• W91788275 abstract "Reaching and properly serving older men can be a challenge for practitioners. The chronic health conditions that men face in their later years create a need for effective patient education and outreach as well as a systemic approach to the configuration of malefriendly interventions and communications. But just how do we reach this population, and why do many healthcare and social service practitioners continue to use methods of outreach that may prove ineffective or even put older men potentially at risk? PRINCIPLES OF PRACTICE WITH OLDER MEN When working one-on-one with an older man, one cannot ignore the proverbial elephant in the room: the social expectations that affect how a man perceives his role within the healthcare relationship. Social expectations have the capacity to help a man feel uncomfortable or comfortable in knowing what behavior is expected of him. Because of this, practitioners who work with older men must be cognizant of their own potential biases and expectations concerning older men. To maximize objectivity, clinical interventions with this group must be not only informed by sound research but also augmented by the accumulanon of professional experiences of working with older men. Of course, practitioner bias affects both the delivery and efficacy of service provision to older men as it does with any population. For example, a female-centered intervention philosophy, while not faulty in and of itself, when applied to men has the potential of altering service strategies such mat older men are rendered largely invisible and as a consequence are likely to be underserved (Thompson, 1994). Awareness that women experience special, if not additional, difficulties associated with the aging experience should not lead to an assumption that older men are immune to the concerns and potentially deleterious effects of growing old (Kaye, 2000). In particular, practitioners must keep in mind that many older men believe mat a stigma is attached to seeking help. Depending on their particular circumstances and inclinations, resistance to asking for help may have kept them from taking advantage of needed healmcare services throughout their adult lives. Another important consideration for healthcare providers is the importance of understanding the unique experiences and concerns of older men. Older men often have different perspectives surrounding life-course milestones and role transitions when compared to women (Kaye and Crittenden, 2005). Developmentally normative and non-normative events contribute to men feeling compelled to redefine themselves and the roles they fulfill as they age. Consequently, a gender-sensitive screening process would ideally include explicit consideration of areas in which men have been found to be particularly vulnerable. Such a process would explore potentially important transitions in the individual man's life in anticipation of the personal changes that accompany the aging process. Practitioners who interact with older men should encourage these clients in particular to visit a physician on a regular basis for many reasons. Indeed, though men tend to contract more serious, even life-threatening, chronic illnesses than do their female counterparts, men tend to visit a physician less often throughout adulthood. The consequence of such behavior is that many older men are forgoing the benefits of preventive care (Charmaz, 1995; Cherry, Burt, and Woodwell, 2003; National Center for Health Statistics, 2002). Another concern is that the mental health complaints of older men often have physical correlates that require attention by a medical professional. A case in point is the dose relationship that exists between depression, alcoholism, stress, and physical decline. A third concern is that many older men of color have experienced limited access to healthcare throughout their lives and are thus at elevated risk. Older African American men are of special concern because they have higher rates of chronic illness than their white counterparts and are also more likely to receive inadequate treatment for their medical conditions (Staples, 1995). …" @default.
