The nutritional issue in older people with home-delivered meals: a scoping review protocol
2020
Setting up a home-delivered meal service often allows older people suffering from physical and/or cognitive disabilities to stay at home. However, older people who delegate their food activities (food purchasing, cooking…) have been reported to have a worse nutritional status than people who take care themselves of their food activities. In this context, we will conduct a scoping review of all studies related to the nutritional issue in home-delivered meal older recipients. This review was expected i. to shed light on the nutritional status of older people who benefit from home-delivery service to better understand their needs, and ii. to evaluate if home-delivered meal service can be a rel…
Comparaison des caractéristiques des organismes de transport en commun du Québec selon la ruralité : vers l'identification de nouvelles opportunités …
2020
Cette étude vise à décrire et à comparer, selon la ruralité, les caractéristiques du transport en commun régulier et adapté de municipalités québécoises. Une enquête transversale a été menée à l’aide d’un questionnaire en ligne auprès d’organismes de transport, de deux rapports d’activités et de données ouvertes. Réparti de façon représentative dans 573 (50,4 %) municipalités et arrondissements du Québec, un échantillon de 72 (43,9 %) organismes de transport a été considéré. Des inégalités ont été surtout identifiées pour le transport régulier. Les milieux métropolitains se distinguaient par des tarifs réduits, des distances inférieures entre les arrêts et un achalandage et une distance par…

Relationship between cognitive and driving self-assessments in older drivers. Result of epidemiological and experimental on-road studies in france
2015
TRANSED 2015 - 14th International Conference on Mobility and Transport for Elderly and Disabled Persons, LISBONNE, PORTUGAL, 28-/07/2015 - 31/07/2015; Most older drivers are able to efficiently self-regulate their own driving practices, that means reducing driving exposure and avoiding the most challenging driving conditions such as driving at night or in poor weather or at complex intersections. We hypothesized that this self-regulation might exist only if older drivers have accurate insight into their own age-related functional and cognitive decline. This study aims to evaluate how well self-estimation of cognitive ability of older corresponds to their actual driving performance, as asses…

Aging well in the community: Understanding the complexities of older people's dial-a-ride bus journeys
2021
Older peoples' independent living in their own homes and their ability to move around and maintain social relations in their communities have been acknowledged as important aims to support their well-being. In this article, we study Special Transport Services as a means to support older persons with ‘aging in place’ – that is, within their communities. From “go-alongs” (shared dial-a-ride bus journeys) and “sit-down interviews” (at participant's home or a café) with 12 older people living in a Finnish suburb, we explored their everyday dial-a-ride bus trips to the local mall. We used actor-network theory and the concept of motility to show how at first glance what appeared to be simple dial…

Poziom akceptacji wartości witalnych i estetycznych a stereotypowe myślenie o starszych pracownikach studentów kierunków Ekonomia i Zarządzanie

A growing number of old employees should be employed in future organisations, particularly in highly developed countries, and because of at least two reasons. First, the populations of many countries are aging. Second, the time of remaining active on the labour market is prolonging. The barriers for older workers on this market include age stereotypes regarding such workers. Therefore, it is important to know individual characteristics that are associated with stereotyped thinking about older workers. This paper presents the results of the research related to the relations between such thinking and two personal values. The results of the statistical analysis indicate that persons with low a…
