“…Wie der Vergleich von Studien zeigt, fällt der Unterschied jedoch geringer aus als oft angenommen wird, wenn erstens die längere Lebenserwartung von Frauen, zweitens nicht nur die Hauptpflegepersonen und drittens auch andere Unterstützungsleistungen berücksichtigt werden (Bender 1994;Gerstel und Gallagher 2001;Höpflinger und Hugentobler 2005: 15f. Vielmehr wird von ihnen verlangt, dass sie ihre beruflichen Interessen den Verpflichtungen in der Familie unterordnen (allgemein zu Pflege und Geschlecht Backes et al 2008). Zudem ist der Anteil pflegender Söhne in Folge demografischer Veränderungen gestiegen.…”

“…Second, for our study, the proportion of women living alone after age 70 is about twice as high as that of men (see Figure S1 in Supplementary Material ); again, possibly due to the fact that men have a shorter life expectancy and that women tend to have older partners [ 40 ]. When care is needed, women may therefore need to apply for care more quickly [ 40 ], whereas men in need of care are often initially cared for by their partners [ 41 ]. Since the care needs of these men are covered by their wives, they usually do not apply for care benefits and are therefore included less frequently in the official care statistics [ 40 ].…”

As the population in Europe ages, an increased focus on the health of older adults is necessary. The purpose of the population-based LAB60+ study was to examine the current health and care situation of the population of older adults in Dresden, Germany, and to assess the effect of age, gender, and socioeconomic status (SES) on health outcomes. In the first half of 2021, 2399 out of 6004 randomly sampled residents of Dresden aged 60 years or older answered questions on their chronic conditions, care dependency, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), and well-being, among others. Of the participants, 91.6% were afflicted with at least one chronic condition, and 73.1% had multimorbidities. More than one-tenth (11.3%) of participants were care dependent. Lower levels of HRQoL and well-being were observed compared to a published German reference population, perhaps because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Gender differences were observed for some chronic health conditions, and women had a higher risk for lower HRQoL, well-being, and depressivity compared to men. A low SES was associated with a higher risk of the vast majority of health outcomes. Particularly, socioeconomic factors and gender-related inequalities should be considered for the development of prevention and health-promoting measures during late life.

“…`Physician–relationship building’ appeared less frequent than the two other subcategories of the physician category, while `nursing staff in general’ dominated over the other sub-categories in the nursing staff category. This lack of differentiation with respect to `Nursing staff’ might be caused by the connotations of the German word for nursing care (“Pflege”), which encompasses presumably female attributes such as empathy [35] as one aspect of relationship building. This illustrates the importance of clearly understanding and phrasing the aspects of interest in survey design e.g., the specific aspect of nursing care that patients should be referring to.…”

Routine patient surveys: Patients’ preferences and information gained by healthcare providers

et al. 2019

Background Patient feedback after contact with a hospital is regarded as an important source of information for the improvement of local healthcare services. Routine patient surveys are in widespread use to obtain such feedback. While general principles for the composition of this kind of surveys have been described in the literature, it is unknown which method of contact and topics of feedback are important to patients in postcontact healthcare surveys. Material and methods We invited 2931 consecutive patients who had in- or outpatient contact with the Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology at the University Hospital Basel to an anonymous survey. They were asked whether they were generally in favor of feedback surveys. They also had the opportunity to state their preferred form of contact (text message, app, email, online or letter) and provide up to three topics that they regarded as specifically important in patient surveys. Results A total of 745 patients participated in the survey (25.4%), of these 61.9% expressed the preference to be surveyed, and 69.1% selected `letter’ as one of the preferred forms of contact. Favoring only `letter’ contact increased substantially with age. Overall 54.6% of patients stated at least one topic that they wished to give feedback on. The most frequent topics were related to treatment and rather general aspects regarding staff and overall impression. The wish to include suggestions for improvements was rarely mentioned as specific topic. Conclusions The majority of patients seem to be rather indifferent to the existence and content of patient surveys. They mention a wide range of topics from general to specific ones, but do not express interest in the opportunity to suggest changes. There is a need to effectively engage patients in healthcare planning using new approaches to obtain valuable feedback on patients’ hospital stay and contact experiences. These new approaches should ideally be more informative and cost-effective than the current practice.
