La metodología ApS refuerza la adquisición de competencias generales y específicas
2019
[EN] Service-learning (SL), through a process of action-reflection-action collaborates in an efficient and practical way to the consolidation of basic and specific competencies that contribute to a successful life and good social functioning. The aim of the work is to analyse how the SL methodology improves general and specific competences in the students. To this end, two experimental groups were formed: a) SL group; b) NO-SL group (control). Each of the groups was evaluated in specific competences (exploration of cranial pairs) and general competences (communication, adaptation,..). The results were compared using the t-Student test. The results showed that the SL group significantly impr…
La utilización de la metodología ApS refuerza la adquisición de competencias a largo plazo
2019
[EN] Service-learning (SL) is a methodology that contributes to the formation of values and the citizenship of university students, who can acquire a relevant role in the construction of a more dignified, inclusive, cohesive and equitable citizenship. The objective of the work is to quantify how the SL methodology implemented in a subject improves the competences of the students in the same course of implementation and after one year of implementation. Four experimental groups were formed: a) group LS-course 2017-2018; b) group NO-LS-course 2017-2018; c) group LS-course 2018-2019; d) group NO-LScourse 2018-2019. Each one of the groups was evaluated during the academic year 2018-2019 in the …
Training load does not affect detraining's effect on muscle volume, muscle strength and functional capacity among older adults
2017
Research underlines the potential of low-load resistance exercise in older adults. However, while the effects of detraining from high-load protocols have been established, it is not known whether gains from low-load training would be better/worse maintained. The current study evaluated the effects of 24weeks of detraining that followed 12weeks of high- and low-load resistance exercise in older adults. Fifty-six older adults (68.0±5.0years) were randomly assigned to leg press and leg extension training at either HIGH load (2×10-15 repetitions at 80% of one-repetition maximum (1-RM)), LOW load (1×80-100 repetitions at 20% of 1-RM), or LOW+ load (1×60 repetitions at 20% of 1-RM, immediately fo…
The organizational use of online stock photos: The impact of representing senior citizens as eternally youthful
2018
The digital divide due to age is declining quickly. But this does not necessarily mean that the willingness to use stock photos depicting older people accompanying digital information is the same among all senior citizens. Three research questions are at the core of this paper: (1) To which extent can various senior citizens (women and men, younger old and older old, living alone or together, full of vitality or fragile) identify with online stock photos of older people accompanying information about pensions, income, health and housing?, (2) Which are the connotations of the visual signs used in such stock photos? and (3) What are the policy implications for organizations aiming at offerin…
Folkhälsans seniorboende och aktivt åldrande : BoAktiv-studien
2019
Syftet med denna enkät-studien är att utreda samband mellan aktivt åldrande, gemenskap och delaktighet hos åldringar som bor i seniorhus. Utöver detta syftar forskningen till att producera beskrivande information om hälsa och välmående hos åldringar i seniorhus. Målgruppen var självständigt boende i Folkhälsans seniorhus. Största delen av respondenterna var över 80 år gamla, kvinnor, svenskspråkiga och bodde ensamma. De mest aktiva seniorerna hade bättre hälsorelaterad livskvalitet samt mindre symptom av depression, och deltog mer i verksamheten i seniorhuset och hade en högre känsla av samhörighet. Respondenternas känsla av samhörighet korrelerade positivt med psykiskt välmående, högre vit…
Redonner l’envie de manger aux personnes âgées en institution : impact de quatre facteurs environnementaux sur la prise alimentaire et le plaisir lié…
2012
Comme l’ont montré plusieurs travaux, l’entrée en Etablissement d’Hébergement pour Personnes Agées Dépendantes (EHPAD) s’accompagne d’une augmentation du risque de dénutrition (HAS, 2007 ; Sulmont-Rossé et al., 2012). Parmi les facteurs susceptibles d’affecter la prise alimentaire, il a été montré que l’environnement qui entoure le repas (de l’assiette à l’ambiance générale) contribuait fortement à l’appétit et à la prise alimentaire des résidents d’EHPAD (Nieuwenhuizen et al. 2009 ; Nijs et al. 2009). De fait, quatre études ont montré qu’une amélioration globale de l’environnement (changement de mobilier, décoration de la salle à manger, réorganisation du personnel…) pouvait entrainer une …

Kävijät, kokijat, kokemukset: Museologinen tutkimus Siffin senioriklubista taidemuseon keskiössä
2019
Museums have a diverse selection of professional experts participating in preparation for exhibitions and activities with the public. In museums expectations and experiences concerning the visiting public can vary from extreme openness to very traditional approaches. This research focuses on the Sinebrychoff Museum's Senior Citizen Club and its members. What makes people become involved in museum programmes and become regular visitors is the focal point of the study. When exploring the activities of the visiting public in museums, when seeing a person through operative and practical routines as a `client', a theory of recognition, but also of non-recognition, can be applied. This research c…
