PERCEPTION OF SENIOR CENTERS BY THE BLACK ELDERLY

This study explored the impact of the neighborhood senior center on the black elderly by determining their perception of senior centers. Three groups of black elderly were interviewed: attenders of a neighborhood senior center (n = 46), non-attenders in the same community (n = 33), and non-attenders in a comparable community without a neighborhood senior center (n = 27). A 29-item interview schedule was conducted that determined awareness of senior center activities and services. Significant differences were found among the three groups with the attenders and non-attenders in the same community having the highest level of awareness of senior center activities and services. Age, sex and marital status were not found to influence perception of senior centers. The findings suggest that the neighborhood senior center needs to be further examined as a model for serving minority elderly.     

Staff-Family Relations and Institutional Care Policies

As institutional care providers increasingly recognize the importance of the family, the quality of staff-family relations has become a concern. This study investigated the relationship between selected facility care policies and staff-family relationships. Data secured from staff members and family members in rural nursing homes revealed a relationship between the family role that the care policy prescribed and the degree of staff-family integration. The study concluded that care policies viewing family members as clients will have positive consequences for staff and families and ultimately the residents.

改革开放以来成人教育政策的价值变迁

文章以改革开放以来成人教育政策文本为依据，分析了成人教育政策在不同发展阶段的价值选择。从恢复调整时期的以拨乱反正的政治诉求为核心的政策价值观，到改革发展时期的服务经济建设的产业主义价值观，进一步演进到深化提升时期的以建设学习型社会、促进人的全面发展为目标的现代成人教育政策价值观。尽管不同阶段的价值追求有曲折也有反复，但总体上凸显出与时俱进的特点。随着成人教育权力的分化、利益结构的形成，维护人的全面和谐发展的价值显得异常重要。     

Elderly Parents’ Need for Help and Adult Children's Moving Decisions

Recent changes in Finnish welfare policies have increased the need for family involvement in eldercare. This article uses qualitative interviews to study working adult daughters’ reasons for moving in with their parent(s). Coresidence was linked to the parents’ need for support, but also to the daughters’ life situations, family histories, the availability of welfare services, and cultural norms and values. The interviewees used the “familist” and “independent life” discourses in their speech. The familist discourse was used to argue for coresidence as a natural continuation of family traditions and life history, whereas the independent life discourse was used to legitimize the need for alternative care options and having a home of their own.
