Question Explanation

How Age of Patient Influences their Perceptions on Healthcare Delivery

Researchers have examined the various stages of life and their effects on the social, physical and cognitive development of an individual. The stages include prenatal development and the newborn; infancy and childhood; adolescence and adulthood (DeVoe, Wallace, & Fryer, 2009). Different stages of life present unique health care needs for an individual. This implies that the healthcare needs of an infant vary greatly from that of elderly persons due to variation in their physical, social and cognitive development. Empirical studies indicate that age of patients influences their perceptions towards healthcare delivery, including the professionals providing care.
