In the same way be believe it is important future users adapt this material to their national contexts, to your own methodology and especially to the specific profile of the senior learners to be educated.There might be differences in how power points are to be illustrated in different countries and to different learner groups. You are free to change the pictures & illustrations used at the power points. In the same way you are of course free to change or supplement with national statistical figures, if they are aviable. It is not the intention providing this material for this module , that you have to or shall use all the slides presented. The intention is, you pick out the most relevant slides that, that fits the time frame you have available for the presentation of this module and match the specific profile of the seniors you are going to educate.In the same way you are free to change the order of the powerpoints.The text, the suggestions of ?what could be said? in connection with the individual power point are for inspiration. As you will see, there are room at the different pages, so you may to write:Your own ideas how you will like to present the different slides. How you will like to put the facts and documentation into words. What you will like to tell the seniors. What questions you believe could be good for you to ask the senior learners to answer, to discuss a little, to reflect about.It is important you make your presentation in your own words. Create your own personal presentation but please stick to the facts as they are presented and avoid to present your own version of what you think ageing and what ageing period is about. 392620534798000right47371000We believe the pedagogical intention should be, to establish a dialogue with your senior learners based on the slides you present. Make sure you have time for that.It is important to be aware using power point very easily speed up the presentation, which might not be beneficial for all senior learnersIf it is possible to you, try to remember some of the information you are going to present. It might be a good idea to present some of the information, by chalk and blackboard or at a flip over. Make sure the seniors have time to think, time to reflect. Time to ask questions.It is serious to educate seniors have to avoid loosing their independent living later in life, howewer it is still important to have a good laugh once a while during the lessons. Consider have you might be able to present some of the statements the material provide, with a little humorous approach and a smilePrepare your self for a little resistance from some among your learners. You will probably meet resistance related to some of the results – statistics and the conclusions to make. To many senior learners some of the info and conclusions will be controversial as they don`t confirms or match, what many seniors believe, what many seniors assume as facts and what they have noticed and know from “their own experiences”.Try to avoid entering into long discussions – just refer to what science tells – what the statistics show.Some will also be critical. Make clear from the very begining that they overall frame of what you going to tell and show during the lessons to come, is:?We aren’t going to talk about training and exercising to become a participant for the next Olympics. You are going to talk about, what it takes, what it require of a little weekly effort, training and ongoing exercises to maintain or develop the daily activities that will make us stay independent for longer later in life.If any have ambition about making a world record it shold have been redeemed in our younger years.? SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES OF THIS PART.You find what the BEPRESEL partnership believe should be the objectives of this modul in the Curriculum: Senior Health Education – a BEtter PREparation for SEnior Life.231902084582000YOU COULD START:It will not take long – but never the less – a very important issue.We should all be able to measure – our Blood pressure.Problems with our blood pressure is one of the 8 key factors – pointed out by the Danish National Health Board – that might course a short cut to lose our independency.++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ADD YOUR OWN COMMENTS AND IDEAS FOR SPEAK AND PRESENTATION: 182880016002000YOU COULD START:Most of you are probably aware – know that we talk about 2 types of blood pressure – having these strange names.Diastolic blood pressure – when the heart rest – in between it beats – identically to the low figure - blood pressure.The systolic blood pressure is then the opposite – when it beat – identically to the high figure - blood pressure++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ADD YOUR OWN COMMENTS AND IDEAS FOR SPEAK AND PRESENTATION: 24777705270500YOU COULD START:Good figures to know – to be aware of.A little more detailed – the green area is ok – but of course being at level that is a little too high, you should go to the doctor to have a talk, about what it means.What is normal blood pressure?Blood pressure is measured in a unit of millimeter mercury (mmHg) as blood pressure, so far, is most often measured by a mercury manometer. It is indicated by two numbers, for example 120/80 (pronounced: 120 over 80). The highest pressure is called systolic blood pressure, and the lowest pressure is called diastolic blood pressure.For normal blood pressure, our systolic value (high number) should be between 100 and 140 and our diastolic value should be between 60-90 mmHg. When we measure our blood pressure, try first and measure after approx. 5 minutes rest and no coffee (or other caffeinated drinks) or smoked tobacco immediately before. As we grow older, many people experience that their blood pressure also rises. This happens when our pulses become stiffer and less resilient. Therefore, in the age of 70, it is not abnormal to have a systolic blood pressure of about 150.++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ADD YOUR OWN COMMENTS AND IDEAS FOR SPEAK AND PRESENTATION: 211455011430000YOU COULD START:About a fifth of the Danish population suffers from high blood pressure, and in fact, 30 percent are not aware of it. Could it be some of you?Do you know your blood pressure – the figures? ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ADD YOUR OWN COMMENTS AND IDEAS FOR SPEAK AND PRESENTATION: 2458085254000YOU COULD START:It is important to measure your blood pressure occasionally because high blood pressure can rarely be felt. A to high blood pressure increases the risk of a serious number of diseases such as blood clots and irregular heart rhythm. Elevated blood pressure is the main cause of cardiovascular disease.++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ADD YOUR OWN COMMENTS AND IDEAS FOR SPEAK AND PRESENTATION: 2451100317500YOU COULD START:If you have diabetes, or you know you are in high risk of cardiovascular diseases, your blood pressure should be even a lower.To be at risk means – That you know that you have family members who suffer or suffered from heart problems.That you are stressedThat you are overweight++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ADD YOUR OWN COMMENTS AND IDEAS FOR SPEAK AND PRESENTATION: 204470013335000YOU COULD START:And it is easy to learn and it is easy to do ourselves. It is quite cheap to buy our own little machine – around 30 or 40 euros. And it is good to have for more reasons:We measure best in the morning.The more we measure – the more comfortable we become with the process. Most of us reach a little nervous – when the doctor suddenly ask to measure our blood pressure.When you measure your blood pressure at the doctor, it may be elevated just because the situation is unknown, and you get a little nervous. Therefore, it is advisable for your doctor to measure your blood pressure several times during the consultation and perhaps during several consultations. Some have high blood pressure at their doctor because of the unusual situation. Many doctors therefore choose to provide patients with an electronic blood pressure device at home, which they themselves need in relaxed conditions.Shall we measure your blood pressure for your Senior Health profile – you may do it while I continue. I will suggest you do it twice – 30 minutes later - so you might become a little more familiar with the process.++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ADD YOUR OWN COMMENTS AND IDEAS FOR SPEAK AND PRESENTATION: -44450177800 ................
