Structural equation modeling was used to assess the extent to which physical activity mediated the relationships between depression and age, and education. Associations between variables were explored using multivariable logistic regressions.Results: Analyses were based on a sample of 3974 older adults (aged ≥60 years). Only 12.2% of older adults had depression. Age was positively associated with the odds of depression. Better educated older adults were less likely to experience depression than less educated older adults. Physical activity fully mediated the association between depression and age, whereas it partially explained the depression-education relationship.Conclusions: Older age and low educational levels were risk factors for depression, and physical activity was identified as a mediator.Clinical implications: Older and less-educated older adults should be encouraged to participate in physical activity, and those at risk of depression should be given special attention.","PeriodicalId":10376,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Gerontologist","volume":" ","pages":"1-13"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141449876","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Building on the transactional theory of stress and coping, this study explores the role of self-efficacy and coping style in the association between sleep quality and frailty among community-dwelling older adults.Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 585 community-dwelling older adults were investigated using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Tilburg Frailty Indicator, General Self-Efficacy Scale, and Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire. Descriptive statistics and hierarchical regression were performed. A moderated mediation model was established using the PROCESS macro.Results: Poor sleep quality affects frailty directly (B = 0.193, p < .01) and indirectly via self-efficacy (B = 0.063, p < .01). The negative impact of poor sleep on frailty through self-efficacy was moderated by both positive and negative coping style (index = -0.007). The moderating effect was stronger when participants' negative coping tendencies increased.Conclusions: Poor sleep quality indirectly influences frailty by modifying self-efficacy. Effective coping strategies can help attenuate this association.Clinical implications: Timely sleep assessment and tailored strategies such as psychoeducational programs and targeted coping skills training may be beneficial for preventing frailty in older adults.","PeriodicalId":10376,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Gerontologist","volume":" ","pages":"1-13"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141179232","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to explore the relationships between family functioning and quality of life (QOL) among community-dwelling older adults with insomnia, as well as to explore the mediating role of sleep quality in this relationship.Methods: The participants were 225 older adults with insomnia from community health service centers in Chongqing, China. The Family Care Index (APGAR) was used to assess family functioning, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was used to assess sleep quality, and the 36-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) was used to assess QOL.Results: The results showed that family functioning would be positively associated with QOL (p = .005) and that this relationship would be partially mediated by higher sleep quality (p < .001).Conclusions: Family functioning has a direct effect on QOL and an indirect effect on QOL through the regulation of sleep quality.

However, little research has addressed reducing internalized ageism. Thus, Reimagine Aging, a 6-week process-based intervention to reduce internalized ageism, was designed and implemented, using education, acceptance and commitment therapy, and attributional retraining to target theoretically based mechanisms of change.Methods: Seventy-two older adults (M = 70.4 years, SD = 6.4 years) participated in Reimagine Aging, consented to participate in this robust single-sample pilot study, and provided valid data. Participants completed questionnaires prior to, immediately following, and 2 months after the intervention.Results: Participants' self-perceptions of aging (<math><msubsup><mi>η</mi><mi>p</mi><mn>2</mn></msubsup></math>=0.37, p < .001) and perceptions of older adults (<math><msubsup><mi>η</mi><mi>p</mi><mn>2</mn></msubsup></math>=0.27, p < .001) became significantly more positive, associated with large effect sizes. Furthermore, these positive gains were mediated by increases in psychological flexibility, mindfulness, and perceived control.Discussion: This study provides initial support for this process-based intervention targeting a reduction of internalized ageism.Clinical implications: This program has the potential to reduce the negative impact internalized ageism has on the health of older adults. Furthermore, it provides novel insights into intervention targets and tools that may be useful in achieving this reduction.","PeriodicalId":10376,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Gerontologist","volume":" ","pages":"1-14"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141080808","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Outcomes were assessed at baseline (T1), after (T2), 3 months after (T3), and 12 months after the intervention (T4).Results: There was a significant decrease in depressive symptoms across both arms with Cohen's d T4-T1 = .52 in the psychotherapy and .55 in the control group.

It included weekly training sessions and daily practices of loving-kindness meditation in small groups via telephone conferences for six weeks and an extended group meditation practice for another six weeks.Methods: Community-living older adults (age 60+) with multiple chronic conditions and experiencing social isolation were recruited. Each participant was assessed at the pretest, posttest, and follow-up (6 and 12 weeks after pretest). Outcome measures included social interaction, loneliness, and depressive symptoms. Open-ended questions were asked in the posttest and follow-up.Results: Sixteen individuals enrolled, and fourteen completed the program (87.5% retention). Completers showed high levels of adherence (95% attendance to training) and acceptability and a statistically significant increase in social interaction at follow-up. Qualitative data suggest that participants experienced changes in emotion regulation, motivation and confidence, and sense of belonging.Conclusions: A group-based telephone-delivered meditation intervention targeting chronically ill older adults who experience social isolation is technically feasible, very acceptable, and potentially beneficial to them.Clinical implications: Older adults enjoy learning meditation.

Caregivers (n = 403) were respondents (aged 50+) who assisted their heterosexual spouses in performing (instrumental) activities of daily living at baseline. Non-caregivers were matched using a propensity score matching procedure based on baseline characteristics. Insomnia symptoms were measured every 4 years for both groups. Poisson mixed-effect models estimated the association between caregiver status and insomnia symptoms.Results: Compared to matched non-caregivers, caregivers had similar severity of insomnia symptoms at baseline (<math><mrow><msub><mrow><mrow><mi>β</mi></mrow></mrow><mrow><mrow><mrow><mi>caregiver</mi></mrow></mrow></mrow></msub></mrow></math> = 0.018, 95% CI = -0.089, 0.124) and reported a similar yearly change rate (<math><mrow><msub><mrow><mrow><mi>β</mi></mrow></mrow><mrow><mrow><mrow><mi>caregiver</mi></mrow></mrow><mo>×</mo><mrow><mrow><mi>time</mi></mrow></mrow></mrow></msub></mrow></math> = -0.008, 95% CI = -0.017, 0.001).
