▼ The primary purpose of the study was to examine
how furniture arrangements in the lounges of institutions
for the elderly affect the social interaction
among the residents. Based on the furniture arrangements
that encourage social interaction, recommendations were
made for the placement of furniture in the lounges of
institutions for the elderly.
The social interaction of the residents was recorded
using three measurement tools developed by the researcher:
(1) the Floorplan, (2) the Social Interaction
Checklist, and (3) the Furniture Arrangement Checklist.
A list of sixty-two housing institutions within a
fifty mile radius of Corvallis, Oregon, was obtained
from the State of Oregon, Center for Human Resources,
Department of Senior Services. Five homes were selected
for observation based on a list of five criteria.
Social interactions were recorded by placing the
seat numbers obtained from the Floorplan on the Social
Interaction Checklist in the appropriate category.
Later, these interactions were transferred and further
classified on the Furniture Arrangement Checklist.
The researcher was responsible for all observation
and recording. Each lounge was observed on two randomly
assigned weekdays from 9:00 A.M. until 7:00 P.M.
for a total of twenty hours per lounge.
Analysis of variance and t-tests were used to
test for significant differences in the number of
interactions occurring among individuals seated in the
four furniture arrangements. A t-test was also used
to test for significant differences between interactions
occurring within eight feet and those occurring over
eight feet.
The analysis of variance indicated no significant
difference among total interactions occurring in face-to-
face, 90 degree, and side-by-side arrangements.
However, results of a t-test indicated total interactions
per seat were significantly greater in face-to-face,
90 degree, and side-by-side arrangements when
compared to back-to-back arrangements.
The analysis of variance indicated no significant
difference among sustained interactions occurring in
face-to-face, 90 degree, and side-by-side arrangements.
However, results of a t-test indicated sustained
interactions per seat were significantly greater in
face-to-face, 90 degree, and side-by-side arrangements
when compared to back-to-back arrangements.
Results of t-tests showed significantly greater
total and sustained interactions occurring in eight
feet or less when compared to those interactions
occurring over eight feet. These findings suggest
smaller groupings of furniture encourage social
interaction more often than furniture positioned
outside eight feet.
Descriptive data pertaining to the selection of
homes for observation and the characteristics of the
lounges were presented for each institution.
Findings based on information obtained during
discussions with administrators and events occurring
during observation sessions were recorded but not
statistically tested. These findings were divided
into the following eight…

Prospects of adopting alternative staffing methods in residential aged care in Australia.

▼ The Residential Aged Care (RAC) industry is the fastest growing sector of the health care industry in Australia, particularly with the needs of people aging eighty five years and over consuming most health care services (Productivity Commission, 2006). This thesis examines the staffing efficiency challenge that is facing the RAC industry in Australia, from the facility managers' perspectives. Staffing efficiency is a crucial component in the success of this industry that is labour intensive, delivering complex services twenty-four hours per day and seven days per week. By achieving staffing efficiencies, facility managers would minimise labour cost expenditures; thus, ensuring sustainability and growth of their organisation in the long run. The literature reviewed revealed limited number of scholarly reviews about staffing efficiencies conducted in Australia. Nevertheless, it highlighted a number of available staffing approaches available overseas which could be of promising results if they were adopted to suit the Australian industry and its operational systems. This thesis explores the prospects of RAC facility managers adopting 'alternative' or 'new' staffing methods in their facilities as one solution for this staffing challenge. In this study, the researcher refers to alternative or new staffing methods as staffing methods that are not currently utilised in the staffing of RAC facilities in Australia. Using an Interpretivist research paradigm, 18 semi-structured interviews were conducted with the participating RAC managers in their work environment. During the interviews, a sample alternative staffing tool, developed prior to the study, was displayed. The data generated were analysed in the context of the RAC industry's environment, operational challenges, and through the theoretical implication of neo-liberalism. This theory provided a vehicle for the analysis of the data generated on staffing within the context of Australia's current economic policies. The generated data revealed little chance of such adoption reflected in a number of findings including: 1) Participants' lack of interest in adopting alternative staffing methods despite their comments on the unsuitability of current tools. 2) Overdependence of the industry on cost cutting measures and monetary performance indicators. 3) Lack of incentives for the adoption of change and 4) Lack of preparedness of RAC facility managers for such change. Thorough analysis of the findings revealed misinterpretation of free-market principles in the currently utilised staffing tools, which links demand of service to the number of individuals requiring care on one hand, and the supply of services available to the number of staff rostered to provide the care, on the other hand. The application of such a principle on the RAC industry is questionable, particularly with the inconsistency in the elderly residents' care needs and the staffing skill mix. A new staffing approach that uses the care required by the elderly…

▼ Dizziness is a common health concern for older adults affecting up to 30% of people
aged 65 years and over. Dizziness can be debilitating and significantly diminish quality of life and lead to depression, falls and functional disability. With population ageing, the burden of dizziness on health care systems will increase significantly. It is important, therefore, to better understand factors that predispose older people to this condition.The aims of this thesis were to identify key medical, physical and psychological factors associated with dizziness in two complementary cohorts: (1) 339 community-dwellers
aged 75 years and older recruited through the electoral roll; (2) 313 people
aged 50 years and older who experienced at least one significant dizziness episode in the past year. Participants completed questionnaires related to dizziness episodes, demographics, health and psychological well being. They also underwent assessments of sensorimotor function, vestibular function, dynamic balance, gait and cardiovascular health. Relationships between dizziness and these factors were then explored in both samples.In the general sample, the prevalence of dizziness was 23%. Within this group, participants who reported dizziness in the past year were more likely to also report back pain, motion sickness and fear of falling, than those who did not report any dizziness. Amongst the dizziness sufferers (cohort 2), a multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that higher physiological fall risk, unilateral vestibular hypofunction and increased anxiety were significantly and independently associated with increased dizziness frequency. 28% of dizziness sufferers reported moderate to severe handicap. Cardiovascular medication use, increased anxiety, a positive test of Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo, and higher physiological fall risk were identified as significant and independent predictors of higher dizziness handicap in multivariate logistic regression analysis. These findings indicate that dizziness is prevalent in older people, with many people with this condition experiencing significant handicap. Dizziness handicap was associated with both physical and psychological impairments. While it is difficult to establish causal relationships among all the associated factors, the significant associations uncovered provide insight into how dizziness affects older people, and information for possible strategies for treating this condition.

▼ This is a study of 30 community aged care managers from three employer sectors local government, health service, and non-government organisation, conducted in Victoria, Australia.
It aims to firstly explore their demographic profile, education, employment, professional development, and networking opportunities, and secondly, to identify their key management responsibilities and experience of implementing community aged care. Data was collected via a mail-out questionnaire and face-to-face interview.
Findings indicated that their responsibilities were human resource and financial management, and strategic planning. Budget responsibility was substantial with the majority responsible for budgets ranging from 5 to 20 million. There were three pathways to management: coming up through the ranks, moving on from nursing, allied health or social work, and moving on from service coordination or program management.
Transition to management and learning to manage, were intertwined and were a significant rite of passage for each manager. Both informal and formal learning were seen to be complimentary, and necessary, and most managers had a management qualification. Learning needs reflected their three key responsibilities. Acquiring environmental knowledge, including information about government policies and funding, and the service system, was also important.
Seven case studies demonstrate how these managers used their role to actively create community aged care service system structure and capability.

▼ Alcohol and drug use to cope is a common phenomenon that is found in those who are of college age. Drinking and drug use to cope has negative short- and long-term outcomes including chronic disease and possibly death. Alcohol and drug use to cope may be more common when individuals are not able allocate other resources in order to cope with their strong uncomfortable feelings (specifically depression, anger, and anxiety) and stress. Women and people of color may be particularly vulnerable to these patterns of maladaptive coping. I hypothesize that increased negative affect, stress, and avoidant coping will be associated with more alcohol and drug use. I also predict that there will be increased alcohol and drug use behavior for women and people of color in the context of negative affect, stress, and avoidant coping. The AUDIT, Brief COPE, DASS, PROMIS Anger, PSS, Race-Related Stress Item, and AAQ-II were used in data collected cross-sectionally from 360 participants. Pearson’s correlations and multiple regressions were used to analyze the data. Men and women did not differ in their alcohol and drug use, though people of color did consume less alcohol then their white counterparts. Alcohol and drug use was highly correlated with negative affect and general stress. It also was found that men displayed more substance use behavior when faced with race-stress/perceived discrimination. Predicted relationships between race-related stress and alcohol and drug use and between avoidant coping and alcohol and drug use were not supported. In addition, none of the other hypothesized interactions were statistically significant predictors of alcohol and drug use. Implications for supporting college aged individuals are discussed.

▼ Prior to attempting a descriptive study focused on the identification of Organic Brain Syndrome in an aging population in Senegal, West Africa, an indepth literature review was accomplished. The review included information about: Organic Brain Syndrome, memory and orientation, development of tools to test mental status and ethnographic investigation into an existing country of Senegal, West Africa. A questionnaire was designed to determine if: 1. Senegalese Africans exhibit symptoms OBS, 2. the course of the disease differs in Senegalese Africans compared to American aged, 3. a difference exists in health care provided by French physicians and Senegalese physicians residing in Senegal, West Africa, and 4. there is a need for a tool designed to measure mental status that will take into account cultural backgrounds of patients. African physicians residing in Dakar, the capital city of Senegal, were requested to answer questions which would lend information about African elderly and there health care needs. The physicians were unable to answer the questionnaires provided to them, interesting data evolved. African elderly do not utilize more modern methods of health care. Chronic health problems are not seen in the clinical setting. The existence or absence of OBS in African society remains a mystery.

▼ Because of nursing’s increased concern for sound knowledge as a basis for providing services to those confined to nursing homes, this study was undertaken as an exploratory investigation of the processes related to life satisfaction in nursing home patients. A subjective measurer of life satisfaction was used in order to determine the degree of psychological well-being. In light of the controversy regarding social activity as a criterion for evaluating successful aging, the variable social involvement and activity was studied in relation to life satisfaction of nursing home patients. Since all nursing home patients are not elderly, although they are all undergoing the aging process, the common variable, confinement, was of interest in regard to activity and life satisfaction. The hypothesis proposed a relationship between life satisfaction and social interest and involvement. Twenty-three nursing home residents were interviewed and administered the Neugarten (1961) Life Satisfaction Indices. A Social Behavioral Rating Scale (SBRS) designed for nursing home patients was completed by nursing home personnel on each subject. A correlational analysis did not yield a statistically significant relationship between life satisfaction and social behavior, interest and involvement, r = .01. Thus, the data failed to support the hypothesis. Of all the variables studied only three correlated significantly with life satisfaction. Length of time in the nursing home, r = .44, p < .05, and what the subject liked to do in the nursing home r = .49, p < .05 correlated positively with life satisfaction. The third variable was the SBRS item irritability. Subjects who demonstrated irritable behavior were found to be less satisfied with their lives. In summary, the data suggested that things that make a person satisfied with his life do not necessarily have to do with social activity and involvement. Although there was no correlation between age and life satisfaction, there was decreased activity and social interaction with age. Subjects with large families were more social involved. Similar scores on the Life Satisfaction Indices were found between the nursing home sample and scores previously established on a non-institutionalized sample. Further study of the variables of activity, life satisfaction, and confinement in nursing home patients was suggested.

▼ The results of previous research dealing with bereavement and /or depression in the elderly give conflicting and ambiguous reports. The purpose of this study was to attempt to clarify some of this confusion. Depression is a normal part of grieving. Many investigators suggest that depression is also a normal part of aging. This investigator described and compared the severity of depression between a sample of elderly person (N=62) who recently experience conjugal loss and a matched group a still-married older person (N=59). The two samples were utilized in order to describe the extent of depression as an outcome of grief, as well as the degree of which depression may exist among those elderly who have a spouse. Data were taken from a larger project on bereavement and adaptation in the elderly. Data from the bereaved sample were obtained three to four weeks post-conjugal loss. The Zung subscales were analyzed for highest levels of depression. Selected demographic variables were examined for their effect on bereavement and depression. While the bereaved shoed higher levels of depression, neither group manifested clinical levels of depression. Using a Tau C measure of association, a statistically significant relationship was found between bereavement and depression for nearly every variable and every subscale. These preliminary findings led to speculation regarding those elderly at higher risk when conjugal loss occurred. Implications for nursing were discussed.

▼ The purpose of this study in bereavement adaptation of the elderly was twofold. First, the pre-terminal interaction between spouses was classified into two categories, closure and non-closure, by means of an index developed from a review of the literature. This index quantified the type and extent of interaction between spouses when one spouse was dying. Second, the group of survivors who attained closure was compared to those who did not attain closure in certain aspects of bereavement adaptation at two months after the death of the spouse. The critical utilized were based on previously reported bereavement-related feelings and behaviors noted in other bereaved populations. The survivor's perception of stressfulness of their spouse's death and their perceived coping ability was also compared between the two groups. Closure had an affect on the intensity and frequency of feeling and behaviors. In achieving closure, survivors had a chance to exercise certain behaviors which, in turn, paralleled certain feelings. This initiated the mitigation process pre-terminally, which modified intense stimuli otherwise experienced during bereavement. This investigations result illustrated this. The repetitious review of the spouse's death, talking to and looking for the spouse became frustrating behavior that the survivor attempted to buffer by avoiding reminders of the spouse and keeping busy. These behaviors related to feeling of disbelief, confusion, being dazed and irritable due to the nature of the disorientation with which the survivor was trying to cope. The closure variable significantly contributed to the modification of these bewildering symptoms when their frequency or intensity was high. Nursing; implications of this study were addressed to the three areas of research, practice, and education.

▼ Physical aggression between spouses has not been widely researched by nursing and has been limited to case studies or discussions focusing on younger spouses. Nursing interventions have also been targeted towards this younger population. The purpose of this study was to investigate reported incidents of physical aggression between spouses 50 years or older who are now divorced. A beginning framework for nursing intervention was formulated for this population of individuals. Personal interviews were conducted with 111 participants in their homes or place of their choosing. The interviews were audiotape to aid in information gathering and analysis. Content analysis and statistical analysis of the interview responses were conducted. Of the 111 participants, 44 participants had been involved in at least one physical aggressive incident. The mean length of marriage of the participants was 29.7 years. Most participants were Caucasian and members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS or Mormon). Male spouses were the initiators of physically aggressive incidents 50% of the time. Female participants initiated physical aggression incidents in 25% of the instance. Both spouses were responsible for initiating physical aggression 25% of the time. Physical injuries resulting from physical aggression incidents were reported by approximately 50% of the participants. The most common types of physical aggression reported by participants were hitting and pushing. The frequency of physical aggressive incidents ranged form one time only to daily occurrences. The majority of participants utilized some type of resource to copy with physical aggression incidents. Physical or emotional withdrawal was reported by most participants as the primary coping mechanism. Individual therapy was reported by participants as the most common outside resource used. Implications for nursing practice are for nurses to ask the question of whether or not physical aggression has occurred and to become more aware of the signs of physical aggression between spouses. Through careful screening and assessments by nurses, more individuals can benefit by intervention. Nursing education should include teaching student nurses to perform skilled assessments to intervene appropriately with those older individuals who are or have been involved in physical aggressive relationships. Nursing research should be focused on large studies of older individuals who have involved in physical aggressive relationship to increase empirical knowledge of physical aggression between older spouses.

▼ The two major purposes of this study were to gather data relative
to the knowledge and attitudes toward sexual expression among sixty-five
to seventy-four year olds and to determine whether or not significant
differences existed between the sexes. The study focused on six
research questions: These were:
1. Do older females and males differ significantly in terms
of overall knowledge related to sexual expression?
2. Do older females and males differ significantly in terms
of specific knowledge categories related to sexual
expression?
3. Do older females and males differ significantly in terms
of overall attitudes related to sexual expression?
4. Do older females and males differ significantly in terms
of specific attitude categories related to sexual expression?
5. Are there significant differences between older females and
males in terms of overall knowledge when they are grouped
according to: marital status, education, religious attendance,
self perceived health status and occupation?
6. Are there significant differences between older females
and males in terms of overall attitudes when they are
grouped according to: marital status, education,
religious attendance, self perceived health status and
occupation?
The population selected for study was a voluntary organization of
older adults, who resided in Marion County, Oregon. Thirty-two members,
ages sixty-five to seventy-four who volunteered to participate in this
study comprised the sample.
A structured interview guide was utilized for data collection.
Validity of the instrument was established through input from professional
experts. Reliability was determined by comparing consistency
of responses between three groups: a pilot test group, one in-study
group matched to the pilot group and one in-study group selected at
random.
Both parametric and non-parametric statistical tools were used
to analyze the data. These included the t test for research question
one; Mann Whitney U for research questions two through four; the f
test for research question five; and Chi Square for research question
six. Although some minor differences were found to exist between
males and females in terms of knowledge and attitudes regarding sexual
expression, the differences were not found to be significant at the.05
level. Results of the study indicated the existence of misinformation,
conflicting attitudes, and the desire for sexuality information by
older adults. Because the sample in this study was found to be non-representative
of the general older population, results may not be generalizable.
Summaries of personal characteristics and self perception can be
located in Tables 7 and 8. Suggestions for future replications of
the study are made. Recommendations and implications for educators
and service providers who work with older adults are also included.

▼ Ninety people,
aged 60 and older, were interviewed regarding
their shopping habits, use of convenience foods, frequency of food
use and reasons for food preferences. The relation of income level
and education level to reasons for food use was also investigated.
The major source of purchased food was the chain supermarket.
Shopping was done primarily on a once a week basis. The food
groups purchased most frequently were fruits and vegetables, and
milk and milk products. The primary determinants of these shopping
patterns were food quality, economy, and convenience.
Convenience foods were widely used by the elderly study
subjects. They were valued for their ease of preparation. Income
level did not influence the choice of market place or the use of
convenience foods.
More than three fourths of the subjects used some form of
milk each day. Low fat milks were most popular. Ground beef and
chicken were the most frequently used meats. Beef steaks and
roasts and all forms of pork were also well liked. The fruits, in
general, were well liked and used on a regular basis. Green beans
were the most frequently used vegetable on a weekly basis; lettuce
the most frequently used vegetable on a daily basis. With one
exception, enriched breads were consumed daily by all subjects.
The dry, unsweetened cereals were the most frequently used form
of cereal. A preference was found for margarine and oil over
butter, shortening, cream, and lard. Coffee, tea, fruit and vegetable
juices were all consumed frequently. Soft drinks, artificially
sweetened drinks and alcoholic beverages were less acceptable to
the elderly.
Sensory reasons and the degree of preparation required by a
food item were the two most frequently given reasons for food
selection. Health considerations were also important to the older
people who were both weight conscious and concerned about heart
disease. Neither income level nor educational level had an influence
on the reasons given for food use.

▼ The effects of improved oral hygiene on the nutrition of 23
elderly institutionalized men and women were investigated. An experimental
group of 12 received professional oral hygiene treatments
three times weekly for a period of five weeks, while a control group
of 11 received only placebo work. Changes in taste perception, nutrient
intake, and selected blood parameters were measured.
Improved oral hygiene appeared to be responsible for increases
in taste acuity. There were significantly more experimental
than control subjects who showed improved ability to detect sweet,
sour, and salty tastes, and improved identification thresholds for
sweet and salty tastes.
The nutrient intake of many of the subjects fell below the
recommended dietary allowances for this age group, especially for
folate. No significant dietary improvement was directly attributable to improved oral hygiene. However, at the end of the five-week
period, both groups showed significant increases in their mean
dietary calories, protein, calcium, vitamin A, and riboflavin. In
addition, the diet of the experimental group increased significantly
in iron and thiamin. The dietary improvement appeared to be associated
with the psychological effect of frequent professional attention.
No significant improvements in blood parameters were shown
by either group as a result of the treatment. However, significantly
more experimental than control subjects showed an increase in
hemoglobin concentration, plasma protein, and plasma ascorbic
acid. Low plasma folate concentrations were found in all subjects
and there was no folate response to either treatment.

▼ Folic acid and ascorbic acid status have been assessed in
twenty non-institutionalized elderly subjects with respect to both
hematological and dietary aspects.
The hemoglobins, hematocrits, and serum ascorbic acid
concentrations were within the normal range. A few subjects had
total serum protein concentrations which were less than the acceptable
level. More than half of the subjects had serum folic acid
concentrations below the acceptable level. Mean dietary nutrient
intakes were comparable to the Recommended Dietary Allowances
with the exception of calories and folic acid.
In general, the diets of the men were higher in calories,
protein and iron while diets of the women were higher in ascorbic
and folic acids. The men tended to have higher hematocrits,
hemoglobin and serum folates while the women had higher serum concentrations of ascorbic acid. No significant effect due to vitamin
C supplementation was observed. Although there was no significant
correlation between the serum concentrations of ascorbic and folic
acids, examinations of group means suggested that these parameters
were inversely related.
Multiple regression analyses of hematological values and
dietary nutrient intakes revealed no significant effects.

Australia in the 21st century. Whilst most people today accept that residential care is an
essential service for those who can no longer cope on their own in the community, few
people want to end up in a nursing home, and few nurses aspire to work there. But was
this always the case?
This diachronic study integrates archival research and oral history interviews to explore
the history of aged care in one state of Australia, Tasmania. Tasmania began its white
history as Van Diemen’s Land, a penal settlement on a remote island intended to be the
‘gaol for the entire British Empire’. The high number of convicts transported to the
colony and the resulting large emancipist population, many of whom were both
impoverished and without family to help them as they aged, meant that the colonial
administration was forced to make official arrangements for their care from almost the
first days of the state’s existence. These arrangements bore some similarities to those in
other Australian states and in the mother country, but the peculiarities of life on the edge
of civilization brought their own unique solutions in that century, and the next.
This thesis follows the development of Tasmanian aged care from the early colonial
charitable institutions, to the early 20th century period of ‘making do’, to the ennursement
of aged care in the middle of that century, and finally to developments in the 1980s that
led to today’s highly regulated and businesslike aged care sector. It illuminates the
changes and continuities in conditions and practices within homes for the aged, and the
shifting attitudes of Tasmanian society towards the elderly and those that cared for them.
Official records paint an almost uniformly positive picture of aged care. In contrast,
public opinion is almost equally negative. This study provides a more balanced story, in
the hope that an understanding of the successes and failures of the past will provide some
guidance for the future to assist our aging population in the 21st century.

▼ M.A.
The mid-life transition is the focus of this research. It is an in-depth qualitative study based on a small sample of women between forty to sixty years of age. The research also examines the significance of the story medium as a means of generating psychological data concerning the experience of the mid-life transition. This data was analysed using grounded theory methodology. The results suggest that there is a merging of the cognitive and affective functions during the mid-life transition causing disequilibrium and the shifting of elements within the psychic structure. The data further suggest that mid-life is a meaning generating process at two levels. There is a clarification of goals, values and life direction. At a deeper level there is a search for an inner purposiveness or soul centredness. Themes centred around questions of identity and relationship. Identity issues surfaced with regard to appearance, roles, future and the death/rebirth motif Relationship issues concerned relationship to marriage, motherhood, work and money. Ultimately, at mid-life, there is an inner search for soul purposiveness.

▼ Objective: Fatigue is a common condition contributing to disability among older patients. We studied self-reported task-specific fatigue and its relation with mobility task performance among community-dwelling primary care patients.
Method: Cross-sectional analysis of baseline demographic and health data from a prospective cohort study of 430 primary care patients aged 65 years or older. Fatigue was measured using the Avlund Mobility–Tiredness Scale. Performance tasks included rising from a chair, walking 4 m, and climbing two flights of stairs.
Results: Among demographic and health factors, pain was the only attribute consistently predictive of fatigue status. Self-reported chair rise fatigue and walking fatigue were associated with specific task performance. Stair climb fatigue was not associated with stair climb time.
Discussion: Pain is strongly associated with fatigue while rising from a chair, walking indoors, and climbing stairs. This study supports the validity of self-reported chair rise fatigue and walking fatigue as individual test items.

▼ Aim: This thesis
reports on the study on the implementation of a
warfarin-management strategy into residential aged care
facilities (RACFs) providing high-level care. The
research question investigated in the study was “does the
development and implementation of a new
warfarin-management strategy into RACFs enhance the
outcome for high-level care residents and is it usable
and acceptable to those responsible for warfarin
management?” The evaluation of the acceptability,
usability and safety implications of the strategy, which
involved the introduction of a warfarin-specific
medication chart in concert with education sessions, is
also described. Background: The study
originated from the findings of previous research into
the barriers to quality use of warfarin in RACFs from the
perspectives of General Practitioners (GPs) and
Registered Nurses (RNs) working in this setting which
identified communication, monitoring, documentation and
decision-support inadequacies in the systems employed.
There is highlevel evidence for the efficacy of the
anticoagulant warfarin in reducing the risk of
thromboembolism; yet there is a paucity of evidence for
its benefits in older, frail people with comorbidities
and complex medication regimes for whom the risks of
haemorrhage are higher than populations in the landmark
studies. Hence the necessity for safe medication
practices around warfarin in this setting. The safety of
warfarin is paramount in the context of the changing
environment of residential aged care and as a continuing
option in the expanding pharmacological options for
anticoagulation. The literature
confirmed that quality use of all medications and
particularly warfarin is difficult to achieve in
residential aged care. From the recommendations of the
previous research, a standardised warfarin-specific
medication chart was inductively developed by all
healthcare disciplines with roles in medication
management, and it is introduction of this as part of an
overall management strategy and its evaluation, that was
the focus of the study. Methods: A
mixed-methods approach was employed in the study,
utilising a pre-test/posttest with intervention design.
The multi-intervention design comprised of
warfarineducation sessions for RACF staff, an explanation
of the proposed warfarin-management strategy to
prescribing GPs, dispensing pharmacists and RACF staff,
the development and introduction of the warfarin-specific
medication chart and ongoing participation in the
implementation of the strategy as required. Descriptive

▼ In South Africa an increasing elderly population is necessitating the need for alternative forms of
retirement. The current facilities that have existed for the past 50 years cater exclusively to the
economic affluent of society. These facilities, outdated in there architectural design; ignore the vital
concept of social integration and falls short of offering the elderly a meaningful sense of purpose for the
remaining years of their lives.
The two fold problem addressed in this research is the isolation and voluntary segregation of the
aged.
It is hypothesized that integrating the elderly with a mixture of generations will prompt reciprocal care,
economic activities and knowledge transfer amongst each other, ultimately creating social sustainability
within a community. Therefore the aim of this research is to create a sustainable community within a
sustainable district.
The research method of this study is a mixed method which allows for a holistic understanding of the
elderly and their needs. International precedent studies and local case studies were analysed and
augmented with first-hand accounts in the form of interviews, questionnaires and observations. Since
this dissertation is towards an architectural intervention, a multigenerational development geared
towards the needs of the elderly is proposed as the building typology.

▼ The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of long-term weighted vest
exercise on hip bone mass, functional ability and static balance in elderly women. This was
a within
subject exercise intervention study and included a 6-month control period.
Twenty-three subjects (age 85 ± 6) were recruited and observed for 6-months, then debar a
9-month exercise program. Due to attrition during the control period, five subjects were
recruited to add to the exercise group. Training entailed three supervised exercise sessions
per week for nine-months designed to overload the lower extremity neuromuscular system.
Training stimulus was one of two sets of six to twelve repetitions using weighted vests for
progressive resistance. Measurements for bone mineral density (BMD) were assessed
using dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (Hologic QDR-1000/W). Static balance
measurements were made using the Biodex Stability System. Functional ability tests
consisted of: leg strength and power (chair raises and sit to stand) and gait speed (tandem,
wide and narrow gait and circular path) and was assessed monthly for six months.
Comparisons were conducted using repeated measures analysis of variance. Significant
improvements were observed for chair raises 13%, sit to stand 13%, tandem gait 30%,
wide gait 22%, narrow gait 20% and circular path 20% following the exercise period. No
significant changes were detected (p>0.05) for BMD at the femoral neck and trochanter,
but BMD was maintained during the exercise period. Further, there was a trend for
improved body composition in the exercise versus the control period. Static balance did not
change following the observational or exercise period. In conclusion, a practical exercise
program of lower extremity training using weighted vests for resistance improves
functional ability in women over 75 years of age. Since improved may function transfer to
improved postural stability, these results have important implications for design of exercise
programs to reduce fall risk in the elderly.

▼ The purpose of the present study was to test the selfconcept
and store image congruency theory with an elderly
population. The self-concept and store image congruency
theory predicts that individuals patronize stores that they
perceive as having an image similar to their own self-concept
(Martineau, 1958). The present study specifically
investigated the congruency between self-concept and the
store image components of merchandise assortment (sizes and
styles offered), fashion image and sales service (degree of
courtesy, efficiency and knowledge of clothing). The present
study examined whether congruency between self-concept and
store image was related to the respondents' store patronage
behavior.
A sample of 70 individuals was obtained from the Salem
Senior Center, an activity center for individuals older than
55 years of age. The Salem Senior Center is located in
Salem, Oregon. Respondents completed a self-administered
questionnaire.
The statistical procedures used to analyze the data
included descriptive statistics, Pearson-Product Moment
correlations, and one-way analyses of variance (ANOVAs).
As hypothesized, a positive relationship did exist between
the sample's perceived clothing needs regarding clothing fit
and the merchandise assortment regarding styles and size
range offered at the patronized store. The respondents
indicated that they patronized stores which had styles and
size ranges which accommodate their perceived clothing needs.
The respondents also indicated that they patronized stores
that had salespeople with similar degrees of courtesy,
efficiency and knowledge of clothing as the respondent.
Contrary to prediction, no relationship existed between
the respondent's fashion image of self and the fashion image
of the store he/she patronized. The elderly in the present
sample did not patronize stores which had a fashion image
similar to the fashion image the respondent had of
himself/herself. This finding may be related to the fact
that the respondents held a low fashion image of themselves.
They were not very interested in keeping up with the current
fashions.
Self-concept and store image variables were investigated
by the demographic variables of age and income. The present
sample of elderly were found to be homogeneous. No
significant differences were found in their self-concept or
store image by age or income.
Additional analyses tested for significant differences in
self-concept and store image variables by store type
patronized. Again, the sample was found to be homogeneous.
Regardless of store type patronized for apparel (department
store, specialty store or discount store), all respondents
had similar self-concepts and store images.
The results of the present study partially support the
findings of previous researchers (Dornoff & Tatham, 1972;
Grubb & Grathwohl, 1967; Mason & Mayer, 1970; Stern, Bush &
Hair, 1977). These previously cited researchers have all
found evidence that consumers patronize stores that have
images similar to their own…

▼ The primary focus of this investigation was to assess whether
or not selected ecological indices and leisure preferences demonstrated
statistically significant relationships with the
aged's self-concept.
Gerontology, a relatively embryonic discipline, has only
recently begun to examine the impact of demographic, physical and
socio-psychological stresses upon the geron's self-concept. Even less
attention has been given to exploring the potential of the elderly's
leisure patterns towards the reduction, maintenance or enhancement
of self-concept. It was this sparsity of; evidence that served as the
impetus for this present investigation.
Subjects for this study involved both men and women who were
members of Little House, a senior citizen activity center located in Menlo Park, California. Among the members randomly selected, a
total of 112 senior citizens completed all test instruments. A profile
of the sample clearly suggests that the homogeneity of the sample
neutralizes certain extraneous variables, while, at the same time,
reducing any possible generalizations from the findings.
The data were collected through the administration of two test
instruments: the Ecological Indices Leisure Participation questionnaire
(EILP), specifically developed for this study and the Tennessee
Self Concept Scale (TSCS). Through the use of the EILP, a composite
of several instruments, data were gathered on ecological indices
currently considered as possible influences upon levels of selfconcept.
The administration of the TSCS – a 100 item, self-descriptive
instrument – served to establish a profile of the selected dimensions
of self-concept. For purposes of this study, the dimensions of
self-concept were limited to the instrument's major external references
of Physical Self, Moral-Ethical Self, Personal Self, Family
Self, Social Self, Total Self and Self Criticism.
Using multiple regression analysis and t-tests as the primary
statistical models, it was possible to establish a regression model
for each of the seven dimensions of self-concept. In addition, statistical
comparisons were made among members displaying contrasting
leisure patterns. A total of 11 factors, measured by the EILP, were statistically
significant (.05) in explaining increased or decreased mean scores on
the seven TSCS scales. Perceived health, income, confinement to
bed, frequency of visits with neighbors and relatives and the member's
activity level at Little House each appeared in two or more of
the final regression models. Other significant variables, appearing
less frequently, were: age, marital status, employment status of the
respondent's spouse and involvement in community activities.
Upon examining the contrasting leisure patterns of subjects,
only one factor exceeded the .05 confidence level. Specifically, new
members of one year or less demonstrated significantly higher mean
scores on Personal Self than their long-term counterparts of six years
or more. Although the remaining comparisonsintensity of participation,

▼ This study aims to investigate the association between alcohol use disorder and cognition in Korean community-dwelling elderly, especially the gender-specific difference. Data obtained from 1,141 subjects (976 men and 165 women) aged above 60 years was analyzed from the Gwangju Dementia and Mild Cognitive Impairment Study (GDEMCIS). All subjects completed the study questionnaire including demographic characteristics, history of current and past illnesses, drug history, Korean-Mini mental state examination (K-MMSE), and CAGE (cut down, annoyed, guilty feelings, eye-opener), SGDS-K(Short form of Geriatric Depression Scale-Korean version). Of the 1,141 subjects(mean age 72.17±6.20, mean educational level 6.50±4.48), 267 demonstrated alcohol use disorder (23.40%) and 874 were non-alcohol use disorder(76.60%). The mean of K-MMSE for alcohol use disorder group was 23.23±4.99, and for non-alcohol use disorder group was 23.70±3.94. When alcohol use disorder is accompanying, the decrement of K-MMSE score was 3.07 for female, and 0.35 for male. And we confirmed the interactive effect on K-MMSE score between sex and AUD after adjusting for age, education level, depression. (F=5.798, p=0.016) In conclusion, our study demonstrates an association between alcohol use disorder and cognitive impairment by gender in the elderly.
본 연구는 한국의 지역사회 거주 노인에서 알코올사용장애와 인지기능의 관계, 특히 성별에 따른 차이점을 조사하기 위한 목적으로 시행되었다. 광주 치매 및 경도인지장애 연구 (GDEMCIS, Gwangju Dementia and Mild Cognitive Impairment Study)를 통해서 60세 이상의 1,141명의 노인(남성 976명, 여성 165명)의 자료를 얻고 분석하였다. 대상자들에게 인구학적 특징, 과거 및 현재 병력, 약물 사용, K-MMSE , CAGE(cut down, annoyed, guilty feelings, eyeopener), SGDS-K(Short form of Geriatric Depression Scale-Korean version)에 대한 설문을 시행하였다. 총 1,141명의 대상자에서 평균 연령 72.17±6.20세, 평균교육수준은 6.50±4.48년이었으며 CAGE에서 2가지 이상의 항목에서 그렇다고 답하여 알코올사용장애군으로 분류된 대상자는 267명으로 23.40%를 차지하였고 비알코올사용장애군으로 분류된 대상자는 874명으로 76.60%를 차지하였다. 남성의 경우 알코올사용장애가 동반된 경우의 K-MMSE는 23.79점으로 동반되지 않은 경우인 24.14점과 비교하여 0.35점 낮았으며 여성의 경우 알코올사용장애가 동반된 경우의 K-MMSE는 18.30점으로 동반되지 않은 경우인 21.37점과 비교하여 3.07점 낮았다. 알코올사용장애와 성별의 교호작용이 K-MMSE에 나타내는 변화를 알아보기 위해서 연령, 교육수준, 우울증을 보정하여 단일변량분석을 시행한 결과 K-MMSE 점수에 있어서 알코올사용장애와 성별의 교호작용이 통계적으로 유의하게 있는 것으로 확인되었다. (F=5.798, p=0.016) 결론적으로 본 연구에서 노인인구에서 알코올사용장애가 있는 경우 그렇지 않은 대상자와 비교하여 인지능력이 더 떨어지며, 여성의 경우 남성과 비교하여 그 정도가 크다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

▼ Evidence in New Zealand suggests that spatial access to
aged residential care facilities (ARCFs) has been declining. Poor spatial access to facilities has been shown internationally to lead to reduced frequency of visitation by family and friends, and in turn poorer mental health and wellbeing of people in care. However, the New Zealand population is ageing and older people are increasing as a proportion of the total population. Subsequently, total demand for ARCFs is set to increase dramatically and a substantial number of facilities will likely need to be built by 2026. The intent of this thesis is to explore how geographic information science (GIS) methods can be used to identify potential locations for these ARCFs in New Zealand so that travel time for friends and family is minimised.
Providers were surveyed on the relative importance of a series of spatial attributes when deciding where to place new facilities. Maps for each spatial attribute were generated from their preferences and overlaid using weighted linear combination and areas exceeding a suitability threshold were identified as potential locations. To choose optimal locations, maximal covering location-allocation models were used based on projected populations and demand for 2026. The spatial accessibility of these locations was then compared to the spatial accessibility of facilities in 2011. The results suggest that GIS methods have the potential to improve the spatial access to ARCFs to friends and family of people in care.

▼ Disruptive sleeping behaviours are a key symptom of dementia that accelerates transition from the home towards full time institutional care. For thousands of families in New Zealand, respite facilities offer a temporary relief from this symptom in an attempt to prolong care at home. However the predominant use of pharmaceutical therapy coupled with unstimulating care environments leads to sleeping behaviours deteriorating upon returning home.
In order to provide an alternative approach to pharmaceutical therapy and research towards treating disruptive sleep behaviour, this thesis addresses pre-existing inter-disciplinary literature, field trips, international precedents and an iterative method of design to investigate: How can the architecture of a respite facility improve sleeping behaviours and instigate meaningful environmental research within dementia care?
Environmental strategies involving light, movement and community were identified as key objectives towards improving sleep behaviour within the design. Introducing a shared courtyard with the public that facilitated continuous movement alongside the circadian rhythms of the sun, allowed a design that would engage with all three objectives in order to improve sleep behaviour of residents with mild symptoms of dementia. As symptoms progress, the adoption of an artificial lighting environment in a purpose built sleep lab allowed a space for scientific enquiry to the nature and treatment of sleep for those with later stages of dementia. The final design integrates both natural and artificial environments into a single respite facility, strengthening its therapeutic potential to prolong home care for the thousands of families affected by dementia in New Zealand.

▼ Alcohol consumption in Australia is culturally privileged (that is, embedded within the dominant culture) and normalised. However, a growing evidence base shows that the risk threshold for alcohol is much lower than that previously described. There exists, then, the possibility that the drinking of those previously characterised as “low risk” may be a valid target for intervention in terms of reducing alcohol consumption, as large numbers of low-risk drinkers contribute significantly to alcohol-related health problems. Low-risk drinkers are a population of interest when developing interventions to reduce alcohol-related health burdens. This thesis examines the social and ethical issues associated with public health interventions to reduce alcohol consumption in this population using a mixed methods approach. The thesis begins with a focus on establishing what is already known about how non-problematised middle-
aged drinkers construct their alcohol consumption, further develops how these drinkers construct their drinking in a South Australian context, and finally presents an ethical analysis of intervention considerations, based on a relational autonomy framework. Together, the studies that comprise this thesis contribute to our knowledge of how non-problematised middle-
aged drinkers construct their alcohol consumption, critique ethical approaches to current alcohol policy and suggest an alternative ethical framework for whole-of-population interventions. This thesis contributes new evidence about alcohol consumption in a previously under-researched population group, which in turn provides important information to inform interventions targeting this group specifically.
