Abstract

The number of older subjects is rapidly increasingly worldwide. As a consequence, the nature of clinical conditions is also changing. Traditional medicine and models of care have been based on the evaluation and treatment of single and usually acute conditions occurring in relatively young individuals. Today, the usual clinical manifestation of diseases is characterized by multiple and often chronic conditions affecting older people. In this scenario, frailty and dementia have been triggering special interest both in research and clinical settings due to their high prevalence, impact on the individual’s quality of life, and consequences for public health worldwide. These conditions aptly reflect the complexity of age-related pathological conditions, finding as causal factor a myriad of heterogeneous, interacting, and often still unclear pathophysiological processes. Indeed, their study is strongly affected by the difficulty to differentiate the effects of a normal aging process from eventual pathological deviations of the underlying systems. Their occurrence and trajectories over time are strongly affected by a wide array of factors and determinants that can be hardly attributed to the deficit/involvement of single biological systems and/or health domains. Moreover, environment and social factors also play a key role in the determination of phenotypes. The present Research Topic is aimed at widening our understanding of the frailty and dementia phenomena occurring with aging, in order to improve the clinical and public health approaches to these burdening conditions.

Abstract

Les personnes avec une maladie d'Alzheimer sont généralement perçues comme "incompétentes" (chaleureuses mais incompétentes) (O'Connor & McFadden, 2012). Il s'agit dans ce cas d'un stéréotype dit "paternaliste" qui engendrerait des émotions et attitudes "paternalistes" (Fisk & al., 2002). Selon Werner (2006), plus nous percevons les personnes avec une maladie d'Alzheimer comme "incompétentes", plus nous sommes susceptibles d'avoir des émotions "prosociales" (c'est-à-dire : se soucier de l'autre, avoir envie de le protéger et de l'aider / principe également des attitudes dites "paternalistes"). Ainsi, nous nous attendons à ce que plus les aidants perçoivent les personnes Alzheimer comme incompétentes, plus ils expriment un comportement d'aide (attitude prosociale / attitude paternaliste). Or, il a été démontré que "l'aide excessive" peut être nuisible, et ce aussi bien pour la personne aidée que pour l'aidant. La personne aidée peut, lorsqu'elle reçoit un soutien ou de l'aide de manière excessive, devenir plus dépendante que ce qu'elle n'est initialement (Avorn & al., 1983; Bonsang & al. 2013). L'aidant quant à lui, risque de se surcharger en procurant de l'aide non-indispensable, ce qui augmenterait sa détresse/épuisement (Malaquin-Pavan & Pierrot, 2007).

Abstract

The authors have developed the ethical imagination inviting a sense of “otherness” towards the vulnerable self, rebounding care for the other as a way to understand our everyday neurotic (normal) tendency of small vices as the propensity and possibility for responsibility towards the other. The authors, inviting the reader into troublesome feelings such as laziness and anger, bring a Levinasian horizon into focus, so that even in the midst of laziness, there remains the small goodness to set the self free to care for the other, meeting the demands, challenges, hesitation, shuddering, tension and shocks of such alterity, of living “otherwise”.

Abstract

Family Caregiving in the New Normal discusses how the drastic economic changes that have occurred over the past few years have precipitated a new conversation on how family care for older adults will evolve in the future. This text summarizes the challenges and potential solutions scientists, policy makers, and clinical providers must address as they grapple with these changes, with a primary focus given to the elements that may impact how family caregiving is organized and addressed in subsequent decades, including sociodemographic trends like divorce, increased participation of women in
