Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients01:15

Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients

217
Elderly individuals encompass a diverse population with varying degrees of age-related physiological changes. Defining the elderly presents challenges, as the geriatric population is often arbitrarily categorized as individuals older than 65. However, many individuals in this group lead active and healthy lives, with an increasing number surpassing 85 years and falling into the older elderly category. Physiological changes associated with aging impact performance capacity and homeostatic...

Pharmacokinetics in Geriatric Patients: Effect of Age on Drug Absorption

218
As individuals age, their body's physiology evolves, affecting drug pharmacokinetics. The most apparent changes occur in the gastrointestinal tract, where an increase in gastric pH, a delay in gastric emptying, and a reduction in gastrointestinal motility are observed. Remarkably, these changes do not substantially modify the absorption of orally administered drugs, particularly those absorbed via passive diffusion.Transdermal drug delivery emerges as a highly viable method for older adults due...

Pharmacodynamics in Geriatric Patients: Effects of Age

182
Age-related pharmacokinetic changes are extensively documented, but understanding age-related pharmacodynamic alterations is relatively limited. This knowledge gap can be partly attributed to the complexity of developing appropriate measures of drug responses compared to bioanalytical methods for determining drug concentrations.Most information regarding age-related differences in human pharmacodynamics originates from cross-sectional studies. However, these studies assume that observed mean...

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination02:55

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

94.9K
Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974). These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different. Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010). Prejudice is common against people who...

Factors Affecting Perception01:25

Factors Affecting Perception

2.6K
Perception is influenced by perceptual set, context, motivation, and emotion. Perceptual set, or perceptual expectancy, refers to the tendency to perceive things in a particular way, influenced by previous experiences and expectations. This phenomenon affects the interpretation of stimuli, creating a set of mental tendencies and assumptions that impact sensory perceptions of sound, taste, touch, and sight.
An illustrative example of a perceptual set is the scenario where an airline pilot told...

Cognitive Development During Adulthood01:30

Cognitive Development During Adulthood

766
Cognitive development continues throughout adulthood, undergoing significant shifts across early, middle, and late stages. Individual transition occurs from adolescent idealism to pragmatic and adaptable thinking in early adulthood. During this period, individuals learn to integrate personal beliefs with the recognition that other perspectives are equally valid. Exposure to the complexities of modern society, diverse experiences, and higher education contribute to this adaptive thought process,...

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Transportation Safety
  • Human Factors

Background:

  • Aging population necessitates understanding older driver capabilities.
  • Maintaining driving independence is crucial for older adults' quality of life.
  • Assessing driving performance in older adults requires validated tools.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between electronic Driver Observation Schedule (eDOS) performance and driver characteristics in older adults.
  • To examine how functional abilities, perceived driving comfort, and self-reported restrictions correlate with eDOS performance.
  • To identify factors influencing driving task performance among experienced older drivers.

Main Methods:

  • A cohort of 227 older drivers (mean age 81.53 years) participated.
  • Functional abilities, driving comfort, and restrictions were assessed using standardized scales.
  • Driving behaviors were observed during an electronic Driver Observation Schedule (eDOS) task, focusing on maneuvers like intersection negotiation and lane-changing.

Main Results:

  • eDOS driving task scores were generally high (M = 94.74).
  • Performance on the eDOS task significantly correlated with perceived driving abilities.
  • eDOS scores were also related to the frequency of driving in challenging situations and the number of driving restrictions.

Conclusions:

  • The electronic Driver Observation Schedule (eDOS) effectively measures driving performance in older adults.
  • Perceived driving abilities and self-reported driving restrictions are key correlates of on-road driving performance.
  • Findings support the use of eDOS for assessing older driver safety and informing interventions.
