Brief Summary

  • As people become older they may start to have more than one health issue at one time.
  • Geriatricians are doctors who specialise in looking after older people.
  • A tool that geriatricians use is the Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA).
  • Its purpose is to make sure that all parts of an older person's health are looked after. This includes their physical, psychological, social, environmental, and functional health.
  • The problem with CGA is that sometimes it does not focus on what is important to the patient.
  • When a clinician makes sure that they are looking after the things that are most important to a patient this is called person-centred care.
  • The CGA-Q is a questionnaire. It aims to improve how person-centred someone's care.
  • This study aims to find out what people think of CGA-Q.
