“…Six activities are defined by the Veteran Review Board [11]. Results in [12] suggest that the ADLs performed by elderly and the general population are similarly affected by need, enabling, and predisposing factors. From caregivers' perceptions, Roberto [1] presented assistances needed in personal and instrumental ADLs.…”

Abstract. Pervasive Service Computing for Elderly applies service composition and pervasive computing into assisting elderly Activities of Daily Life. Taking advantages of context-awareness and service-oriented computing, Pervasive Service Computing expects to bring brilliant opportunities for pursuing global successful ageing. This paper proposes a Pervasive Service Computing for Elderly (PSC4E) framework for improving Quality of Life of elderly people, through providing being-, becoming-, and belonging-based services in context of population ageing trends, an elderly service provisioning model, and related studies.

“…Multiple studies have found that enabling resources did not account for significant amounts of variance in the use of health services (Bass et al, 1992;Branch et al, 1981;Coulton & Frost, 1982;Kempen & Suurmeijer, 1991;Wolinsky & Johnson, 1991). Two studies found that the personal resource of income was not related to health service utilization (Branch et al, 1981;Coulton & Frost, 1982), but Evashwick et al (1984) reported that having a high income was related to more health service utilization.…”

“…Among the population characteristics, need characteristics are found to be the strongest determinants of health service utilization regardless of how service use was measured (Bass et al, 1992;Coulton & Frost, 1982;Evashwick et al, 1984;Wolinsky & Johnson, 1991). Need factors accounted for significant amounts of variance ranging from 12% to 15% (Bass et al, 1992;Evashwick et al, 1984;Wolinsky & Johnson, 1991) to 40% (Coulton & Frost, 1982;Kempen & Suurmeijer, 1991).…”

There was no personally identifiable Protected Health Information (PHI) accessed during this cross sectional analysis and therefore the confidentiality of individual members of the study population was protected at all times throughout the study. Provider specialty was the only significant enabling variable in both direct and purchased care visits and accounted for 7% and 9% respectively of the shared variance in the models. The adjusted R" for the direct care model was .071 and for purchased care .158. Although the diagnosis variable of post-traumatic stress disorder was associated with greater mental health service utilization, need factors, as a whole, were neither a consistent predictor in visits where the sponsor deployed to combat nor for those where the sponsor did not deploy.

“…Individual socioeconomic status can affect the health care utilization and the type of care in different ways (5). There are evidences that socio-economic status such as income level, education, employment, ethnicity, and so on can cause horizontal inequity both in hospital and outpatient services (4,(6)(7)(8). The influence of individual health status seems to be more powerful determinant of health care utilization compared to demographic and socioeconomic status (9,10).…”

Background and purpose: Equity in access to health care has become a desirable policy objective. Therefore, accessibility to health care should be provided based on health needs rather than sociodemographic variables. This will lead to a better utilization of health care and improvement of equity in health. The aim of this paper is to examine the effects of family socio-economic status as an indication of individual's socio-economic status on the utilization of their health care. Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted in Ghaemshahr County, Iran in early 2013. In this household survey, 807 individuals were randomly approached at their home. A self-designed questionnaire was applied. The parent or every individual above 18 years were asked to fill the questionnaire for themselves and other member of their family. Using SPSS software analyses were performed with employing correlation coefficient, Chi-square and t-test. Results: About 47.9% and 52.1% of respondents were living at urban and rural area respectively. Respondents were from a quite different socio-economic and demographic background. Utilization of health care had only significant association with the location of respondents. Underutilization of health care has proportionately more evident in a rural area compared with the urban area. Conclusion: Accessibility to and utilization of health care was lower in a rural area. There is a concern of inequity in health at rural area and is going to be expanded. Appropriate policy and intervention are required to improve the situation.
