Abstract:

A group of 101 older adults (sixty-five years of age and over) who lived independently in three retirement apartment residences in Denton, Texas, were asked about their patterns of reading, television viewing, and radio listening habits for two periods in their lives: (1) at age forty to fifty-five and (2) at the present. Respondents were asked about their use of external information sources (public library, grocery store, newsstand, etc.) and their use of proximate information sources (radio, friends/relatives, television, etc.) They were also asked about access to transportation, income sati

Abstract:

With the population increasing, and the occupancy and dependency levels of older people in residential care rising, it is essential to examine the factors surrounding admission. The reasons for an older person choosing to move to residential care in New Zealand are not well documented, and little evidence surrounds the process. Clearly there is interplay of many factors, such as risk mitigation by health professionals, co-morbid disease, and concerns of the family. Objective: To seek out the significant factors and influences which persuade an older person to enter residential care, and the su

Atypical antipsychotic treatment in both children and adults carries significant risk for excessive weight gain that varies widely across individuals. This variation suggests genetic and/or environmental factors are involved in antipsychotic-induced weight gain. This thesis aimed to: 1) provide a systematic review and meta-analysis of the effects of atypical antipsychotics in children and adolescents on weight gain; 2) genotype three specific genes (HTR2C receptors, LEP and LEPR) which are thought to be likely candidates for association between risperidone and weight gain in young people; 3) a

Abstract:

Traditionally the biomedical approach has characterised dementia care. This approach predominantly attributes the patient's presentation and deterioration to the dementia. A more holistic approach to dementia care involves considering a range of factors, in addition to the dementia, that may account for the patient's presentation and deterioration; these include psychogenic, biogenic, social and environmental factors. The current thesis sought to explore the impact of some of these potential factors. Caregivers play a vital role in looking after people with dementia. Caregiver presentation may

Globalisation and the skills shortage worldwide has increased the mobility of employees, and in turn, given employees access to more job opportunities globally. The mobility of employees makes employee retention more challenging than ever before. The topic of employee retention has been vastly researched over the years and human resource practitioners have identified multiple factors which influence employees’ intention to stay. This study focuses on six variables which were found to influence an employee’s intention to stay: job satisfaction, supervisor support, compensation, career advanceme

Abstract:

The major purpose of this study was to test a hypothesized structural model that included many of the variables that have been found to influence people's attitudes toward seeking psychological help and investigate if these variables and their inter-relationships are different for young versus older adults. This study offers a more comprehensive investigation than previous research by testing and modifying two structural models of help-seeking attitudes, one for young adults and one for older adults. This makes it possible to examine how these variables differ for the two age groups.

Abstract:

Introduction Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterised by inattention, hyperactivity, and/or impulsivity. ADHD can manifest itself as predominantly inattentive, predominantly hyperactive-impulsive, or a combination of both. Whilst the exact cause of ADHD is unknown, it is believed that the major contributing factors are genetics and environmental factors such as psychosocial adversity, pregnancy and birth complications, and exposure to toxins. ADHD is primarily a childhood disorder; however, it often persists into adolescence and adulthood.

Community care has been an explicit policy goal in the United Kingdom since the end of the 1940s. The policy had traditionally taken the form of the provision of help and support in non-institutional settings, usually in the individual's own home. The services provided are intended to keep the individual in the community and out of institutions. Statistical data would suggest that there has been a huge expansion in domiciliary welfare provision. However, recent studies of such services suggest that the real gains made have not increased to the same degree as the per capita expansion in-service

In recent years, cities worldwide have employed various tactics to control homeless people's use of urban space. Yet such measures never fully accomplish their goal, because homeless people develop ways to adapt the hostile landscape. In so doing, they not only respond to tactics of spatial control but they also create their own conceptions of urban space that serve to compensate for the structural systems that fail or even punish them. Thus, just as legal categories of property ownership leave homeless people without access to private spaces, they in turn create their own concepts of ownershi
