How can older adults be supported to manage their chronic conditions?
Learn how family members can help — or hinder — chronic illness management in the June issue of CARE Connections, the monthly newsletter of the SoN’s Center for Aging Research and Education. Here’s an excerpt:
A little empathy also goes a long way. “Patients often feel misunderstood. ‘You don’t know how hard it is to do, when you tell me to do X, Y, Z.’”
This month’s CARE Connections also includes a volunteer opportunity to help nursing students understand older adults’ perspectives; a profile of CARE Affiliate Lisa Bratzke, PhD, RN, ANP-BC, FAHA; and news and events related to older adult health and well-being.
