Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients

Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients

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...

Pharmacodynamics in Geriatric Patients: Effects of Age

Pharmacodynamics in Geriatric Patients: Effects of Age

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...

Cognitive Development During Adulthood

Cognitive Development During Adulthood

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,...

Erikson's Theory on Socioemotional Development during Adulthood

Erik Erikson's theory of psychosocial development outlines a series of stages through which individuals progress across the lifespan. Each stage involves a psychosocial conflict that significantly influences personal growth and well-being. Three key stages — intimacy versus isolation, generativity versus stagnation, and integrity versus despair — highlight the developmental challenges faced in adulthood.
Intimacy Versus Isolation in Early Adulthood
Individuals in early adulthood, from the 20s...

Aging

Aging

Aging is a complex biological phenomenon influenced by various processes that affect cellular and systemic functions. Several prominent theories attempt to explain its mechanisms, highlighting cellular limitations, oxidative damage, and hormonal changes as central factors in aging.
Cellular Clock Theory
The cellular clock theory posits that the human lifespan is closely tied to the finite capacity of cells to divide, a phenomenon governed by telomeres, which are protective caps at the ends of...

Background:

Resilience is a potential protective factor for older adults facing adversity.
Clarifying resilience in older populations is critical for effective nursing care.
Existing research requires further conceptual development for this demographic.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop the concept of resilience in older people.
To identify elements relevant to nursing outcomes, specifically Personal Resilience (NOC 1309).
To enhance understanding for nursing interventions in older adults.

Main Methods:

Concept analysis utilizing Beth Rodgers' evolutionary model.
Integrative review of literature across multiple databases (PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO, LILACS, Embase).
Analysis of 110 studies from an initial 2431 citations.

Main Results:

The concept of resilience in older people comprises two core attributes: available resources and positive behaviors.
Resilience is defined as positive attitudes adopted by older adults, supported by accessible resources.
This conceptualization aids in understanding how older adults navigate adversity.

Conclusions:

The developed concept of resilience in older adults offers sensitive indicators for nursing care.
Nursing care should consider available resources and positive attitudes in older individuals facing adversity.
This framework supports enhancing the well-being of older adults throughout their lifespan.
