Developing a Serious Game for Nurse Education.

2018

Future nursing education is challenged to develop innovative and effective programs that align with current changes in health care and to educate nurses with a high level of clinical reasoning skills, evidence-based knowledge, and professional autonomy. Serious games (SGs) are computer-based simulations that combine knowledge and skills development with video game–playing aspects to enable active, experiential, situated, and problem-based learning. In a PhD project, a video-based SG was developed to teach nursing students nursing care for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in home health care and hospital settings. The current article summarizes the process of the SG devel…

“I do those things to pass the time.”: Active ageing during fourth age

2021

Active ageing is a dominant but disputed discourse in the field of ageing. Since it is usually associated with the third age, this article will focus on the active ageing of older adults who need care and services, who are known as the fourth agers. Our data consists of interviews collected from 16 older adults. We analysed the data through content analysis that was guided by the Active Ageing Index (AAI) that is a measuring tool concerning active ageing. According to our results, active ageing during the fourth age can be understood through the lens of small actions and precarity. Although some actions had to be given up or modified, participants were active in various ways, and help from …

Digital ageing in Europe: a comparative analysis of Italian, Finnish and Swedish national policies on eHealth

2023

AbstractAgeing Europeans are today healthier than previous generations and often manage to live independently up to a high age. The proportion of people 80 years of age and older has increased significantly, and with high age the risk of multi-illness and dementia increases. Strong urbanisation processes have changed the demographic structure in rural areas, and young women and men have migrated towards the urban areas to study and work, while older persons have remained behind. This demographic challenge of increasing numbers of persons older than 80 years with care needs living in remote rural areas has become a major European social problem. In tackling this dilemma, many European countr…

Psychometric Properties of and Measurement Invariance in the Questionnaire of Stereotypes Toward Older Adulthood in Health Care College Students and …

2023

Background In health professionals, negative stereotypes toward older adulthood have been associated with the difficulty in recognizing pathological processes and the refusal to care for older patients because of assuming that communication with them will be uncomfortable and frustrating. For these reasons, research on stereotypes in these groups has acquired growing importance. The usual strategy to identify and evaluate agist stereotypes is to use scales and questionnaires. Although multiple scales are currently used, in Latin America, the Questionnaire for the Evaluation of Negative Stereotypes Toward Older Adulthood (Cuestionario de Estereotipos Negativos sobre la Vejez [CENVE]), devel…

Envejecimiento y bienestar: Avances en investigación

2009

Los importantes cambios demográficos del último siglo han provocado un aumento de la longevidad y, por tanto, del número de adultos mayores, lo cual ha provocado un incremento en la investigación con este grupo de edad y más concretamente en relación con el bienestar. Así, se ha podido constatar que en el envejecimiento, el bienestar subjetivo, compuesto por un componente cognitivo y otro afectivo tanto negativo como positivo, parece mantenerse estable y poco sujeto a cambiar con el tiempo. Por otra parte, en relación con el bienestar psicológico, estudiado a partir de las escalas de bienestar de Ryff, se ha observado, en diferentes trabajos, que las dimensiones crecimiento personal y propó…

Modelo de atención gerontológica centrado en la persona y los cambios en la cultura de gestión económica de las residencias de mayores en España

2013

En los últimos años estamos atendiendo a un proceso de cambio a nivel internacional en la manera de cuidar a los mayores en el ámbito social. Es la atención gerontológica centrada en la persona. Este nuevo modelo de cuidado ha provocado también una revisión de los principios y métodos de gestionar los servicios sociales destinados a los mayores. En este artículo se comentan los cambios que se están produciendo a nivel de las residencias de personas mayores en España. Un enfoque más personal supone que se tengan en cuenta ahora más que antes los valores de los usuarios de estos servicios. Esto supone que hay que sustituir el habitual enfoque basado sólo en los valores del profesional. El may…

Nowadays, the appearance of sarcopenia (S) or sarcopenic obesity (SO) is related to aging. According to the criteria of the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP), the feasibility of using salivary cortisol and testosterone levels was analyzed as diagnostic biomarkers of S or SO.
