| Annotation | Some main reasons and circumstances for conflict and tension between older people, their families and the staff in various institutional settings are examined. Causes are classified into personal characteristics and cultural background, psychological reactions, division of tasks, dissatisfaction with care provided to the older person, type of setting, a facility's regime and policies, and unresolved familial conflicts and personal pressures. Strategies of intervention on a macro level and the roles of social workers in the context of these situations are discussed. (RH). |
