BACKGROUND The internet and technology can help older adults connect with family and friends. However, many older adults face obstacles to internet and technology use, such as lack of knowledge or self-efficacy. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to explore the impact of the AGE-ON tablet training program on social isolation, loneliness, and quality of life. METHODS Adults aged >60 years took part in a series of 6 weekly workshops covering the basic features of a tablet. Before and after the program, social isolation, loneliness, social support, and quality of life were assessed. In addition, data on current tablet use and attitudes toward technology use were collected. Satisfaction with the program was also assessed at the end of the study using 6 Likert scale questions. RESULTS The participants (N=32; mean age 76.3, SD 8.6 years) were predominantly female (n=20, 63%) and retired (n=30, 94%). The participants reported that they were highly satisfied with the program. After completing the program, no differences in social isolation, loneliness, social support, or quality of life were found. Frequency of tablet use increased and the attitudes of the participants toward technology improved. CONCLUSIONS The AGE-ON program resulted in increased tablet use frequency and may improve comfort and attitudes toward tablet use among older adults. This program may assist older adults in overcoming obstacles to internet and technology use to better connect with family and friends; however, further work targeting older adults who are socially isolated or at risk of social isolation is needed to more fully understand whether tablet training programs are beneficial in this population.

Abstract Background The population of elderly patients after acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is increasing due to the extension of life expectancy. Purpose The aim of the study was to demonstrate the impact of individual exercise training on the course of the disease, exercise tolerance and quality of life in patients over 75 years of age after ACS. Methods The randomized, prospective, controlled clinical trial included patients with ACS, age >75 years, after acute percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). Patients were randomly assigned to two groups: a training group (ExT) subjected to individualized physical training and a control group, not subjected to training program (CG). ExT patients participated in trainings three times a week for 2 months according to model B or C of the second stage of rehabilitation. Patients from control group (CG) received general recommendations for activity. In addition, patients underwent exercise tolerance test (ETT), 6-minute walk tests (6-MWT), NHP questionnaires evaluation, laboratory tests, ECG, echocardiographic examinations. Results The study included 51 patients, mean age 80 years, men: 50%, n=25 ExT, n=26 (CG). The study was completed by all patients. Physical capacity at the beginning of the trainings assessed in ETT and 6-MWT was comparable in both groups, ns. After two months of training program the average ETT exercise time increased by 12.5% (from 416±152 to 468±153 sec, p=0.0114), and the load by 13% (69±5.2 WAT to 78±25.4 WAT, p=0.0005). The average distance in 6-MWT increased by 8.3% (446±90 to 483±60 m, p=0.006). In CG, the values of the ETT and 6-MWT parameters hadn't significantly changed. After trainings cessation, the mean distances in the study after 6 months and after 12 months returned to the initial values of 474±73 and 476±80 m (respectively: p=0.069, p=0.062) in comparison to the test performed before the beginning of rehabilitation. Similarly, after 1 year, the average duration of the exercise test (242±147 sec) and the average load obtained (70±22.4 WAT) decreased significantly compared to the results after rehabilitation (p=0.0009, p=0.0006), obtaining similar levels as in the initial tests (p=0.481, p=0.593). In the NHP questionnaire in the ExT group the level of pain was significantly lower after the end of the training with respect to the initial measurements (p=0.007) and after 12-months follow-up (p=0.029). In the scale of emotional reactions, a significant deterioration of the quality of life in the ExT group was found after 12 months in relation to measurements after rehabilitation (p=0.040). Conclusions In the octogenarians after ACS, cardiac rehabilitation is safe and in a short period of time improves physical performance. The cessation of the 2-month training results in loss of achieved effects and the deterioration of the quality of life after 12 months since ACS.

Postmenopausal Osteopenia

The impact of a resistance training program on improving the quality of life is not well established. The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of 12-month resistance training in quality of life in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis or osteopenia. Ten women with postmenopausal osteopenia/osteoporosis were divided into a exercise group and control group. The training program included exercises for upper and lower limb muscles with intensities of 50 –70% of 1RM over a period of 12 months. The quality of life was evaluated before and at the end of the study using the Quality of life questionnaire of the European Foundation for Osteoporosis (QUALEFFO-41). A significant improvement was noted in the quality of life in four of the seven parameters for exercise group compared to control group: pain, social activities, general health and mental function. Resistance training program for women with postmenopausal osteopenia/osteoporosis provides quality of life improvement.

The Impact

Introduction: Patients with cancer experience several physical and psychological problems which decrease their quality of life, compared to the lives of other patients, significantly. Tele-nursing follow-up cares are conducted in such a way that trains nurses in order to improve nursing care and achieve increasing welfare for the patients. The main objective of the present study was to determine the impact of continuing nursing consulting through Tele-nursing on the quality of life of cancer patients. Methods: 60 patients who had recently been diagnosed with colorectal cancer and lung cancer that and hospitalized for the first time for treatment were selected through consecutive sampling as the subjects of the present empirical study. Standardized specific questionnaires were used to collect required data and measure the quality of the life of patients with cancer (QLQ-C30) before and after the intervention. The samples were randomly divided into two groups of control and intervention after running the training program and providing informational pamphlets. Subjects in the intervention completed Tele-nursing counseling questionnaire against after the intervention and results from pre- and post-training were compared in both groups.  Results: The results of the present study showed that the quality of life and its aspects of both groups experienced significant change after training program and Tele-nursing (p<0.001); the average quality of life and its aspects increased after educational programs and Tele-nursing (p<0.001). Conclusion: This study showed that Tele-nursing can be quite effective in improving the quality of life of cancer patients; thus, it seems scientifically justified that this method be implemented to enhance the quality of life of other chronic illnesses, as well.
