“…The second sub-theme is “Lack of motivation to improve their lives”. Regardless of whether the research participants are satisfied with their current life or not, their unwillingness of them to improve their overall health, as expressed through food, TV, and photographs, is common among older adults [ 60 ]. This lack of motivation to change their lifestyle to improve their overall health can also have psychological effects on their caregivers.…”

This study attempted to explore the barriers to physical activity of older patients with Hypertension. It aimed to provide robust evidence produced through their eyes. First, through the data analysis of the accelerometer and the decision of the research team, 10 out of the 30 applicants were invited to participate in a photovoice study. Photovoice is one example of participatory action research. Photovoice participants can communicate their unique experiences through photographs, providing a highly realistic and authentic perspective that is not possible to be understood with traditional qualitative research. This study inductively identified four main themes; health illiteracy, distortion of health information, fear of physical activity, and rejection of any life changes. Based on a specific understanding of the population’s perception of physical activity, this study attempted to provide evidence of why many elderly Korean patients with Hypertension stay inactive.

“…Caregivers of the elderly with dementia face severe stress and constraints on daily life due to behavioral and psychological problems and difficulty in performing daily activities due to the cognitive impairment of the dementia patient, and their QOL decreases as a result (D'Onofrio et al, 2015;Kim, 2017). Therefore, Yang et al (2019) claimed the need for occupational therapy intervention programs to maintain and improve the QOL for caregivers of the elderly with dementia.…”

“…Caregiving of dementia patients cause caregivers to discontinue their social activities to take care of dementia patients in addition to giving direct psychological burden, thereby making them face various burdens in everyday life such as loss of interpersonal relations and constraints on spare time (Yoo and Kim, 2004). Furthermore, dementia caregivers are stressed by cognitive behavioral problems of dementia patients such as change of character, wandering about, delusion and aggression, facing more severe depression than other caregiver groups (Cheng, 2017;Givens et al, 2014;Hernandez and Bigatti, 2010;Kuo et al, 2016), and are experiencing severe stress and deteriorated quality of life (QOL) due to restraints on daily life (D'Onofrio et al, 2015;Kim, 2017). These problems experienced by dementia caregivers cause them personal crises so severe as to refer to them as 'hidden patients', even leading to extreme results such as suicidal ideation and attempts (Parks and Novielli, 2003; J.Y.…”

Background and objective: The problem that follows the increase of dementia patients is the burden of caregivers caring for dementia patients. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of horticultural therapy programs improving the quality of life and reducing the depression and burden of caregivers of the elderly with dementia. Methods: In this study, 19 caregivers of the elderly with dementia were selected, and the experiment was conducted by dividing the control group (n=9) and the experimental group (n=10) by random distribution. The experimental group was given eight horticultural therapy programs twice a week for a total of 4 weeks. Subjects were assessed using the depression(CES-D), quality of Life (WHOQOL-BREF), and care burden scales. The evaluation results were verified at a 95% significance level using descriptive statistics, the Mann-Whitney U test, and Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Results: In the case of depression, the control group's score tended to increase, and the experimental group's score appeared to decrease, but it was not a statistically significant change. In the quality of life, the control group was not statistically significant, but scores decreased overall. On the other hand, in the experimental group, the general quality of life increased significantly from 11.60 to 14.20 points (p = .02), and the total quality of life increased to a marginally significant level from 61.59 points to 68.85 points (p = .059). In the post-test of the total care burden score, a marginally significant difference was found between the control group (94.44 points) and the experimental group (82.50 points; p = .079). Conclusion: This study confirmed the applicability to reduce the burden of caregiving and improve the deterioration of quality of life of the caregivers. In particular, the results will serve as an opportunity to confirm accessibility in a new way to support the caregiver of dementia patients by demonstrating the applicability of horticultural therapy at a time when problems such as the burden of supporting the caregiver are emerging as social problems.
