Book Description
This volume brings together leading researchers on quality of life in old age to focus on one of the most important issues in both gerontology and quality of life studies. There are very few texts available on this topic and none of an international and multi-disciplinary nature. For these reasons and the high quality of the authors we have assembled, this will be a seminal text for both gerontology and quality of life researchers.

Pages : 346
Book Description
It’s a core issue at the heart of elder care: while best-practice data exist for long-term care, quality of life as a concept, measure and standard for care outcomes remains elusive. The result of an ambitious European research initiative, the Care Keys Project addresses quality of life issues among frail, care-dependent seniors, taking their social as well as health needs into account. This resulting volume explains the theory behind Care Keys, its methodology, empirical findings, and practical considerations in promoting effective, efficient elder care aimed at social and emotional well-being and including disabled and cognitively impaired patients.

EBOOK: Quality of Life and Older People

ISBN: 0335230806

Languages : en
Pages : 147
Book Description
·What is quality of life? ·How should we assess quality of life for older people? ·What are the personal and external influences on quality of life for older people? Quality of Life and Older People provides a critical approach to the conceptualization and measurement of quality of life in social gerontology and health and social care research. The book re-examines what we mean by 'quality of life' in a post-modern world, and examines the impact of continuous personal and social changes on the lives of older people. The book explores ideas about quality of life in social gerontological literature, and describes the experiences of older people through both their own personal accounts and representations in everyday life, popular culture and scientific research. In this way, the book is unique, since it reviews the way that older people talk about their quality of life and how this differs from the ways that younger people, researchers and scientists, policy makers and professionals discuss it. The book draws on a range of behavioural and social science knowledge to present a new way of thinking about and understanding quality of life and older people. While the book provides a critique of existing social science theories underpinning conceptions of quality of life it also addresses operational issues for the use of quality of life in social gerontological research. Quality of Life and Older People is essential reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students taking courses in gerontology, medicine, nursing, social work and social sciences. It is also of interest to social gerontologists and health and social care researchers, as well as to those involved in the planning and delivery of services to older adults.

An excellent line-up of 40 experts and institutions from different countries of the continent is making an effort to understand this phenomenon, which has become worrying, through a complex, retrospective, factual, current, quantified, punctual, prospective and relatively exhaustive analytical inventory. The various contributions are accompanied by strong recommendations that challenge the holders of issues for their application in a process of co-construction for an active citizenship of transformation. It is a document of advocacy/indictment and lobbying in favor of the development, protection and improvement of the social conditions of the elderly and persons with disabilities in Africa in terms of health, food, housing, environment, social protection, income maintenance, employment and education, given their increasing numbers in relative and absolute terms. The issue of socially vulnerable people is thus brought to the forefront of important, if not permanent, political-social and scientific concerns. It is the subject of recurrent investigations and reflections within the special mechanism of the African Union, the Working Group on Elderly Persons and Persons with Disabilities of the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights. The initial assignment is to build legal, psychological, socio-anthropological and political vehicles in order to initiate positive change and sustainable protection of VHPs, as well as customary protocols for their valorization in African cultures and traditions.
Réflexions psychologiques autour du vieillissement normal et pathologique
Author: Jérôme PalazzoloPublisher: Mon Petit Éditeur
ISBN: 234203931X
Category :
Languages : fr
Pages : 320
Book Description
Le vieillissement croissant de la population et l'augmentation régulière de l'espérance de vie ont conduit les pouvoirs publics et les professionnels du soin à s'intéresser de près à la santé mentale des personnes âgées, ainsi qu'à l'optimisation de la prise en charge spécifique de ces dernières. En effet, la présence éventuelle d'une maladie chronique joue un rôle majeur dans la qualité de vie du sénior. Il existe une importante variabilité interindividuelle pour ce qui concerne la réaction des individus face au vieillissement. Généralement, l'influence des facteurs génétiques diminue avec l'avancée en âge, et inversement l'importance des facteurs environnementaux augmente. Les facteurs psychologiques jouent un rôle particulier dans ce contexte. Notre but dans cet ouvrage collectif, écrit par les étudiants du Master 2 de psychologie clinique et gérontologique de l'Université de Nice – Sophia Antipolis, est de faire une synthèse objective de la question du vieillissement normal et pathologique, en abordant de manière didactique les différentes problématiques auxquelles se retrouvent confrontés le psychologue, le médecin, le patient, ses proches et l'ensemble des soignants.
Gérontologie, innovation, qualité de vie

Languages : fr
Pages : 178
Book Description
Ce nouvel ouvrage de la collection Psychologie et Vie Quotidienne est consacré aux communications et débats qui ont eu lieu lors de la 3e journée des psychogérontologues de la Région Centre (29 mars 2018), ainsi qu’aux réflexions qui s’en sont suivies. Cette journée qui avait pour thème « Innovations et qualité de vie » a été organisée à l’initiative de l’équipe « Gérontologie et vie quotidienne » du laboratoire de Psychologie des Âges de la Vie (EA-2114 ; université de Tours) par Caroline Giraudeau. Six contributions sont présentées où l’innovation allie la science et le bon sens au service de la qualité de vie des personnes âgées. Cet ouvrage utile pose les « premières pierres » de l’EHPAD de demain en fournissant des pistes d’actions concrètes, faciles et économiques. Dans une société en pleine mutation, le risque est de perdre de vue des éléments fondamentaux au bien vieillir ensemble. Les auteurs s’interrogent en s’inspirant de leur pratique, partagent leurs expériences et en présentent des conclusions originales. Parmi ces réflexions : Comment favoriser le rapport à la nature et aux animaux au cours du vieillissement ? Comment tirer avantage de l’art dans la prise en charge des personnes atteintes de la maladie d’Alzheimer ? Comment l’ouverture vers l’extérieur d’un EHPAD permet aux résidents de demeurer des citoyens ? Comment rendre hommage aux personnes défuntes au sein d’un établissement ? Quels lieux de vie alternatifs aux EHPAD pour les personnes âgées ? Cet ouvrage apporte des réponses bienveillantes et innovantes aux interrogations des professionnels. Inspirées et étayées par des recherches en psychologie de niveau international, elles s’avèrent simples à mettre en œuvre et concourent à améliorer la qualité de vie des personnes âgées en résidence, celle des familles, des soignants, et à faire évoluer la société vers un mieux-être pour tous.
