“…As such, our findings reinforce that the wide arrange of pandemic experiences is reflective of the vast diversity of needs and capabilities among the older population (36). Moreover, in line with previous scholarship, findings suggest that a good person-environment fit, understood as a high degree of compatibility between individual's needs and their opportunities to access suitable material, social and affective resources (37), may facilitate the timely development of adaptive strategies and successful coping mechanisms during a public health crisis. In contrast, poor person-fit environment and the unequal distribution of health enabling resources has the potential to stimulate or exacerbate poor health trajectories (4).…”

BackgroundEvidence indicates that older people with biological and social vulnerabilities are at high risk of short- and long-term consequences related to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, studies have also highlighted that the crisis may present opportunities for personal growth if older individuals are met with appropriate resources and support.ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to explore the perceptions of older people regarding how individual, social, and environmental factors have supported or hindered their well-being and health during COVID-19.MethodsWe analyzed data collected between April–May and October–November 2021 from the Well-being, Interventions and Support during Epidemics (WISE) study, a qualitative investigation of community-dwellers based in Ireland and aged 65 years or over. Participants (n = 57) completed written submissions, narrative interviews and/or go-along interviews detailing their experiences during the pandemic. Framework analysis was carried out in NVivo 12 to identify determinants, linkages, and explanations within Bronfenbrenner’s socio-ecological model.ResultsThe mean age of participants was 74.9 years, 53% were female, 45% lived alone, and 86% lived in areas with high urban influence. Our findings highlight the heterogeneous effect of COVID-19 across diverse older individuals who held distinct concerns, capabilities, and roles in society before and during the pandemic. Multi-scalar contextual characteristics such as individual’s living arrangements, neighborhood social and built environments, as well as social expectations about aging and help seeking, had an influential role in participants’ well-being and available supports. We identified mixed views regarding public health restrictions, but a consensus emerged questioning the suitability of one-size-fits-all approaches based on chronological age.ConclusionsOur results suggest that some negative pandemic consequences could have been avoided by increasing collaboration with older people and with the provision of clearer communications. The interdependencies identified between individual characteristics and socio-ecological factors that influenced participants’ availability of supports and development of adaptive strategies represent areas of opportunity for the development of age-friendly interventions during and beyond public health crises.

“…Normal şartlarda yaşlılık döneminde aile bireyleri, akraba gibi yakın bireylerin oluşturduğu sosyal çevre ile sağlıklı bir etkileşimin olması, bireyin yaşam kalitesini yükseltmesi ve toplum ile bağını devam ettirmesi bakımından önem arz etmektedir 6,18 . Ancak pandemiden korunmada en önemli yöntem olan tüm dünyada önemle belirtilen sosyal mesafe kuralının uygulanması, ülkemizde 65 yaş ve üstü bireyleri kapsayan sokağa çıkma yasağı ve ulaşım kısıtlamaları sonucu bireylerin herhangi bir sosyal aktiviteyle uğraşma ya da ziyaretçi kabul etme imkanı kalmamıştır 6,21 . Pek çok yaşlı birey teknoloji hakkında bilgi sahibi olmayabilir ve yakınları ile dijital temasa geçememeye bağlı duygusal mesafelerinde artış yaşayabilir.…”

The coronavirus disease which has become a global health threat, has affected many countries in a short time and it turned into a pandemic. Although it affects all age groups it is known that the diseasecauses more mortality and morbidity in the elderly. Elderly individuals faced many problems in this process. These problems include social isolation, economic burden, and difficulties in meeting basic needs. Elderly individuals experienced difficulties not only physically but also psychologically and economically in this process. World Health Organization has planned different training programs to maintain the psycho-social and physical well-being of the elderly. The most effective application in preventing the disease and protecting the elderly individuals is seen as isolation. The first population isolated from social environments in our country to prevent the transmission of infection was elderly. Elderly individuals are isolated in their place of residence. Government measures have been taken in the world and our country to control the pandemic, and some health services have been provided in this process. In this review, attention was drawn to the problems faced by elderly individuals during the pandemic process and the health services provided.

“…We may consider these responses as strategies implemented in immediate or urgent contexts, not only in terms of health emergencies but also as social crisis. The worsening of these conditions required a reorganization of social/geriatric support in order to safeguard the well-being of this population in institutional and non-institutional situations (aging-in-place) [4][5][6]. Especially in this last context, several theoretical contributions claim that this transformative process occurred in two directions: in terms of forms of governance and in terms of forms of participation [7,8].…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the entire world population at multiple levels. Within the most vulnerable population, the elderly have seen their usual fragilities worsened in an epidemiological context. Thus, it was necessary to reinforce the gerontological response to aging at home, or in place, framed in situations of comorbidities, health problems, economic need and isolation, among other situations of premeditated situations of aging fragility. Objective: Seeking to explain a model of gerontological response to aging-in-place in future pandemic situations. For that purpose, we have explored, through a scientific literature review, the relationship between public participation and the gerontological response to aging-in-place during COVID-19, considering the four main European welfare models. During this analysis we also intended to identify the reconfigurations from those responses, considering their place-based/neutral order. Methodology: To proceed in this analysis, we used a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) to identify a series of articles that add value to this problem. Next, in order to identify current research trends, we undertook a Bibliometric Analysis (BA), using the metadata from the same set of articles collected from Scopus and Web of Science. Results: The literature on the subject is interdisciplinary, dispersed throughout areas such as health; social sciences; politics; and computational, molecular, and even environmental fields of study. Through the use of keywords, the literature found on the relationship between the type of gerontological responses to aging-in-place and providence systems is still insufficient. There are, however, other research possibilities, such as exploring indicators of gerontological responses, of public expenditure or of the type of support from interlocutor stakeholders through a comparative study between countries, which allowed us to robustly answer the central question: Is there any relationship between the different public welfare systems and the public participation model, which included community participation, in the gerontological response to aging-in-place during the COVID-19 pandemic?
