Par Mary Renck Jalongo, Patricia A. Crawford. 2021
This book studies the many different ways in which the lives of the first, third, and fourth generations intersect and…
the reciprocal benefits that can accrue from establishing positive intergenerational bonds. The unifying feature across the chapters is that the authors view these relationships as a powerful influence on Quality of Life (QoL). The book takes the stance that older adults figure prominently in the QoL of young children, with the latter group defined here as ranging in age from infancy up to and including eight years of age. It examines how bonds with older adults can affect young children’s functioning across developmental domains—physical, emotional, social, and cognitive. It addresses questions of importance to those who have a commitment to the very young such as: “What benefits can young children derive from positive bonds with older adults?”, “How do young children understand the aging process and develop respect for the elderly?”, “How can published research be used to guide both informal and formal interactions between the older generation and the newest one?” and, finally, “How can various stakeholders such as professionals, families, organizations, and communities collaborate to enrich and enlarge the kind and amount of support that older adults provide to the very young child?”Neurodegeneration – 35 Fallbeispiele aus der Praxis

a rapidly changing world. Seeing continuous learning as more than the periodic acquisition of new skills this book presents a design-led approach to revising the stories we tell ourselves, unlearning old habits and embracing new practices. This book maps learning opportunities across the contemporary landscape, narrating global case studies from K12, higher education, design consultancies and researchers. It offers narrative context, best practices and emergent strategies for how designers can partner in the important work of advancing a lifetime of learning. Committed to driving sustained transformation this is a playbook of practical moves for designing memory-making, perspective-shifting, hands-on learning encounters. The book braids stories from design practice with theories of change, transformative learning literature, cognitive and social psychology research, affect theory and indigenous knowing. Positioning the COVID-19 pandemic as a moment to question what was previously normalised, the book proposes playful strategies for seeding transformational change. The relational practice at the core of Design for Transformative Learning argues that if learning is to be transformative the experience must be embodied, cognitive and social. This book is an essential read for design and social innovation researchers, facilitators of community engagement and co-design workshops, design and arts educators and professional learning designers. It is a useful primer for K12 teachers, organisational change practitioners and professional development facilitators curious to explore the intersection of design and learning.Corona und die Pflege: Denkanstöße – die Corona-Krise und danach (Vallendarer Schriften der Pflegewissenschaft #10)
Par Hermann Brandenburg, Verena Breitbach. 2022
Es ist wichtig die „Corona-Pandemie“ aus der Perspektive verschiedener Disziplinen zu betrachten. Denn eine „Lösung“ kann letztlich nur gesellschaftlich verantwortet…
und nicht aus der Logik einer Disziplin, z. B. der Medizin, begründet werden. Was entstanden ist aus den „Corona-Impulsen“ während des ersten Lockdowns in Deutschland im März 2020, hat sich zu einem Zeitzeugnis „nach dem ersten Hype“ entwickelt: Aus multiperspektivischer Sicht (philosophischer, soziologischer, ethnologischer, theologischer und pflegewissenschaftlicher) wird ein Blick auf die Corona-Pandemie und auf ihre langfristigen Folgen und die sich daraus ergebenden Bedarfe geworfen. „Wir haben die Pflegefachkräfte in der Corona-Krise zweimal im Stich gelassen: In der ersten Welle haben sich viele im Dienst am Menschen infiziert, weil Masken, Schutzkleidung und Konzepte fehlten. Viele von ihnen leiden bis heute unter Long Covid, was nicht als Berufskrankheit anerkannt ist. Wenn wir weiter so ignorant mit der größten und wichtigsten Gruppe im Gesundheitswesen umgehen, dürfen wir uns nicht wundern, wenn sie uns jetzt und erst recht in Zukunft überall fehlt. Mit meiner Stiftung Humor Hilft Heilen machen wir seit Jahren Workshops für die Pflege, um die seelische Gesundheit für Pflegekräfte zu stärken. Dieses Buch ist wichtig, weil es auf dieses Dilemma aus verschiedenen Perspektiven hinweist und Lösungen aufzeigt.“ Dr. Eckart von Hirschhausen, Gründer der Stiftung Humor Hilft Heilen, die sich seit 2008 für mehr Menschlichkeit in der Medizin einsetzt und „Begegnungen auf Augenhöhe – mit Augenzwinkern“ ermöglicht.Senior Trauma Patients: An Integrated Approach

Welcome to the better half of your life. The New York Times bestselling author of The Female Brain explains how a…
woman&’s brain gets &“upgraded&” in midlife, inspiring and guiding women to unlock their full potential.&“This is an important book. I want all women to read it. I wish I had read it years ago!&”—Jane FondaDr. Louann Brizendine was among the first to explain why women think, communicate, and feel differently than men. Now, inspired by her own experiences and those of the thousands of women at her clinic, she has a message that is nothing short of revolutionary: in the time of life typically known as menopause, women&’s brains are reshaped, for the better, in a way that creates new power, a bracing clarity, and a laser-like sense of purpose if you know how to seize it.With guidance for navigating the perimenopausal and menopausal storm while it lasts, and actionable, science-backed steps for preserving brain health for the rest of your life, The Upgrade is a stunning roadmap, told through intimate stories, to a new brain state and its incredible possibilities. Dr. Brizendine explains the best science-backed strategies for: • Hormones: If timed and handled properly, hormone management can save your life. Brizendine cuts through the controversy to give you the latest guidance for HRT. • Exercise: Leg strength correlates directly with healthy brain function at age 80. Here are the strategies for maintaining your strength. • Sleep: It&’s critical for maximizing the Upgrade, and Brizendine shares how to achieve healthy rest during challenging transitions. • Mindset: Brizendine shows how to seize the opportunities of your midlife brain changes by shifting your mindset and vision with intention. • Brain Health: The Upgraded brain requires special care when it comes to sugar, alcohol, inflammatory foods, and the microbiome.

The Upgrade amounts to a celebration of how women step into their power and an entirely new—and radically positive—understanding of aging.Taiwan’s Senior Learning Movement: Perspectives from outside in and from inside out (Lifelong Learning Book Series #28)
Par Brian Findsen, Hui-Chuan Wei, Ai-Tzu Li. 2022
This volume provides an in-depth analysis of historical and recent developments of senior learning in Taiwan, where publications in English…
have been scant. It takes a broader view on lifelong learning and active ageing from a theoretical/conceptual base written by prominent international authors- this represents the ‘outside in’ perspective. The ‘inside out’ on the other hand signifies an in-depth investigation of initiatives written by authors from Taiwan who are closely involved with developments in policy and practice. The volume is situated theoretically in the intersection of complementary concepts such as lifelong learning, active ageing, later life learning, learning communities and social movements. It is located geographically and culturally in East Asia where senior learning/education is expanding in response to large populations of older adults and concerns about their physical and social well-being. It is argued that Taiwan is leading the way in terms of innovation and community engagement in regard to older adult learning/education and can thus serve as a model for neighboring countries. By analyzing historical precedents, cultural dynamics, policy trends, research sub-fields and community engagement this book is of interest to both East Asian and Western scholars, practitioners, policy-makers and students amongst the fields of lifelong learning, social gerontology and educational psychology.Alive Until You're Dead: Notes on the Home Stretch
Par Susan Moon. 2022
Poignant and humorous insights on fully embracing our lives as we age from Susan Moon, beloved Buddhist teacher and author.…
Aging isn't easy. But it can still be filled with joy—maybe even more joy than we expect. Described by the New York Journal of Books as "a Buddhist Anne Lamott," Zen teacher and writer Susan Moon persuades us that as we notice we are impermanent, we get to come alive in new ways. Joining levity with tenderness, Moon shares stories from her own life on topics including knee replacements, Zoom chats with grandchildren, ongoing companionship with a close friend who is moving deeper into dementia, and a season as a Zen monk in the wilderness. Moon illustrates the strength that can come from within, sometimes unexpectedly, even as our bodies fail. Our radiant aliveness can be discovered and rediscovered any time up to the last moment. Alive Until You're Dead offers a Zen approach to facing our impermanence. Moon's stories explore being present with what is, not turning away from what's difficult, wishing for and working for the wellbeing of others, and being willing not to know what's next. These field notes from an old human being invite us to feel more alive in the final stretch, whatever it holds.Caregiving with Love and Joy: An Expert's Guide to Providing the Best Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia Home Care

ails a rootbound plant isn&’t the plant—it&’s the pot. Move it to a roomy new pot, and soon enough, you&’ll see beautiful, fresh foliage and blooms. Repotting Your Life brings this same wisdom to your career, relationships, and goals—and right when you need it most: at that soul-searching moment when you feel &“stuck.&” An award-winning inspirational speaker, Frances Edmonds discovered this ideal metaphor for self-reinvention when she uprooted herself from London to participate in Stanford&’s Distinguished Careers Institute for midlife professionals. There, she learned to help others recognize when they are languishing, identify a new purpose that matters, and finally make space for transformation. In Repotting Your Life, she shares prompts and exercises (and gentle humor) to guide you through each stage of this journey. The hardest part of repotting can be to notice that what nourished you then is stifling you now. No matter your age or stage of life, you&’re never done growing: The summit of one adventure is the starting point of the next. Whether you&’re craving a career move, a change of surroundings, or a new phase of a relationship, Repotting Your Life will help you design a future full of fresh possibility where you can truly blossom.Metaphern bzw. sprachlich übertragene Bilder sind im beruflichen Kontext von zentraler Bedeutung, da mit ihnen komplexe Sachverhalte durch leicht zu…
vermittelnde Erfahrungen übersetzt werden. Im Zuge dessen erfolgt auch eine Übertragung entsprechender Eigenschaften, sodass anzunehmen ist, dass Metaphern das Denken und letztlich auch das Handeln prägen. Dennoch weisen vorliegende Arbeiten darauf hin, dass Metaphern nicht systematisch pflegewissenschaftlich erforscht sind. In diesem Buch werden literaturbasierte Metaphern pflegerischen Handelns im Setting der Altenpflege, metaphorische Konzepte sowie zentrale Motive von sechs interviewten Pflegefachpersonen vorgestellt und Implikationen für das pflegerische Handeln abgeleitet. Primäres Erkenntnisinteresse der Datenanalyse stellte das Verständnis pflegerischen Handelns dar, welches unterstützt durch die Triangulation von zwei Methoden beleuchtet wurde. Im Zuge dessen wurde die Metaphernanalyse nach Schmitt (u.a. 1995) sowie das Integrative Basisverfahren nach Kruse et al. (2011) angewendet. Zudem werden wohnbereichsformspezifische Kontraste herausgearbeitet, Rückschlüsse auf das jeweilige Pflegeverständnis gezogen und in seinen vielfältigen Facetten abgebildet, die von der Bewältigung von Lasten und einem Kampf bis hin zu einer Herzensangelegenheit reichen. Ziel ist es, für die sprachlich übertragenen Bilder bzw. die „Macht der Sprache“ zu sensibilisieren und Impulse zur positiven Umdeutung negativer Betrachtungsweisen zu geben.
