Geriatrics population are socially cornered people. They left alone in their older days. Seniors when retired from their work are socially misanthropic. They encountered different types of metal disorders like; Anxiety, Depression etc...
There is a generation gap between older people and people of today`s generation. It is now time to address that gap and the young ones should try to engage elders in their family in different activity in which they feel comfortable, easy to manage, feel no hindrance due to old age disability, and make them socially engaged in their own age group.
Ageing population are at risk (as you said) at many diseases; physical and mental. In order to avoid such age related diseases, they must get participated in social activities. Their knowledge and experience should be valued. In this way now the concept of "Active ageing" has emerged.
Thank You Narendra Samantaray
I Need some more techniques. Since I am dealing with alot of older people with diversity among them. Both Males and Females who feel themselves alone and socially handicapped or may be cornered by their family members.
Thank You Dr. Samarakoon Mudiyanselage Samantha Samarakoon , I need some methods for implementation. There is a diversity in older people. Home maker females, ex-working ladies, Many old engineers, retired professors and alot more.
It is possible for them to participate in governmental organizations or public or private partnerships as advisors and everyone who has improved his scientific or professional specialization because most of them have extensive experience and expertise.
Yes. Based on their educational status and work experience, they may be assigned in many activities in the village. Some may be assigned as group leaders, advisors, listening to grievences, teachers in adult education and many more
Dr. Samarakoon Mudiyanselage Samantha Samarakoon Yes these could be some valuable activities for older population.
Thank You Dr. Hayder Raaid Talib for your contribution and participation in this discussion. Kindly recommend this discussion in your circle i want some more ideas.
in our country the older people lives with their families, but they needs to intensive care, medically, psychologically, & economically. they need to spend A happy time with others. well being life (quality of life)
AOA. Dr Umber. Its really wonderful to open this discussion. But we must see our present day challenges. Now a days every young male or female wants to live independently meaning thereby not to care for elders or our tradition of joint family system. I feel we need to refocus on joint family system and rally less on western life stlye or education
WaS Sir Asim Ch Thank You for the thoughtful idea you have shared. Now, question arises how to revive the tradition of joint family system?
