Introduction: The discussion on palliative care in high-tech environments and interventional practice represents one of the various aspects to be considered in the challenge of providing a continuum of wellness in living and dying for the elderly. Objective: To map and identify the existing works in the literature on nursing actions that focus on palliative care for elderly patients in surgical hospitalization settings. Materials and methods: This scoping review was conducted on eight databases, following the Joanna Briggs Institute and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review-Scoping Review guidelines. The following descriptors were used: nursing care; palliative care; elderly; surgery. The inclusion criteria were the following: primary research, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and clinical trials. The search was performed in three stages: database listing / pilot test; broad search/ application of the “PCC” strategy (population, concept, context); and full reading of the content. A total of 509 productions were retrieved and then managed using the Rayyan® software, of which 13 studies were selected. The protocol was registered in the Open Science Framework. Results: The total population consisted of 10,417 people aged from 60 to 109. The most frequent interventions included the physical dimension, for symptomatic control; the cultural dimension, in which the dilemmas present in an environment with a high expectation for recovery and rigid interventionist protocols were highlighted, as well as the communication dimension, which is a basic tool of palliative care. Conclusions: Elderly people with serious conditions can benefit from palliative care in the perioperative setting. However, there is a need for training nurses in pain management, empowerment to participate in ethical decisions, and training for better communication. It should be noted that evidence on interventions to improve palliative care is still limited by methodological flaws, so rigorous evaluations are needed to measure significant results for patients and care.

The aging of the working population and the increasing mental demands at work represent a challenge to the sustainability of working life and the organizations' competitiveness. Research has focused on thriving at work as a proxy for career sustainability, particularly in its final phase. However, there is limited knowledge about the mechanisms underlying the relationship between thriving and its antecedents. This study aims to examine the mediating role of work ability in the relationship between mental demands at work and thriving among older workers. A sample of 163 workers responded to an online questionnaire. Results support the mediation hypothesis, but the direct effect of mental demands on thriving was insignificant, emphasizing the importance of work ability. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim is to analyze how the pandemic produced a State of exception, in which the elderly have become objects of policies instead of subjects of rights in countries such as Mexico, Chile and Spain. Through the review of the population aging processes in these countries, as an unforeseen product of modernity, the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic among the elderly population of the countries in question and the measures taken, as well as some cases at the intra-national level, make visible that political decisions regarding the elderly are based on the valuation of this group in a logic of stratification by age, especially after the first "two waves" of contagion.

The collateral effects of a service co-design project for elders, conducted at the Industrial Design Research Centre of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) are analyzed from the standpoint of intergenerational solidarity. The participants were service design students and older women. Purpose: to know the collateral effects of the experience lived during the co-design project. The collateral effects for elders were found through a qualitative analysis: the subjects went from uncertainty to certainty, rediscovered youth, became open to change, experienced supplementary roles, strengthened discipline and consistency, reduced the technological gap and felt visible in their society. For students: they worked on assertive communication and analytical processes and were tangibly and noticeably in touch with the users in a real environment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aging of academics from the National System of Researchers (SNII) in Veracruz is addressed based on their experiences, expectations, prospects and loss of autonomy. To do this, a qualitative analysis is carried out of the concerns, fears, hopes and desires that older researchers have. Identification data that remains anonymous were collected and data on their social environment, health, work and retirement expectations were interpreted, topics that were addressed in the project from which this article is derived. The information collected shows that the aging process among the academics in the sample is perceived within a fixed time, but it advances in a time that does not stop and that in the long run leads to economic, physical, health, identity, meaning and changes. meaning.

Based on the film La vida empieza hoy, by Laura Mañá (2010), this article reflects on the social empowerment of the erotic and sexual positioning of the elderly today. From an artistic production, the analysis is based on the potential of art to create new systems of meaning that support the construction of the psyche. Through various scenes in the film, the social representations related to old age are addressed, the ways in which others enable or hinder desire and the possible contributions of psychoanalysis to think about subjective positioning throughout life and sexuality in a broad and driven sense, in dialogue with the other.

Introduction: Population aging has opened up a new and broad field of study for health science in which nursing must investigate to guarantee the health autonomy of older people. Objective: To make visible the Gerontological Day Centers (CDG) and the activities of nursing professionals in these centers in Huelva. Methodology: A qualitative investigation has been carried out using questionnaires and interviews directed at the management and nursing staff of several Day Centers in Huelva and the province. Results: The CDG are an intermediate resource with multiple objectives and functions, which offer quality of life for both the elderly and their families. They are made up of a basic team of professionals who work on a non-permanent basis. The role of nursing is essential, but it has a very poor employment situation. Conclusion: These centers provide professional care and allow them to remain in their usual homes, favoring the quality of life and autonomy of this older population. The bibliography on this topic is scarce, so it is considered necessary to deepen its research along with the implementation of programs and improvement proposals that make these sociohealth centers known.

Objective: This article aims to analyze violence against older adults in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic from the perspective of bioethics. It is a reflective article with a qualitative and descriptive approach focusing on the issue of violence against older adults during the COVID-19 pandemic, viewed through the lens of bioethics, specifically centered on the ethical principle of autonomy. Method: The article presents a narrative that addresses the following relevant aspects: the awareness movement concerning older adults, the importance of Health Education about older adults on social media, and bioethics and respect for the autonomy of older adults. Results: The promotion of strategies to reduce harm suffered by older adults who are victims of violence should include support for families and initiatives enabling access to public policies at various levels. Society and the government should create conditions to track down both perpetrators and victims, and provide assistance to older adults who have been victims of violence. It is also important to consider institutions that can accommodate older adults victimized by aggression. Conclusion: Conducting studies on the importance of interventionist bioethics is recommended to protect the rights of older adults through public policies ensuring access to healthcare and quality of life.

Sedentarism is an important aspect to be considered in the elderly, as physical activity helps both in physical and cognitive aspects. Therefore, studies involving different activities are needed to investigate the effects on these aspects. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of the Pilates Method on cognition, flexibility, muscular endurance and balance in a group of elderly people. Five elderly people participated (Experimental Group -EG) who took Pilates classes and a Control Group (CG) of five elderly people who only performed the initial and final evaluations, and remained four months without performing physical activities. The groups did not differ statistically in the analyzed variables. Despite this, improvements in perception, language and memory can be observed in the elderly in the EG. In the other cognitive domains, the performance between the groups was similar. Regarding flexibility, balance and abdominal resistance, maintenance or better performance was observed in all the elderly in the EG, the same was not observed in the CG group. It is concluded that the Pilates Method brings benefits to the elderly in terms of flexibility, resistance and balance. However, regarding the cognitive domains, it seems to contribute to language, memory and perception skills. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objective of this study was to understand the meaning of work in old age from the perspective of young and middle-aged adults in Mexico City. A total of 110 participants aged 18 to 59 years (M = 36.7, SD = 18) took part in the study. The Modified Natural Semantic Networks technique was used. The results yielded four semantic networks, and the defining terms with the highest Semantic Weight (SW) for each network core were: 1.- Tired (SW = 184) and Necessary (SW = 148); 2.- Responsible (SW = 155) and Active (SW = 150); 3.- Slow (SW = 265) and Good (SW = 218); 4.- Sadness (SW = 241) and Pride (SW = 183). It is concluded that the meaning of work in old age is characterized by the coexistence of both positive and negative beliefs, grouped into three dimensions: centrality, social norms, and the importance of work goals.

This study aimed to apprehend the social representations of depression among elderly women. 64 elderly women participated in the research, divided into two groups, with a mean age of 68.6 years (SD=7.2) and 68.5 (SD=8). The free word association technique was used, with data analyzed through prototypical analysis using the Iramuteq software. The results pointed to a positive SR of aging for the group of elderly women participating in conviviality groups for elderly people and negative for elderly women who did not participate in groups. The SR of depression were equivalent in both groups. In conclusion, the necessity and importance of permanent health education about depression was identified, focusing mainly on elderly women as a target audience. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
