Impact of age integration on the well-being of elderly tenants in public housing.

The social, psychological, and environmental situations of a national area probability sample of 1875 elderly tenants in 153 public housing sites were studied by means of interviews with tenants and project mangers and direct observation of social and environmental characteristics of the housing. In this report the association between the age mix of the housing and the well-being of the tenants was investigated. With a variety of personal, social, and physical environmental characteristics statistically controlled, age segregation showed small but reliable relationships to on-site activity participation, morale, housing satisfaction, and neighborhood motility. The results are discussed in terms of policy and planning designed to maximize options for the individual.

Standards to prevent complications of urinary catheterization in children: should and should-knots.

PURPOSE: To share standards for urinary catheterization developed at Children's Hospital, Washington, DC, to prevent complications from using feeding tubes, inserting intermittent catheters too far into the bladder, or not inserting Foley catheters far enough into the bladder. POPULATION: Infants and children requiring urinary catheterization. CONCLUSIONS: Using appropriate length urinary catheters and/or inserting catheterizing devices appropriate lengths based on sex, age, and purpose will help prevent knotting of catheters in the bladder and urethral trauma. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: Short urinary catheters should be used for intermittent urinary catheterization. If these are not available, standards for length of insertion of the catheterizing device should be followed. To prevent urethral trauma, Foley catheters should be inserted to the hub before inflation of the balloon.
