“…Gokalp and Clarke (2013) believed that basic, instrumental, and advanced activities of daily living (AADL) are the three levels to assess the functional status of older adults. In our study, the measurement of functional limitation did not include AADL, which is different among various cultures (Mortazavi et al, 2021). In China, the traditional kinship and neighborhood was viewed as the main social relations; thus, AADL might be more important to Chinese older adults, which would be further studied in the future.…”

Background The underlying mechanism between sensory impairments (SIs) and depressive symptoms among Chinese older adults is not well understood. This study aims to explore the mediating role of functional limitation on the longitudinal relationship between SIs and depressive symptoms among older adults in China. Methods A total of 4130 older adults who participated in the 3‐year follow‐up China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) were included in the analysis. The hierarchical multiple linear regression model and nonparametric bootstrapping method were employed to explore the relationship between SIs and depressive symptoms, and the mediating role of functional limitation in this link. Results The prevalence of self‐reported hearing impairment (HI) only, vision impairment (VI) only, and dual sensory impairment (DSI) at baseline were 5.7%, 22.2%, and 58.6%, respectively. After adjusting for controlling variables, older adults with DSI had significantly higher levels of depressive symptoms compared with those without SIs at baseline (β = .07, p = .005). The magnitude of mediation effect from DSI to depressive symptoms via functional limitation was a*b = 0.060 (BCa 95% confidence interval: 0.031–0.094). Conclusions Functional limitation partially mediated the relationship between DSI and depressive symptoms among Chinese older adults. Interventions of DSI and functional limitation should be included in depressive symptoms prevention among older adults in China.

“…12 The volunteer movement has blended seamlessly into the healthcare reform, and there is also a tendency towards establishing special centers with the view of helping older people harness technology and various applications, including medical ones. 13 Russia is characterized by a substantial proportion of elderly population, up to 25%, according to Rosstat. The highest shares of seniors are seen in different parts of the Central Federal District: Tula region (30.6%), Vladimir region (29.6%), Moscow region (27.2%), etc.…”

“…1,3,5,10 As older people who live alone and low-income families may have the limited ability to maintain the necessary level of medical social care at home, particular attention is paid to medical social institutions that provide inpatient services, such as nursing homes, assisted living facilities and boarding houses for labor veterans, houses of mercy, geriatric and gerontological centers. [11][12][13] According to multiple sources, elderly patients typically have 3 to 5 chronic conditions. 3,7,8 In the structure of general morbidity, disorders of the circulatory system, musculoskeletal system and digestive system prevail.…”

Objective: This study aims to develop methodological bases of medical social and pharmaceutical care for elderly with systemic diseases in inpatient institutions. Materials and methods: The study was done by using system, comparative, logical and retrospective analyses, as well as through content analysis and with the help of the survey method. Based on the research findings, a methodological approach was developed. Results and Discussion: This study examined the organizational structure and living environment of the Moscow boarding house for labor veterans and determined the distribution of diagnoses in the population of boarding house residents. The paper also provides information on gender and age differences in cardiovascular morbidity among older adults. Conclusion: The paper presents patient satisfaction ratings with the quality of medical, social and pharmaceutical services provided in the examined boarding house against 6 criteria. The satisfaction survey results suggested high quality of care delivery. Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.20(4) 2021 p.809-816

BACKGROUND፡ Individualized patient education can help older people with diabetes to improve their self-care behaviors and effectively manage their disease. Identifying patients' preferred learning style can be a useful way to optimize learning opportunities. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of education based on Kolb's learning style on selfcare behaviors of older people with type II diabetes.METHODS: This randomized clinical trial was conducted on 62 older adults with type II diabetes referred to the diabetes center of Imam Reza Hospital in Bojnourd, Iran, from May to November 2020. Participants who met the inclusion criteria were randomly allocated into two groups of intervention (n=34) and control (n=28). Participants in intervention group received the educational intervention based on their learning style (described by Kolb as accommodating, diverging, converging and assimilating) in four 45 minutes-sessions (two sessions per week). In the control group, the same educational content was presented with a lecture and a booklet. Participants in both groups completed the self-care questionnaires before and one month after the intervention.RESULTS: The mean self-care scores of the older adult patients with type II diabetes based on Kolb's learning style after the educational intervention in the intervention and control groups were 58.15 (SD=10.71) and 44.7 (SD=12.12), respectively (P<0.001). Accommodating Kolb's learning stylebased education was most effective in improving self-care practice in older adult patients with type II diabetes (P<0.001).CONCLUSION: Education based on Kolb's learning style is effective in improving self-care behaviors of older people with type II diabetes. Therefore, it is suggested to consider Kolb's learning style in the educational process of older adults with type II diabetes to improve self-care practice in these patients.
