This paper elaborates on a practical film education project conducted in universities, schools and retirement homes, which we have been working on for several years. We describe the approach to teaching and research that we have been following, as well as the basis of our vision for a project on collage, life writing and film education with elderly people. Based on several MA modules on film education that we have taught at various universities during the past few years, as well as on a number of seminars on ageing studies (BA and MA) and on our experience as trained writing coaches, we draw together different strands of our experiences in order to sketch a film education workshop that instructs students to, in turn, instruct elderly people in a retirement home to work on their film experience by means of collage and life writing. The background in teaching and research upon which we draw is based on participatory action research, a constructivist teaching philosophy, a heterarchic organization of university modules and an intersectional understanding of age(ing).

Overall Acceptability

Twelve new sweet potato selections varying in visible characteristics were cooked and evaluated by five groups: a trained taste panel, an untrained taste panel, families in their homes, Haitian agronomists, and elderly people in a retirement home. The characteristics evaluated were appearance, mouthfeel (perceived texture), flavor, sweetness, and overall acceptability. Only one selection was rejected by all groups that tried it, SPV 52, a non-sweet, very dry type. Among the remaining selections, SPV 44, 55, 56, 70 and 71 were highly rated. Selection SPV 70 is not sweet, but was very highly rated by the Haitian agronomists, the untrained panel, and the families. Two orange-fleshed cultivars were readily accepted (SPV 43 and 46). Overall acceptability was correlated with mouthfeel and flavor, but not with appearance or sweetness.

Abstract:The purpose of this research was to analyze the differences between personal well-being in institucionalized and non institucionalized older adults. We also wanted to know the influence that some psychosocial factors could have upon the personal well-being. Factors considered were psychosocial variables such as gender, marital status, people living or not with them (partner, children, other family members), education and socioeconomic level, taking or not prescriptions, and the age. For people living in institutions, we studied how long they have been living in nursurey elderly home. The Questionaire to evaluate the personal well-being was the EBP from Sánchez-Cánovas (1998), but we just assesed two scales: psychological and material well-being because of our population. We evaluated 100 older adults aged between 58-98 year old. Some of them were living in institutions from the region of Cadiz (N= 49), and the others (N=51) were from a special university course for elderly people in the University of Cadiz. We calculated the t Student in order to analyze the differences in personal well-being between older adults living or not in institutions. Non statistically significant differences were found.Keywords: personal well-being, older adults, psychosocial variables and instituitions.Resumen:El propósito de esta investigación fue analizar las diferencias en bienestar personal entre población mayor institucionalizada y no institucionalizada, así como conocer la influencia de distintas variables psicosociales en el bienestar personal según la procedencia de la población mayor estudiada. Por tanto, las variables consideradas en este trabajo fueron el género, estado civil, la convivencia con otras personas incluyendo la pareja e hijos y otros familiares, el nivel de estudios, el nivel socioeconómico, la presencia o no de medicación y la edad. Además, para aquellos mayores procedentes de residencia de mayores, se consideró el tiempo que llevaban viviendo en la misma. El bienestar personal fue evaluado a través de la Escala de Bienestar Psicológico de Sánchez-Cánovas (1998), y sólo se tuvieron en cuenta las subescalas: bienestar psicológico y bienestar material dadas las características de la población objeto de estudio. El cuestionario se pasó a un total de 100 adultos mayores, en un rango de edad entre 58 y 98 años procedentes de residencia de mayores de la provincia de Cádiz por un lado, y por otro, del aula de mayores de la Universidad de Cádiz. Los primeros resultados tras aplicar la t de Student para analizar las diferencias de medias en bienestar personal entre mayores institucionalizados y no institucionalizados, no nos indican diferencias estadísticamente significativas.Palabras clave: bienestar personal, adultos mayores, variables psicosociales, mayores institucionalizados.
