Supporting Utah's Parents In Preventing Adolescent Suicide: A Literature Review And Handouts For Utah's Youth Suicide Prevention Manual, Jennifer L. Whicker

Theses and Dissertations

Suicide, a public health problem on a global scale, has become the focus in many domains across the United States. With the recent push to provide solutions to the adolescent suicide rate in the U.S., the school setting has become an important venue for prevention and intervention efforts. While there are many risk and protective factors, the majority of suicide completions are concurrent with psychiatric disorders among adolescents; as such, this is an area that warrants further investigation. Additionally, school resources are often overwhelmed by the magnitude of need among the student population; therefore, effective interventions must be identified that …

APIAS-TSAO-ILC Symposium for Junior Researchers on Active Ageing 2012

Dependency in old age is commonly linked to declining health and financial resources and thus, older persons have to rely on family members for support. Nonetheless, family support has been found to vary widely by coresidence status. The purpose of this study is to determine the contribution of co-residence status and selected demographic variables in predicting the likelihood of older persons receiving financial and/or non-financial support from children. A sub-sample of 1,273 older persons aged 60 years and above was obtained from a nationwide survey in Malaysia in 2010. Respondents’ response on the types of support received from children were …

The Implications Of Active Participation Among The Elderly To Care Giving, Sta. Maria Madelene

APIAS-TSAO-ILC Symposium for Junior Researchers on Active Ageing 2012

The aging population in the Philippines has grown to over six million in 2011. This increase translates to an increase in fam­ily expenditures, with care of old adults being regarded more of a family rather than a state responsibility in the country. Transitions occurring within the Filipino family, such as increased local and foreign migration, or the growth of single-person households, will likewise result in changes in care giving arrangements for the Filipino elderly. Research studies have found that active participation addresses caregiving costs and concerns currently being faced by Filipino families. By engaging actively, old adults are able to …

香港私人營辦安老院的發展趨勢, Chi Yuk, Kenneth Chan

APIAS-TSAO-ILC Symposium for Junior Researchers on Active Ageing 2012

引言

八十年代初随着香港的经济起飞，劳动力巿场需要大量人手，而一批来自内地的医务工作者，配合当时经济发展的需要，看准时机创办了私营安老院，为有需要幚助的家庭释放劳动力。私营安老院经过三十年的发展，供应量随着巿场的需求而快速增长，直至目前为止，香港763间安老院当中，有579间属于私营机构营办的院舍，私院数目占全港安老院总数的75.9%，合共提供53,310个宿位。

踏入廿一世纪，香港逐步迈向老龄化社会，医疗科技的进步和完善的公共医疗服务，令香港的长者平均寿命位居世界第二位，长者的寿命延长的同时，对长期护理服务的需求亦相应与日俱增。目前，香港65岁或以上人口有941,312人，长者人数占人口总数的13.3%，而安老院宿位的供应量亦增至75,716个，占长者人口约8%。近年，政府提出多项支援长者社区照顾的措施，未来社会对长者护理服务的需求会更加多元化，而对院舍服务的期望和要求亦会越来越高。

摘要

中国大陆60岁及以上老年人口已经接近1.9亿人，伴随着人口老龄化的迅速发展，老年人需要生活照料的比便和人数也在提高，根据测算其中生活不能自理的老年人超过1000万人，对社会和家庭养老护理人员的能力提出了新的挑战。国家十二五规划明确提出了到2015年的发展目标，增强机构养老和社区照顾为老服务的能力，转变政府职能，扩大基本公共服务的提供，政府部门也日益重视家庭的发展。在上述背景下，本文分析了目前需要存在的主要问题和相关政策建议，提出符合资质的养老护理人员需要加大培养力度，形成学校、机构、社区多层次培养教育体系。在体制机制上创新医护和养老护理人员之间的流动体制，提高养老护理人员的队伍稳定性和业务水平。在积极老龄化政策框架下，认识到老年人有家庭照料中发挥的重要作用，并在社区服务中增加对家庭护理人员的支持内容。养老护理人员的能力建设的长远发展，需要政府和社会在老龄社会应对战略、政策法规和具体服务措施三方面得到支撑。
