Participants were 238 working teachers (Mage=51.6±5.6) living in Shanghai, China. They completed previously validated questionnaires assessing their perceptions of stress, social support, self-efficacy, physical activity, and quality of life. The results suggest lower stress, higher social support, and more physical activity may directly increase quality of life. The mediating roles of self-efficacy and PA should be taken into account in managing stress and social support in order to promote quality of life among Shanghai teachers.","PeriodicalId":163225,"journal":{"name":"MOJ Gerontology & Geriatrics","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126222123","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The treatment itself is not focused on administering drugs, but depends on all available knowledge about the patient such as the patient’s medical history, living conditions or communication skills. Delirium is usually a result of the overlapping predispositioning and triggering factors. Prevention is based on eliminating or mitigating the conditions promoting this clinical syndrome. Non-pharmacological treatment includes: avoiding orthostatic and postprandial hypotension, maintaining physical fitness, monitoring mood disorders, especially depressive syndrome and improving cognitive functions. It is crucial to determine and address these factors among patients. Proper, relevant actions need to be implemented. This basic knowledge and appropriate involvement of caregivers (both formal and informal) are necessary to reduce the frequency, duration and severity of delirium, which develops in observed patients. Non-medical caregivers are advised to follow the rules formulated by geriatrists of proceeding with patients in order to minimize the risk of developing delirium.","PeriodicalId":163225,"journal":{"name":"MOJ Gerontology & Geriatrics","volume":"94 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131620006","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The findings indicate that a major contribution to the care of the elderly is related to their inadequate education. Training is one of the most effective interventions in all levels of prevention. Of course, such training should be based on acquiring accurate knowledge and understanding of the patient’s educational needs.1 Since the one of the roles of geriatric nursing is the role of education in the field of aging needs and on the basis of its particular considerations, educational interventions can be considered as an important factor for promoting health and improving the quality of life of the in elderly.2 Based on the milestone of qualitative studies, self-management programs support individuals for managing their symptoms and their illness, as well as emotional and daily outcomes associated with chronic disease. Selfmanagement models promote health outcomes and reduce health care costs. However, these principles are rarely used in the visual & sight services.7 Also according to the importance of the issue and the limited number of studies on the impact of self-management education program on quality of life, The present study with aim of scrutiny the studies conducted in the field of elderly self-management education programs and its effects on improving the quality of life associated with their chronic illnesses were conduct through review of the articles","PeriodicalId":163225,"journal":{"name":"MOJ Gerontology & Geriatrics","volume":"84 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116664957","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
