Understanding How Older Adults Negotiate Environmental Hazards in Their Home
Abstract The purpose of this research was to examine environmental hazards related to falling risk by using two different approaches and to discuss older adults’ adaptive coping strategies. Environmental hazards were identified by a researcher and residents in 88 older adults’ independent living units at a senior retirement community. This research employed two statistical analyses including a dependent sample t-test and pair-wise Kappa statistics in order to identify a significant difference in environmental hazards from two assessment tools as well as examine the inter-rater reliability on each item. Research findings show that older adults could hardly identify as many environmental hazards as the objective measurement did because of their different coping strategies, knowledge, experience, and health status. The residents' perception is a necessary component in that it could provide new insights about hazards. This research provides empirical evidence of how older adults negotiate their environmental hazards.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
