Aim: Background research looked at the demographics of senior patients with psychosocial difficulties around the world, as well as the impact of medical and psychiatric social workers on the old patients' recovery. Never before has the world's population been as mature as it is now. The research tool was ‘health status,' and psychological and social wellness were utilized to examine psychological difficulties connected with the gender of senior geriatric patients, as well as social problems. Increased mortality, prolonged length of stay, high rates of readmission, placement in a skilled care facility, delirium, and functional deterioration are all possible outcomes for the hospitalized senior. Individual patients and families, as well as the healthcare system as a whole, are affected by these outcomes in medical, emotional, and economic ways. Conclusion: Care for the aged must be approached in a specific psychological and functional context, in addition to disease-based management. In the case of approaching an elderly patient, a thorough geriatric assessment is essential.

Women and the elderly are more prone to depression.…”

Background: The epidemic situation in the world in 2020 and 2021 raises many questions about people’s health. It is particularly important to identify the health of the population at high risk, including elderly individuals, especially retired people. We aim to identify how pension adequacy is related to the subjective health assessment of pensioners in Poland. Methods: The study uses data from the SHARE 50+ study in Europe, and, more specifically, from the SHARELIFE questionnaire results. The considered sample of 533 Polish pensioners was divided into persons receiving adequate and inadequate pension benefits. The study was conducted using the method of decision trees constructed according to the CART algorithm. Results: People with adequate benefits are healthy and rarely visit a doctor. If they are suffering from depression, they have frequent medical appointments. In the inadequate pensioners’ group, good self-rated health is declared only by people who visit the doctor no more than twice a year. Conclusions: Self-rated health is independent of the adequacy of pension benefits. Both women and men similarly rate their health. The decisive factor in the context of self-rated health is the intensity of physical and mental disease symptoms, the age of pensioners, and the availability of medical services.
