The Effect of Mixing Events on the Dynamics of pH1N1 Outbreaks at Small Residential Colleges

Abstract

Objective: The authors examine the dynamics and the impact of all-campus events on pH1N1 spread at Bates College in fall 2009, with comparisons to 3 other campuses. Participants: Students (N = 285) presented or called in to the Bates Health Center with symptoms consistent with influenza-like illness. Methods: Health Center staff at Bates collected data on the outbreak; data from other colleges are from Web sites and journal articles. Data were analyzed using a mathematical model for influenza. Results: Bates held 2 vaccine clinics mid-outbreak. The data are consistent with the hypothesis that the vaccine clinics may have altered routine student interactions, facilitating transmission of pH1N1 among students who otherwise might not have encountered each other. Conclusion: The vaccine clinics, held when vaccine became available, were too late to halt transmission. The disruptions to campus rhythms due to the vaccine clinics may instead have contributed to pH1N1 spread.

Yanks vs. Brits

Field visits to a random sample of 103 retirement homes in Oxfordshire, England, and Washington State reveal 49 statistically significant differences. Findings include: in England, more homes have a resident manager; generally, more of the resi- dents are local people; they are older and more feeble but walk more; facilities and services are more modest and cost less; tenants are not as involved in common activities; however, they have more free- dom. In America, the building usually is newer; it is more secure from outsiders; it costs more to live there; transportation is better; there are more opportunities for social interaction among residents; they have more voluntary associations and power; tenants haven't been in the home as long; and fewer married couples live in it.     

On Home Equity Conversion Mortgages for Elderly Homeowners

Analysis of reverse mortgage plans for elderly homeowners indicates that the compound interest charged by the lenders would capture more than half of the equity of the homeowners. The lenders further ask that the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) insure them against risks of unexpected longevity of the borrowers, creating an inderterminate risk to FHA.

‘IT'S TIME IT ENDED AND YET I HESITATE,I HESITATE TO END IT’: THE EMOTIONAL WORLD OF AN OLD PEOPLE'S HOME

Institutionalized responses to human care have been prone to developing unhelpful practices. Inquiries into malpractice often generate recommendations focusing on improving protocols or procedures, while neglecting the emotional experiences of both clients and staff. In this study, we aimed to address why and how complex and challenging emotions enter into care work. We explored the emotional world of a residential home for older people, using a psychosocial observational approach based on the Tavistock method. We have presented four themes: attacking–defending, living–dying, paralysis–movement and emptiness–fullness, which illustrate the complex existential challenges faced both by residents and staff in such a context. Our observations revealed how a range of defensive processes operated to protect the observer from experiencing painful feelings and emotions. Throughout the observation period an increasingly complex understanding developed of the emotional life of the home. This process was made possible by reflective supervision sessions. Our findings generate implications for the type of support that may be needed by care staff in such environments.     

对美国城市更新运动的总体分析与评价
