Abstract:

La disfagia orofaríngea (DO) es la dificultad para formar y/o mover con seguridad y eficacia el bolo alimentario de la boca al esófago. A pesar de su alta prevalencia en ancianos, y de su asociación a graves complicaciones respiratorias y nutricionales, la DO y la malnutrición (MN), son trastornos infradiagnosticados e infratratados en estos pacientes. La primera hipótesis de esta tesis es que es posible establecer la prevalencia de DO y MN en una cohorte de ancianos hospitalizados en una unidad de agudos median

Abstract:

In order to create more efficient, useful alcohol treatment and intervention methods tailored specifically for the older population, it is important to understand the reasons that older adults perceive that they consume alcohol. For this reason, this study explored older adults’ perceptions regarding why they use alcohol. Older adults, age 60 and older, were surveyed through questionnaires completed at senior community centers within San Bernardino County. This was a mixed method design that used qualitative and quantitative analysis for the purpose of exploring the most frequently reported re

Abstract:

This hermeneutical study interprets and describes the phenomena of ageing and living with disability. The lived experiences of 14 older men and the horizon of this researcher developed an understanding of what it is like for men to grow old and, for some, to live with the effects of a major disability. The study is grounded in the philosophical hermeneutics of Gadamer and framed in the context of embodiment, masculinity, and narrative. I conducted multiple in-depth interviews with older men aged from 67 to 83 years of age. Seven of the participants had experienced a stroke and I was able to

I therefore feel empowered to quote a Beatles' song that asks, on behalf of all older persons, and I quote: Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I'm 64? I trust the answer is yes, older people will be provided for, and yes, older people will be needed in the twenty-first century.

Abstract:

This qualitative descriptive study described how seven older homeless women with depression characterized their homelessness, depression, and aging.

The women described feeling depressed and most had received treatment for depression; however they did not describe their depression as hindering their ability to find housing. The themes were aging, homelessness, depression, and chronic health conditions. Homelessness contained the subthemes of addicti

Falls are a major cause of injury fear of falling and death affecting 24% of older people annually. Falls have a major impact on hospital services, are an important cause of carer strain and admission to long term care. Multifactorial interventions delivered to fallers are effective in reducing falls rates by 25%. However, no UK studies have evaluated the role of screening older people living in the community and offering those at high risk a falls prevention programme.

Underpinned by Bandura’s social-cognitive theory (SCT), this thesis examined the perceptions of physical activity (PA) in healthy and unhealthy older adults, and examined imagery as a potential strategy to promote PA. Focus groups with healthy older adults (Chapter 2) and those diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (Chapter 3) examined how PA is incorporated into daily living, and the unique barriers and enablers of PA in older adults. The subsequent chapters focus on the role of imagery as a strategy to increase PA. Using the revised applied model of deliberate imagery u

Abstract:

Opioids are the most powerful pain relievers currently known (Huang & Mallet, 2013) and opioid abuse is considered a significant public health crisis (Pezalla, Rozen, Erensen, Haddox, & Mayne, 2017). Older adults face elevated risks for opioid abuse given the unique pain reported by many late adults (Wilder-Smith, 2012) and the potential for overuse of opioids is especially high given the growing population of older adults in the U.S. (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2003).
