Critical Issues

ABSTRACTThe potential role of physical activity in the primary, secondary, tertiary and quarternary treatment of disease is examined with particular reference to the health care needs of the elderly. Areas requiring further research are stressed. On present evidence, it would appear likely that enhanced physical activity could make a useful contribution to the containment of health care expenditures; however, it still has to be established how far the gains of physical condition and resultant improvements of health status that are seen in younger individuals could be realized by the various categories of geriatric patient.

Vital Part

Reflection has become an important tool for physicians and other medical practitioners. However, many forms of reflection exist in the health care literature, with each having particular implications for successful clinical practice. Very little attention has been given to whether reflection is a vital part of narrative medicine and which forms of reflection might be compatible with this approach to patient care. In this article, the most common types of reflection are compared and discussed, specifically regarding their potential role in narrative medicine. Reflection that encourages practitioners to focus on the various perspectives shared within a medical encounter is both in line with the tenets of narrative medicine and has important consequences for patient empowerment.
