Need to pay attention to health examination and consultation for the elderly

The elderly are people with a lot of life experience and are also vulnerable to psychological trauma and health decline over time, so they need more attention from family members and society.

Family is an extremely important foundation for the elderly to live happily and healthily. The older a person is, the more their health declines, and more diseases appear, such as bone and joint pain that makes it difficult for the elderly to move, high blood pressure, and diabetes. Therefore, the elderly need regular health check-ups.

Medical staff visit elderly people at home for health check-ups.

The elderly are also one of the subjects under the management of the health station. For example, in Tan Phu commune, Can Duoc district, Long An province, in 2024, the commune health station coordinated with Can Duoc district health center to organize periodic health check-ups for the elderly in the commune. Accordingly, over 400 elderly people were examined and given medicine periodically every year, reaching a rate of over 98% according to the assigned target.

In addition, Tan Chanh Commune Health Station also coordinated with the Elderly Association and the Red Cross Association to visit and give gifts to more than 10 elderly people at home. In order to encourage and visit the health of the elderly and better understand the wishes of the elderly. At the elderly's family, Tan Chanh Health Station staff also advised the elderly to exercise at home, checked the elderly's blood pressure, advised relatives to take care of and change the elderly's lifestyle in a positive direction, ensuring a stable mentality for the elderly to avoid negative thoughts, creating an optimistic and loving life.

Old age is an important stage in human life, with attention to the physiological and pathological characteristics of the age group, it is also necessary to pay attention to the psychological and social issues of the elderly. With the general changes in the psychology of the elderly, a part of the elderly often changes their temperament. Family members need to sympathize and understand to share with the elderly in the family. The psychology of the elderly has certain instability, so we need to learn in detail to easily create harmony in the family. The younger generations need to prepare mentally to accept this reality in order to have appropriate behaviors and need to care and worry more for the elderly, regularly talk and encourage the elderly to exercise to improve the physical and mental health of the elderly. Especially taking care of the material and spiritual life of the elderly, especially the lonely elderly without support.
