Age-related skin changes lead to increased susceptibility to skin damage and delayed wound healing, which is exacerbated by comorbidities such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes mellitus. In some cases, wound healing is not achievable or realistic and this needs to be reflected in the wound management plan. To improve outcomes and experience in older people presenting with wounds it is important to select wound management products that protect the wound bed and surrounding skin, minimise trauma, reduce symptoms and/or promote healing. This article explores how conducting holistic wound assessments, setting realistic treatment aims, and using wound management strategies tailored to each person's needs and wishes can have a positive effect on older people's quality of life.

BACKGROUND 'Elderspeak' has been defined as a form of communication overaccommodation used with older adults that typically involves inappropriate simplified speech. One aspect of elderspeak is the use of terms of endearment such as 'honey', sweetie' and 'dear'. There is disagreement regarding the use of terms of endearment with older adults, with differing views on whether it is beneficial or harmful. AIM To explore the perceptions of older adults residing in an assisted living facility on the use of terms of endearment by healthcare staff. METHOD This qualitative study used a descriptive phenomenological design. Semi-structured interviews were undertaken with 15 older adults regarding their perceptions of the use of terms of endearment. The data were analysed to identify themes. FINDINGS Two themes emerged from the interview data: 'it's a matter of opinion' and 'context matters'. Not all older adults viewed terms of endearment negatively; some liked them, others were neutral and some viewed them as childish or disrespectful. CONCLUSION Perceptions regarding the use of terms of endearment appear to differ among older adults. Therefore, the use of such terms should be individualised based on the preferences of the older adult.
背景 "长者用语 "被定义为一种与老年人沟通时的过度迁就，通常涉及不恰当的简化语音。长者用语的一个方面是使用 "亲爱的"、"甜心 "和 "亲爱的 "等爱称。AIM To explore the perception of older adults residing in an assisted living facility on the use of terms of endearment by healthcare staff.METHOD This qualitative study used a descriptive phenomenological design.对 15 名老年人进行了半结构式访谈，了解他们对使用敬语的看法。结果从访谈数据中发现了两个主题：这是一个见仁见智的问题 "和 "语境很重要"。并非所有老年人都对爱称持否定态度；有些人喜欢，有些人持中立态度，还有些人认为爱称是幼稚或不尊重。因此，应根据老年人的喜好个性化地使用这些词语。
