This book was released on 2019-01-14 with total page 543 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second edition of this landmark textbook is distinguished by its pioneering approach to encompassing disability and aging policies under one umbrella, in response to the newly developed Administration on Aging and Disability. It addresses policy changes impacting health and disability services resulting from the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and other new legislation, and offers a pioneering approach to transforming policy into practice applications. New to the second edition is current census data and new legislative mandates from the ACA and other policy organizations impacting aging adults and/or disabled populations. Also included is new coverage on Social Media, Motivational Interviewing, Health Literacy, Underrepresented Groups, LGBT, and Rural Communities. Podcasts, available as downloads, present the messages of advocates, lobbyists, policy experts, and consumers who address various aspects of relevant policies and policy development. Unlike other texts, the book focuses on triangulating skills, policies, and programs for graduate students in social work, public health, gerontology, and rehabilitation. It aims thus to enhance understanding of policy development through a critical analysis and review of policy framework, and promotes development of skills in shaping programs and implementing policy. The text lays out tools that facilitate policy and program development to include the media, coalition building, the use of an evidence base, and how each mandated policy addresses these programs and services. Chapters include learning objectives, case studies, review/discussion questions, and resources for additional information. An Instructors Manual, Test Bank, and PowerPoint slides facilitate the teaching process.

Download or read book Disability and Aging written by Jeffrey Steven Kahana and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the lived experience of previously healthy older adults as they face disability in late life, and how is disability assimilated in their identity? How do prevailing practices facilitate¿or limit¿options for elders living with new disabilities? To address these questions, Jeffrey Kahana and Eva Kahana uniquely synthesize disability and gerontological perspectives to explore both the unfolding challenges of aging and the practices and policies that can enhance the lives of older adults. Jeffrey S. Kahana is associate professor of history and codirector of the Center on Aging and Policy at Mount Saint Marry College. Eva Kahana is Distinguished University Professor and Pierce T. and Elizabeth D. Robson Professor of the Humanities at Case Western Reserve University, where she also is director of the Elderly Care Research Center.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over 70% of adults will, at some time in their lives, lack decisional capacity and need another person to make health-related decisions on their behalf (Silviera, Kim & Langa, 2010). As advancing age increases the increasing risk of incapacity due to a sudden neurological event (e.g., stroke) or a progressive dementia (e.g., Alzheimer’s Disease), one would further presume that older adults would be even more motivated toward discussion of preferences for future healthcare and medical treatment, designation of a person to serve as a future surrogate health care decision-maker, and documentation of preferences for future healthcare and medical treatment). But, one-quarter of all adults will not have completed any of these advance care planning behaviors prior to death (Bischoff, Sudore, Miou, Boscardin & Smith, 2013). This study applied the Motivational Model of Aging and Decision-Making Competence (Strough, Parker & Bruine de Bruin,2015) to examine the potential influence of stable attributes of older adults, deliberative motivation, deliberative cognition, and cognitive bias in advance care planning for future decisional incapacity among a sample of 266 older adult participants of the 2012 cohort of the Health and Retirement Study. Overall, using the selected measures, the model did not predict advance care planning behavior in this sample. Analyses of the individual components of the process did indicate a number of meaningful relationships that warrant future research.

Download or read book Aging with a Disability written by Bryan J. Kemp and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2004-06-15 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With advances in medical care, technology, and rehabilitation, people with disabilities are now living longer. Many, in fact, have near-average life expectancies. Research has shown, however, that the changes and problems associated with aging often occur 10–20 years earlier in the lives of people with disabilities than in the lives of people without disabilities. These changes pose significant challenges for health care professionals. Because research in this field is relatively recent, few practitioners and students are aware of these findings. Aging with a Disability provides clinicians with a complete guide to the care and treatment of persons aging with a disability. Divided into five parts, this book first addresses the perspective of the person with a disability and his or her family. Chapters in the second section address the physiological and functional changes people will face as they grow older, and how these changes may affect quality of life and caregiver requirements. In the third part, contributors discuss treatment considerations such as maintaining employment and managing pain and fatigue. The book's fourth section focuses on specific conditions: spinal cord injury, polio, cerebral palsy, and developmental disabilities such as mental retardation. In the concluding section, the authors present research needs and discuss policy issues for future consideration. Paying special attention to the feelings, attitudes, and needs of people with disabilities—three chapters are written by authors who have a disability—Aging with a Disability gives students and clinicians a reliable and compassionate handbook for the treatment of this growing population.
