“…In a 2015 study examining the relationship between family structure and social support in the elderly, the authors reported that the extended family structure has a positive effect on quality of life. 13 In T A B L E 2 Patients' mean scores of the Sleep Quality Index and the subscales in the Quality of Life Scale according to their socio-demographic characteristics (n = 212) another study on the matter, conducted with the elderly in China, it was reported that the quality of life of the elderly who have a large family and high level of social support is statistically significantly higher. 14 In the same study, it was found that there was a significant difference between the mean quality of life psychological and social domains' scores of patients according to their family structure and the quality of life of patients with large family structure was higher.…”

Research question: How is the quality of life and quality of sleep affected in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia?Research problem: The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of life and quality of sleep in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and to identify the relationship between them. Nocturia is one of the main symptoms associated to BPH, causing significant sleep disturbances, including sleep interruptions. Such sleep interruptions may significantly impair quality of life.Literature review: The assessment of nocturia and its impact on quality of life and sleep quality in patients living with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) has been poor in terms of clinical research; moreover, there is a lack of specific methods to assess this impact. Methodology:The sample of this descriptive study consisted of all patients with the diagnosis of BPH who were admitted to the urology outpatient clinic of a state hospital in Turkey. The data were collected from 212 patients with BPH who accepted to participate in the study in January-June 2018. All patients gave consent prior to inclusion in the study. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and the WHOQOL-BREF (World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale -Brief Form) were used as the principle data collection tools. Percentage, t test, correlation and one-way variance analysis test were used to evaluate the data.Results: The mean age of the patients was 67.50 ± 8.89 years and 63.2% of them were first diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia 2.13 years ago. The lowest and the highest average scores that the patients obtained from the WHOQOL-BREF were their social and environmental domains scores, respectively. In all, 20.2% of the patient were found to have poor sleep quality (global score ≥ 5). The results showed that there was a positive correlation between the mean scores of the sleep quality of the patients and their quality of life physical domain subscale. It was also found that there was a significant negative correlation between night urination and the sleep quality in BPH patients (P < .05).Conclusions: It was determined that low quality of life in BPH patients is associated with low sleep quality. Personal characteristics, frequent night urination and working

“…The general care of older people has traditionally been a family responsibility in Japan. However, changes in the family size and function have led to having fewer children and fewer family members being available to provide care for older people [24]. A previous study in Japan reported that older people who lived with a daughter had a reduced risk of being admitted to a geriatric institution [25].…”

Elucidating the perceptions of residents regarding medical group practice (GP) among rural communities (GP-R) in Japan will be useful for establishing this system in such communities. A survey by questionnaire, as made by experts in rural health, was conducted in 2017. The self-administered questionnaire inquired about the perceptions of residents for accepting the GP-R into the community’s healthcare using seven major elements of GP-R. The questionnaire was randomly distributed to 400 adult residents who lived in rural communities with a recently launched GP and had access to clinics within the communities. Among the 321 respondents, comparisons were made between younger (≤sixties) and older (≥seventies) residents, and a stepwise multiple regression analysis was performed to extract the factors influencing acceptance of the GP-R system. The results showed that older residents had a greater disapprove of being treated by different physicians daily or weekly in clinics (p < 0.001) and the use of telemedicine (p < 0.001) compared with younger residents. Younger residents showed a greater disapproval of clinics closing on weekdays than older residents (p = 0.007). Among all respondents, regardless of age groups, over half of residents approved of the involvement of nurse practitioners in the GP-R. Living with family and children was also extracted as an independent factor influencing a positive perception of the GP-R. These data suggest that the promotion of GP-R should consider generation gaps in the approach to medical practice as well as the family structures of residents. The involvement of nurse practitioners can also encourage the acceptance of GP-R in Japan.
