“…Second, follow-up of the respondents is limited to 12 months after inclusion, while the average life expectancy of the study group is 3,7 years [ 13 ]. We expect that respondents may need to make important health care decisions within the timeframe of the study, given their frailty, but we may miss important decisions.…”

“…The study population consists of older people living at home and receiving home care or residing in one of 16 participating care homes of Laurens, a care organisation in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Residents of care homes generally suffer from one or more chronic conditions and 32 % are totally dependent on others for daily care needs [ 13 ]. Their average life expectancy is 3,7 years, and their health condition often involves important health care decisions in a relatively short time frame.…”

BackgroundCurrently, health care and medical decision-making at the end of life for older people are often insufficiently patient-centred. In this trial we study the effects of Advance Care Planning (ACP), a formalised process of timely communication about care preferences at the end of life, for frail older people.Methods/DesignWe will conduct a cluster randomised controlled trial among older people residing in care homes or receiving home care in the Netherlands. The intervention group will receive the ACP program Respecting Choices® in addition to usual care. The control group will receive usual care only. Participants in both groups will fill out questionnaires at baseline and after 12 months. We hypothesize that ACP will lead to better patient activation in medical decision making and quality of life, while reducing the number of medical interventions and thus health care costs. Multivariate analysis will be used to compare differences between the intervention group and the control group at baseline and to compare differences in changes after 12 months following the inclusion.DiscussionOur study can contribute to more understanding of the effects of ACP on patient activation and quality of life in frail older people. Further, we will gain insight in the costs and cost-effectiveness of ACP. This study will facilitate ACP policy for older people in the Netherlands.Trial registrationNederlands Trial Register: NTR4454.

Plastic money is a very recent context replacing the traditional concept of paying though cash. Plastic money is a term coined keeping in view the increasing number of transactions taking place on the part of consumer for paying for transactions incurred by them to purchase goods and services physically and virtually. It includes credit cards, debit cards, pre-paid balance cards, smart cards etc. This research is typically focusing only on the use of debit cards from the elderly in order to find out the effectiveness of such cards in real life and consumers perceive them. It also presents the use of electronic wallet. Is electronic wallet helpful in every day's transactions? Can old age people find it helpful in using it? Electronic wallet accepts debit cards that are connected with the banking account which has been declared by elderly in the financial institution. It allows an individual person to purchase something at a store and enables unforgeable transactions with other wallets.

“…Also, the words bed-ridden and bed-bound appear in the somewhat older literature. Someone who is bedfast is limited to his or her bed due to illness or physical impairments (de Klerk, 2005). A person is bedfast if he or she spends the larger part of the day (and night) in bed (Zegelin, 2008).…”

Purpose -Over 8 per cent of the Dutch nursing home population is bedfast, and this number is slowly increasing. The quality of life (QoL) of this population is lower than that of residents who are still mobile. Little research has been conducted on how to improve the QoL of this bedfast population, particularly through making technological adjustments to the bed and the direct surroundings. The purpose of this paper is to gain insight into the QoL of bedfast residents and how to improve this through technology. Design/methodology/approach -A mixed-method multi-case study with thematic analysis was conducted in two nursing homes with seven participants based on semi-structured interviews and Short Form-12 questionnaire. Findings -The major causes of the experienced low QoL were the limited opportunities for engaging in social contacts with others, and coping with the dependency on other people and having limited control. Participants suggested improvements of QoL through the application of modern communication technologies to engage in social contacts and to control the bed itself and environment around the bed. Practical implications -The results may help improve the design of the bed and the direct environment in order to improve the QoL of bedfast nursing home residents. Originality/value -The QoL of bedfast nursing home residents has not been studied before in relation to the bed itself and technological solutions that may help improve the QoL and level of control.
