Abstract:

This thesis is divided into 3 parts:Part 1 is a systematic literature review entitled ‘Living Positively with Dementia’. The notion that people living with dementia can have positive experiences in spite of - or even because of - their illness remains widely disputed. In light of this controversy and the potential conceptual and clinical importance of documenting the subjective experience of dementia in all its variations, this review examines the current research evidence relating to positive lived experience in dementia. The review uncovered 63 studies containing evidence of positive experie

Abstract:

Attitudes toward the elderly were examined in three generations through analysis of media use, gender, contact with elderly, age, factual knowledge about aging, and parental influence on attitude formation. The results revealed that age, factual knowledge, perceived ageism in mass media and parental influence were significantly related to attitude toward the elderly.

Abstract:

Lesbian and gay people are more likely to experience long-term health problems and less likely to have relationships that typically provide informal care. Whilst some researchers have suggested that care is provided by family-of-choice relationships (i.e. a network of very close friendships), there has been no research looking at what determines the organisation of care. Grounded theory was used to explore what determines the organisation of informal care for older lesbian and gay people with health problems. Fourteen mid-later life lesbian and gay people were interviewed who had experience of

Abstract:

The quality of care within residential services for older people has been a source of concern within health and social care for some time. Several attempts have been made to develop a means of assessing the quality of care; however, the nature and quality of these varies enormously. The Quest process of evaluation, which was designed as a means of assessing service quality according to the structure and process of care, is presented as a possible means of improving upon current practice. The Quest system incorporates four measures: the Service Profile, the Support Questionnaire, the Observatio

This portfolio thesis consists of three parts: a systematic literature review, an empirical paper and a set of appendices. Part one is a systematic literature review which synthesises the published qualitative literature investigating resilience in older people living with chronic illness. The review aims to explore the role that resilience plays in ageing with a chronic physical illness, and how resilience is experienced by this group of people. The synthesis resulted in eight sub-themes subsumed under three super-ordinate themes. Super-ordinate themes are ‘the resilient mindset’, ‘engaging w

The present study examined the psychometric properties of a new instrument, the Multidimensional Attitude Toward Older Adults Scale (MATOAS), administered to a total of 787 undergraduate students at a Midwestern university. Factor structure of the MATOAS was investigated with a split-sampling approach in order to cross validate the findings between exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). EFA suggested a four-factor structure with 25 items. These factors were named Respect and Appreciation (R-A), Irritation and Intolerance (I-I), Work Interests (W-I), and Socia

Abstract:

This study addresses the extent to which coping strategies can predict emotional status amongst a sample of older adult hospital patients in Perth, Western Australia. Older people are frequently in hospitals because of the large number of serious health problems that are more common in this age group. Older people vary in how well they deal with illness, and negative emotional reactions can complicate medical care. The emotional states of depression, anxiety and somatic complaints were assessed in a group of 120 older adults from two Perth hospitals. Two questionnaires were administered: the D

The purpose of this Heideggerian hermeneutical study was to explore and uncover the hidden meaning of quality of life as experienced by a population of individuals 65 years of age and beyond.

Consistent with the method, purposive sampling was used in order to gain an understanding from subjects who have experienced the phenomenon and could articulate experiences.

Abstract:

Few institutions for the elderly have counselors of any kind and the question was raised to whom the elderly could seek advice or counsel. A study of the literature confirmed that even though the number of elderly persons was increasing, few counselors, psychologists, or psychiatrists had persons over 65 as clients. The problems of elderly persons cover a wide range of concerns, (physical, psychological, social) and it is obvious that a holistic approach to assist this population is necessary.

Abstract:

In Western society competing in physically demanding sport is not considered the domain of older people. For the majority of the twentieth century older people were stereotyped as frail, socially withdrawn and dependent on health and social welfare systems. Competitive athletes on the other hand are commonly viewed as being young, strong, aggressive, physically competent and independent. Although today’s older generation are encouraged to be physically active, society does not recognise serious competition or physically intense sports as age-appropriate activities for them.

Recent research in gerontology and geriatrics has identified that one factor repeatedly associated with depression in the elderly is the presence of physical illness.

In order to investigate and clarify these relationships and concerns, a panel survey of 133 middle aged and elderly persons with recent exacerbations of various physical illne
