  Relocation stress syndrome was officially recognised as a nursing diagnosis in 1992; however, the phenomenon had been documented for at least 70 years. In Western literature, high mortality rates and other deleterious effects of relocation on older person populations were described as early as the 1960s.

  This paper provides an in-depth analysis of the challenges confronting the elderly population in the Philippines, focusing on economic insecurity, healthcare accessibility, social isolation, and the socio-cultural context of aging. While the elderly population remains smaller in proportion compared to other Southeast Asian nations—growing from 2.7% in 1990 to a projected 7.7% by 2025—this demographic shift brings significant implications. The increase in the aged dependency ratio, expected to double from 5.5 elderly per 100 working-age persons in 1990 to 10.5 by 2025, reflects the pressures on younger generations to support an aging population.

  The awareness of communities with dementia in Western Europe has moved closer to recognizing priority issues such as the environment or climate change. Dementia-friendly communities how have a history of 30 years and have achieved significant results through their work, both for those affected by the disease and those not directly affected. It probably affects many families, the topic is also getting into the spotlight in Hungary.

  Without specific and detailed statistics and databases, dementia currently exists in the latent zone. The vast majority of the literature defines dementia as a diesease for which there is no treatment or cure. The effect of dementia is considered primarily as problems in the brain that negatively affect clear thinking, memory processes and result in additional emotional turbulence. Dementia is known as an age-related condition.

  In general, dementia is identified as senility, incorrectly. Dementia can occur in different areas and at different levels in individual patients. As a result, families affected by the disease often face serious difficulties in identifying the disease. Without proper and detailed knowledge of the diagnosis, many families struggle with the situation of self care solutions at home. This personal involvement not only imposes a significant financial and emotional burden on the family but also often leads to separation and isolation, which can have additional negative effects on the disease itself and even on the mental health of the patient’s family members.

  The global extent of dementia is generally known only to experts in the field, and to this day there is still a lack of adequate representation in the wider social dialogue. There is a unique and innovative incentive in Gyöngyös where Matralab’s integrated care centers offer day-care activities and solutions to support and provide experts advice to families with dementia. The project is implemented at the regional level, where 25 municipalities start monitoring the conditions and impacts of dementia in the region. As dementia is a prevalent and identifiable condition, affected families need help and support at the widest possible level.

  Az idősödés globális jelenség, a modern társadalmak számára mind nehezebben megoldható financiális és szociális problémát jelen. Azt, hogy az öregedés= betegség azonosságot elfogadjuk, az a probléma megoldását nem segíti, csak a költségeket növeli. A fekvőbeteg osztályokon így is jelentős a 65 év felettiek száma. A megoldási lehetőség az, hogy az öregedést dekompenzációnak tekintjük, egy olyan folyamatnak, amelynek részei és beavatkozási lehetőségei vannak. Amennyiben a dekompenzációs folyamat hullámvölgyeiben beavatkozunk a megfelelő eszközökkel, a dekompenzáció csökkenthető, az egészségben eltöltött életévek növelhetők. A cél az önellátó képesség minél további megőrzése. Ahhoz, hogy ez ne egyedi vásárolt szolgáltatás legyen, rendszert kell kialakítani. Áttekintettük azokat a jelentősebb kísérleteket, amelyek a világban zajlottak, s alkalmasnak tűnnek a kérdés megfelelő kezelésére. Ahhoz, hogy eredményt érjünk el, azonban nemcsak struktúra, hanem szemléletváltozás is szükséges.

  Purpose: The aim of this study was to reveal the perceptions of nursing students about the concept of aging through metaphors.

  Methods: The basic qualitative research design was used to evaluate the metaphors of nursing students regarding the concept of aging from their perspectives. The study sample consisted of 104 senior nursing students at Aksaray University in the 2021-2022 academic year. A purposive sampling method was used. "Metaphoric Perceptions Data Collection Form", which was prepared by the researchers in line with the literature, was used as a data collection tool. The form consists of two parts. In the first part, the demographic characteristics of the students were investigated. In the second part, the sentence “Aging is like … because … ” was given to reveal students' metaphors regarding the concept of aging. The metaphors developed by the students regarding the concept of old age were analyzed and interpreted with Metaphor Analysis. Metaphor analysis has been associated with content analysis.

  Results: The mean age of the students participating in the study was 21.65±0.99 (min: 20, max: 25). Of students, 68.6% were female, 33.3% lived in city, and 84.3% had nuclear family. About half (50.0%) of their grandparents lived in their house. Of the students, 39.2% thought about living with your parents when you start a family in the future; 52.9% lived with older adults aged 65 and over until now; 92.2% cared for an older patient during clinical practice; and 74.5% wanted to work in a health institution serving the elderly after graduation. Students produced a total of 102 valid metaphors for the concept of aging. Four main themes were obtained from the data. The main themes were aging as an ending story, a need for care, attention, and support, a new beginning, and a source of life.

  Conclusion: Nursing students' metaphors about aging are generally negative, but also contain expressions of respect.

  A nagyszülők szerepe nagyon meghatározó az életünkben mind szülőként, mind unokaként. Az a törődés és gondoskodás, amit ők nyújtanak érzelmileg meghatározó élmény, ami egyben kötődési mintául is szolgál. Már ősidők óta szerepe van a nagyszülőknek, elsősorban a nagymamáknak az unokák túlélésében.
  Feltehetően a postmenpauzális nőknek, a nagymamáknak köszönhető hogy az ember gyermekénél a hosszú fejlődés időszaka kialakulhatott, aminek rendkívüli a jelentősége az ember kognitív evolúciójában.
  Azonban számos kérdés vetődik fel a nagyszülői segítségnyújtás tekintetében, melyekre mind evolúciós, mind szociális magyarázatokkal szolgálnak a kutatók. Ezen kutatások számba veszik mért jelenhetett meg a nagymamai szerep a humán evolúcióban, milyen faktorok befolyásolják a nagyszülői segítségnyújtást és azt, hogy a szülők, unokák miképp viszonyulnak majd ehhez.

  NCM-funded project and expert network “Indigenous and non-indigenous residents of the Nordic-Russian region: Best practices for equity in healthy ageing” will be introduced.

  The Arctic population is ageing, albeit at various speed across the regions and to a different degree of “healthiness” and “inequity related to healthy ageing” across the life-course. The aim of the research is to contribute to a multidisciplinary understanding of circumstances and patterns of healthy ageing in the Nordic-Russian Arctic and share examples of new solutions as components to the Arctic member states’ national policies and in accordance with the principles of WHO “Decade of Healthy Ageing 2020–2030”.

  We will focus on a broad evaluation of opportunities the region can bring in to carry activities,  building on the principles of the WHO Global Strategy on Ageing and Health, the United Nations Madrid International Plan of Action on Ageing, and aligned to the timing of the United Nations Agenda 2030 on Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We will identify best practices at the regional/community levels among Non- and Indigenous older residents, using comparative approach: 1. How we think, feel and act towards age and ageing, 2.Communities fostering the abilities of older people, 3.Delivering culturally safe and person centred care and health services responsive to older people.

  The project complements our on-going activities under the UArctic Thematic Network “Health and Well-being in the Arctic” and a “Development of a Think Tank Functions of the Northern Dimension Institute”.

  The established fact is that the population with the highest consumer of healthcare services is the elderly because of the increasing demand for adaptive health services accessible to the elderly. As the elderly continue to age, there is a decline in the health condition, developed societies have explored and employed several multidisciplinary approaches to the care of the elderly. The focus is on social work as a profession.

  Although rates of Covid-19 infection are lower for older adults, the mortality rates are higher than all other ages. While the health challenges are evident, the mental health effects of the pandemic are less evident. The term “compassionate ageism” has been used to describe protection of all older adults as vulnerable groups, however it overlooks individual factors that may mitigate risk and enhance mental health aspects of coping with the realities of the pandemic. Isolation and separation from families and once enjoyed activities, whether residing in their own homes or long-term care facilities, has taken an immeasurable physical and mental health toll on older adults. Safety and security for mental health as well as physical health must be considered in any strategy to try mitigate the effects on the quality of life of older adults during this critical time in our history.

  Elöregedő társadalmunk egyre égetőbb problémákkal állít minket szembe, amelyek miatt nélkülözhetetlen az idősekkel kapcsolatos kutatások folytatása. Az idő előrehaladtával az egészségromlás általános tendenciája megfigyelhető, mellyel kapcsolatban korábbi kutatások számos olyan tényezőt azonosítottak, amelyek befolyásolják az idősek életminőségét és jól-létét, beleértve a társadalmi környezetet, az életminőséget és a jól-létet (Dobossy, Molnár, & Virágh, 2003; Dimunová et al., 2013; Ferwagner, 2021; Bene & Móré, 2022).

  Persistent negative stereotypes on the aging process and the older person are noticeable within the current youth-orientated culture. Older persons may also hold negative stereotypes about the younger generation. These undesirable typecasts co-exist because younger and older persons often have limited contact with each other. Indeed, the younger generation, only gets to engage in communication with the older person within the family unit, rarely outside their own familial structures. Similarly, older persons, residents of long-term care have limited opportunities of interacting with the younger generation.

  Introduction One of the challenges that stands before the aging population is the integration and mental and physical wellbeing of the elderly, and building the culture of active ageing. Meeting this challenge requires the activity of professionals who, in alliance with the work and services of the local governments, will become able to organise programmes that meet the needs and demands of the older citizens.

  This objective is targeted by the Elderly Service Officer Trainings provided by Family-Friendly Country Public Beneficiary Ltd.

  Methods: Our goal is to enable future Elderly Service Officers to actively contribute and enforce lawful practice to preparing, organising and implementing local civil programmes that target active aging; to recognise the special needs of the older citizens; and to orient within the legal environment of the programmes for the elderly. They should become able to co-operate efficiently with local government officials and NGOs supporting active ageing.

  Training topics: 1. Active ageing and mental wellbeing, 2. Community development, networking, volunteering, 3. Environment for active ageing, 4. Planning and implementing elderly friendly programmes.

  As regards to monitoring effectiveness, above activity indicators, we survey the changes of attitudes among trainees, and further activities of the Elderly Service Officers. The effectiveness studies are in progress.

  Results: Since May 2019, 16 study groups with 238 attendees have been launched (11 in Budapest és 5 on the countryside), and 12 groups have finished, yielding 144 certified trainees. We are planning a further set of 23 groups for 2021, in order to achieve the planned number of participants of 1000.

  Discussion: Further development of the training will depend on our future results.

  Cancer is one of the most dreaded diseases in the world. Family plays an important role in managing this disease. It provides home care for the patient, helps to increase and maintain the patient's self-sufficiency. A number of factors influence the patient's self-sufficiency, such as the age of the patient, the type of illness, the method of treatment, the patient's psychological state, the environment in which the patient is located, etc. Self-sufficiency in patients contributes to their self-esteem and to a positive perception of themselves.
