Reliable and valid measurements are needed to assess these disturbances. The aim of this systematic review was to identify, analyze and synthesize studies of sleep-related measurements to assess sleep disturbances in PLWD.</p><span>Methods:</span><p>The databases PubMed, CINAHL, and PsycINFO were systematically searched in 2019; the search was updated in March 2024. The inclusion criteria were as follows: participants with dementia or probable dementia in any care setting; and studies that reported at least one of the following aspects: (I) theoretical and conceptual frameworks, (II) user or patient involvement by type of users in measurement development, (III) feasibility and practicability of measurements, and (IV) results of psychometric analyses. The quality of the included studies was evaluated using the COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments (COSMIN) criteria and the quality appraisal tool for studies of diagnostic reliability (QAREL) tool.</p><span>Results:</span><p>A total of 5169 studies were identified; ultimately, 15 studies describing three self-administered measurements, three proxy-administered measurements and two technological measurements were included.

If existing measurements are used in clinical practice, the self-perspective of PLWD should be taken into account. If this is no longer fully possible, proxy-rating perspectives in combination could be an option. Future research on sleep-related measurements should be strictly based on international consensus-based psychometric quality criteria.</p>","PeriodicalId":14368,"journal":{"name":"International psychogeriatrics","volume":"52 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142266777","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Design, setting, and participants: We performed cross-sectional (<jats:italic>n</jats:italic> = 26,748) and longitudinal (<jats:italic>n</jats:italic> = 12,794) analyses using participant-SP dyad data from the National Alzheimer’s Coordinating Center. Participants were cognitively normal (CN; <jats:italic>n</jats:italic> = 11,951) or had mild cognitive impairment (MCI; <jats:italic>n</jats:italic> = 5686) or dementia (<jats:italic>n</jats:italic> = 9111). Measurements: SPs rated NPS using the Neuropsychiatric Inventory Questionnaire. We used multivariable logistic regression to model the association between SP characteristics (age, sex, and relationship to participant [spouse, child, and other]) and NPS status (outcome). Cox regressions assessed SP characteristics as moderators of MBI associations with incident dementia or as predictors of incident dementia in MBI + participants only. Results: Among CN persons, younger, female, and spouse SPs reported NPS more frequently. In MCI, younger SPs and those who were spouses or children of participants reported higher NPS odds. For dementia participants, NPS odds were higher in female and spouse SPs. MBI associations with incident dementia were slightly weaker when SPs were older but did not depend on SP sex or relationship to participant. Among MBI + participants with spouse or child SPs, hazard for dementia was higher when compared to MBI + participants with other SPs. Conclusions: SP age, sex, and relationship to participant influence NPS reporting across the neurocognitive spectrum, with potential implications for MBI prognosis. Considering SP characteristics may enhance the accuracy of NPS assessments, which may facilitate therapy planning and prognosis.","PeriodicalId":14368,"journal":{"name":"International psychogeriatrics","volume":"98 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142266917","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, media coverage of mental health and suicide has gained widespread attention. Suicide may become a more pressing issue due to the enormous economic and social toll of the spreading epidemic. Therefore, this systematic review is relevant in preventing suicide among older adults in the “post-pandemic” periods of COVID-19. In this study, the authors highlight the importance of examining the moderating or mediating role of protective factors in suicide, due to the fact that suicide prevention must take into account a variety of factors simultaneously. More importantly, most studies focused primarily on received support among interpersonal protective factors, neglecting the role of support given to others, which might be more beneficial for older adults’ well-being. The thought that ensues is what role will social support reciprocity play in specific risk factors and suicidal behavior.","PeriodicalId":14368,"journal":{"name":"International psychogeriatrics","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142269725","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
