THEORIES OF AGING.

Theories of aging, want expose an explanation of why aging occurs.

In this process there are a number of changes on the person which these theories try to explain, each from their point of view.

There are a number of theories emphasizing among them two large groups: the biological and psychosocial.

Based on these theories, we can make prevention and advice to the person on possible changes that will be appearing.

Each theory attempts to give an explanation for this process differently.

We have achieved the main objective, the independence of the person and involve them to live in a healthy environment.

The theory used in nursing is the LIFE COURSE THEORIES.

From my point of view during our life happens a series of changes and causes on the person, that deteriorate functions previously had and appearance changes.

I believe that the best way to combat the aging process, is coping with the changes happening in the person. Addressing this in a positive way I think is very important.

Life involves a series of stages that we all go. Since nursing is important to support the person in the changes and answer any questions that may arise to the person.

We understand it can be difficult for the person because it carries a deterioration and decay of health, a possible departure from the company, retirement and other. One of our roles is to encourage the person to maintain an active lifestyle and non-stop activities previously undertaken within their means.
