Relationships between reablement‐embedded home‐ and community‐based service use patterns and functional improvement among older adults in Taiwan
For its second decade, Taiwan's National 10-Year Long-Term Care Plan launched a policy of reinforcing home- and community-based services (HCBSs) with a focus on reablement. This study aimed to (1) identify the distinct service use patterns of reablement-embedded HCBS and (2) examine the effects of these service patterns on functional improvements among older care recipients, including among groups with different levels of care needs. We collected…
Effect of different patterns of home‐ and community‐based services in Taiwan on the changes in physical function

METHODS: A survey of 1,105 people aged 55 or above in three provinces from the northern, central, and southern parts of Vietnam was conducted. Active aging was measured using the AAI; its 22 indicators were grouped into four domains: employment, social participation, inde…
Evaluation of Reablement Home Care: Effects on Care Attendants, Care Recipients, and Family Caregivers
The reablement home care model improved the outcomes for providers, care recipients, and family caregivers. Reablement home care is suggested in long-term care policies
Adaptation and Validation of Active Aging Index Among Older Vietnamese Adults
Objective: The objective of this study was to adapt and validate the Vietnamese version of Active Aging Index (AAI). Method: We conducted an expert panel, focus groups, test-retest and examination of internal consistency, and construct and concurrent validity among 804 older Vietnamese adults. Results: Scale content validity index (CVI) was 0.98. Test-retest coefficients ranged from 0.70 to 1.00. The Cronbach's alphas of well-being, voluntary, af…

Five caregiver outcomes were included. Use of counseling and…
The impact of petrochemical industrialisation on life expectancy and per capita income in Taiwan: An 11-year longitudinal study
Countries, including Taiwan and the U.S., embracing petrochemical industries now face the challenge of environmental injustice. Our findings suggested that life expectancy lengthening was slowed and income growth was stalled for residents living in the industrial communities
Political and social determinants of life expectancy in less developed countries: A longitudinal study
Though the effect of democratic politics on increasing life expectancy was relatively small in the short term when compared to the effects of the other socioeconomic factors, the long-term impact of democracy should not be underestimated
A Fukushima-Like Nuclear Crisis in Taiwan or a Nonnuclear Taiwan
After the magnitude 9.0 Tohoku earthquake and subsequent tsunami hit Japan on 11 March 2011, one of the most severe nuclear disasters in history, registered at the highest level of danger (level 7)
The ideological construction of solidarity in translated newspaper commentaries: Context models and inter-subjective positioning
This article utilizes Van Dijk’s socio-cognitive approach as a theoretical framework to demonstrate how news translators ideologically construe solidarity in translated newspaper commentaries about the Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement (ECFA) signing between Taiwan and China. Using a corpus of 26 Chinese commentaries from the Liberty Times in Taiwan and their English translations from the Taipei Times as data, this article (1) compares the…
The Translator's Subjectivity and Its Constraints in News Transediting: A Perspective of Reception Aesthetics
Drawing upon the theory of reception aesthetics, this paper aims to systematically explore the news translator's subjectivity and the constraints involved in transediting hard news texts. The translator, who actively receives, selects and conveys information, plays a decisive role in striking an appropriate balance between accuracy and acceptability during the transediting process. By optimally exerting his/her subjectivity, the translator can pr…
Understanding Factors That Influence Success of Home- and Community-Based Services in Keeping Older Adults in Community Settings
Our findings suggest the importance of encouraging older adults to acknowledge their unmet needs and to seek community-based support services early, rather than wait until they have developed more serious needs, such as difficulties in activities of daily living (ADL)
