Ageing with Dignity in Hong Kong and Asia

Holistic and Humanistic Care

Produktform: Buch / Einband - flex.(Paperback)

This book advocates the application of holistic and humanistic approaches in elderly care and services to achieve the goal of ageing with dignity in Asia. It responds to the needs of an increasing ageing population that has to deal with related health needs in long-term care, community health and social services, particularly for chronic conditions and psychosocial support. The book consists of three sections on policy and development of aged care, holistic and humanistic care for older adults, and capacity building for ageing with dignity, respectively. Topics include the latest initiatives in aged care, appropriate services and delivery models, lifestyle modification, psychosocial and environmental considerations, professional development, technologies and social capital. The chapters review and discuss these issues within a global context, illustrated by examples from Asian countries, underpinned by locally-based empirical research. Contributors include academics and practitioners from diversified professional backgrounds that include medicine, nursing, pharmacy, traditional Chinese medicine, dietetics, and allied health. The book traverses into territories in the social sciences, life sciences, and sports sciences, while also touching on areas of business and administration, hospitality, law, public policy and information technology in connection with public health. The contents serve as a topical reference for tertiary studies in ageing and related disciplines such as well-being, and are also useful to policymakers, community and public health practitioners, health executives and interns working in areas of policy and practice pertinent to care development, health delivery models, planning, quality, ethics, better health promotion, professional training, and monitoring for older adults. weiterlesen
