Background: The present study was undertaken to access the current availability and utilization of health care services by geriatric population and to find the need for specialized geriatric care hubs.Methods: This is questionnaire-based survey conducted among 300 subjects of geriatric population for a period of 3 months in Bengaluru hospital set-up.Results: Majority of study subjects were belonged to age group of 60-75 years. 81% were married; while 1.30% un-married, 2.30% divorced, 15.30% were widow. Majority of study subjects in our study, i.e., 30.30% were graduates followed by 28.70% and 15.70% were completed secondary and primary school level education respectively. While only 7.70% subjects were post graduates. However, 17.70% subjects were found to be illiterate in our study. We found 52% of study subjects were dependent for their financial requirements. Chi-square test showed significant association between health and medical care facilities with age (c2-31.24; p-0.002). 98% preferred to have separate specialized geriatric care hospitals in their respective area of residence with no significant association (c2=5.20; p-0.51). We found significant association between source of information and awareness of geriatric care facilities (c2=18.96; p-0.026). We found that 36% of subjects reckoned that application of information technology was helpful in geriatric care. Whereas, still majority of study subjects, i.e., 61% were not at all aware of information technology applications in geriatric (c2-12.62; p-0.049). Conclusions: Provision of quality assured by elderly health-care hub for the elderly population is a must and is a challenge that requires joint approach and strategies. Failure to address the health needs today could develop into a costly problem tomorrow.

Intermediate Care Facilities

Background: Japan is getting older and older. More than 26% of the population is 65 years or over. Therefore, the needs and quality of geriatric nursing should be improved. At the same time, the standards and requirements in geriatric intermediate care facilities (GIFs) are also changing. However, the quality of geriatric care in Japan is not in a satisfied level. In order to improve the quality of geriatric nursing, reconsidering professionalism in nurses is crucial. Moreover, it is important to address appropriate working environment of nurses to develop, maintain and enhance their professionalism. Objectives: The aim of this study was to obtain insights to the professionalism of nurses in geriatric intermediate care facilities from the perspectives and experiences of geriatric care. Methodology: A qualitative exploratory descriptive research design was used in this study. The study participants were three clinical nurse specialists of geriatric nursing and five nurse managers from geriatric care facilities. A purposive sampling was used. Results: Five descriptive themes related to the professionalism of nurses in geriatric care facilities were identified: autonomy, comprehensive care, patient advocacy, educational activities, and work with other specialists. Conclusions: Professionalism identified in this study is similar to that of clinical nurses that was reported previous studies. However, some sub-categories indicate the characteristics of geriatric care facilities, such as decision making when a physician is absent, which is included in autonomy, and the life model, which is included comprehensive care.
