This book advocates the application of holistic and humanistic
approaches in elderly care and services to achieve the goal of
ageing with dignity in Hong Kong and Asia. It responds to the needs
of an increasing ageing population that has to deal with related
health needs in long-term care, community health and social
services, particularly for chronic conditions and psychosocial
support. The book consists of three sections on policy and
development of aged care, holistic and humanistic care for older
adults, and capacity building for ageing with dignity,
respectively. Topics include the latest initiatives in aged care,
appropriate services and delivery models, lifestyle modification,
psychosocial and environmental considerations, professional
development, technologies, and social capital. The chapters review
and discuss these issues within a global context, illustrated by
examples from Asian countries, underpinned by locally based
empirical research. Contributors include academics and
practitioners from diversified professional backgrounds that
include medicine, nursing, pharmacy, traditional Chinese medicine,
dietetics, and allied health. The book traverses into territories
in the social sciences, life sciences, and sports sciences, while
also touching on areas of business and administration, hospitality,
law, public policy, and information technology in connection with
public health. The contents serve as a topical reference for
tertiary studies in ageing and related disciplines such as
well-being and are also useful to policymakers, community and
public health practitioners, health executives and interns working
in areas of policy and practice pertinent to care development,
health delivery models, planning, quality, ethics, better health
promotion, professional training, and monitoring for older adults.
