Older Adults
The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA) is a large-scale, nationally representative study of people aged 50 and over in Ireland. It is the most ambitious study of ageing ever carried out in Ireland and represents a step-change in terms of data/ knowledge/ understanding of ageing with which to inform policy and novel research.More than 8,000 people aged 50 and over accepted the invitation to participate in the first wave of TILDA, and the majority of these also agreed to undertake a comprehensive health assessment.The role of the family is often emphasised in Ireland, but to date there is little evidence on what families provide to older adults, what older adults give to their families. TILDA enables a detailed analysis of the relationship of older adults to their families/ communities in terms of the contact that older people have with family members, the exchanges that take place within families and the broader networks of help/ support among friends and neighbours. The findings support an optimistic view that the majority of older people live relatively near to their children/ surviving parents, have frequent contact with them, and inter-generational transfers are common.

Safeguarding Children in Ireland
Child protection and welfare has achieved an unprecedented position on the public agenda over the past decade, and the services set up to deal with it have been put under particular scrutiny. Policy development and new legislation have combined to bring about a more comprehensive, better resourced and more supported framework for child care practices. Yet, it needs to be acknowledged child protection is an uncertain and difficult area of work, which depends on a number of variables, not least of which is a sound knowledge base.

Devastating. There's no other word to describe the feeling when you or someone you love is diagnosed with cancer. On any given day, you might rotate between feelings of disbelief, anger, and grief.

Midlife is the stage in the life of a human being between young adulthood and the onset of old age. It is generally assumed to fall in the bracket of 45 to 65 years of age. This period is characterized by the slowing down of the boy, sensitivity to diet, stress and substance abuse. During midlife, several health conditions may develop like fibroids, migraine and systemic lupus erythematosus.

Over the past decades, studies have advanced the understanding of ovarian aging and its relationship to cardiovascular, bone, cognitive and musculoskeletal health. Signs of aging may become prominent and more rapid in women with osteoporosis. Decline in physical fitness such as reduction in aerobic performance and decrease in maximal heart rate, as well as changes in the skin occur in midlife. Healthy behavior, in particular the maintenance of healthy body weight and physical activity can moderate certain negative changes. Therefore, this period constitutes a critical period for optimizing health and functioning, and preventing chronic diseases.

Toxic Nursing, Second EditionManaging Bullying, Bad Attitudes, and Total Turmoil
Today's nurse managers--tasked with a wide array of responsibilities from staffing and budgeting to promoting safe and effective patient care--face unprecedented demands in their role as leaders of the largest healthcare workforce in the industry. They must be clinically competent, relationally savvy, and administratively gifted--and find the time to create and sustain a healthy work environment. In addition to those demands, the lopsided aging of the population has had a double impact: More nurses are retiring from the profession at the same time as elderly baby boomers require increasingly complex and costly care. As nursing workforce retirements increase, a continued push for effective leadership will be critical to healthcare outcomes in the coming decades. As workforce shortages continue, it will be critical to educate managers who can advocate for, support, and empower staff. Healthcare organizations have a duty to provide nurse managers with the tools and support needed to manage effectively. Toxic Nursing is an integral part of that education.Each chapter begins with an overview of particular areas where nurse toxicity often arises. Following that is a section titled "Clearing Toxicity: Scenarios, Insights, and Reflections." Here there are scenarios based on real-life accounts, with insight and advice from nurse leaders--a group of 31 experts in nursing management who were asked to respond to the narratives from the perspective of preventing, ad­dressing, or minimizing the consequences of conflict. Experts were asked to avoid citing references and rely on their own experiences and intuitive skills to provide practical advice about the situation. Following the "Nurse Leader Insight" section are "Reflections" with prompts to help readers explore the issues presented.At the end of each chapter is a section called "Fostering Cultural Change" that can help guide you as you explore with your staff methods to decrease toxicity and promote a healthier and more satisfying work environment. Toxic Nursing, Second Edition helps nurses--from bedside nurses to charge nurses to nurse managers--navigate the nuances and gray areas of toxic behavior.

Psychologie des Gesundheitsverhaltens. Stress und Selbstwirksamkeitserwartung
Einsendeaufgabe aus dem Jahr 2019 im Fachbereich Gesundheit - Gesundheitswissenschaften - Gesundheitspsychologie, Note: 0,7, Deutsche Hochschule f羹r Pr瓣vention und Gesundheitsmanagement GmbH, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Diese Arbeit setzt sich aus gesundheitspsychologischer Sicht damit auseinander, wie Stress und die sogenannte Selbtswirksamkeitserwartung definiert, und diesem Ph瓣nomen vorgebeugt werden kann. In einem ersten Schritt werden die beiden Fachtermini deshalb definiert. Selbstwirksamkeitserwartung wird definiert als die subjektive Gewissheit, neue oder schwierige Anforderungssituationen auf Grund eigener Kompetenz bew瓣ltigen zu k繹nnen. Dabei handelt es sich nicht um Aufgaben, die durch einfache Routine l繹sbar sind, sondern um solche, deren Schwierigkeitsgrad Handlungsprozesse der Anstrengung und Ausdauer f羹r die Bew瓣ltigung erforderlich macht. Kompetenzerwartung beschreibt die Sicherheit einer Person, in einer bestimmten Situation zu einem definierten Zeitpunkt ein Verhalten umzusetzen, welches zu einem bestimmten Ergebnis f羹hrt. In einem n瓣chsten Schritt werden die beiden Definitionen mit dem Handlungsfeld "Stress zusammengef羹hrt, bevor in einem letzten Schritt, ausgehend von einem Fragebogen, ein m繹gliches Beratungsgespr瓣ch geschildert wird.

Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2015 im Fachbereich Gesundheitswissenschaften - Gesundheitsp瓣dagogik, Fachhochschule M羹nster (Bildung&Beratung Bethel), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die Arbeit besch瓣ftigt sich thematisch mit den theoretischen Grundlagen der Erlebnisp瓣dagogik sowie deren Umsetzung am Beispiel einer durchgef羹hrten erlebnisp瓣dagogischen Ma?nahme in der Gesundheits- und Krankenpflegeausbildung. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es aufzuzeigen, welche theoretischen Grundlagen zur Planung, Durchf羹hrung sowie zur Reflexion einer solchen Ma?nahme erforderlich sind. Es soll ersichtlich werden, welche verschiedenen Kompetenzen gef繹rdert werden k繹nnen und inwieweit die verschiedenen Zielsetzungen der Ausbildungsrichtlinie Nordrhein-Westfalen f羹r die Gesundheits- und Krankenpflege mit denen der Erlebnisp瓣dagogik 羹bereinstimmen. Die Autoren erhoffen sich, durch die Darstellung einer selbst瓣ndig umgesetzten Ma?nahme, interessierten Personen den Zugang zu dieser Form der P瓣dagogik zu erm繹glichen. Das Ergebnis der Arbeit zeigt, dass die Erlebnisp瓣dagogik ein geeignetes Instrument zur F繹rderung beruflicher Handlungskompetenz in der Gesundheits- und Krankenpflegeausbildung darstellt, jedoch auch Grenzen aufweist. Diese Grenzen, aber gerade auch die Chancen und M繹glichkeiten der Erlebnisp瓣dagogik sind integraler Bestandteil der folgenden Arbeit.
Krankenkassen in Deutschland. Vergleich zwischen gesetzlichen und privaten Krankenversicherungen
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2017 im Fachbereich Gesundheit - Gesundheitswesen, Note: 1,7, SRH Fernhochschule, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Diese Arbeit gibt einen ?berblick 羹ber die verschiedenen Arten von Krankenversicherungen in Deutschland. Au?erdem erkl瓣rt sie den Unterschied zwischen gesetzlichen und privaten Krankenversicherungen. Jeder B羹rger hat in Deutschland das Recht auf einen sozialen Mindeststandard. Dieser betrifft auch die gesundheitliche Versorgung und Absicherung. F羹r einen Jeden steht ein Mindestma? an Gesundheitsversorgung zur Verf羹gung. Im 禮 4 Abs瓣tze 1 und 2 SGB I wurde dieses Recht noch einmal zus瓣tzlich verankert. In Deutschland gibt es derzeit ein zweigliedriges System im Bereich der Krankenversicherung. Auf der einen Seite die gesetzliche Krankenversicherung und auf der anderen die private. Durch diese Dualit瓣t wird f羹r eine stabile Finanzierung im Bereich der medizinischen Versorgung gesorgt. Die deutsche Gesundheitsversorgung hat zentrale Anforderungen durch die eine ausreichende gesundheitliche Versorgung sichergestellt wird. F羹r die gesamte Bev繹lkerung soll Gesundheit ohne materielle Barrieren zug瓣nglich gemacht werden. Dabei entspricht die Versorgung dem neusten Stand der Medizintechnik und weist im internationalen Vergleich eine gehobene Qualit瓣t auf. Obwohl es Einschr瓣nkungen im Leistungsbereich gibt, erfolgt f羹r Versicherte beider Systeme ein Versorgungssystem, welches gemeinsam finanziert wird. Um diese hohe Qualit瓣t zu sichern werden immer wieder neue Gesundheitsreformgesetze beschlossen.

Stress und Gesundheit. Besteht ein Zusammenhang zwischen Stress und Infektanf瓣lligkeit bei
Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2019 im Fachbereich Gesundheitswissenschaften - Gesundheitspsychologie, Note: 2,1, Deutsche Hochschule f羹r Pr瓣vention und Gesundheitsmanagement GmbH, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Inwiefern hat Stress einen Einfluss auf das menschliche Immunsystem und l瓣sst sich dies gezielt nachweisen? Tr瓣gt Stress tats瓣chlich dazu bei, 繹fter krank zu werden und beg羹nstigt somit eine Anf瓣lligkeit gegen羹ber Erkrankungen? Im Rahmen der Zielsetzung stellt sich die Frage, ob und inwiefern ein Zusammenhang zwischen Stress und Infektanf瓣lligkeit beim Menschen besteht. Es gilt hierbei, durch einen systematischen Review, eine ?bersichtsarbeit zu erstellen. Dargestellt wird hierbei der aktuelle Forschungsstand zum Themengebiet Stress, Gesundheit und Infektanf瓣lligkeit. Im Zuge der Literaturrecherche sollen Aufschl羹sse zu folgenden Forschungsfragen beantwortet werden: Welche Auswirkungen hat Stress auf einzelne Bestandteile des Immunsystems? Haben die Auswirkungen von Stress, auf einzelne Bestandteile des Immunsystems, Einfluss auf die Infektanf瓣lligkeit? Die Zahlen der Krankmeldungen durch psychische Erkrankungen nimmt im Zuge des Wandels der Arbeits- und Lebenswelt immer weiter zu. Hierbei stellt Stress einen wesentlichen Faktor dar, der zur Ausbreitung psychischer Erkrankungen f羹hrt. Doch auch k繹rperliche Ersch繹pfungszust瓣nde und infolgedessen Krankheiten werden durch Stress ausgel繹st. Hierbei scheint Stress eine Wirkung auf das menschliche Immunsystem auszuwirken, welche einige Krankheitsbilder beg羹nstigen k繹nnte. Dabei scheint Stress das Immunsystem nachhaltig zu beeinflussen und die Wirkung des Immunsystems zu vermindern.
Triggering and Increasing Palliative Care Consults in the Emergency Room
Dr. Caroline Tigere's book discusses increasing palliative care consultation in the Emergency Room by educating healthcare providers to identifiying patients who are eligible for early palliative care encounters. Dr. Tigere, a palliative care Nurse Practitioner, has worked tirelessly to increase palliative care consults from the Emergency Room before this project. The number of consultations originiating from the Emergency Room increased after an evidenced-based tool was used to assist the Emergency room providers in identifying appropriate patients. Several palliative care providers have tried to move palliative care upstream to the Emergency Room without success because there is still belief that every patient who comes to the Emergency Room should receive aggressive care. About the AuthorDr. Caroline Tigere is married and blessed with three children. Her career started off as a registered nurse to being a nurse practitioner focusin gmainly in hospice and palliative care. She attained her Doctoral in Nursing Practice and focused on Palliative Care in acute care hospitals. She works for a community hospice as a hospice nurse practitioner, and she also works as a palliative care nurse practitioner in acute care, embracing disclosing terminal diagnoses in palliative care and then getting the opportunity to support the patients through the disease trajectory in hospice. Caroline enjoys spending time with family and travelling. She likes water activities and outdoors and also gardening. She is married with three children, and her husband is also in healthcare and pursuing an advanced degree in theology.

Birth Control
Birth control offers women the opportunity to prevent pregnancy, plan and space their births, or have no births at all. And yet, in the United States, half of all pregnancies remain unintended, and access to birth control is beset by inequities in education, access, and coverage. Research indicates that women are familiar with the range of contraceptive methods available today. But the persistently high rates of unintended pregnancy, combined with common dissatisfaction and discontinuation, suggest that women's contraceptive needs continue to be unmet. Birth Control: What Everyone Needs to Know(R) will offer more than a user's guide to available means of contraception: it will examine how supported family-planning infrastructure impacts society as a whole. Through reviews of policy, scientific literature, and supplemental interviews with women, it will uncover women's concerns and apprehensions about contraception, as well as the ways birth control empowers women and increases access to educational and professional opportunities. It will provide an overview the history of birth control, the risks and benefits of contraception, the role of menstruation, and the future of birth control. The goal of this book is to provide accurate, unbiased scientific information about contraception in the context of women's lived experiences and the realities of how individuals make decisions about birth control.

En la actualidad las infecciones intrahospitalarias representan un problema muy importante de salud. Repercuten en la morbilidad y mortalidad de los pacientes, cuya frecuencia presenta un incremento significativo y que asociado a su severidad. Estancias prolongadas representan una carga econ籀mica para la entidad. Las infecciones intrahospitalarias afectan a los pacientes en cualquier momento del proceso de atenci籀n e incluso aparece despu矇s de que el paciente es dado de alta, sin dejar de lado que estas infecciones pueden ser contra穩das tambi矇n por el personal de salud, siendo un evento adverso que ning繳n hospital puede controlar totalmente. D穩a a d穩a vemos pacientes con estancias hospitalarias prolongadas, discapacidad, resistencia de los microorganismos a los antibi籀ticos, y los costos que no solamente para la entidad sino tambi矇n para los familiares. Registrar, analizar y difundir datos exactos al respecto, es a繳n un reto pues la normativa desactualizada y con par獺metros por estandarizar no facilita su uniformidad, consecuentemente una adecuada vigilancia de las mismas.
Perspektiven und Grenzen der Digitalisierung in der Gesundheitsversicherungswirtschaft
Masterarbeit aus dem Jahr 2019 im Fachbereich Gesundheit - Gesundheitswesen, Note: 1,7, Hochschule Ludwigshafen am Rhein, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Mit dem fast inflation瓣r genutzten Begriff "Digitalisierung" werden oftmals 羹berh繹hte Erwartungen verbunden, welche sowohl die Machbarkeit der Umsetzung als auch regulatorische Spezifika au?er Acht lassen. Ziel der vorliegenden Masterthesis "Perspektiven und Grenzen der Digitalisierung in der Gesundheitswirtschaft" ist es, zu untersuchen, inwieweit durch das Themenfeld Digitalisierung die Krankenversicherungsbranche eine Neuausrichtung erfahren kann. Dieses Ziel wird auf Grundlage einer Literaturrecherche verfolgt, welche den Gegenstandsbereich definiert, neue Trends der Digitalisierung behandelt und konzeptionelle Zug瓣nge aufzeigt. Dabei wird als Reaktion auf ver瓣ndertes Kundenverhalten und ubiquit瓣r verf羹gbare Datenmengen der Wandel zu einem serviceorientierten Gesch瓣ftsmodell betrachtet. Dieses bietet die M繹glichkeit, dem Versichertenstamm weitere Dienstleistungen im Bereich Datenmanagement und Gesundheitsmanagement anzubieten. Die sich daraus ergebenden vielf瓣ltigen Gestaltungsr瓣ume k繹nnen in Produktinnovationen, neuen Ans瓣tzen der Datennutzung- und -羹bertragung sowie Prozessautomatisierungen zum Ausdruck gebracht werden. Neue Digitalisierungstrends lassen sich nicht ohne Beachtung rechtlicher und ethischer Restriktion einf羹hren. Es wird gepr羹ft, welchen Einfluss die neue Datenschutzgrundverordnung, das IT-Sicherheitsgesetz, das Prinzip der Autonomie und das Prinzip der Gerechtigkeit auf die Implementierung digitaler Elemente in das bestehende Gesch瓣ftsmodell haben.
