In modern society, the importance of scalp hair care is increasing. Therefore, we would like to suggest a direction for improving the expertise of trichologists as a way to meet the demand for customized scalp and hair care services. In this study, a total of 298 questionnaires were used as frequency analysis, factor analysis, reliability analysis, regression analysis, and correlation analysis data through SPSS 26.0. analyzed. The survey results regarding the use of scalp and hair care services are as follows. First, trichologist expertise was classified as a single factor, and service use intention was classified as perceived usefulness and subjective normative factors. Second, the higher the expertise of the trichologist, the greater the effect of the intention to use the scalp and hair care service on the perceived usefulness factor and the subjective normative factor. In conclusion, we hope that more research will be done to strengthen the expertise of the trichologist, a senior workforce in the rapidly evolving beauty and health care industry.

Care Services

Aged care services have the potential to support social participation for the growing number of adults aging at home, but little is known about the types of social activities older adults in community care are engaged in. We used cluster analysis to examine the current profiles of social participation across seven domains in 1,114 older Australians, and chi-square analyses to explore between-group differences in social participation and sociodemographic and community care service use. Two distinct participation profiles were identified: (a) connected, capable, older rural women and (b) isolated, high-needs, urban-dwelling men. The first group had higher levels of engagement across six social participation domains compared with the second group. Social participation among older adults receiving community care services varies by gender, age, individual care needs, and geographical location. More targeted service provision at both the individual and community levels may assist older adults to access social participation opportunities.

Use Of Health Care

To establish the use of health care services 6 months following major trauma, 243 blunt major trauma patients were recruited during their acute hospital stay and followed up by telephone interview at 6 months post-injury. Data collected at 6 months included health care service usage and their level of disability according to the Glasgow Outcome Scale ? Extended (GOSE). Ninety-four percent of patients were living in the community at 6 months, and most (69%) reported continued use of health care services. Of those with ongoing disability, non-compensable patients were significantly more likely (OR 3.7; 95% CI, 1.6?8.6) to have ceased health care service use than compensable patients, independent of injury severity.

Maternal Health Care Services

SummaryThis study aimed to assess empirically the influence of individual and community (neighbourhood) factors on the use of maternal health care services in India through three outcomes: utilization of full antenatal care (ANC) services, safe delivery and utilization of postnatal care services. Data were from the third round of the National Family Health Survey (2005–06). The study sample constituted ever-married women aged 15–49 from 29 Indian states. Multilevel logistic regression analysis was performed for the three outcomes of interest accounting for individual- and community-level factors associated with the use of maternal health care services. A substantial amount of variation was observed at the community level. About 45%, 51% and 62% of the total variance in the use of full ANC, safe delivery and postnatal care, respectively, could be attributed to differences across the community. There was significant variation in the use of maternal health care services at the individual level, with socioeconomic status and mother's education being the most prominent factors associated with the use of maternal health care services. At the community level, urban residence and poverty concentration were found to be significantly associated with maternal health care service use. The results suggest that an increased focus on community-level interventions could lead to an increase in the utilization of maternal health care services in India.

Proxy Reports

Although much of the research on service use by older adults with dementia relies on proxy reports by informal caregivers, little research assesses the accuracy of these reports, and that which does exist, does not focus on home care services. This brief report compares proxy reports by family caregivers to those with dementia with provincial Ministry of Health records collected for payment and monitoring. The four home care services examined include home nursing care, adult day care, home support, and respite care. Data come from a province-wide study of caregivers in British Columbia, Canada. Caregiver reports are largely consistent with Ministry records, ranging from 81.0% agreement for home support to 96.6% for respite care. Spouses living with the care recipient (the vast majority of the sample) are the most accurate. Others, whether living with the care recipient or not, have only a 50-50 chance of being correct.

IntroductionCardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading contributor to disease burden worldwide. Older people hospitalized with CVD might experience significant decline in physical function and loss of independence. Objectives and ApproachThe aim of this study was to investigate the use of community aged care (CAC) and permanent residential aged care (PRAC) services 3 months, 6 months and 12 months after hospital admission for myocardial infarction (MI), stroke and congestive heart failure (CHF). Survey data from the 45 and Up Study (2006-09) for 266,942 people aged 45+ was linked with records for hospital stays (APDC), aged care service use (NACDC), and deaths (RBDM) for 2006-14 through CHeReL and AIHW. Relative risks of using aged care (CAC or PRAC) after MI, stroke or CHF hospitalization were estimated using Cox regression. We described and visualized sequences of health service states (none, re-hospitalization, CAC, PRAC, death) after the index hospitalization. ResultsCompared with people without MI, people hospitalized with a principal diagnosis of MI (multivariable-adjusted HR:1.11, 95%CI:1.04-1.18), stroke (HR:1.52, 95%CI:1.43-1.61) and CHF (HR:1.12, 95%CI:1.06-1.19) were more likely to use CAC within 3 months of the hospital discharge. Likewise, people with MI (HR:1.16, 95%CI:1.03-1.29), stroke (HR:2.81, 95%CI:2.58-3.05) and CHF (HR:1.36, 95CI:1.24-1.49) were more likely to enter PRAC within 3 months of discharge. Similar findings were observed for 6 months and 12 months. MI, stroke and CHF patients were more likely to die but less likely to be re-hospitalized after the first 3 months. The number use of CAC and PRAC remains unchanged over 12 months. While this study provides a broadly representative sample of the older population, participants may be healthier than the general population. Conclusion / ImplicationsCVD increases use of community and residential care services. Coordination of cardiac and stroke rehabilitation is warranted to maximize ageing in place.

The Impact

Background: This study aimed to determine the rates of inpatient palliative care service use and assess the impact of palliative care service use on in-hospital treatments and resource utilization in hospital admissions for hepatorenal syndrome. Methods: Using the National Inpatient Sample, hospital admissions with a primary diagnosis of hepatorenal syndrome were identified from 2003 through 2014. The primary outcome of interest was the temporal trend and predictors of inpatient palliative care service use. Logistic and linear regression was performed to assess the impact of inpatient palliative care service on in-hospital treatments and resource use. Results: Of 5571 hospital admissions for hepatorenal syndrome, palliative care services were used in 748 (13.4%) admissions. There was an increasing trend in the rate of palliative care service use, from 3.3% in 2003 to 21.1% in 2014 (p < 0.001). Older age, more recent year of hospitalization, acute liver failure, alcoholic cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma were predictive of increased palliative care service use, whereas race other than Caucasian, African American, and Hispanic and chronic kidney disease were predictive of decreased palliative care service use. Although hospital admission with palliative care service use had higher mortality, palliative care service was associated with lower use of invasive mechanical ventilation, blood product transfusion, paracentesis, renal replacement, vasopressor but higher DNR status. Palliative care services reduced mean length of hospital stay and hospitalization cost. Conclusion: Although there was a substantial increase in the use of palliative care service in hospitalizations for hepatorenal syndrome, inpatient palliative care service was still underutilized. The use of palliative care service was associated with reduced resource use.

Abstract Background Whether long-term care service use decreases older adults’ health care service use and cost has been a strong interest among aging countries, including Taiwan. The current study examined the impact of continuous use of HCBS offered by Taiwan’s LTC plan 2.0 on older adults’ health service utilization and cost overtime. Methods This study used the LTC Plan 2.0 database and the National Health Insurance Plan claim dataset, and included 151,548 clients who had applied for and were evaluated for LTC services for the first time from 2017 through 2019 and continuously used any LTC Plan 2.0 services for six months. Outcome variables were users’ health service utilization and health care cost 12 months before and after starting to continuously use HCBS. Latent class analysis and generalized estimating equations were used to investigate the influences of different service use patterns on the changes in physical functions. Results Three subgroups of LTC recipients with different use patterns, including home-based personal care (home-based PC) services (n = 107324, 70.8%), professional care services (n = 30466, 20.1%), and community care services (n = 13794, 9.1%) were identified. When compared to care recipients in the community care group, those in the home-based PC group had more emergency room expenditures (1 point/month, p&lt; 0.05) but less hospitalization expenditures (38 points/month, p&lt;0.001), while the professional care group had less emergency room and hospitalization expenditures (3 and 138 points/month, p&lt; 0.001). Conclusion Those receiving professional care and home care services spent less on health care service utilization.

Abstract Background Public home care for the elderly is a key area in relation to improving health care quality. It is an important political goal to increase elderly people’s involvement in their care and in the use of welfare technology. The aim of this study was to explore elderly service users’ experience of user involvement in the implementation and everyday use of welfare technology in public home care services. Method This qualitative study has an explorative and descriptive design. Sixteen interviews of service users were conducted in five different municipalities over a period of six months. The data were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis. Results Service users receiving public home care service are not a homogenous group, and the participants had different wishes and needs as regards user involvement and the use of welfare technology. The analysis led to four main themes: 1) diverse preferences as regards user involvement, 2) individual differences as regards information, knowledge and training, 3) feeling safe and getting help, and 4) a wish to stay at home for as long as possible. Conclusion The results indicated that user involvement was only to a limited extent an integral part of public home care services. Participants had varying insight into and interest in welfare technology, which was a challenge for user involvement. User involvement must be facilitated and implemented in a gentle way, highlighting autonomy and collaboration, and with the focus on respect, reciprocity and dialogue.
