The aim of this study was to examine the self-care practices and health-seeking behaviours older adults in urban Indonesia. cross-sectional performed from January March 2014 Tammua sub-district At time study, 273 resided Tammua, half them (51.2%) participated study. Data collection carried out including practices, health literacy, self-efficacy basic conditioning factors. It found that most respondents (124; 88.6%) always ate various protein sources daily. However, many participants never...
Abstract We conducted a randomized, controlled trial to examine the effects of salt‐reduction and efficacy‐maintenance program on improvement maintenance self‐care self‐efficacy in reducing salt intake older people with high blood pressure. A total 51 participants hypertension/prehypertension Indonesia were randomly assigned control group or one two intervention groups: training efficacy‐maintenance. The received educational meeting; participants' knowledge, attitudes, practices,...
This study aimed to identify differences in caregiver burden related toileting assistance, and examine the factors associated with most burdensome aspects of providing assistance. In 2019, a self-administered postal survey was conducted 743 caregivers older adults who received subsidies for continence products Komatsu City, Japan. Both family nursing home staff answered questions regarding adults’ urinary/fecal symptoms, perceived burden. Older living at had less need assistance than those...
Abstract Aim: The purpose of this study was to develop an exercise program for elderly individuals in a long‐term care facility. Developed through the synthesis evidence‐based nursing with use available research related falls and exercise, designed increase balance, mobility, muscle strength lower extremities order prevent improve self‐efficacy patients. Methods: We developed consisting warm‐up, static stretching, strengthening extremities, toe exercises, proprioceptive neuromuscular...
Abstract Objectives Women working in the medical field may be at risk for pelvic floor dysfunction due to high physical activity levels leading increased abdominal pressure; however, actual situation remains unknown. This study aimed clarify prevalence of symptoms and its associated factors among Japanese women field. Methods A cross‐sectional was conducted female employees a public hospital Japan from July August 2020. Participants answered web‐based questionnaire. Three types related were...
Purpose: To develop an education program for nurses specializing in dementia care, and to investigate its effects. Methods: An intervention study of was conducted using a quasi-experiment with 3 randomly assigned groups. Participants were 51 from psychiatric hospital ward, divided into group (17 nurses), knowledge-acquisition-only (16 usual-care (18 nurses) as controls. The comprised frameworks: motivation achieving the task, acquisition professional knowledge required sharing successful...
Abstract Aims Many stroke patients cannot urinate independently due to motor and cognitive dysfunctions. This study examined whether a continuous continence self‐management program during acute convalescent phases is associated with independence in voiding behavior. Methods A retrospective cohort was conducted among registered the Council of Kaga Local Stroke Network, Japan, from 2015 2019. In intervention group ( n = 941), multidisciplinary care team ward nurses provided phase shared...
Abstract Aim To epidemiologically determine post‐void residual urine volume (PVR) and identify the characteristics of “potential” older adult patients with voiding dysfunction in an acute‐care hospital. Methods A cross‐sectional study was conducted on 614 hospital between November 2018 May 2019. Using portable ultrasound devices, nurses measured patients' PVR three times after admission. Lower urinary tract symptoms were evaluated using Core Urinary Tract Symptom Score prior to Results total...
This study investigates the effects of fatigue on process walking in young adults using developed clog-integrated sensor system. The can simultaneously measure forefoot activity (FA) and minimum toe clearance (MTC). FA was evaluated through change contact area captured by a camera method based light conductive plate. MTC derived from distance between bottom surface clog ground obtained time flight (TOF) sensor, posture an acceleration sensor. induced achieved treadmill at fastest speed. We...
According to the experience of nurses and physiotherapists, abdomen constipated people becomes softer after abdominal massage. However, relationship between decrease in stiffness benefits massage has not been examined quantitatively is unclear. Furthermore, devices for measuring have designed measure relatively hard areas such as shoulders do take into account lateral outflow target tissue, which can be a problem when soft abdomen. To address these issues, this study presents sensor suitable...
: Many stroke patients experience motor and cognitive dysfunctions that make living at home challenging. We aimed to identify the factors associated with hospital discharge in older convalescent rehabilitation wards where intensive comprehensive inpatient are performed following acute-phase treatment.: A retrospective cohort study was conducted among 1227 registered database of Council Kaga Local Stroke Network, Japan, between 2015 2019. Patients' basic characteristics, destination, type...
Abstract Aim Caregivers in home care settings may experience significant physical, emotional, and financial burdens providing toileting assistance. However, few studies have evaluated these three aspects of caregiver burden. Therefore, this study aimed to clarify the assistance examine factors associated with each Methods A self‐administered postal questionnaire was distributed 405 family caregivers older adults receiving subsidies for incontinence products Japan 2019. Family answered...
[abstFig src='/00290002/02.jpg' width='270' text='Appearance of a subject' ] In this study, we present method for the evaluation perturbation walking balance resulting from additional task loads. For evaluation, compared pose differences between normal and under multi-task conditions. We employed an inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensor attached to hips shoulders subjects, through which determined orientation shoulder with respect hip. focused on variation width utilized increase rate that...
This study involves the development of a novel sensing system for planta while walking on any surface and in condition. In study, main aim is visualization planta. A plantar image reflected at reflecting captured by camera embedded clog. The obtained visual information differs from pressure IMU data conventional sensors as it provides detailed surface. used to investigate relationship between activity toe area stumbling experiences. results indicate that high associated with group no experiences low
In this study, we investigated the relationship between toe-area activity and stumbling experiences utilizing our developed sensing system, in order to assess elderly people with experiences. The system enables visualization of plantar aspect while walking on any surface under condition. An image is received at a reflecting captured by camera attached clog. was evaluated comparing difference toe contact areas heel-strike push-off. Thirteen young individuals (nine men four women, age 22.4 ± 2...
This study develops a novel sensing system to monitor two trip-risk-related factors when walking on any surface and under condition. One factor is the visualized plantar aspect during walking. We extended our previous new wireless wearable device that also provides more stable image as well improves comfort. During walking, produced reflecting captured by camera embedded in clog. The other minimum toe clearance (MTC). MTC defined distance between ground at swing phase. Acceleration...
This study was carried out to identify the factors influencing a subjective evaluation of gait by female subjects undergoing total hip arthroplasty (hereafter THA), and understand extent which each these affects in patients. A survey administered 112 patients before after THA. stepwise multiple regression analysis performed using as dependent variable explanatory variables. The following were found influence THA: pain (β=0.420), leg length discrepancy (LLD) (β=−0.271), walking ability...
