There have been many geriatric tools developed to assess health status targeting especially for older adults from developed nations but not context specific. Whereas finger count tools are available for LMICs, especially the South Asia population. CGA, as opposed to medical examination, uses multiple tools to capture a holistic health status of the older adults in line with the more comprehensive WHO definition of health. It includes a harmonized evaluation of the clinical, functional, psychological, environmental and social health status of older population. Although there is no standardized format for carrying out CGA, there is broad consensus on the domains that need to be measured. For the better caring of culturally diverse South Asian older population, we need to develop more culturally competent CGHA tools. So, this review summarised studies that describe validated tools for assessing geriatric health in community settings in South Asia. We followed Arksey and O Malleys five-stage scoping review framework, refined with the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology, to identify the research questions, identify relevant studies, select studies, chart the data, and collate and summarize the data. Using the PRISMA-ScR guidelines, a search of 3 databases (PubMed, Embase and PsychInfo was undertaken. After applying eligibility criteria to 607 articles, only 46 studies met the inclusion criteria. 7 studies reported on medical assessment, 4 studies assessed psychological condition,6 studies assessed functional issue,2 studies assessed social wellbeing and 9 studies reported on different domains. None study measured all domains. 24 tools calibrated with Gold standard measure, were validated and reliable by assessed with psychometric properties such as sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV and ROC-AUC. Meanwhile, 21 tools were validated exclusively for older adults, whereas there are no validated tools available for CGHA in South Asia. This review will guide us for development of CGHA tools or adaptation of existing tools in our context. As well, it will help practitioners to develop tools to measure comprehensive health of the elderly in their context.

“…Medical and functional health assessment seems to be the major domain of CGA represented by maximum number of tools. Only 2 studies(16)(50) address domains related to social health. While assessing geriatric QoL, environment plays a very important role, but the domain is the least frequent one found.…”

Objective: to analyze the caregiver burden and the quality of life of informal caregivers of children with cerebral palsy. Methods: the cross-sectional survey involved 109 caregivers of children with cerebral palsy recruited from physiotherapy clinic at a tertiary hospital. The quality of life and caregiver burden were assessed using the Personal Wellbeing Index Scale and the Modified Caregivers’ Strain Index, respectively. Data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: the mean strain index and quality of life scores of the participants were 11.85 ± 5.72 and 64.68 ± 8.03 respectively. The majority (67.9%) of the caregivers had fair personal well-being, while about one-third (33.0%) had high caregiver’s strain. Child’s age (B=2.454; p<0.005) and caregivers’ occupation (B= -2.547; p=0.001) were predictors of caregiver strain. Conclusion: caring for children with cerebral palsy imposed a substantial burden on the caregivers and child’s age and caregivers’ occupation were predictor variables.

In this narrated review, we draw attention to the use of happiness as a novel outcome measure in clinical research studies regarding patients with stroke. Commonly used outcome measures in clinical trials in stroke rehabilitation include the modified Rankin Score (mRS), Functional Impairment Measures (FIM), Barthel Index and quality of life (QoL). Despite being a part of QoL, happiness is arguably a significant construct on its own. While QoL assesses perceptions of various extrinsic aspects of life, happiness may be used as a measure of subjective enjoyment of life after an illness. We review the literature discussing the use of happiness as a formal outcome measure in stroke care and subacute and long-term stroke rehabilitation. Ultimately we recommend the wider use of happiness as an outcome measure where appropriate in these settings.
