Can Civil Organisations Support Manchester's Older Adults to Remain Healthy, and Dwell in their Communities Despite Chronic Health Conditions?

本研究的目的是通过混合方法分析权力下放对社区内患有慢性病的老年人的影响。我将遵循解释主义的认识论框架，研究将分为三个阶段（如下）。该研究将在曼彻斯特不断变化的健康和社会保健环境中回答以下问题。曼彻斯特权力下放对老年人在社区中患有慢性病的经历有什么影响？卫生和社会护理专业人员如何配备路标老年人，并参与社区资产和旨在减少社会孤立，促进福祉和使人们留在原地的倡议？当前的政策在使患有慢性病的老年人能够独立地在社区中过上健康的生活方面有多有效？

The aim of this study is to analyse the impact of devolution on older adults' living with chronic conditions within their community through a mixed methodological approach. I will follow an epistemological framework of interpretivism and the study will be in three stages (as below). The research will answer the following questions within a changing health and social care landscape in Manchester. What is the impact of Devolution Manchester on older adults' experiences of living with chronic conditions in their community? How equipped are health and social care professionals to signpost older adults to, and engage with community assets and initiatives that seek to reduce social isolation, promote wellbeing and enable people to remain in place? How effective are current policies in enabling older adults living with chronic conditions to age well in their communities independently?
