Book Description
Évaluation sur six mois de la qualité de vie des aidants naturels des patients Alzheimer après l'entrée en institution. Introduction : En France près de 900000 patients sont touchés par la maladie d'Alzheimer, ils sont 70 % à vivre au domicile, souvent accompagnés jusqu'à l'entrée en institution par des aidants familiaux qui voient leur qualité de vie se dégrader au fil du temps. Ces aidants souffrent majoritairement d'isolement social, de dépression et d'incertitude concernant l'avenir de leurs proches. L'entrée en institution est une étape particulièrement difficile pour ce couple aidant-aidé. Objectif : Évaluation de l'évolution sur une période de six mois de la qualité de vie des aidants naturels de patients atteints de la maladie d'Alzheimer après l'entrée en institution. Résultats : La population de l'étude est de soixante aidants, interrogés à l'inclusion puis à six mois de suivi. Trente-neuf pour cent des aidants ont un risque élevé de dépression sans tendance à l'amélioration à 6 mois. L'évaluation du fardeau à l'inclusion retrouve un score moyen de 31,9 soit une charge légère mais pas d'amélioration significative (p=0,79) dans le temps. La qualité de vie étudiée avec la SF12 retrouve une qualité de vie moyenne qui ne s'améliore pas avec le temps en ce qui concerne le score de vie physique. Une tendance à l'amélioration est observée pour le score de vie mental et social (p=0,09). Une amélioration significative a été obtenue pour le domaine isolé de la santé mentale (p= 0,03). Conclusion : La qualité de vie des aidants de patients atteints de maladie d'Alzheimer ne s'améliore pas significativement après l'entrée en institution. Il est donc important de leur proposer un suivi psychologique particulier et de signaler leur cas aux médecins traitants pour qu'ils bénéficient d'un suivi médical attentif.

Book Description
De plus en plus de personnes âgées sont hospitalisées et la question de leur devenir après une hospitalisation notamment en soins de suite polyvalents se pose très régulièrement. Si les facteurs de risque d'institutionnalisation ont été largement étudiés, aucune étude ne s'intéresse à l'influence de qualité de vie des personnes âgées hospitalisées mais aussi celle estimée par leurs aidants naturels sur leur devenir. Une étude prospective a été réalisée dans le service de soins de suite polyvalents du centre hospitalier de Luçon auprès de 30 patients âgés de 75 ans et plus et de leurs aidants naturels. Nous avons comparé les scores obtenus à l'échelle de la Qol-AD par les patients et leurs aidants en fonction de leur devenir, à savoir retour à domicile ou entrée en EHPAD, en sortie d'hospitalisation et à 3 mois de leur sortie. Si la qualité de vie perçue par les patients âgés ne semble pas influencer leur devenir après hospitalisation, la qualité de vie des patients estimée par leurs aidants naturels semble bien influencer leur devenir à 3 mois de leur sortie. L'approche du devenir par la notion de qualité de vie permet de replacer les sujets âgés au centre des préoccupations et d'aborder avec les aidants les difficultés rencontrées à domicile.

Book Description
An authoritative and comprehensive history of post-revolutionary Mexico by two of the country’s leading intellectuals. Héctor Aguilar Camín and Lorenzo Meyer set out to fill a void in the literature on Mexican history: the lack of a single text to cover the history of Mexico during the twentieth century. In the Shadow of the Mexican Revolution, covers the Mexican Revolution itself, the gradual consolidation of institutions, the Cárdenas regime, the “Mexican economic miracle” and its subsequent collapse, and the recent transition toward a new historical period. The authors explore Mexico’s turbulent recent history as it becomes increasingly intertwined with that of the United States. First published in Spanish as A la sombra de la Revolución Mexicana, this English-language edition offers US readers an intelligent and accessible study of their neighbor to the south.

Book Description
Biosocialities, Genetics and the Social Sciences explores the social, cultural and economic transformations that result from innovations in genomic knowledge and technology. This pioneering collection uses Paul Rabinow’s concept of biosociality to chart the shifts in social relations and ideas about nature, biology and identity brought about by developments in biomedicine. Based on new empirical research, it contains chapters on genomic research into embryonic stem cell therapy, breast cancer, autism, Parkinson’s and IVF treatment, as well as on the expectations and education surrounding genomic research. It covers four main themes: novel modes of identity and identification, such as genetic citizenship the role of institutions, ranging from disease advocacy organizations and voluntary organizations to the state the production of biological knowledge, novel life-forms, and technologies the generation of wealth and commercial interests in biology. Including an afterword by Paul Rabinow and case studies on the UK, US, Canada, Germany, India and Israel, this book is key reading for students and researchers of the new genetics and the social sciences – particularly medical sociologists, medical anthropologists and those involved with science and technology studies.

Book Description
The life course method compares an individual's long-life and late-life behaviors to gauge one's mental decay. Arguing the life course approach is the best and simplest model for tracking mental development, Lawrence J. Whalley unlocks the mysteries of brain functionality, illuminating the processes that affect the brain during aging, the causes behind these changes, and effective coping strategies. Whalley identifies the genetic factors that determine the pace of aging and the behaviors, starting in childhood, that influence how we age. Through vignettes, charts, and tables, he composes an accessible book for patients, family members, and caretakers struggling to make sense of a complex experience.

Book Description
Community care lies at the intersection of day-to-day life and the public world of service provision. Using the lens of one particular activity - bathing - this book explores what happens when the public world of professionals and service provision enters the lives of older and disabled people. In doing so it addresses wider issues concerning the management of the body, the meaning of carework and the significance of body care in the ordering of daily life. Bathing - the Body and Community Care provides an engaging text for students and will be of interest to a wide range of audiences, both social science and health science students and nursing and allied professionals

Book Description
What are the realities of ‘community care’ – the unpaid care given by hundreds of thousands of women, often in their own homes – for children and adults who are handicapped or chronically sick, or for frail elderly people? Originally published in 1983, this book explores the experiences of such women and the dilemmas which ‘caring’ poses for them. At a time when most women needed to earn money from a paid job, how did ‘carers’ manage to juggle their caring and other domestic responsibilities, and what happened if they had to give up work? Against a background of government policies which favour care ‘by’ the community, the contributors to this book raise crucial issues for social and economic policy. Hilary Graham examines what caring really means and Clare Ungerson asks why women do it. Sally Baldwin and Caroline Glendinning focus on mothers with handicapped children and Fay Wright on single adults with elderly dependants. Alan Walker highlights the dependencies implicit in caring relationships with the elderly. Lesley Rimmer looks at the economic ‘costs’ of care, and Dulcie Groves and Janet Finch examine the invalid care allowance – a carers’ benefit for which married women can never qualify. In exploring the domestic sector of welfare, A Labour of Love was a highly topical contribution to the debate both on welfare provision and on the division of labour between men and women at the time.
