Introduction: The changing proportion of older adults in society necessitates the need to determine the attitudes of health care professionals toward older adults. The purpose of this study was to explore attitudes of ageism and its correlates among health care professionals working with older adults. Method: This descriptive study was conducted in seven hospitals in five cities in Turkey. A total of 628 health care professionals participated in this study. The Fraboni Scale of Ageism (FSA) was used to collect data. Descriptive statistics, student’s t test, one-way analysis of variance and multivariate linear regression were used for data analysis. Results: The mean total score from the FSA was 56.9 ( SD = 8.0). Education (β = −.18, p < .001) and difficulty with the care of older adults (β = −.10, p < .05) were statistically significant predictors of the FSA score. Conclusions: The attitudes of health care professionals toward older adults were generally positive and affected by difficulty in providing care and the educational status of the health care professionals.

AbstractObjective: The aim of this study was to describe the social, physical, intellectual and psychological characteristics of juvenile delinquents in Dublin.Method: One hundred consecutive admissions to the St. Michael's Assessment Centre between March 1,1989 and May 31, 1991 were studied. Information was gathered on a wide range of personal, family and social aspects of the delinquents' lives, together with data on their physical, intellectual and psychological profiles.Results: The majority of subjects came from deprived social and economic backgrounds. 62% of the delinquents were below the 50th percentile for height while 21% were classified as mentally handicapped. The most common psychiatric diagnoses were socialised conduct disorder and mixed disorder of conduct and emotions. Depressive symptoms were endorsed by 12% of the boys and this subgroup tended to engage in more serious offences.Conclusions: This retrospective study demonstrates the high degree of social, physical, intellectual and psychological disadvantage experienced by Dublin juvenile delinquents and underscores the need for further prospective studies in this poorly understood section of our society.

Social Uses

We must not assume, as we so often have, that any problem can be solved merely by the application of more technology, and more hardware. In the case of medicine, far-reaching cultural and economic changes will have to take place before we can develop an optional health care system—changes which need have nothing whatever to do with machines or automation. A computer, or a "patient's assistant," can improve the quality of care or render it mediocre; it can be a means of freeing medical talent for larger questions, or just larger incomes; it can increase the dignity of healing or it can cheapen and degrade the experience. These are outcomes that are relatively independent of the technology itself; as we have learned so often and so painfully, it is the social uses to which we put these capabilities that are crucial. If we don't allow a blind technological imperative to squeeze all that is human out of the healing process, if we don't let lust for maximized profit margins contaminate even more of medicine, these tools may play a role in ending the crisis of health care delivery we now face. But if we choose to approach these problems as we have approached so many others in this century, even pulling out all the plugs won't help.

In human–human interactions, a consciously perceived high degree of self–other overlap is associated with a higher degree of integration of the other person's actions into one's own cognitive representations. Here, we report data suggesting that this pattern does not hold for human–robot interactions. Participants performed a social Simon task with a robot, and afterwards indicated the degree of self–other overlap using the Inclusion of the Other in the Self (IOS) scale. We found no overall correlation between the social Simon effect (as an indirect measure of self–other overlap) and the IOS score (as a direct measure of self–other overlap). For female participants we even observed a negative correlation. Our findings suggest that conscious and unconscious evaluations of a robot may come to different results, and hence point to the importance of carefully choosing a measure for quantifying the quality of human–robot interactions.

Nonprofit leaders and managers are recognizing the benefits of creating inclusive organizations in which everyone feels valued and appreciated, yet little is known about how leaders can foster workplace inclusion. This study examined the relationships among leader engagement, inclusion, innovation, job satisfaction, and perceived quality of care in a diverse nonprofit health care organization. Data were collected at three points in 6-month intervals from a U.S. nonprofit hospital. Multilevel path analysis indicated significant direct associations between leader engagement, inclusion, and innovation. Innovation was directly linked to improved job satisfaction and perceived quality of care. Significant indirect effects were found from leader engagement to increased job satisfaction and perceived quality of care through increased climates for inclusion and innovation. Findings suggest that nonprofit leaders who engage others in critical organizational processes can help foster an inclusive climate that leads to increased innovation, employee job satisfaction, and perceived quality of care.

Changes in society’s needs have increased individuals’ desire to be independent and receive health care at home. Home health care (HHC) is one of the main components of realizing these ambitions. However, there is a serious concern about the state of development of the HHC industry in Iran and the quality of its services. This study aims to explore the barriers to the development of HHC in Iran. This qualitative study with a conventional content analysis approach was conducted in Tabriz, Iran, from October 2019 to March 2020. Twenty-one key stakeholders including nurses, home health directors, physicians, policy-makers, patients, and their families participated in the study. Participants were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected using a focus group discussion (FGD) and 18 semi-structured in-depth interviews and analyzed using Graneheim and Lundman’s techniques. Data collection continued until saturation was reached. Three main themes emerged from the analysis: quality management challenges, insufficient infrastructure and policy, and political issues. The findings show that applying standard strategies to monitor the quality of services, paying attention to infrastructure, and having a clear framework for policy-making are beneficial for the development of the HHC industry. Health managers can monitor and upgrade the quality of HHC services by defining standards and assessment indicators, as well as providing comprehensive data. It is suggested that legislators consider the principles of community-based accountability, justice, and accessibility their top priority. Moreover, policymakers need to develop a roadmap to reform policies to create the conditions for the development of this industry.
