A new perspective on threatened autonomy in elderly persons: The disempowering process

Older Stroke Patients’ Negotiations Within the Hierarchic Medical Context

“…There is evidence from England (Lookinland & Anson, 1995) and the United States (Becker, 1994;Thorne, 1993) that a considerable proportion of medical professionals hold pessimistic views concerning older people. In a Canadian study, the authors concluded that the more paternalistic and biomedically oriented the health care staff is, the greater is the patients' perception of being misunderstood (McWilliam, Brown, Carmichael, & Lehman, 1994). It can be hypothesized that the health care staff in the specific ward we studied held negative attitudes toward the elderly women and men and that these attitudes intensified the participants' experience of subordination.…”

Stakeholder involvement in care transition planning for older adults and the factors guiding their decision-making: a scoping review

“…This led to the expectation among participants that older adults’ engagement in decision-making would decline over time.

“…Health professionals in two studies specifically noted difficulty incorporating family preferences into transition decisions 43 59. Finally, two records described how older adults’ mindsets and attitudes influenced transition planning, suggesting that more positive mindsets led to greater autonomy in decision-making and subsequent care 51 60…”

Patients, persons or partners? Involving those with chronic disease in their care

“…Health as a resource for everyday living can and does co-exist with chronic disease. 21 All individuals, including those with chronic disease, both subjectively experience health 116 and inherently have agency in coconstructing their health. 111 Managing health defined in this way requires a significant re-writing of the roles of practitioners and patients/clients.…”
