“…These results suggest that the aspects related to the first concept stand out from the others because they explain the most variance compared with the four remaining concepts. With respect to activities of daily living, Sau et al 24 claim that the ability to perform ADLs can help the reduction of the likelihood of loneliness. The authors also state that ADL activities play an essential role in maintaining older adults' mobility, thus contributing to a healthy aging.…”

A core set of International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health codes was used to ascertain general profiles of functionality as a function of biological and sociodemographic characteristics and to develop structured nursing interventions in accordance with self care deficits identified by studying self care behavior for elderly people living in both extensively and sparsely populated rural areas. Data were collected by health professionals in the participants' houses. An exploratory factor analysis enabled reduced data dimensions, and factorial validity was assessed by a confirmatory factor analysis. An ordinal regression model was built to identify general profiles of functionality as a function of age. A bar graph was used as a measurement tool for nursing care needs as a function of self care behavior and functional profile level. No functional problems were expected among people under the age of 74 years, while mild functionality problems were expected among people older than 74 years. Regarding nursing care needs, the results of the constructed model suggested that the functional concept "Support and Relationships" is associated with higher levels of functional problems and thus a greater need for self care interventions and that people aged 85 years and older always show therapeutic self care deficits.

“…Participation, a construct encapsulating communication, mobility, interpersonal interactions, and self-care, allows fulfillment of valued life activities and social roles (Sau et al, 2015; Tomioka et al, 2016). The World Health Organization’s International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) emphasizes the importance of social participation among all disabled individuals, including older adults who often contend with motor and sensory impairments.…”

Social engagement and autonomy are vital for life satisfaction among older adults. We measured multiple domains of social participation and autonomy in 120 adults over age 55 years that were part of an educational program at pretest, posttest, and follow-up. Quantitative and qualitative data were analyzed for differences between Black and White participants. White participants reported worse engagement in the family role domain and a lower Total Participation Score at posttest than pretest; however, scores returned to baseline levels by follow-up. Black participants reported better levels of participation in the social relationship domain at follow-up than at pretest. We found no evidence of qualitative differences between racial groups. Barriers to social participation and autonomy included challenges related to health, ageism, transportation, and mobility. Adequate housing, social support, socialization, and perception of individual utility contributed to feeling independent. Educational programs for older adults may provide an opportunity for increased social participation.
