\n I had the course “Aged society and advanced age care” for the 4th grade medical students on 26 April in Uni. of Tsukuba.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"discuss\"<\/span>   I gave some themes about Aged society to the students and made them discuss it with each other.<\/span><\/p>\n

 After that, I gave a lecture “The feature of Japanese aged society, What cause the problem increasing of advanced age population in urban areas, and I teached the most important view when you provide the medical care for elderly people.
\n <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In particular, using the assessment tool “CGA: Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment” to care for elderly people is very important.<\/span><\/p>\n

I present the virtual case to the following students:<\/span>
\n  92 years old women, she was admitted for a pneumonia. <\/span>
\n  She will be discharged and will go back to her home, because she has recovered. <\/span>
\n  A physician noticed she always uses wheel chair in the hospital recently. <\/span>
\n  The physician wondered can she go back to her home in this situation ? <\/span>
\n  Because she could walk and living alone in her home before this episode. <\/span><\/p>\n

If you were the physician, how do you manage her best support and set up her living environment ? <\/span>
\nI asked the students and let the students discussed it with each other again. <\/span><\/p>\n

   Using CGA the comprehensive assessment tool for elderly people, we can get the following information about her.<\/span>
\n Activity of Daily Living, mental status, her economical status, how she needs livelihood support and so on.<\/span><\/p>\n

  Thus, CGA take the essential information to us giving the best care for elderly people.<\/span><\/p>\n
