    Area of Science:

    • Geriatrics
    • Health Psychology

    Background:

    • Chronic conditions are common in older adults.
    • Understanding temporal context is crucial for geriatric care.
    • Patient perceptions influence health outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore older adults' future health and treatment expectations.
    • To examine the relationship between current health perceptions and future outlook.
    • To identify predictors of optimism and uncertainty in geriatric patients.

    Main Methods:

    • Survey administered to patients at a geriatric ambulatory clinic.
    • Focus on future health expectations, personal projection, and current health perceptions.
    • Statistical analysis to identify significant associates and predictors.

    Main Results:

    • Current self-rated health and future projection significantly predicted future health and treatment expectations.
    • Few predictors were identified for the timing and duration of treatment benefits.
    • Both optimism and uncertainty were present, but not universally dominant.

    Conclusions:

    • Future perspective is highly relevant for older adults in healthcare settings.
    • Managing patient expectations requires understanding their temporal context.
    • Treatment progression involves complex psychological factors for geriatric patients.
