In this regard, the purpose of this study was to investigate the predicting role of the difficulties in emotional regulation on the duration of persistence and intensity of perceived pain in the elderly and the structural relationships between emotional regulation and the general severity of pain perception in these individuals. Method: The present research is a correlation study. The sample consisted of 251 elderly who had pain in at least one area of their body. This sample was selected using a multi-stage purposeful sampling method from among the elderly in the Centers of daily aging in Shiraz. To collect data, the Persian version of the Difficulties in Emotional Regulation Scale (DERS), the McGill Pain Questionnaire and Pain Information Questionnaire were used. Data were analyzed by correlation, regression, and structural equation modeling method using SPSS 18 and LISREL 8.80 software. Results: The results of regression showed that among components of difficulty in emotional regulation, limited access to strategies, difficulty in achieving goals and lack of emotional awareness, predict the overall severity of pain perception, and limited access to strategies can predict pain duration in elderly. Also, structural equation modeling results showed that the difficulties in emotional regulation is related to the general severity of pain perception in the elderly and can affect it (R2=0.11). Conclusion: In general, according to the findings of this study, it can be said that the components of difficulty in emotional regulation can predict elderly pain perception and these two construction are structurally related. These results can have various theoretical and practical implications in identifying the factors associated with aging pain perception and pain control in these individuals.","PeriodicalId":15922,"journal":{"name":"Journal of gerontology","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91275301","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Knowledge, participation of the elderly and self-care behaviors play an important role in diabetes treatment and preventing its side effects. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of educational intervention on knowledge and self-care in the elderly with type 2 diabetes mellitus in Khorzugh city, Isfahan province. Method : This interventional quasi-experimental study was performed on 80 available diabetic elderly people in 1396 in Khorzugh, Isfahan. Participants were randomly divided into two intervention and control groups. The intervention was designed in 3 sessions (45 minutes) for the intervention group and 2 sessions for elderly and their relatives in two direct and indirect methods. Two months after completing the intervention, a post-test was performed. For data collection, a researcher made questionnaire was used. For analyzing the data, descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation), Kolmogorov Smirnov test, Chi-Square tests, t-test and paired t-test were done using in SPSS16 software. Results: Comparing the mean scores of knowledge (P = 0.860) and self-care (P = 0.875), there was no significant difference between two intervention and control groups before intervention, but after the intervention, the mean scores of knowledge and self-care in the intervention group were significantly more than control group (P < 0.001). Also, at level of physical activity (P = 0.651) and regular use of drug (P = 0.551) between the intervention and control groups after the intervention, and the mean scores of knowledge (P = 0.563) and self-care (P=0.237) in control group before and after the intervention, there was no significant difference (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Knowledge level, self-care education and, therefore, self-care behavior of the elderly have a vital role in controlling diabetes and preventing its complications.

Khorzoghi, M. Sahebozamani, M. Karimi","doi":"10.29252/JOGE.3.1.35","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.29252/JOGE.3.1.35","url":null,"abstract":"Introduction: Falling is considered one of the most common problems of aging. Researchers believe that reducing the balance is the main factor in falling the elderly. In this regard, the present study aims to comparison of the effectiveness of 8-week UF combined field training and tele-exercise program on static and dynamic equilibrium parameters of the ederly Man. Method: This semi-experimental study was conducted in Isfahan, sixty healthy elderly men, aged 60-70 years old, had the ability to perform exercise activities, were selected through purposeful sampling and randomly divided into two experimental (field and tele-exercise) and control groups. Both experimental groups received intervention, exercise program sessions for 8 weeks, 3 sessions per week, and 90 minutes each session. A training program based on the UF training system was designed and implemented. Parameters related to static and dynamic balance were evaluated through a motion analysis device with seven cameras. For initial evaluations, a researcher-made questionnaire and a Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) were used. Descriptive statistics were used for data analysis and their homogeneity and ANOVA for repeated measurements were used to analyze the data. SPSS version 24 was also used to perform statistical processes. Results: The results showed that all three experimental and field experiments (tele-exercise) and control with age (P = 0.26), height (P = 0.08), body weight (P= 0/92), body weight index (P = 0.95), fitness fitness index (P = 0/43), mental health index (P= 0/54), and general health (P = 0/63 = 0) are homologous. The use of a combination exercise program as a teleexercise and field exercise significantly increased some of the static balance parameters such as COP Excursion AP (P= 0/023) and ML (P= 0/019), Path Length AP (P= 0/001) and ML (P= 0/001), COP Velocity AP (P= 0/001) and ML (P= 0/001) have a significant difference (P<0.05), This case was also obtained in the internal-external stability of the step width, which is one of the dynamic balance parameters(P<0.05). However, in the same period, in the group that did not practice the exercise program, there was no significant change in any of the parameters of static and dynamic balance (P>0.05). Conclusion: Regarding the findings of the research, It can be deduced that regular and continuous use of a 8-week combined exercise program such as Tele-exercise and field exercise can be considered as a good alternative to field training programs due to the improvement of static and dynamic balance parameters.. Meanwhile, Tele-exercises seem to be more effective for the elderly age group because of the reduction of dangers outside the home and placement in matched groups, and pave the way for healthy aging and healthy living in this period of life.
