Functional Limitations as Potential Mediators of the Effects of Self-Reported Vision Status on Fall Risk of Older Adults
Implications of these findings are discussed including the need for prioritizing improved muscle strength of older men and women with poor vision as a preventive measure against falls
Self-Reported Vision Impairment and Its Contribution to Disability Among Older Adults
Results suggest the importance of considering multiple health factors when formulating comprehensive vision rehabilitation interventions
Disability as a “Family Affair”
BACKGROUND: There is a substantial body of research focusing on the health and healthcare utilization of individuals with a disability but less has been done to examine the impact of disability on nondisabled family members. OBJECTIVE: We sought to investigate the influence of parental disability on children's healthcare as measured by the timely receipt of childhood immunizations. RESEARCH DESIGN: Observations on 11,997 children between the ages…
Community Care for People With Disability
Health care for individuals with disability is increasingly shifting from institutional settings to the "community," with assistance by those in the formal sector. In this article, the authors examine 5 case studies illustrating interactions and relationships between people with disability and their caregivers, using qualitative data collected as part of a community study of disability conducted in a medium-sized city in the northeastern United S…
Problems in doctor-patient communication
Communication between physicians and patients is considered to be a core component in the provision and receipt of appropriate medical care. However, previous research indicates that doctor-patient relationships can be problematic, with negative consequences for patients including higher levels of anxiety, distrust of medical providers, dissatisfaction with healthcare and lower quality of life. This research utilizes data collected from a series …
When Wives Get Sick
This article examines factors related to husbands' contribution to housework when their wives become newly impaired. Data are from a sample of 319 married couples who participated in the National Survey of Families and Households, and in which wives developed physical limitations between baseline and five-year follow-up interviews. Using ordinary least squares regression, we found that husbands who have egalitarian attitudes toward marital roles …
Stage of Life Course and Social Support as a Mediator of Mood State among Persons with Disability
Both instrumental and emotional support are key in mediating depressed mood among this population. We conclude that all types of social support are not equally effective in mediating mood among people with disability
The Prevalence and Consequences of Unmet Need
OBJECTIVES: This article investigates the prevalence, determinants, and consequences of unmet need for assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs), instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs), and transportation in a randomly selected sample of adults with disability residing in Springfield, Massachusetts. METHODS: Respondents were contacted through random digit dialing, and eligibility was determined through a disability screen. Eligib…
Organizing Aids Service Consortia
Developing consortia or coalitions of health and social service agencies is commonly advocated as a response to problems of service fragmentation or lack of coordination. In this article, we describe the structure and functioning of consortia established to promote coordinated systems of community-based care for people with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) in nine communities across the United States. Consortia varied in the nature of t…
