“…The results also showed that Stroop performance was significantly correlated to the self-efficacy in falling, which was in agreement with the study by Holford et al [9] and Walson et al [10]. The result of the regression test also indicated that Stroop test performance predicted the anxiety and self-efficacy in the falling of the elderly.…”

Objectives Currently, the life expectancy of the elderly has been rising considerably. The present study investigated the role of strop function in the prediction of anxiety and fall self-efficacy in elderly at the city of Ardabil. Methods & Materials The study design was correlational. The population cohort consisted of all elderly males living in the elderly homes in Ardabil in2017. Among these, a sample of 200 subjects was selected by the available sampling method. The anxiety, fall self-efficacy, and Stroop questionnaires were used for data collection. The data were analyzed by Pearson's correlation and regression analysis. Results A significant relationship was observed between anxiety/fall self-efficacy and Strop function. Stroop's performance could negatively predict anxiety as well as predict the fall self-efficacy in the elderly. Conclusion The performance of Stroop test in the elderly could be improved by training classes and various treatment groups that can indirectly decrease the amount of anxiety and increase the fall self-efficacy in the elderly.

“…Implications garnered from research with women of reproductive age experiencing IPV are relevant here; similarly, it should not be assumed that older women want to or can leave an abusive situation, and services provided should recognize and be sensitive to this. Finally, our findings highlight specific issues for consideration in the case of violence against older women, including changes in type and prevalence of controlling behaviours [36,45,50,51,61,72,77] and forms of financial control that occur alongside IPV [43,53,62,64,78]. These behaviours have the potential to significantly restrict options and limit ability for older women experiencing violence, even more than in younger women.…”

“…Financial control spanned instances of elder abuse, family violence and IPV [43,53,62,64,76,78], and was described as co-occurring with and resulting in other forms of violence. Financial exploitation could result in emotional and/ or physical violence if older women resisted control [62,64].…”

Violence against older women: A systematic review of qualitative literature

2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The majority of the existing evidence-base on violence against women focuses on women of reproductive age (15-49), and globally there is sparse evidence concerning patterns of and types of violence against women aged 50 and older. Improved understanding of differing patterns and dynamics of violence older women experienced is needed to ensure appropriate policy or programmatic responses. To address these gaps in the evidence, we conducted a systematic review of qualitative literature on violence against older women, including any form of violence against women, rather than adopting a specific theoretical framework on what types of violence or perpetrators should be included from the outset, and focusing specifically on qualitative studies, to explore the nature and dynamics of violence against older women from the perspective of women. Following pre-planned searches of 11 electronic databases, two authors screened all identified titles, abstracts and relevant full texts for inclusion in the review. We extracted data from 52 manuscripts identified for inclusion, and conducted quality assessment and thematic synthesis from the key findings of the included studies. Results indicated that the vast majority of included studies were conducted in high-income contexts, and did not contain adequate information on study setting and context. Thematic synthesis identified several central themes, including the intersection between ageing and perceptions of, experiences of and response to violence; the centrality of social and gender norms in shaping older women's experiences of violence; the cumulative physical and mental health impact of exposure to lifelong violence, and that specific barriers exist for older women accessing community supports and health services to address violence victimization. Our findings indicated that violence against older women is prevalent and has significant impacts on physical and mental well-being of older women. Implications for policy and programmatic response, as well as future research directions, are highlighted.

“…Older adult is an inevitable biological process that affects all living things and is associated with unpleasant experiences in some cases [1]. The aging process refers to the gradual decline in the function of the body's systems, including cardiovascular, respiratory, genitourinary, endocrine glands, and immune system [2].…”

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background: Depression is one of the most common psychiatric disorders in the older adult and one of the most common risk factors for suicide in the older adult. Studies show different and inconsistent prevalence rates in Iran. This study aims to determine the prevalence of severe depression in Iranian older adult through a meta-analysis approach. Methods: The present meta-analysis was conducted between January 2000-August 2019. Articles related to the subject matter were obtained by searching Scopus, Sciencedirect, SID, magiran, Barakat Knowledge Network System, Medline (PubMed), and Google Scholar databases. The heterogeneity of the studies was evaluated using I 2 index and the data were analyzed in Comprehensive Meta-Analysis software. Results: In a study of 3948 individuals aged 50-90 years, the overall prevalence of severe depression in Iranian older adult was 8.2% (95% CI, 4.14-6.3%) based on meta-analysis. Also, in order to investigate the effects of potential factors (sample size and year of study) on the heterogeneity of severe depression in Iranian older adult, meta-regression was used. It was reported that the prevalence of severe depression in Iranian older adult decreased with increasing sample size and increasing years of the study, which is significantly different (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Considering the high prevalence of severe depression in Iranian older adult, it is necessary for health policy makers to take effective control measures and periodic care for the older adult.
