Postoperative rehabilitation after total knee joint replacement
49-50Megtekintések száma:290Objective:
The pilot study objective was to evaluate the effect of comprehensive post-operative physiotherapeutic treatment on the selected physiotherapeutic parameters as well as patients’ quality of life after a total knee joint replacement surgery.Results:
Thirty patients after total knee joint arthroplasty were enrolled into the pilot study. After completing the physiotherapeutic processes, we have observed among the patients who underwent a total knee replacement surgery, a significant increase in muscle strength as with the flexors as well as the extensors (p = 0.001), improvement in their range of motion in knee joint flexion, in comparison to its range before treatment (p = 0.001), knee pain reduction (p = 0.001) and post-operative swelling (p <0.001), respectively. After undergoing the physiotherapeutic procedures, we recorded a statistically significant improvement in the monitored physical components: dressing (p = 0.008) and toilet use (p = 0.001), transfer from bed to chair (p = 0.008), walking on flat surface (p = 0.001), climbing stairs (p = 0.001). Passing the physiotherapy significantly reduced the degree of dependence of operated patients (p = 0.001).Conclusion:
Early post-operative physiotherapy treatment positively affects patients’ general condition. In addition, it improves muscle strength, range of motion of the operated joint, eliminates postoperative pain and reduces swelling that improves patients’ self-sufficiency. Standard physiotherapy nowadays and in the next few years will take a unique place in patients’ management after total knee joint replacement.Contact:

Adult education on digital, health and data literacy for citizen empowerment: the TRIO project
57-59Megtekintések száma:143Older adults often live with chronic conditions for extended periods, leading them to make daily decisions about managing their illnesses, including lifestyle choices, diet, and medications (Alqahtani &, 2022). Even before the rapid growth of digital health, this was already a challenge they faced. However, the swift expansion of digital health has introduced certain advancements that have somewhat eased health management for caregivers and older adults. On the other hand, while digital health literacy empowers individuals to adopt healthier lifestyles, people in vulnerable conditions, which often includes older adults (Jung , et al., 2022), namely those with limited socioeconomic resources, encounter difficulties in keeping up with technological progress.

Determinants influenceing the mental health of older people (60 years +) in Botswana
33-35Megtekintések száma:164Ageing society is a reality for many people in developing countries than in the past. Governments are facing major challenges in safeguarding the mental health of older people and health care systems to deal with this demographic shift. The mental health of older people is an important indicator of the level of their health-related quality of life. The situation of older people in Africa, concerning their mental health and well-being, is a matter of growing attention among researchers and policymakers alike. There is a common perception in connection with the aged population reporting poor mental health status and a greater need for healthcare. However, there is few research on the disparities of older people relating to healthcare in Sub-Saharan Africa, especially in Botswana. There is a tendence of ever-increasing number and population proportions of older people representing both opportunities and challenges. Some of these challenges include the prevention and management of anxiety, depression, and somatization, which are the most common mental disorders in primary health care the world over. Previous research has shown that the three disorders are highly comorbid because of the need for prevention and mitigation of all three.

How to convince the undecided - communication with the elderly and attitudes towards vaccination COVID-19 in Poland
The pandemic has had its toll on the socio-economic life of most people. Governments and international organizations face new challenges in a situation of uncertainty. Social campaigns are designed to encourage as many people as possible to join the vaccination plan. Achieving population resilience requires a significant commitment of organizational, financial and communication resources.
Older people constitute a priority group in the vaccination system in Poland. However, despite the measures taken, there remains a significant share of seniors who remain reluctant to vaccination. The government is taking further pro-turnout measures targeted at the elderly. The shortcomings of the existing strategies should be eliminated for the benefit of society.
The aim is to summarize the research conducted in the field of the needs and possibilities of communication with the elderly, attitudes towards vaccinations and sources of influence on making purchasing decisions of seniors.
Vaccination attitudes – international project in Central and Eastern Europe
The beginnings of the project date back to 2020. The uncertainty that became commonplace in the times of the pandemic indicated new areas of previously unknown dependencies. Stress, uncertainty, attitudes towards the threat, protective behaviour, and soon also attitudes towards vaccination seemed the most important at that time. Examining the existing dependencies would allow a better understanding of the phenomenon of social responses to the pandemic and would support governmental and non-governmental, national and international actions that would be an important tool in the fight against the negative consequences of a spreading COVID-19.
Scientists from Central and Eastern European countries representing different disciplines (sociology, economics, communication, statistics, psychology and psychiatry) joined forces in a common international project investigating the relationship between attitudes towards vaccines and the level of perceived mental health, uncertainty, socio-demographic variables and the level of religiosity. Core aims of the project were to analyse the model of predictors concerning demographic, psychological, and social factors influencing the intention to vaccinate against COVID-19 and to provide the information to prepare and implement more effective and efficient health messaging strategies and campaigns targeting groups reluctant to COVID-19 vaccination in Eastern and Central European countries.
The project involved the development of a common research tool - a questionnaire, parallel research in four countries of Central and Eastern Europe (Poland, Romania, Slovenia, Hungary), more than 2000 respondents (unvaccined adults) and joint development of the results of the analysis, using the potential of all involved partners.
The project is still developed to next stages of investigation. Results will be published in high quality journals in years 2022 and 2023.Partners involved represent: University of Gdańsk (Poland), University of Oradea (Romania), University of Ljubljana (Slovenia), University of Debrecen (Hungary).

Survey on unvaccinated Hungarian elderly people during the COVID-19 pandemic
During the pandemic, we performed a comparative study of the Hungarian unvaccinated people, focusing on psychological and demographic aspects in our questionnaire. The survey data collection lasted from 27 August to 13 October 2021. Participants were over 18 years of age who have not yet received any vaccination against the COVID-19 virus.
The method used is an on-line questionnaire survey.
The survey is not for political but for scientific purposes, and we hope that its results will contribute to a more professional management of the COVID-19 epidemic. The survey of Hungarian team was conducted in collaboration with Polish, Slovenian and Romanian university researchers.
The test dimensions are as follows:
Well-being at the time of pandemic (happiness, health.)
Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS21)
Vaccination Attitudes Examination Scale (VAX)
Sources of information about vaccination
Religiosity level
Demographics (metrics)
The presentation focuses on the most important aspects of the first analysis of the Hungarian results. The study involved 478 people: 113 men, 363 women, and 2 people identified as “other”. It is worth highlighting from the first processing of the data that a large number of unvaccinated people do not believe that they are at risk of getting the COVID-19 virus. In our sample 42% of the unvaccinated are very sure that the vaccine will not work, and 30.6% are afraid that they will become infected because of the vaccine. They do not usually feel safe after vaccinations, they are afraid of the undiscovered consequences, and they trust more in their natural immunity. 61.8% definitely do not want a vaccine for themselves, nor in the future. 67.3% want to wait to see how vaccines work in other people. During processing, we could identify the ones with a definite anti-vaccination attitude. They were also analyzed on the basis of their political affiliation, religiosity, and place of residence. Regarding the DASS-21 depression subscale, the young age group scored significantly higher than the elderly. According to the DASS-21 stress subscale, the value belonging to young people is significantly higher than that of older people. On the Vaccination Attitudes Examination (VAX) Scale’s concerns about financial profiteering subscale, seniors scored significantly higher. Interpreting our results in the context of parallel international studies is also part of our objectives. Our results provide an opportunity to serve important aspects for the communication strategies with unvaccinated elderly. -

Alkalmazott Digitális Jólét Program a könyvtárban
118-144Megtekintések száma:85A Digitális Jólét Programnak köszönhetően, a gyöngyösi Vachott Sándor Városi Könyvtárban 2018-tól működik digitális segítségnyújtás (Okos Nagyi Klub), melynek célja, hogy az idősebb generáció is megtanulja az informatika alapjait, a számítógép, az internet, a szövegszerkesztés és az okostelefon használatát. (Kápolnai, 2022) Az itt folytatott „Idősek mint IKT tanulók” ÚNKP-23-3 kutatási program eredményei visszaigazolást adtak az idősek digitális kompetenciafejlesztésének létjogosultságáról, felhasználási területeiről, IKT (Információs és Kommunikációs Technológia) tudatos eszközhasználatának eredményes tanulási lehetőségeiről, illetve jelenlegi eszköz és hálózati hozzáférési adatairól.
Az idősek IKT eszközhasználatának felhasználási területeinek tényszerű beazonosítása mellett, elkészült az időskori, digitális kompetenciafejlesztés tanulási motivációs ábra az ÚNKP-23-3 pályázat keretében.
További gerontológiai kutatások eredményei alátámasztják, hogy azok az idősek, akik mozgékonyak, aktívak és nyitottak, valamint megőrzik vagy akár gyarapítják társadalmi kapcsolataikat, teljesebb öregkorra számíthatnak. A kor előre haladásával nem hanyatlik sem feltétlenül, sem egységesen a kreativitás, az intelligencia, a műveltség. Az idegsejteknek öregedési folyamat során történő leépülése ellensúlyozható a közöttük levő kapcsolatok tanulással való megerősítésével, megújításával. (Bene-Móré-Zombory, 2020)
Az időskori aktivitás megtartásának egyik leghatékonyabb eszköze a tanulás. (Bene, 2017)
Az időskori sikeres tanulási folyamat a külső és belső motiváció egységének a függvénye, amely a társadalmi integráción túl, az aktív élet fenntartásához és javításához is hozzájárul.
A digitális kompetencia jelentősége széles spektrumú időskorban is. Ugyanakkor a digitális készségek mellett a rugalmasság, az autonómia és a problémakezelés kompetenciája is hozzájárulhat az idősek jövőbeli hatékony életvezetéséhez és akár munkavégzéséhez. (Kristóf-Győri, 2021)
A digitális kompetenciafejlesztés hidat teremthet a generációk, a társadalmi osztályok között, a „tudás” bárki számára elérhetővé válhat, azonban időskorban a sikeres tanulási folyamat feltétele mindenekelőtt a motiváció.
