Continuing Care

Continuing Care

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 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,...

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:

Global population aging necessitates community-based interventions for healthy aging.
Older adults require accessible programs promoting well-being and social connection.
Art programs offer a unique avenue for engaging older adults in meaningful activities.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and refine a community-based art program for older adults in northern Taiwan.
To assess the program's feasibility, acceptability, and appropriateness for the target population.
To explore the program's impact on participants' cognitive engagement and psychosocial well-being.

Main Methods:

A Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR)-informed action research design was employed.
A qualitatively driven, multi-method approach guided program development and refinement.
The program underwent iterative revisions across two 8-week cycles in community centers, involving participant feedback.

Main Results:

The community-based art program demonstrated feasibility, acceptability, and contextual fit.
Findings indicated the program was age-appropriate for older adults in northern Taiwan.
Qualitative data revealed perceived benefits in cognitive engagement and psychosocial support among participants.

Conclusions:

Community-based art programs are a viable and effective strategy for supporting healthy aging.
Iterative refinement through CBPR enhances program suitability and impact for older adults.
The developed art program shows promise for promoting cognitive and psychosocial well-being in aging populations.
