Successful Ageing Theory

The patients they need to take care of may range from premature infants with undeveloped lungs to elderly patients who have diseased lungs. Given that breathing is essential to life, it is no doubt that your role as an RT can make a huge impact in the lives of many people. Your compassion and expertise may give someone a chance to enjoy his life longer. Anyone working in the healthcare industry must be competent enough to address the needs of the people they serve. Hence, a good education is extremely important.

The three interrelated pathways that is connected to educational attainment which also is liked with health are health knowledge and behaviors, employment and income, and social and psychological factors. Health knowledge and behaviors is pertained individuals that are heavily involved in health promotion and actively taking part in health-related activities in keeping a healthy lifestyle. Employment and income pathways relates to individuals with more education which are more inclined to having a greater likelihood of employment and having a job with healthier working conditions, higher wages, and better employment benefits. Social and phycological pathway targets reductions of stress, this influences health-related behaviors and giving practical

Abstract: The active ageing paradigm aims to contribute to the expectation of a long, autonomous, independent and healthy life. Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) promotes the development of technological solutions that might have a key role not only to optimize the support services for older adults but also for the mitigation of their disabilities. This paper presents a systematic literature review of the impact of AAL technologies, products and services in terms of health-related outcomes. Its main objective is to contribute for the understanding of how state-of-art AAL solutions might influence health conditions and quality of life of older adults. The method used to conduct this systematic literature review followed the PRISMA guidelines.

Kitwood (1997,p.8) defines personhood as: ‘..a standing or status bestowed upon one human being by others in the context of particular social relationships and institutional arrangements. It implies recognition, respect and trust’. In an article looking at older people and dementia, Mitchell & Agnelli (2015) suggest that Kitwood’s theories of positive person work and malignant social psychology facilitate healthcare workers in implementing person-centred practices for the older person. They question whether the psychological needs of older people with cognitive deficits are sufficiently met in the clinical area and state that there must be an increased focus on Kitwood’s theories in order to improve care for these

The purpose of this posting is to discuss ageing adults and gerontological nursing, why fewer nursing students are choosing gerontological nursing as a speciality, and what can be done to increase the interest in this area of nursing. My definition of gerontological nursing is the nursing profession that refers to older adults. By collaborating with them and their families, gerontological nurses offer support to healthy ageing, improve and maximize functioning, and enhance the quality of ageing. It is obvious that there is world aspect of population ageing.

This perspective takes a great number of factors such as lifespan of a person, his/her psychical and emotional state as these factors which influence his/her well being greatly and that is why, it is vital for nursing to take them into account and integrated them into nursing to achieve the best results. It should be said that personally I take this perspective as the most important one as it is closely connected with our

However, well-being is often incorporated into the concept of successful ageing and ageing well adds to the quality of life. It might also be possible that there are definitions of health which are akin to that of quality of life, for example, health as going and doing something meaningful. 2.5.2 Quality of life in the Third Age

The growth and development of our health care services are improving continuously from day to day. As this condition continues, we as a part of the health care providers should take the patient’s autonomy as an imperative issue so that a good quality of service can be rendered effectively and at the same time falls beyond their expectation level. Recently, patient’s right is the most popular term that has been mention in most of the health sciences literature and practice which make it become an important part to be prioritized throughout this modern health care practice (Almoajel, 2012).

1. Introduction 1.1 Background Information on EHR In recent years, there has been a growing interest in EHR adoption in many countries this is due to an increasing recognition that a stronger health information technology (HIT) is crucial to achieve a higher quality care at lower costs. EHR has been identified to be an important integral part of an efficient health care information system that guarantees positive health outcomes1-3. According to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), EHR is defined as a repository of patient data in digital form, stored and exchanged securely, and accessible by multiple authorized users4.

They therefore communicate better, form stronger relationships, achieve greater success at work, and lead a more fulfilling life. John Gottman was right when he said "In the last decade or so, science has discovered a tremendous amount about the role emotions play in our lives. Researchers have found that even more than IQ, your emotional awareness and abilities to handle feelings will determine your success and happiness in all walks of life, including family relationships." Emotional Intelligence consists of five basic components namely self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy and social skills. The first three competencies are intra-personal and concern your ability to know and manage yourself.

Although there are many positive developments that are occurring, there are additional challenges that the elderly face e.g. economic challenges, health issues, and emotional issues. Successful Aging is a notion that certain variables differentiate between aging well or experiencing difficulty (Martin, 2012). Individuals who are moderately, physically active, have a greater level of social interaction, this includes additional activities/hobbies and exercise regularly appears to have a greater

Our proposal is to set up a policy that financially assists adults as they become older. An account will be created to help support the long-term health care for adults. The benefits from this policy is to help ensure the long-term care and to assist financially with medical expenses. Some services that this policy can assist with are hospital visits, hospice, nursing home care, home healthcare, medical equipment and medications. We feel that our policy will better prepare aging adults for long-term health care, rather than other alternatives that have already been explored, for example medicare.

This is due to an increasing recognition that a stronger DSS is crucial to achieve a high quality of patients care and safety.1,2 DSS is a class of computerized information system that supports decision-making activities.2 It uses patient data to provide tailored patient assessments and evidence-based treatment recommendations for healthcare providers to consider.2,3 DSS can vary greatly in design and function, undergoing a constant evolution of their scope and application.4 My favorite DSS is Isabel; I preferred this DSS to other DSSs based on the following reasons:

What do you think has increased the longevity of this age category? I believe what increased the longevity of the aged category are all of the different physicians and Nurses that specialize in the health and wellbeing of our senior population. Also, different resources and actives such as job place programs that are offered to keep this population active and in the community. Some cases we have seniors that are home bounded and need a different type of assisting there are programs that cater to their
