A review of national population based surveys indicated that older Americans are very unlikely to attain this objective. The authors' review of epidemiological and empirical literature, however, suggested that both high activity/high fitness and high activity/low fitness physical activities contribute to health. Moreover, the underlying dimension of the health goal for older Americans is to increase or maintain functional independence. Physical activities that emphasize flexibility, strength, and balance are essential components in maintaining activity in daily living skills for older Americans. A recommendation for cardiovascular health, based upon recent empirical studies, is that older adults should optimally attain a leisure time physical activity (LTPA) expenditure of 150 to 400 K-cal per day. The authors' analysis of the 1985 National Health Interview Survey; Health Promotion and Disease Prevention, indicated that only 22 percent of older Americans are attaining the minimal 150 K-cal threshold in LTPA. The authors subsequently argued that the physical fitness goal for older Americans should be revised to include not only aerobic activity but flexibility, strength, and balance.","PeriodicalId":79617,"journal":{"name":"Health values","volume":"13 4","pages":"15-23"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"21164775","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}

Findings from a sample of 1,081 female students who responded to a questionnaire showed considerable variability in the extent to which students engage in health-related practices. While the majority obtain six to eight hours of sleep per night, exercise regularly, and have annual dental and physical examinations, less than half those surveyed eat breakfast everyday, over three-quarters eat between meals, and less than one-half limit fat, salt, and sugar in their diets. Most do not wear seat belts consistently; less than one-third perform breast self-examination monthly; and 90% consume alcoholic beverages and one-quarter have five or more drinks per occasion. Analyses demonstrated a statistically significant relationship between preventive-health orientation scores and age and type of basic nursing education. These data suggest that nurse faculty and health educators need to influence students' health-promoting and disease-preventing behaviors. This need is particularly salient since these students are expected to act as exemplars when they complete their education and assume positions in the health-care system.","PeriodicalId":79617,"journal":{"name":"Health values","volume":"13 2","pages":"24-31"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"21163929","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}

Nursing home employee attitudes towards AIDS. 疗养院员工对艾滋病的态度。

P D Sarvela, J R Moore

{"title":"Nursing home employee attitudes towards AIDS.","authors":"P D Sarvela, J R Moore","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"This article examines nursing home employee attitudes toward issues related to AIDS and is based on data collected from 343 employees from 13 nursing homes in rural, small towns in sourthern Illinois during the spring of 1988. Results suggested that a large majority of the employees had negative attitudes toward people with AIDS. For example, 67% of the sample indicated that it was more important to limit the spread of AIDS rather than to protect the rights of people with AIDS. Furthermore, 42% suggested that AIDS patients should be sent to sanitariums to protect others from AIDS. Greater than half of the sample (56%) responded that they would feel uncomfortable around people with AIDS. About one third (32%) felt that being around someone with AIDS would put their health in danger, and 21% would be afraid to even take care of a family member with AIDS. With regard to job-specific AIDS attitudes, 51% indicated that health-care workers should be able to refuse to work with AIDS patients, and another 46% felt that hospitals and nursing homes should be able to refuse to admit people with AIDS. In addition to these and other results, this article presents a brief discussion concerning possible educational strategies which might be implemented in this setting to reduce the negative attitudes of these employees. Considerations are also presented for nursing home administrators, who face the problem of developing effective policies for dealing with the rising number of AIDS patients who will be admitted to their facilities.","PeriodicalId":79617,"journal":{"name":"Health values","volume":"13 2","pages":"11-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"21163933","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}
