) Younger students are three times as likely to seek out the hospital, and 1/3 of the students seek out the hospital setting because they were encouraged to become a nurse. (c) About 70% of the students want to work with their friends while 1/3 will seek the hospital worksite, as it is perceived as being the strongest resource in paying back loans. (d) Nearly 87% are considering the nursing advance practice role, and 52% have interest in the nurse practitioner role. The majority of students identified as very happy with their decision to become a nurse. This study provided insight for schools of nursing as they make curriculum decisions and to businesses as they learn of the preferences and plans of the new emerging nurses.

Abstract:
The current status of gerontological nursing curricula in Canadian generic baccalaureate nursing programs has not been studied. As the Canadian society changes the health care system is struggling to provide adequate health care to the growing population over the age of 65. Nurses must be prepared to assist the elderly in the community and in institutions to cope with increasing disabilities. Therefore, the study of gerontological nursing should be a requirement in a nurses' basic education to prepare them to work with older clients in all settings. This study used a survey methodology to determine the present status of gerontological content in baccalaureate nursing education curricula. Questionnaires were sent to each of the 22 deans/directors of the Canadian generic baccalaureate nursing programs and to 31 provincial reputational "experts" in the field of gerontology. A return rate of 90% and 93% was obtained respectively. The study asked five questions: 1) What nursing model or concepts are used by the generic baccalaureate schools of nursing? 2) What gerontological content is included in these programs? 3) What gerontological content is integrated in courses or taught in required or elective specific gerontology courses? 4) What gerontological clinical experiences are required? and 5) Are faculty academically prepared to teach gerontological content? Answers to these questions were compared with similar questions asked of reputational "experts". A quarter of the schools did not use nursing concepts or models while many schools chose a nursing model which was not consistent with their philosophy of health. Ninety percent of the schools taught gerontology content in integrated courses; half of the schools also offered a specific gerontology course of which 40% were elective courses. Even though all 49 listed gerontology topics and 28 patient problems and care techniques were taught by the majority of the schools there is little evidence the schools are producing gerontology prepared nurses. The gerontology clinical hours accounted for only 7.4% of the total clinical experiences. The "experts" recommended gerontology receive 21% of the clinical hours and that it be dispersed in a variety of community and clinical settings. Few (5%) faculty members were prepared with a post graduate degree in gerontology to act as positive role models for the students. Few (2%) students chose a gerontology practicum in their last year. The findings and recommendations are meant to assist educators with the task of expanding the gerontological curricula in generic baccalaureate nursing programs. The nine recommendations address ways to assist schools to reevaluate their curriculum and improve nursing care to the elderly in Canadian society.

Abstract:
Introdução: a vulnerabilidade é um conceito que visa ampliar a compreensão da condição de saúde do ser humano. Posto isto, o objetivo geral deste estudo foi analisar a vulnerabilidade individual, social e programática entre idosos que vivem no domicílio e sua associação com os desfechos adversos relacionados aos indicadores da condição de saúde, e mapeá-los espacialmente. Método: trata-se de um estudo epidemiológico de base populacional, do tipo inquérito domiciliar, transversal e observacional, desenvolvido no município de Uberaba (MG). Constituíram a amostra final 701 idosos selecionados por meio da amostragem por conglomerado em múltiplo estágio. Para avaliação do componente individual recorreu-se ao fenótipo de fragilidade; o programático por meio de um indicador de acesso e utilização do serviço de saúde; o social mediante a distribuição espacial dos setores censitários do município deste estudo. Procedeu-se análise descritiva, análise de componentes principais, teste qui-quadrado e modelos de regressão logística, logística multinomial e linear (p<0,05). A análise espacial foi realizada por meio de mapas temáticos. Resultados: constatou-se que 32,0 % dos idosos apresentava as três condições de vulnerabilidade (individual, social e programática) concomitantemente. Evidenciaram-se como fatores associados à condição de fragilidade física: sexo feminino (p=0,015) e faixas etárias de 70 a 79 anos (p=0,013) e 80 anos ou mais (p<0,001). Para condição de elevada/muito elevada vulnerabilidade social predominaram: faixas etárias de 60+ 70 anos (p=0,009) e 70+ 80 anos (p=0,039); ausência de escolaridade (p<0,001) (p<0,001) e 1+4 anos de estudo (p=0,001); e renda mensal < 1 salário mínimo (p=0,007), 1 salário (p=0,013) e 1+3 salários (p=0,027). Já os fatores associados à moderada vulnerabilidade programática foram: faixa etária 70+ 80 anos (p=0,039); não possuir escolaridade (p=0,017), 1+4 anos de estudo (p=0,003) e 4+9 anos de estudo (p=0,029). Na análise de associação entre os componentes da vulnerabilidade, constatou-se menor proporção de idosos frágeis com elevada vulnerabilidade programática quando comparados aos pré-frágeis e não frágeis (p=0,011). Na distribuição espacial dos desfechos adversos de saúde segundo a vulnerabilidade social, houve maior ocorrência de quedas, dependência para AIVD e péssima/má autopercepção de saúde entre idosos residentes em áreas de elevada/muito elevada vulnerabilidade social comparados aos demais. Em relação à associação entre os componentes de vulnerabilidade e os desfechos de saúde, observou-se associação da fragilidade física com todos os desfechos analisados (quedas, hospitalização, dependência para ABVD e AIVD, autopercepção de saúde e número de morbidade). O componente social associou-se à dependência para ABVD e AIVD e à autopercepção de saúde. Já o componente programático permaneceu associado apenas ao maior número de morbidade. Conclusão: os resultados evidenciaram que os idosos estão sujeitos às condições de vulnerabilidade sob as perspectivas biológica, social e no acesso e utilização de serviços de saúde. Infere-se que os componentes individual, social e programático de vulnerabilidade podem influenciar nas condições de saúde de idosos, sendo que a fragilidade física se relacionou a todos os desfechos analisados
Vulnerability is a concept intended to broaden understanding regarding the health condition of people. This study\'s general objective was to analyze the individual, social and programmatic vulnerability of elderly individuals living in the community and its association with adverse outcomes related to health status indicators, in addition to mapping them spatially. Method: This population-based, cross-sectional and observational epidemiological study included a survey conducted in the individuals\' homes in the city of Uberaba, MG, Brazil. The final sample included 701 elderly individuals selected through multistage cluster sampling. The fragility phenotype was used to assess the individual component; the programmatic component was verified through an indicator for access and attendance to health services; and the social component was verified through the spatial distribution of the census sector of the city under study. Descriptive analysis, principal components analysis, and the Chi-square test, in addition to logistic regression models and multinomial logistic regression (p<0.05) were performed. Spatial analysis was conducted using thematic maps. Results: 32.0% of the elderly individuals concomitantly presented three vulnerability conditions (individual, social and programmatic). The factors that appeared associated with a physically frail condition were: being a woman (p=0.015), aged from 70 to 79 years old (p=0.013) or 80 years old or older (p<0.001). The following predominated for conditions of high social vulnerability: aged from 60+ 70 years old (p=0.009) and 70+ 80 years old (p=0.039); no formal education (p<0.001) (p<0.001) and 1+4 years of schooling (p=0.001); and monthly income < 1 times the minimum wage (p=0.007), 1 times the minimum wage (p=0.013) and 1+3 times the minimum wage (p=0.027). The factors associated with moderate programmatic vulnerability were: ages between 70+ 80 (p=0.039); no formal education (p=0.017), 1+4 years of schooling (p=0,003) and 4+9 years of schooling (p=0,029). Analysis of association among vulnerability components revealed a lower proportion of frail elderly individuals with high programmatic vulnerability when compared to their pre-frail and non-frail counterparts (p=0.011). The spatial distribution of adverse health outcomes according to social vulnerability revealed a greater occurrence of falls, dependency for IADLs, and poor/very poor self-perception of health status among those living in areas of high/very high social vulnerability compared to their counterparts. In regard to association among vulnerability components and health outcomes, physical frailty was associated with all outcomes (falls, hospitalization, dependency for ADLs and IADLs, self-perception of health and number of morbidities). The social component was associated with ADL and IADL dependency and self-perception of health. The programmatic component remained associated only with a greater number of morbidities. Conclusion: The results evidenced that elderly individuals are subject to vulnerable conditions from a biological and social perspective also considering access and use of health services. The results suggest that individual, social and programmatic components of vulnerability influence the health conditions of elderly individuals, while physical frailty was related to all the outcomes under study

In this work, the focus of the inquiry is come back toward (1) the configuration of Ample Geriatric Evaluation and the effect of its use in the scope of the Alive Program more good best age (a set of activities proposals for an operator of plans of health in the São Paulo city) e, also, for (2) the quarrel of the contribution of the nursing in the promotion of health of the aged one. The use of the Ample Geriatric Evalution , disgnostic instrument considered by Warren (1930), has been tied with the adoption of new a paradigm in the attention to the health of the aged one, in function of the instauration of a differentiated look - more full and humanized - to approach the health condition and to guide therapeutical come back toward the improvement of the quality of life of this age segment. A qualitative boarding of the data - gotten through the accomplishment of interviews half-structuralized with participant citizens of the related Program associates to the notations, made for me (observing participant) of the accompaniment of the same ones -, was taken as one of the ways (beyond the quarrel properly theoretician) to make possible the commitment of inquiry with the object of this study. One notices that I gave priority when saying of the aged ones. I clarify, still, that the directed reflection took as reference theoretician-methodological the works of Canguilhem (1966), Beauvoir (1970), Geertz (1989) e Bogdan (1994). In the first chapter, I explore the concepts of health and illness and the way as such reflection (directed in the Medicine) has produced effect in the field of the Gerontology. I looked for to make to be valid the beddings of this field (that if distance of an exclusively biological vision of the aging and the oldness) to problematize the subjective-social condition of the aged ones submitted to the Ample Geriatric Evaluation. In as the chapter, what it is in cause is the joint of the team to multidiscipline required for the accomplishment of ample the geriatric evaluation - with prominence for the contribution of the nursing. What it was intended was, from a critical reading of representative authors of this field, to designate its necessary opening to the beddings that underpin the reflection directed in the gerontological studies. Finally, in the third chapter, I offer an interpretation of the data collected in the field research. The results of this enterprise had indicated that she is necessary to place in relief, in the specific formation required the nurse, a resizing of the health notion that includes the opening of listening for the complex demands restored in the practical one of care with the aged one. This creates the requirement of installation of the paradigm to interdisciplinary in the area of the health, what it implies, of my point of view, to take the aged one as protagonist of changes so that to live the oldness well it is possibility each time next to the reality (in such a way of the social point of view, as subjective). I wait that the debate carried through here contributes the reflection and awareness of the multiprofessional team of health on ample the geriatric evaluation and its function of disgnostic complementation, with emphasis in the education in health
Neste trabalho, o foco da investigação está voltado para (1) a configuração da Avaliação Geriátrica Ampla (AGA) e os efeitos da sua utilização no âmbito do Programa Viva melhor a melhor idade (um conjunto de atividades propostas por uma operadora de planos de saúde na cidade São Paulo) e, também, para (2) a discussão da contribuição da enfermagem na promoção de saúde do idoso. A utilização da AGA, instrumento diagnóstico proposto por Warren (1930), tem sido vinculada à adoção de um novo paradigma na atenção à saúde do idoso, em função da instauração de um olhar diferenciado - mais integral e humanizado para abordar a condição de saúde e orientar terapêuticas voltadas para a melhoria da qualidade de vida desse segmento etário. Uma abordagem qualitativa dos dados - obtidos através da realização de entrevistas semi-estruturadas com sujeitos participantes do referido Programa associadas às anotações, feitas por mim (observadora participante) do acompanhamento dos mesmos -, foi tomada como um dos meios (além da discussão propriamente teórica) para viabilizar o compromisso de investigação com o objeto deste estudo. Note-se que dei prioridade ao dizer dos idosos. Esclareço, ainda, que a reflexão encaminhada tomou como referencial teórico-metodológico os trabalhos de Canguilhem (1966), Beauvoir (1970), Geertz (1989) e Bogdan (1994). No primeiro capítulo, exploro os conceitos de saúde e doença e o modo como tal reflexão (encaminhada na Medicina) tem produzido efeitos no campo da Gerontologia. Procurei fazer valer os fundamentos deste campo (que se distancia de uma visão exclusivamente biológica do envelhecimento e da velhice) para problematizar a condição subjetivo-social dos idosos submetidos à AGA. No segundo capítulo, o que está em causa é a articulação da equipe multidisciplinar requerida para a realização da avaliação geriátrica ampla - com destaque para a contribuição da enfermagem. O que se pretendeu foi, a partir de uma leitura crítica de autores representativos desse campo, assinalar sua necessária abertura aos fundamentos que alicerçam a reflexão encaminhada nos estudos gerontológicos. Finalmente, no terceiro capítulo, ofereço uma interpretação dos dados coletados na pesquisa de campo. Os resultados desse empreendimento indicaram que é preciso colocar em relevo, na formação específica requerida ao enfermeiro, um redimensionamento da noção de saúde que inclua a abertura da escuta para as complexas demandas instauradas na prática de cuidado com o idoso. Isso cria a exigência de assunção do paradigma interdisciplinar na área da saúde, o que implica, do meu ponto de vista, tomar o idoso como protagonista de mudanças para que viver bem a velhice seja possibilidade cada vez mais próxima da realidade (tanto do ponto de vista social, como subjetivo). Espero que o debate aqui realizado contribua a reflexão e conscientização da equipe multiprofissional de saúde sobre a avaliação geriátrica ampla e a sua função de complementação diagnóstica, com ênfase na educação em saúde

Abstract:
The population of older adults has grown rapidly in recent years and is expected to continue to grow into the middle of this century. The aging of the population means that nurses need to have specialized gerontological knowledge in order to properly care for older adults. In spite of the current need for specialists in this field, gerontological nursing is not a popular choice and nurses often lack adequate preparation to care for older adults. The complex reasons behind these issues are rooted in the history of the development of this specialty. This study takes a historical look at the development of gerontological nursing in British Columbia through the stories of seven nurse educators who were leaders and innovators in their field. The findings of the study tell a story of the nurses’ work to change unacceptable nursing practice, improve standards of care and professional status of gerontological nursing and advocate for older adults. In doing so, these nurses challenged cultural values about aging and care of older adults and worked toward giving gerontological nurses a voice in policy and decision-making. The findings from this study can be used to guide today’s gerontological nurses as they continue to develop this specialized field of nursing knowledge.

Abstract:
The home health industry's introduction to managed care raises the prospect of reduced access to health care and poor outcomes for a vulnerable segment of our population—the rural elderly. Before effective intervention strategies can be accurately evaluated, a clearer picture of the sociodemographic features and home care service consumption is needed for this understudied group. The study was intended to provide a basis for future research into the evaluation of alternative methods of delivering effective care in terms of outcome and decreased cost for this population. A retrospective descriptive analysis was made of the patient record for the first six months of care from a proprietary home health agency. Eighty-one charts were examined and features such as age, race, gender, socioeconomic level, functional limitations, family support and literacy were analyzed to provide a profile of the patient population. Resource consumption was measured in terms of the type and frequency of disciplines intervening in each case. Comparison was made between the characteristics of the sample and the resource use. The study provided a composite view of the typical patient: Caucasian, literate, low income female, between 70-80 years of age, without family support. No clear linkage between specific characteristics and resource consumption was found; there was a broad range in the numbers of visits made to patients.

Abstract:
The role of group activity participation in depression among a group of residents (N=65), age 80 and older, in a nursing home was examined using the framework of Roy's Adaptation Theory and Nolen-Hoeksema's Response Style Theory of Depression. Roy views depression as a maladaptation. Nolen-Hoeksema views group activity participation as a therapeutic distraction to break depressed moods and thus allow for positive adaptation. This study utilized data from medical records, group activity attendance, and self-report questionnaires. Demographic distributions were computed and correlational statistics were performed between subjects' participation and their degree of depression, pain experience, functional status, presence of social support, and perception of benefits. Results show a negative correlation between frequency of participation and Geriatric Depression Scale score (GDS). The wide range of measured frequencies among low GDS-scored subjects suggests that less depressed individuals exercise more freedom of choice to participate than those who are more depressed. Significant finding show a positive correlation of group activity participation with functional status in terms of ambulation. Data shows that the experience of pain was not a significant deterrent to participation. The presence of social support from the staff and family did not increase participation. However there is a lesser GDS score among subjects who had recent family/friends visit suggesting a positive role of family in decreasing depression. These results are significant not only for optimizing group therapeutic effects but also for understanding basic human and environmental correlates of depression. Study limitations are pointed out and recommendations are presented.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Background: Geriatric depression is a mental and emotional disorder affecting older adults. Social support is an important factor known to moderate the deleterious effects of stress in elderly. This study aimed to determine factors affecting depression symptom in the elderly using PRECEDE PROCEED model. Subjects and Method: A cross sectional study was conducted in Surakarta, Central Java. A sample of 200 elderly was selected for this study by cluster random sampling. The dependent variable was depression. The independent variables were gender, marital status, residence, education, family support, and peer support. The data were collected by questionnaire and analyzed by a multiple linear regression run on Stata 13. Results: The risk of depression in elderly increased with female (b= 5.53; 95% CI= 3.38 to 7.70; p<0.001), unmarried (b= 4.15; 95% CI=1.36 to 6.95; p= 0.004), and living at nursing home (b= 8.16; 95% CI= 5.26 to 11.06; p<0.001). The risk of depression decreased with high education (b= -5.51; 95% CI= -7.49 to -3.51; p<0.001), strong peer support (b= -2.75; 95% CI= -4.92 to -0.58; p= 0.013), and strong family support (b= -5.02; 95% CI= -7.96 to -2.09; p<0.001). Conclusion: The risk of depression in elderly increases with female, unmarried, and living at nursing home. The risk of depression decreases with high education, strong peer support, and strong family support. Keywords: depression, elderly Correspondence: Zela Tunurrohmin.
