▼ 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… Advisors/Committee Members: Koester, Ardis W. (advisor), Brandt, Jeanette (committee member).

▼ 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.

▼ 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.

▼ 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. Advisors/Committee Members: Phelps, David W. (advisor), Anderson, Gordon (committee member).

▼ 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. Advisors/Committee Members: Yearick, Elisabeth S. (advisor).

▼ Aged care is one of the more controversial and problematic areas of healthcare in 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.

▼ After multiple reviews of the literature, which documented that multiple cognitive processes may be involved in mathematics ability and disability, Geary (1993) proposed a model that included three subtypes of math disability: Semantic, Procedural, and Visuospatial. A review of the extant literature produced three studies that examined Geary's three subtypes, which provided some support for Geary's model. Given the paucity of research examining Geary's subtypes of math disability, this study aimed to add to the literature by exploring the presence of these three subtypes in a sample of school-aged children. The sample consisted of 60 participants (30 males, 30 females) ranging in age from 7 to 13. Participants were taken from the standardization sample of the NEPSY-II. Individuals with data on the NEPSY-II (Korkman, Kirk, & Kemp, 2007) and the Math Calculation and Math Reasoning subtests of the Wechsler Individual Achievement Test Second Edition (WIAT-II; Wechsler, 2001) were included in the primary analysis. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) results showed that the model consisting of select NEPSY-II subtests used to create Geary's three domains was a good fitting model. After creating domain scores for each participant, regression analyses were conducted in order to determine if Geary's three subtypes accounted for a significant amount of variance in math reasoning and math calculation performance. Results showed that the Semantic subtype did not contribute a significant amount of variance to numerical operations performance when examined in isolation. Hierarchical regression analysis, which consisted of entering the Semantic domain first and then adding the Procedural and Visouspatial domains simultaneously, showed that the model did not account for any variance in numerical operations performance. When all three domains were entered simultaneously, the Visuospatial domain was the only domain to account for a significant amount of variance in numerical operations performance. In terms of math reasoning, the Semantic domain was the only one to account for a significant amount of variance. The results of the current study are discussed within the context of Geary's theory and previous research related to Geary's theory. Finally, limitations, directions for future research, and implications are considered. Advisors/Committee Members: Ara Schmitt, Gibbs Kanyongo, Elizabeth McCallum.

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.

▼ 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… Advisors/Committee Members: Jordan, Cheryl L.

▼ 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.

▼ The world’s population is ageing rapidly, so how to provide quality health and aged care to an increasing elderly population has become a critical issue facing many countries. In Australia, one in four persons is born overseas. With a significant number of older people from diverse ethnic backgrounds, it is even more challenging to provide quality care that can meet their specific cultural needs. Evidence suggests that older people from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds are more likely to be socially and financially disadvantaged and to under-use aged care services. However, there is a lack of detailed information on individual ethnic groups in relation to their specific care needs and service utilisation. This thesis sought to examine the characteristics of older Chinese-speaking immigrants, particularly those who migrated at an older age, and explore the experiences of aged care service use by this population in Melbourne, Australia. The Andersen Behavioural Model was the analytic framework utilised to understand factors associated with aged care use by this population, focusing on the concepts of predisposing, enabling, and need factors. This model was applied using an intersectionality perspective, highlighting how the interaction of various differences among older Chinese-speaking immigrants created unique experiences of ageing and aged care use. An interviewer-administered survey was conducted with 120 older Chinese-speaking immigrants between December 2009 and January 2011. Participants were recruited from four metropolitan areas in Melbourne using a quota sampling method to ensure representativeness. The study found that older Chinese-speaking participants used significantly more social support services and significantly less allied health and home care support services, compared with older Australians. The use of aged care services was best explained by predisposing and enabling factors, rather than need factors. Filial piety (a predisposing factor) and the availability of family carers (an enabling factor) were found to have negative effects on use of aged care services, while other enabling factors such as social support, adaptation of Australian culture, retention of Chinese culture, and awareness of existing services were found to be positively associated with aged care use. Having a lower score on activities of daily living (a need factor) was also found to increase the likelihood of using aged care services. The findings suggest that older Chinese-speaking Australians who are relatively recently arrived immigrants have a greater need for social support services. To improve the uptake of aged care services, policy makers and service providers need to better understand the effects of filial piety and family resources on aged care use, as well to encourage them to strengthen links with both local Chinese communities and the wider Australian society. This study contributes to a greater understanding of the influence of culture and recency of immigration on aged care use…

▼ 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 statistics were used to assess the indicators of the quality use of warfarin and the safety implications of the warfarinmanagement strategy for high-level care residents receiving warfarin throughout the study, as well as its acceptance and usability. Additionally, thematic analysis of interviews with participant GPs and RNs responsible for warfarin management was used to evaluate the strategy. Potential and actual warfarin-related adverse events were also recorded from the participant…
