ABSTRACT Objective: to understand the conception of the elderly and their caregivers about the accessibility to health mediated by the service in Emergency Care Units. Methodo: a qualitative study conducted with 25 elderly patients and caregivers at Emergency Care Units in a city of Paraná, using Grounded Theory as a methodological reference. Results: According to the participants, the resources available in these services guarantee medical consultation and provide access to exams and medicines. Such resources have attracted patients and caused excess demand, which implies a set of compromising factors for the quality of care in these services. Final considerations: Investments in the restructuring of the care network, especially in primary care, with an increase in the number of consultations and the creation of a bond, can contribute to the emergency care units achieving the goal of access to qualified assistance to the elderly population.

The Relationship

It is well-known that mortality rates are pro-cyclical. In this paper, we attempt to understand why. We find little evidence that cyclical changes in individuals' own employment-related behavior drives the relationship; own-group employment rates are not systematically related to own-group mortality. Further, most additional deaths that occur when the economy is strong are among the elderly, particularly elderly women and those residing in nursing homes. We also demonstrate that staffing in nursing homes moves countercyclically. These findings suggest that cyclical fluctuations in the quality of health care may be a critical contributor to cyclical movements in mortality. (JEL E24, E32, I12, J16, L84)

Abstract Aim. The objective of the study was discussion of the important aspects of care for the elderly, to whom the standards of geriatric care do not apply.Material and methods. In accordance with the designed goal, the analysis included selected literature concerning: the quality of health care standards for the elderly, complex model of geriatric care from the qualitative aspect, institutional care and psychological aspect of the seniors’ stage of life.Results. Standards of care for the elderly differ from each other by the area they refer to and way and level of specificity of reports. The recommendations by the World Health Organization are very general, while the standards by the Polish team of geriatricians and gerontologists present very detailed recommendations. In turn, in the Charter for the Elderly, the authors draw attention to the fact that not only medical services influence the process of treatment of an elderly person, but also: economic, social, and family conditions in which he/she lives. Taking care for an elderly person by the family is an ideal solution. However, when this is not possible, this function is taken over by care institutions. The institutional care, as perceived by the elderly, should be a substitute of family life - this is a specific expression of the desire that the care for an elderly person should not be brought down to service, but should also consider the relational aspect of caring. Unfortunately, this aspect is relatively consequently omitted in standards. In relation to this absence, the relational aspect of care is handled more comprehensively in the presented article.
