Emerging Adulthood01:27

Emerging Adulthood

577
Jeffrey Arnett's concept of emerging adulthood offers a framework to understand the unique developmental stage between adolescence and full-fledged adulthood, generally from ages 18 to 25. This period is marked by extensive exploration and shifts in identity, relationships, and career choices, a process known in psychology as role experimentation. Emerging adulthood reflects the evolving cultural expectations surrounding adulthood and the dynamic process of personal transformation during...

Aging

568
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...

Community Based Intervention01:30

Community Based Intervention

260
Community-based interventions in mental health represent a paradigm shift from institution-centered care to treatments embedded within the fabric of local communities. By prioritizing inclusion and leveraging existing societal structures, this approach fosters a supportive environment conducive to addressing mental health challenges while promoting individual dignity and agency.
Foundations of Community Mental Health Programs
Central to the success of community-based interventions is the...

Cognitive Development During Adulthood01:30

Cognitive Development During Adulthood

749
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,...

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,...

The Effect of Aging on Tissues01:19

The Effect of Aging on Tissues

3.1K
Several body functions deteriorate with age. The external signs of aging are easily identifiable. For example, the skin becomes dry, less elastic, and thins out, forming wrinkles. The skin of the face begins to appear looser due to a decrease in the levels of elastic and collagen fibers in the connective tissue. Additionally, melanin production in the hair follicle decreases with age, resulting in gray hair. Moreover, the senses of sight and hearing decline, so glasses and hearing aids may...

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Community Health
  • Urban Planning

Background:

  • Growing ageing population and urbanisation drive global momentum for age-friendly community (AFC) initiatives.
  • Existing AFC research often overlooks community members' perspectives, especially in regional areas.
  • Environmental and geographical gerontology frameworks guide the understanding of individual-environment interactions in place.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore how middle-aged and older adults in regional Australia conceptualise age-friendliness.
  • To identify the needs and priorities of older residents for developing effective AFCs.
  • To develop a community-informed framework for understanding and evaluating AFCs.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative study employing semi-structured interviews with 30 participants (≥45 years) in the Illawarra region, NSW, Australia.
  • Thematic analysis of transcribed interview data.
  • Development of the FACE framework based on participant perspectives.

Main Results:

  • The FACE framework emerged, comprising four dimensions: Facilitators (drivers of AFC development), Ambitions (older adults' aspirations), Conditions (intrinsic/extrinsic factors influencing ambitions), and Engagement (participation in community life).
  • Facilitators include government, NGOs, and individuals.
  • Ambitions focus on independence, lifestyle continuity, and security; Conditions encompass health, mobility, housing, transport, and infrastructure; Engagement depends on service availability, accessibility, affordability, and acceptability.

Conclusions:

  • The FACE framework provides a structured, community-informed, and theoretically grounded approach for developing and evaluating AFCs, particularly in regional settings.
  • It emphasizes centering the lived experiences of older residents for a more comprehensive and place-sensitive understanding of age-friendliness.
  • The framework has potential adaptability to diverse communities nationally and internationally.
