However, evidence for nursing activities regarding nutritional care is often lacking. Therefore, intervention development is necessary. From earlier studies, an evidence-based nutritional intervention carried out by nurses appeared the best solution. The aim of this study was to outline the steps taken to develop a complex nursing intervention to prevent and treat malnutrition in older adults and the challenges faced during this stage. Following the phase of intervention development of the Medical Research Council (MRC) Framework, a systematic review, a questionnaire survey, semi-structured interviews, focus groups and participant observation were carried out. The purpose was to gather information about current nursing practice and context, the needs of future users and providers, and gain insight into the problem. The studies showed that nurses had moderate knowledge of (mal)nutrition. They gave nutritional care low prioritization during daily nursing activities. These results provided insight that the intended nursing nutritional intervention would most likely lead to a misfit with the context. To fit the intervention properly into nursing practice, it was decided to develop an educational intervention targeting nurses instead of a nutritional intervention carried out by nurses. Building proofs in context leads to challenges but is essential to prevent a misfit between complex nursing interventions and nursing practice. As an element of rigorous intervention development following systematic steps, it increases the chance of successful implementation.","PeriodicalId":13596,"journal":{"name":"Innovation in Aging","volume":"86 5","pages":"761 - 761"},"PeriodicalIF":7.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138986514","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}

However, little was understood about the role of cognitive interventions on mortality outcomes in this population. Using twenty-year follow-up data from the Advanced Cognitive Training for Independent and Vital Elderly (ACTIVE) trial, we examined the association between cognitive change and mortality risk, and the effect of ACTIVE cognitive training (memory, reasoning, and speed of processing) on mortality risk. Mortality was ascertained through linkage to the National Death Index database. To model time to death as a function of cognitive change and training effect, we used shared growth-survival models with simultaneously estimated latent intercepts and slopes as predictors. Among the 2802 participants, 2021 died on or before the year 2019 (72.1%). Both higher baseline level and slower decline in global cognition were associated with lower hazards of all-cause mortality after adjusting for covariates (HR = 0.68, 95% CI 0.58, 0.79; HR = 0.42, 95% CI 0.40, 0.44, respectively). We did not observe any significant effects of ACTIVE cognitive training in memory, reasoning, or speed of processing on all-cause mortality. Our findings demonstrated the association between the trajectory of cognitive change and mortality among older adults, independent of cognitive training interventions.

Increasing the repertoire for depression care that is community-based and uses paraprofessionals has potential to increase access and engagement. We are testing the effectiveness of a peer support intervention called Peer Enhanced Depression Care (PEERS) which is an 8-week community-based intervention that uses trained peer mentors to deliver emotional, appraisal and informational support in addition to encouraging self-care skills to depressed low-income white and BIPOC older adults. Enrolled participants are randomized to either the peer support intervention (PEERS) or to the social interaction control and followed for 12 months. The primary outcome is depression and secondary outcomes include engagement, mental health service use, and social, emotional, and physical functioning. Challenges related to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and social isolation required a shift from recruitment initially focused on the health care system to community-based organizations serving older adults. Required contactless recruitment strategies eg. flyers and newspaper ads, led to self-referral of community-dwelling older adults to the study. Challenges to participant enrollment included barriers related to communication, stigma related to help-seeking, distrust and unfamiliarity with research. Recruitment of peer mentors was facilitated by a robust infrastructure supporting the employment of the peer support workforce. Continued PM supervision after initial training, review of skills and evaluation of performance were important in maintaining quality and fidelity to the intervention.","PeriodicalId":13596,"journal":{"name":"Innovation in Aging","volume":"84 ","pages":"548 - 549"},"PeriodicalIF":7.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138987256","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}

First, high school students engaged in a “train the trainer” computer skills course using a previously-tested curriculum designed for the target population. Students mentored the older adults in learning computer skills and to access either the OCY (n = 15) or CBG (n=15), which were randomly assigned. Outcomes measured at pre, post, and three months following the 12-week intervention included computer proficiency, cognitive function, pain levels, and psychosocial well-being. In a linear mixed growth model with random intercepts, there was a significant linear trend in computer-based competency, t(50, 19) = 2.56, p = .013. Computer proficiency (computer basics, Internet and email use, communication, and calendaring) increased significantly in both the OCY and CBG groups. Importantly, there was a significant linear change in pain by group, controlling for age and living alone, F(1, 14) = 6.64, p = .022, η2 = .32 (large effect size). Chronic pain in the OCY group decreased significantly from baseline to 3-month follow-up (18.89 to 11.35) but increased in the CBG group (14.27 to 17.28). Increases in cognitive function increased pre/post t(29) = -2.98, p = .003 (one-tailed). These results are promising for older adults with limited exercise opportunities, who also face cognitive risk exacerbated by elevated pain levels.","PeriodicalId":13596,"journal":{"name":"Innovation in Aging","volume":"122 ","pages":"158 - 159"},"PeriodicalIF":7.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138988183","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}

However, concerns about loss of privacy can hinder recruitment, especially within communities already underrepresented in research. Literature on effective, culturally tailored recruitment strategies is limited. Herein, we describe strategies employed for an in-home digital technology study with 100% Mexican American representation. Hispanic participants were recruited from the greater San Antonio area. Direct recruitment strategies conducted in both English and Spanish included community outreach events, a participant repository, cross-enrollment with other research studies, and by word of mouth. Mass recruitment strategies included flyer dissemination, newsletters, and digital announcements through community organizations (i.e., Salud America!) and national (i.e., Research Match) and institutional websites. Between September 2022 and February 2023, 31 participants were enrolled out of 154 individuals who were contacted. Of these, 29% were recruited from community events, 22.6% from word of mouth, 19.4% from cross-enrollment, 12.9% from the research repositories, and 16.1% from mass recruitment strategies. The most common reasons for non-enrollment included lack of interest (n=49), screen failure (n=29), and privacy concerns (n=12).Direct recruitment efforts achieved higher rates of enrollment, while mass media campaigns yielded lower responses and resulted in more unsuccessful contact attempts. Understanding the relationship between social networks and research beliefs may be particularly relevant given the Hispanic culture’s collectivist and family-oriented nature. Hence, social network theories, combined with a diffusion of innovation framework, may be advantageous for increasing trust and may consequently improve representation of diverse groups in research.","PeriodicalId":13596,"journal":{"name":"Innovation in Aging","volume":"26 1","pages":"443 - 444"},"PeriodicalIF":7.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138988271","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}

Our research has demonstrated that older adults can effectively plan ahead for their discharge needs (e.g., selecting SNFs) prior to hospitalization but some chose not to. Very little is known about what motivates older adults to plan. We sought to identify what variables impact older adults’ post-hospitalization planning. We surveyed a cohort of non-hospitalized adults age 65+ who received PlanYourLifespan.org (PYL), a tool to help older adults plan for their post-hospitalization needs, and then completed follow-up surveys at one month and every 6 months thereafter. Surveys inquire about their post-discharge plans if they were to be hospitalized, specifically rehabilitation/caregiver preferences. Multivariate logistic regression models adjusted for baseline hospitalization decision-making, sex, race, self-efficacy, living status, cognitive impairment, and PYL use. 293 subjects were enrolled (mean 73.5 yrs,40.4% non-White;12 mo. retention rate 94.5%).

Cognitive functioning was assessed using the computerized Joggle battery. Multivariable linear regression analyses were conducted with each cognitive measure as the outcome measure. Models were adjusted for age, sex, education, reading literacy, poverty status, and depressive symptoms. In the adjusted models, living in a neighborhood with increasing built environment disorder was associated with slower performance (p <.05) on an attention measure. Increasing social cohesion was associated with faster performance (p <.05) on memory, attention, and visual orientation measures. Similarly, increasing social control was associated with faster performance (p <.05) on attention, executive function/reasoning, visual orientation, and speed measures. Additionally, increasing social control was associated with greater number of correct responses (p <.05) on an attention and executive function/reasoning measure.

The study employed a 2x2 within-person design (fireplace on vs. not; neurologist present vs. not) and took place within the home office of a home simulation environment. In each of the four conditions, 61 participants (age 50-82, 57% female) played the foraging task and then endorsed adjectives representing their feelings while playing that game. Multilevel models, which nested study stages within participants, showed individuals with higher self-perceptions of aging benefited significantly from both environmental manipulations, with the fireplace acting as environmental support and the observing neurologist raising the stakes of the task. However, despite providing additional motivation and being associated with stronger cognitive performance, the neurologist’s presence also provoked a higher negative affect response. The relationship between self-perceptions of aging and receptiveness to environmental resources merits further investigation to assess how certain environmental resources might act as a moderator of both cognition and affect.","PeriodicalId":13596,"journal":{"name":"Innovation in Aging","volume":"67 21","pages":"840 - 841"},"PeriodicalIF":7.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138988708","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}
