Continuing Care01:25

Continuing Care

1.8K
Continuing care describes the variety of health, personal, and social services provided over a prolonged period. The need for continuing care is increasing because people are living longer. Many people do not have families or others to care for them. Continuing care is mainly for patients who are disabled, functionally dependent, or suffering from a terminal disease. It is available within institutional settings or in homes. Examples include nursing centers or facilities, assisted living,...

Aging01:26

Aging

577
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...

Restorative Care01:19

Restorative Care

2.3K
Restorative care is provided once a patient has been discharged from a healthcare facility and requires additional services. The additional services include home care, rehabilitation programs, and extended care. Restorative care centers help the patient regain their previous level of functioning or acquire a new level of functioning due to the incapacitating effects of a disease or a disability. It aims to assist patients in enhancing their quality of life by encouraging independence,...

Current Trends in Nursing II

3.3K
Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Nursing Science
  • Technology Adoption

Background:

  • Globally, the population aged 65 and over is increasing, driving demand for aging-in-place solutions.
  • Gerontechnology aims to support older adults wishing to remain independent in their homes.
  • Despite the need, significant challenges hinder technology adoption among older adults.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce the Global Gerontechnology Center for Nursing Science.
  • To outline the Center's mission, vision, values, and action plan.
  • To foster international collaboration among nurse scientists, practitioners, and interdisciplinary partners in gerontechnology.

Main Methods:

  • Establishment of a new international organization: the Global Gerontechnology Center for Nursing Science.
  • Development of a mission, vision, values, and action plan for the Center.
  • Invitation for collaboration from nurse scientists, practitioners, and interdisciplinary partners.

Main Results:

  • The formation of a dedicated global center for gerontechnology nursing science.
  • A clear framework (mission, vision, values, action plan) for the Center's operations.
  • An open call for international collaboration to accelerate gerontechnology innovation.

Conclusions:

  • Gerontology nurse scientists and practitioners are crucial for addressing aging-in-place challenges.
  • A formal international organization is needed for nurses in gerontechnology to share knowledge and keep pace with innovation.
