“…These factors altogether result in improved balance and decrease the FOF in elderly women. The results obtained in the present study were found to be in line with the results reported by some of the previous studies which indicated that community based interventions could improve the professional roles of nurses and help in addressing the changes caused due to aging [49,50].…”

“…Hence, it is proposed that nurses, as the member of elderly healthcare team, can play effective roles in improving the overall health status of elderly women, especially in community based service settings [50]. The findings should be particularly emphasized in countries like Iran where the socio-cultural conditions do not approve of acceptation of sports by women due to the supposed limitations of women in accomplishing physical activities.…”

Objectives:The aim of this study was to determine the effect of Pilates exercise on Fear of Falling (FOF) among elderly women. Methods:The present study is a clinical trial that was conducted on 44 elderly women aged between 60-80 years. Subjects were recruited through the convenience sampling method and were then randomly divided into two groups of inference viz. pilates exercise group, the members of which underwent Pilates exercise training along with the routine sanatorium exercises and the control group in which members stuck with (routine exercise only. Data was gathered by using demographic questionnaire and Fall Efficacy Scale-International (FES-I). For the intervention group, Pilates training was done for 8 weeks, three times a week (1 hour per session) under the supervision of a trained coach. Data were analyzed by the SPSS software v.16. Results:The findings indicated that the means of FES-I scores in Pilates group improved from 32.90 to 22.18 (MD=10.72) after the intervention. According to the independent t-test, there was a significant difference in the means of post intervention FES-I scores, between the two groups (P<0.001). In the Pilates group, the effect size of intervention was much more than the control group (ES=0.89). Discussion:Pilates training could decrease the FOF and may thus be implemented as an effective interventional method for fall prevention in elderly women.

“…By understanding these factors, healthcare providers can support elderly persons with COPD in managing to maintain independence in self-care and controlled co-existence with disease. Reducing the number of admissions, referral of elders with COPD to medical centers and clinics, and the financial burden of the disease, as well as increasing life satisfaction can be a consequence of empowerment interventions [29]. The results of this study can also be used in the formulation of policy and setting the standards of care in our country, as they illuminate important concepts and provide basic knowledge of the process of empowerment among elderly persons with COPD.…”

The empowerment of elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: Managing life with the disease

et al. 2017

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a serious health problem that has significant effects on the life status of elderly persons. Use of the empowerment approach is necessary for health promotion in older people with COPD, but little attention has so far been paid to all the dimensions of empowerment in the management of COPD, which would provide useful knowledge regarding elders with COPD. This article reports on a study exploring people’s experiences of the empowerment of older people with COPD. This study adopted an exploratory qualitative design and was carried out using grounded theory methodology. Grounded theory was considered appropriate for this study because of its focus on how people respond to and act on the problems that they encounter. We collected data by conducting in-depth semi-structured interviews and taking field notes. Twenty-four participants were selected through purposive sampling.The results showed that in encountering the complexity of disease and in response to difficulties induced by COPD, three strategies were applied. Elderly persons with COPD, their family caregivers, and professional team members engaged in “managing life with COPD,” “striving to keep abreast of life,” “preparing for battle with disease,” and “helping to stabilize the elder’s life.” The outcome of these strategies was “co-existence with disease.” The potential of “managing life with COPD” was influenced by the following factors: “co-existence with ageing,” “personal potential,” “a challenged health system,” and “weak social support.” “Managing life with COPD” enables the elder to feel in control and live optimally. This is a fragile balance, however, and the unpredictability of COPD can tip the elder into “self-efficacy.” Understanding the experiences of the empowerment process of older people with COPD can help health professionals provide more focused elderly care.

“…Nurse-led interventions PEREIRA et al [63] conducted a systematic review to identify the impact of nurse-led interventions related to self-care in COPD. After full-text reviews, only one randomised clinical trial could be included in this review [64]. The included study aimed to identify the effect of a home-based pulmonary rehabilitation programme on self-care behaviours of COPD patients in GOLD stage 2 and 3.…”

This article provides an overview of outstanding sessions that were (co)organised by the Allied Respiratory Professionals' Assembly during the European Respiratory Society International Congress 2019 in Madrid, Spain. Session content was mainly targeted at allied respiratory professionals such as respiratory physiologists, respiratory physiotherapists and respiratory nurses, and is summarised in this document. Short take-home messages related to pulmonary function testing highlight the importance of quality control. Furthermore, novel findings regarding the assessment of functional status call attention to bodily factors that can affect functional status. Regarding pulmonary rehabilitation, data were presented about the use of equipment and type of exercise training in COPD and lung cancer. Recent developments in physical activity-related research give insight in enablers of physical activity after hospital admission. The importance of integrated respiratory care was also highlighted, with the occupational therapist, nurse, and nutritional and psychological counsellor playing a pivotal role, which relates directly to research in the field of respiratory nursing that formulates the need for more nursing led-interventions in the future. To conclude, this review provides readers with valuable insight into some of the emerging and future areas affecting clinical practice of allied healthcare professionals.
