Journal Title: PARIPEX-Indian Journal of Research - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 5
Abstract
Family caregiving for older adult is a vital concern in the contemporary society. The traditional Indian extended and joint family system has undergone changes due to factors such as mobility from rural to urban centres and transnational flow. This has increased the number of old age homes in our country. The stay in institution has changed the life of the old age population.Those who are frail and in need of emotional and social support, receive less care, and those who are more active and physically strong, are less available to provide support for old family members. The present study made an attempt to understand the attitude of elderly towards life who are staying in the institution and home-based context. The data was collected from Bhopal and N=255 elderly were part of the study. The study came out with the result that elderly staying with the family (166.37±27.83) portrayed a positive attitude towards life than the institution-based elderly (115.11±32.59).
