Abstract

The aging phenomenon, a mark of contemporary society, has underscored the need to maintain and improve the health status of the elderly as well as their quality of life and to prevent their institutionalization. In a response to this need, the Foundation of the New York State Nurses Association has designed a unique and comprehensive health promotion program based on the cooperative efforts of volunteer nurses and consumers which is addressed to the well and frail elderly living in the community. This article discusses the various facets of the initial establishment of the process. More specifically, it focuses on the needs of the target population, the structure of the program, its curriculum, an evaluation comparing this effort with others, and the advantages accruing to the nursing profession.

摘要

老龄化现象作为当代社会的一个标志，凸显了维护和改善老年人健康状况及其生活质量以及防止他们被机构收容的必要性。为满足这一需求，纽约州护士协会基金会基于志愿者护士和消费者的共同努力，设计了一项独特而全面的健康促进计划，该计划面向居住在社区中的健康老年人和体弱老年人。本文讨论了该计划最初建立过程的各个方面。更具体地说，它关注目标人群的需求、计划的结构、课程设置、将这项工作与其他工作进行比较的评估，以及护理专业所获得的优势。
