Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Death; everybody experiences it. Although human beings have universally pondered their mortality, 21st century Americans have unique challenges when preparing for their own personal dying experiences. Of the 2.6 million Americans who died in 2013, over 1.9 million of these deaths, or 73.3%, were experienced by Americans aged 65 and older (http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data). American senior citizens, referred to as a demographic tidal wave, will be in the unique position to see death approaching, because the majority of them will die of lingering, chronic diseases. The Institute of Medicine (IOM) (2015) concluded that 25% of adult Americans have not considered their end-of-life wishes. For those Americans who have identified end-of-life preferences, few have recorded them in the form of advance health care directives. Given an option, the majority of Americans would prefer to die in their own homes, surrounded by the people, pets and objects they love, but the reality is far from that experience. There is a growing perception that the end-of-life experience for 21st century American senior citizens is incongruent with their end-of-life wishes. The purpose of this grounded theory study was to understand current end-of-life issues for senior citizens, identify the elements that comprise an optimal end-of-life experience, and to construct a theory explaining the optimal end-of-life experience for this demographic. Findings from this study led to the construction of a theory that suggests the hospice industry is in the best position to facilitate an optimal end-of-life experience for senior citizens through training medical professionals on end-of-life issues (including the benefits of palliative and hospice care), providing direct care to those who are dying and offering direct support and training to family caregivers. Every human being will face his or her own dying experience at some time, and potentially be involved in a loved one's dying experience. This research is significant because it ultimately impacts all members of society.

This book was released on 2003-02-01 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The anthrax incidents following the 9/11 terrorist attacks put the spotlight on the nation's public health agencies, placing it under an unprecedented scrutiny that added new dimensions to the complex issues considered in this report. The Future of the Public's Health in the 21st Century reaffirms the vision of Healthy People 2010, and outlines a systems approach to assuring the nation's health in practice, research, and policy. This approach focuses on joining the unique resources and perspectives of diverse sectors and entities and challenges these groups to work in a concerted, strategic way to promote and protect the public's health. Focusing on diverse partnerships as the framework for public health, the book discusses: The need for a shift from an individual to a population-based approach in practice, research, policy, and community engagement. The status of the governmental public health infrastructure and what needs to be improved, including its interface with the health care delivery system. The roles nongovernment actors, such as academia, business, local communities and the media can play in creating a healthy nation. Providing an accessible analysis, this book will be important to public health policy-makers and practitioners, business and community leaders, health advocates, educators and journalists.

This book was released on 2016-11-08 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Family caregiving affects millions of Americans every day, in all walks of life. At least 17.7 million individuals in the United States are caregivers of an older adult with a health or functional limitation. The nation's family caregivers provide the lion's share of long-term care for our older adult population. They are also central to older adults' access to and receipt of health care and community-based social services. Yet the need to recognize and support caregivers is among the least appreciated challenges facing the aging U.S. population. Families Caring for an Aging America examines the prevalence and nature of family caregiving of older adults and the available evidence on the effectiveness of programs, supports, and other interventions designed to support family caregivers. This report also assesses and recommends policies to address the needs of family caregivers and to minimize the barriers that they encounter in trying to meet the needs of older adults.
