Pomoc społeczna a jakość życia osób starszych
2013
Postęp cywilizacji oraz towarzyszące mu procesy nie tylko przyczyniają się do wydłużenia życia ludzkiego, ale także ujawniają niedomagania związane z koniecznością opieki nad ludźmi w okresie późnej adolescencji. Starzenie się jest naturalnym procesem w życiu każdego człowieka związanym nie tylko ze zmianami fizjologicznymi, które zachodzą w jego organizmie, ale także psychicznymi i społecznymi. Zwiększająca się liczba osób starszych wymusza potrzebę zapewnienia im właściwej opieki i dbałości o odpowiedni poziom jakości ich społecznego funkcjonowania. Niestety nie wszyscy z nich mogą korzystać z dobrej opieki rodzinnej. Dlatego też zadanie to musi przejąć państwo, którego obowiązkiem jest d…
“They're always in a hurry” : Older people's perceptions of access and recognition in health and social care services
2019
The article examines older people's perceptions of quality of life from the perspective of access and use of health and social care services.

The association between perceived environmental barriers and walking activity among older adults
2011

The participants were 75-81-year-old, able to walk independently outdoors, not highly physically active and were living in the center of Jyväskylä (N=632, 159 men, 473 women).

Enabling Settings for Learning : Observations Related to Design Communication
2020
The paper draws on two cases of learning settings that were converted to meet up-to-date educational requirements within these learning contexts. The authors address the role of stakeholder perspectives. Focusing on the learning situation, they present an articulation tool to aid dialogue between key stakeholder perspectives in a (re)design process. Dialogue is a way to figure out relevant issues and to establish the common ground between participants. The goal of a redesign process is that user requirements are well understood, and the design is embedded into local practices, informed of constraints and aware of potential opportunities regarding educational technology. peerReviewed
