Abstract

Purpose: To investigate the association between cognition, social engagement, physical well-being, and emotional well-being in a diverse older population.

Method: A secondary data analysis was conducted using a factor score structural equation model in a multiethnic sample of African American, Afro-Caribbean, Hispanic American, and European American participants.

Results: Statistically significant (direct effects) between the latent constructs of physical well-being, emotional well-being, and social engagement were found. Model invariance testing suggests a partial invariance model with differences in life space, depression, and anxiety across racial/ethnic groups. As a mediator, social engagement significantly diminished the effects of emotional well-being (i.e., anxiety and depression) and increased the effects of physical well-being (Life Space Assessment and SF-36 Physical Component Summary: β = -0.07, standard error [SE] = 0.14, p = 0.045, and β = -0.15, SE = 0.14, p = 0.040, respectively) on cognition.

Conclusion: Results suggest good model fit and a critical role for social engagement in its impact on cognition. [Research in Gerontological Nursing, xx(x), xx-xx.].

期刊介绍： Research in Gerontological Nursing is a forum for disseminating peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary, cutting-edge gerontological nursing research and theory to investigators, educators, academicians, clinicians, and policymakers involved with older adults in all health care settings. The Journal accepts manuscripts reporting research, theory, integrative and systematic reviews, instrument development, and research methods with the aims of improving the wellness and quality of care of the older adult population. Theory papers should advance gerontological knowledge, and integrative reviews should provide an analysis of the state of the science and provide direction for future research.
