“…Furthermore, financial insecurity can be related to an older individual's psychological state. In addition, some studies found that demographic characteristics such as ethnicity, gender, age, and education are significantly associated with the subjective well-being of older adults (Curtis, Sales, Sullivan, Grays, & Hedricks, 2005;Fitzpatrick & Tran, 2002;Winzelberg, Williams, Preisser, Zimmerman, & Sloane, 2005). Particularly, Upchurch and Mueller (2005) reported that educational attainment is a key factor that influences the health of older adults.…”

This study explored the role of spiritual experience, forgiveness, and religious support on the general well-being of older adults by interviewing 143 persons 65 years old or older in Kansas. Hierarchical regression results show that higher spiritual experience is significantly associated with lower anxiety, higher positive well-being, and higher vitality of older adults. On the other hand, lack of driving capability and living alone are significantly related to a decrease in the well-being of older adults, but financial support is associated with an increase of well-being. This study suggests that social work practitioners and health care providers need to carefully assess the religious/spiritual issues of older clients. To maximize the strengths of older clients coping with health problems, religious/spiritual intervention that fits the clients' interests needs to be offered with their permission.

Aims and objectives. To explore care satisfaction in relation to place of living, health-related quality of life, functional dependency and health complaints among people 65 years or older, receiving public care and service. The concept public care and service concerns formal care from the municipality, including home help, home nursing care, rehabilitation and a special accommodation. Background. To be able to provide care and service of high quality to older people, knowledge about factors influencing their experience of satisfaction with the care is essential. Design. Cross-sectional, including comparison and correlation. Methods. One-hundred sixty-six people receiving public care and service from the municipality were interviewed regarding demography, functional ability, perceived health complaints and care. Health-related quality of life was measured with SF-12, and self-rated care satisfaction was measured with a questionnaire. Results. Low self-rated care satisfaction was associated with dependency in Instrumental Activities of Daily Living, blindness, faeces incontinence and anxiety, while high self-rated care satisfaction was associated with dependency in Personal Activities of Daily Living. Those at home rated an overall higher care satisfaction and were more satisfied with care continuity and personal relations; they thought that the staff had more time and were more respectful and quiet, than the ratings by those in a special accommodation (equivalent to a nursing home). Conclusions. Care satisfaction and health-related quality of life among older people was more associated with functional impairment and health complaints than to whether care and service was received at home or in a special accommodation. Relevance to clinical practice. An approach using intervention focused on functional ability and health complaints is important for development of improved care satisfaction for older people receiving public care and service.

Eldercare Volunteers and Employees: Predicting Caregiver Experiences from Service Motives and Sense of Community

2007

Volunteers (n = 52) and eldercare employees (n = 160) completed measures of personal motives, sense of community, and satisfaction and stress from assisting the elderly. Caregiver satisfaction was best predicted for volunteers by feelings of reciprocal responsibility to peers. For employees, satisfaction was predicted by strong motives reflecting one's personal values, heightening self-esteem, gaining an understanding of the elderly, and a need to socialize with others. Caregiver stress for volunteers was predicted by motives of low self-esteem, high needs for protection from similar illness, and a desire toward enhancing one's personal career goals. For employees, stress was predicted by low levels of reciprocal responsibility and a desire for protection. Results suggest that eldercare satisfaction and stress are predicted by different variables for volunteer and employees requiring different program development for recruitment and retention. EDITORS' STRATEGIC IMPLICATIONS: The findings have implications for the way elder care administrators prevent worker and volunteer turnover and thus promote client welfare. Measures of personal motivation and community connection may be relevant to other prevention settings as well.
