Brief Proposal – Joint mass program
Background
Some of the elders in the residential care center are lack of motivation in participating social and health related activities. It might hinder their development both mentally and physically. In long term, it might lead to their dissatisfaction in life fulfillment.
Rationale
Active Ageing is a concept which the WHO and worldwide countries are concerned in recent years. It is the process of optimizing opportunities for health, participation and security in order to enhance quality of life as people age. Life course perspective is emphasized and health maintenance should be throughout the whole life as to reduce functional disability and risk of some common chronic diseases in the aging process more effectively.
In response to the trend of aging, it is suggested that the individual’s responsibility for own health should be emphasized. Living healthily means different things to different people and each individual's experience of old age will be unique. It is realistic to acknowledge that change or loss might occur in old age, but it is still possible for them to maintain a good quality of life.
In order to raise the quality of life, a healthy lifestyle is one of the most important components that should be concerned. According to the Constitution of World Health Organization (WHO), healthy lifestyle is not solely as the absence of disease but a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being broadly. The estimation of well-being could be assessed by measuring the improvement of quality of life related to health care (WHO, 1997)
Elders are suggested to be given opportunity to make decision on their daily route as everyone should have their right to decide their own lifestyle. The WHO states that Quality of life is in relation to their goals, expectations, standards and concerns. The person’s physical health, psychological state, level of independence, etc. are involved in affecting one’s quality
