Population Ageing in Central and Eastern Europe
During the 1990s, Europe became the first continent with a 'mature society', where people aged 60 years and older outnumber children and as this trend continues, the resulting 'ageing societies' will differ from previous societies in their make-up, in their needs, and in their resource allocation. Population ageing poses an even greater challenge to the post-communist societies of Central and Eastern Europe. While still struggling to cope with the aftermath of the economic and social transition process following the breakdown of communism, they are now facing even more rapid demographic change than Western Europe. This book brings together leading scholars to present an understanding of the ...
Designing and Delivering Dementia Services
Dementia is increasingly and widely recognised as a serious health and social challenge, in the developed world as well as in the developing world. The need therefore to design and implement dementia care services of high quality is becoming more and more vital, particularly given the likelihood of ever increasing demand in a world, which likely sees resources at best remaining at current levels.

Interdisciplinary Perspectives on the Issues of Proof in Health Science
This book offers an interdisciplinary reflection on the scientific and ethical issues of the notion of proof in medicine. The book poses the following questions: why does an argument convince? How does one make a rational decision in the face of contradictory data? Why and how can we prioritize levels of evidence? What is the value of physicians' professional experience in the production of evidence? By asking these questions, this book highlights the debates surrounding the notions of robustness, relevance and statistical significance regarding different conceptions of the reliability of biomedical knowledge. It is intended for both biomedical scientists (clinicians, epidemiologists, biostatisticians, etc.) and researchers in the social sciences and humanities who are interested in the social organization of clinical trials and in decision-making in a context of uncertainty. It also provides a better understanding of social issues in specific contexts, such as gynecological care, prevention policies, significance tests, and the management of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Supporting Family Carers of Older People in Europe
The following publication offers an outline of a situation of family caregivers just before the significant changes brought about by the new legislation on social services will have occurred. That the timing is right since the publication proves that the situation of family caregivers must be substantially changed and improved. If there are any doubts regarding necessity of the new law on social services, this publication will belong to the ones that will help to overcome such presumptions.

Dlouhodobá péče
Monografie se zabývá problematikou, která dosud u nás prakticky není v literatuře diskutována: zdravotní problematikou chronických stavů způsobujících disabilitu, které jsou v našich podmínkách a v našem zdravotnictví považovány za „casus sociales“. Zdravotní problematika těchto pacientů je velmi komplexní a náročná jak na znalosti, tak postoje zdravotnických pracovníků a jejich schopnost nejen zvládat tyto složité zdravotní situace, ale také koordinovat zdravotní péči v týmech složené z dalších pracovníků, včetně pracovníků v sociálních službách. Jednotlivé kapitoly publikace jsou věnovány problematice funkčního stavu a hodnocen...

Grenzgänge zwischen Erwerbsarbeit und Ruhestand
Erwerbstätigkeit im Ruhestandsalter hat im öffentlichen, politischen und akademischen Diskurs in den letzten Jahren an Bedeutung gewonnen. Die Beschreibung des Entscheidungsprozesses für oder gegen eine fortgeführte Erwerbstätigkeit über die Grenzen des Ruhestandsalters hinaus ist für Deutschland bisher nur lückenhaft vorgenommen worden.
