| Popis: | Resiliency is a key aspect to aging successfully. Promoting healthy lifestyles, strong social bonds, enhancements to one's environment, accessibility to quality care and rehabilitation are critical in a positive aging experience. Issues of personal, social, medical, and rehabilitative care are addressed in the context of resiliency from a cultural perspective. Various research studies explore resiliency through the progression of aging within changing environments, medical needs, and social conditions. Findings suggest that a strong connection to culture, accessibility to medical attention, and comprehensive assessment of a patient's background can effectively improve the rehabilitation for an aging individual. This article addresses aspects of caregiving that are essential in raising cultural sensitivity and resiliency, discussing three case studies (i.e. fall risk; stroke; congestive heart failure) in the geriatric patient. Resiliency in culture and rehabilitation has a connection needed to advance the quality of care and quality of life for an aging patient population. |
