Despite being a collection of holistic assessment tools, the comprehensive geriatric assessment primarily focuses on the social category of age during the assessment and disregards for example gender. This article critically reviews the standardized testing process of the comprehensive geriatric assessment in regard to diversity-sensitivity. I show that the focus on age as social category during the assessment process might potentially hinder positive outcomes for people with diverse backgrounds of older patients in relation to other social categories, such as race, gender or socio-economic background and their influence on the health of the patient as well as the assessment and its outcomes. I suggest that the feminist perspective of intersectionality with its multicategorical approach can enhance the diversity-sensitivity of the comprehensive geriatric assessment, and thus improve the treatment of older patients and their quality of life. By suggesting an intersectional-based approach, this article contributes to debates about justice and diversity in medical philosophy and advocates for the normative value of diversity in geriatric medicine.

老年护理的女权主义方法:综合老年评估、多样性和交叉性

尽管是综合评估工具的集合,综合老年评估在评估过程中主要侧重于年龄的社会类别,而忽略性别等。本文批判性地回顾了综合老年人评估在多样性敏感性方面的标准化测试过程。我表明,在评估过程中将年龄作为社会类别的重点可能会阻碍具有不同背景的老年患者相对于其他社会类别(例如种族、性别或社会经济背景及其对健康的影响)的积极结果患者的情况以及评估及其结果。我建议交叉性的女权主义观点及其多分类方法可以增强综合老年评估的多样性敏感性,从而改善老年患者的治疗和他们的生活质量。通过提出一种基于交叉的方法,本文有助于关于医学哲学中的正义和多样性的辩论,并倡导老年医学多样性的规范价值。
