Objectives To examine the relation between physical and psychological health indicators at adolescence (age 18) and household, personal, and nursing home care use later in life at ages 57–69 years. Methods Using medical examinations on men born in 1944–1947 who were evaluated for military service at age 18 in the Netherlands, we link physical and psychological health assessments to national administrative microdata on the use of home care services at ages 57–69 years. We postulate a panel probit model for home care use over these years. In the analyses, we account for selective survival through correlated panel probit models. Results Poor mental health and being overweight at age 18 are important predictors of later life home care use. Home care use at ages 57–69 years is also highly related to and interacts with father’s socioeconomic status and recruits’ education at age 18. Discussion Specific health characteristics identified at age 18 are highly related to the later utilization of home-care at age 57–69 years. Some characteristics may be amenable to early life health interventions to decrease the future costs of long-term home care.

Previous research has suggested that gardening activity could be an effective form of regular exercise for improving physical and psychological health in later life. However, there is a lack of data regarding the exercise intensities of various gardening tasks across different types of gardening and different populations. The purpose of this study was to examine the exercise intensity of gardening activity for older adult allotment gardeners in Wales, United Kingdom following a similar procedure used in previous studies conducted in the United States and South Korea by Park and colleagues (2008a; 2011). Oxygen consumption (VO2) and energy expenditure for six gardening tasks were measured via indirect calorimetery using the portable Oxycon mobile device. From these measures, estimated metabolic equivalent units (METs) were calculated. Consistent with Park et al. (2008a; 2011) the six gardening tasks were classified as low to moderate-high intensity physical activities based on their metabolic values (1.9–5.7 METs).

The Impact

Service members and their families have endured significant stressors over the past 19 years in support of the nation’s engagement in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. ‘Resilience’ is the term most commonly used to describe the military spouse and military-connected child. However, due to a paucity of research on military families, little is known about the impact of spousal/parental military service on the military family. The ability of the healthcare provider is critical to ensuring the success of the military spouse and military-connected child. Providers can support the physical and psychological health needs of military families through (1) identification of military family members in clinical practice and (2) providing culturally competent care that correlates the unique lifestyle and physical and psychological health exposures associated with spousal/parental military service. Historically, in the United States, there has been a proud legacy of generational military service in families—upwards of 80% of new recruits have a family member who has served in the military. The leading factor associated with retention of the service member on Active Duty or in the Reserve or National Guard is the satisfaction of the at-home spouse. Disenfranchising the military spouse and lack of services and support for military-connected children could create a gap in meeting recruitment goals creating a threat to national security in the United States.

AbstractThe continuing growth in the number of adults aged 60-plus has raised global alertness of population restructuring. This demographic change, on the one hand, reduces productivity and increases public expenditure due to aging, resulting in prejudice, bias, misrepresentation, and discrimination against them. On the other hand, it develops a specific consumer market segment and extends the availability and accessibility of the elderly through employment, volunteering, or grandparenting. This study argues against the stigmatization of this age group from a functional perspective that damages social cohesion. It advocates a humanistic view toward seniors to eradicate marginalization and promotes the manageability of the senior population. With the aid of advanced technology and health equity, senior adults can retain everyday competence for self-care with dignity, as well as gracefully attain physical and psychological health, autonomy, and well-being in their later life. All these considerations give medical and nursing professionals insight into how to take care of the elderly.

Mit dieser Arbeit wurden durch ein deskriptiv-exploratives Querschnittsdesign erstmalig verlässliche Daten zur Prävalenz des Ulcus cruris in der häuslichen Pflege erhoben. Eine randomisierte Stichprobe von 520 häuslichen Pflegediensten in Nordrhein-Westfalen wurde im März 2000 angeschrieben und mittels standardisiertem Fragebogen zu ihren Patienten mit Ulcus cruris befragt. Ermittelt wurden neben der Trägerschaft der Einrichtungen und deren geographische Ansiedlung auch die demographischen Daten der Betroffenen sowie die Dauer und die Ursachen der Ulcera. Auf einer Grundlage der Angaben von 161 Pflegediensten mit insgesamt 12156 Patienten und 326 Betroffenen konnte eine Gesamtprävalenz von 2,68% (± 0.29%) für das Ulcus cruris in der häuslichen Pflege errechnet werden. Das Alter der 326 Betroffenen beträgt im Durchschnitt 77,5 Jahre. Frauen sind mehr als doppelt so häufig betroffen wie Männer, was jedoch im Wesentlichen auf eine höhere Lebenserwartung der Frauen zurückzuführen ist. Fast ein Viertel der Ulcera sind unbekannter Genese. Dieses Ergebnis dürfte ein großes Problem für die häusliche Pflege darstellen, da die Anwendung von Kompressionsverbänden oder -strümpfen für den Behandlungserfolg beim Ulcus cruris von entscheidender Bedeutung und von den ursächlichen Faktoren abhängig ist. Die ausgesprochene Chronizität der Ulcus-Erkrankung bestätigt sich auch in dieser Untersuchung. Durchschnittlich zehn Monate beträgt die Dauer für das aktuelle Ulcus cruris. Für die Betroffenen sind jedoch jahre- oder gar jahrzehntelange Heilungsverläufe keine Seltenheit. In fast 80% der Fälle erfolgt die Wundversorgung einmal täglich durch die häuslichen Pflegedienste.

Abstract. The present study introduces a revised Sense of Coherence (SOC) scale, a new conceptualization and operationalization of the resilience indicator SOC. It outlines the scale development and aims for testing its reliability, factor structure, and validity. Literature on Antonovsky’s SOC (SOC-A) was critically reviewed to identify needs for improving the scale. The scale was investigated in two samples. Sample 1 consisted of 334 bereaved participants, Sample 2 of 157 healthy controls. The revised SOC Scale, SOC-A, and theoretically relevant questionnaires were applied. Explorative and confirmatory factor analyses established a three-factor structure in both samples. The revised SOC Scale showed significant but discriminative associations with related constructs, including self-efficacy, posttraumatic growth, and neuroticism. The revised measure was significantly associated with psychological health indicators, including persistent grief, depression, and anxiety, but not to the extent as the previous SOC-A. Stability over time was sufficient. The study provides psychometric support for the revised SOC conceptualization and scale. It has several advantages over the previous SOC-A scale (unique variance, distinct factor structure, stability). The scale could be used for clinical and health psychological testing or research into the growing field of studies on resilience over the life span.
