The Web

The number of elderly people in Korea is rapidly increasing to advance an aging society. Dementia causes many problems in the aging society but older people usually do not receive effective dementia prevention services because of their low economic power. For the elderly who are experiencing low dental clinic visits due to lack of economic power and education, various services have been developed through the web to help prevent oral healthcare and dementia of the elderly, and a web system has been developed to help oral healthcare and dementia of the elderly. This web system was developed based on the research result that if activating cognitive-behavioral function by strengthening chewing function and oral muscle function exercise of elderly people can prevent dementia or slow dementia progression and it is composed of content utilization module and oral healthcare diagnosis module. PHP 7.1.6, CSS, Notepad++, Bootstrap, Filezilla, and others were used to develop the web system. XAMPP 3.2.2, PHP 7.1.6, Apache2.4.25, and Mysqlnd 5.0.12 were used to build the server for the content service. In the long run, this development will reduce the social costs that government offices use to prevent dementia and to treat and maintain oral healthcare

To know the influence of health education inprevention of dementia. The Research design of this study is praexsperiments approach with pre post test. The amountof population in this reaseach is 21 elderly in posyanduelderly. From 21 elderly people was taken 16 sampleand the Technique of collectin data was used simplerandom sampling. The result of this research showed that there isincrease in dementia prevention behavior before andafter health education was given. Results of statisticaltests Pairs t-test with a p-value of 0.05 means 0.000 <H1 accepted means there is influence between beforeand after health education is given to the prevention ofdementia on the elderly behavior. The next researchers expected results of thisresearch can serve as preliminary studies to developother research especially on the influence of healtheducation on behaviors of elderly in the prevention ofdementia, in addition, this is should be supported bypuskesmascuold be joined giving healt education aseffort in prevention on elderly, further research needsto be done by expanding the other variables that canaffect the behavior of the elderly in order to get betteragain.

The Relationship

This study investigated the relationship between the intake of antioxidant nutrients and the suffering of cataracts in 177 institutionalized elderly people (61 men and 116 women) aged ≥ 65 years. Dietary intake was monitored for 7 consecutive days using a "precise individual weighing" method. Subjects, who during their earlier years were exposed by their work to sunlight, had a greater risk of suffering cataracts (OR = 3.2; Cl: 1.1–9.3, P < 0.05) than those who worked indoors. A relationship was found between increased vitamin C intake and a reduced prevalence of cataracts (i.e., when comparing those above P95 for vitamin C intake with those below P5; (OR = 0.08; Cl: 0.01–0.75, P 0.05). Among subjects with cataracts, 12.1% had vitamin C intakes of < 61 mg/day (P10) and only 2.2% had intakes of > 183 mg/day (P95) (p < 0.01). Subjects who consumed > 3290 μg/day (P95) of lutein were less likely to have cataracts (OR = 0.086; Cl: 0.007–1.084; p < 0.05) than those whose consumption was < 256 μg/day (P5). In men, high intakes of zeaxanthin seemed to provide a protective effect against the problem (OR = 0.96; Cl: 0.91–0.99; p < 0.05). The results suggest an association exists between exposure to sunlight and the development of cataracts, and that vitamin C, lutein, and zeaxanthin offer some protection against this disorder.

Patient’S Autonomy

Ziel dieser Untersuchung war die Autonomie, Privatheit und die Umsetzung des Prinzips der «informierten Zustimmung» aus der Perspektive des institutionell zu betreuenden, älteren Menschen zu beschreiben. Die Untersuchung ist ein Teil des durch die EU-Kommission unterstützten BIOMED 2 Projektes «Patient’s autonomy and privacy in nursing interventions»1. Interviewdaten (n = 95) wurden in deutschen Kliniken der Geriatrie und Pflegeheimen gesammelt. Ergebnisse zeigten, dass die Teilnehmer in geringem Maß selbstbestimmte Entscheidungen treffen konnten. Das Prinzip der «informierten Zustimmung» wurde wenig umgesetzt. Ihre Privatheit sahen die Teilnehmer in Mehrbettzimmern sowie in Situationen des Ankleidens und bei der Verrichtung der Ausscheidungen nicht respektiert. Es ist anzunehmen, dass ältere Menschen wegen Informationsdefiziten, durch ihren Hilfsbedarf und durch die festgelegten Organisationsstrukturen der Pflegeeinrichtungen eine passive Krankenrolle übernehmen. Es wäre denkbar, dass die Autonomie der älteren Menschen gefördert werden könnte, wenn die Pflegekräfte sie in der Rolle des Fürsprechers bei selbstbestimmten Entscheidungen unterstützen würden. Bei den pflegerischen Interventionen würde die Umsetzung des Prinzips der «informierten Zustimmung» sowohl die Autonomie als auch die Respektierung der Privatheit fördern. Es ist außerdem anzunehmen, dass durch Flexibilisierung der Organisationsstrukturen der Pflegeeinrichtungen die Autonomie und Lebensqualität der älteren Menschen gefördert werden könnte.
