Understanding Psychosocial Dimensions of Geriatric Patients with Effective and Efficient Approach: Comprehensive and Contributing Factors

Abstract

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.
