Initiating Senior Co-Housing: People,Place, andLong-Term Security

Abstract

An increasing proportion of older people are unable to afford rental or purchase of age-appropriate residential accommodation in Australia. This article reports on a community-initiated research project investigating feasibility of affordable co-housing for older residents wishing to age in their community. Factors enabling successful co-housing for seniors were investigated through a systematic literature review. The multiphase participatory research approach drew on the knowledge of local seniors, community support workers, and planning and design professionals through workshops and interviews in a regional community in southeast Queensland. The findings demonstrate interest in and barriers to senior co-housing. The research engagement approach enables tailored solutions for individual long-term security, relevant to small communities in Australia.     

Boomer Matters: Responding to Emotional Health Needs in an Aging Society

This study explores baby boomer-aged adults’ experiences accessing an emotional health program (EHP) in a community-based seniors’ center, examining differences between it and an older cohort of users. Data generation includes client-based surveys (n=118), in-depth qualitative interviews (n=20) with client users and professionally-trained counselors (n=2), and a focus group with peer support service worker (n=14). Key findings suggest EHPs as a preventative strategy to address familial abuse, the need for education and support on sexual health and dating, and the need to combat ageism to improve access. Community-based seniors’ centers as a cost-effective approach to health promotion is also highlighted.

体育运动对老年人骨矿物质含量影响的研究

通过对老年人体育活动者与非体育活动者进行活体骨矿物质含量的测试。结果发现，老年人活体骨矿物质含量存在明显的性别差异；骨矿含量随着年龄增加而逐年降低。在体育运动对骨矿含量影响的调查中发现，有体育运动组骨矿含量和骨密度显著高于普通老年组；纵向追综结果表明，尽管受试者骨矿含量均有不同程度的下降，但是体育运动组下降幅度低于普通组。这充分说明坚持长期的体育运动（如长跑）对保持老年人活体骨矿物质含量和延缓骨质丢失现象的出现都有着积极的作用。     

江苏省机构养老床位总量不足和供需结构失衡问题分析

经过社会调查和综合比较发现,江苏省在社会化养老服务方面存在机构养老床位总量不足和严重的供需结构失衡问题。政府养老服务投入不足和投入方式不合理;养老服务产业对民间资本缺乏吸引力以及现有养老机构服务质量偏低;老年人消费能力低和受传统家庭养老观念影响成为制约江苏老龄服务产业健康发展的三大因素。建议消除认识误区、排除制度性障碍、纠正服务定位偏差,加快老龄服务产业的发展。     

城市老年人口异地出游限制分析--基于成都市的实证研究

本文以成都市为研究对象,通过问卷调查对城市老年人异地出游的限制进行了分析研究。结果表明年龄、健康状况和收入水平是影响老年人异地出游的主要限制性因素,而在影响老年人异地出游时间长短的因素中,除了年龄、健康和收入,是否与子女共同居住也产生了重要影响;另外,老年人对出游限制的主观感知与客观出游状况不尽一致,影响异地出游的主要感知限制因素包括旅游兴趣和健康状况,而影响出游时间长短的感知限制则包括旅游兴趣、健康状况、出游价格和身体承受能力。     

Conflit de générations ou conflit d'organisation ? Un train peut en cacher un autre…

In a railway marshaling yard, relations between the two principal age-groups (employees in their fifties and young, recent hires) are very tense. Various persons set this down to an obvious generation clash. By observing on-the-job situations, we come to see how these tensions tie in with a reorganization of work that occurred when the yong people were hired. Members of these two groups interpret differently the organization of work and the rationale for cooperation between job stations. The explanation in terms of a “generation clash” overlooks the actual issues in an organizational conflict having to do with changes during the recent reorganization. It thus keeps us from noticing the threats against the personnel's statuses and the social and symbolic hierarchies underlying them.     

Who Plays Bingo in Later Life? The Sedentary Lifestyles of ‘Little Old Ladies’

Abstract Bingo is a popular past time with less than 20% of seniors, but the prevailing stereotype of bingo players describes elderly women with nothing better to do, smoking heavily while gambling away their limited income day after day. Little research has actually explored the lifestyles of seniors who frequent the bingo halls or identified social factors explaining who plays and why. Purpose The purpose of this study was to clarify the social context and lifestyle characteristics of seniors who regularly invest money on bingo. Design and Methods A 30-min telephone survey was conducted randomly with quotas for gender and urban/rural location with 400 Albertans aged 65+. Next, a strategic sample of 44 bingo players was added to the population sample to strengthen the dependent variable for regression analyses. Multiple regression analyses were used to define key characteristics of bingo players among 10 social or contextual factors and 5 lifestyle variables. Results Being female, more elderly, living in rental accommodation, receiving federal income supplements and reporting more health problems were significant predictors of more money typically spent on bingo (18% variance explained), and these findings lend support to the “little old lady” stereotype. However, sedentary living, rather than smoking, was the only significant and predictive lifestyle pattern, suggesting that the lifestyle vices projected about bingo players are not entirely accurate. Conclusions Elderly women of marginal means do dominate the game of bingo in terms of money spent, but their gaming lifestyle apparently has less to do with habits of smoking, eating poorly, drinking alcohol, or having excessive leisure time, and more to do with sedentary recreation that is socially delimited by their gender, age, income and health.     

对中国传统孝文化的辩证思考

中国传统＂孝文化＂的内涵从最初的孝亲意识逐渐演化为社会伦理和政治伦理乃至化为国家的治国方略,在历史上曾发挥过塑造封建社会理想人格、维护家庭和社会的稳定、丰富中华传统文化等积极作用,但同时也存在着移孝为忠、崇尚老年本位、维护封建统治等一些非理性、非人性的因素。当前,要构建适应现代社会需要的新孝道,就必须采用辩证的态度对孝文化进行分析,使孝道回归家庭伦理范围,并且与时俱进地赋予孝文化新的时代内涵。
