Initially, a qualitative study with 11 older adults experiencing various chronic pain conditions provided insights into their perspectives on the preliminary intervention. Participants described the intervention, which included drawing, painting, and craft activities, as generally appropriate but in need of revisions to instructional details and difficulty levels. Based on this feedback, we created six independent intervention books featuring activities at three levels of difficulty. A quantitative survey was conducted with five content experts and three experiential experts to collect formative evaluations of the revised intervention.Results: The eight experts rated the revised intervention highly overall but recommended improving the organization of the written and visual instructions and ensuring the use of age-appropriate language. The final intervention offers 20 art making activities delivered in a home-based, individual format using an art making activity book and YouTube channel.Conclusion: By using a multi-method design, we tailored the intervention to the unique needs of older adults while grounding it in our theoretical framework describing its proposed mechanism of action for chronic pain management. Future studies are needed to rigorously test our hypotheses and evaluate the intervention's efficacy in reducing pain intensity among older adults.","PeriodicalId":15848,"journal":{"name":"Journal of gerontological nursing","volume":" ","pages":"34-41"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145774762","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, it is necessary to address ethical considerations that can inform policy and practice aimed at promoting safe and effective PA intervention strategies.Method: PA promotion was examined through the bioethical principles of autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence, and justice. The analysis was extended by introducing a relational autonomy framework suited to contexts of cognitive vulnerability.Results: By situating agency within relational, cultural, and organizational structures, the relational autonomy framework clarifies how ethically grounded and cognitively responsive PA can be enabled or constrained in long-term care settings. The analysis further demonstrated that principlist approaches alone are insufficient to address the relational dependencies and fluctuating capacities that shape NH residents' participation.Conclusion: Meaningful PA requires communication strategies attuned to cognitive fluctuation, identity-aligned activity design, and institutional flexibility that reduces structural barriers. Integrating relational autonomy into PA policy, staff training, and everyday care practices is ethically necessary to not only promote overall health, but to uphold agency, equity, and personhood for cognitively impaired NH residents.","PeriodicalId":15848,"journal":{"name":"Journal of gerontological nursing","volume":"52 5","pages":"6-13"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147773342","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data collected included demographics, disease characteristics, frailty, depression, sleep quality, and social support. A logistic regression model identified significant risk factors related to SCD.Results: In total, 200 middle-aged adults participated in the study, with a 15% prevalence of SCD. Multiple logistic regression models revealed that chronic diseases, smoking, and poor sleep quality were significantly associated with increased SCD. Specifically, participants with chronic diseases (odds ratio [OR] = 2.99, 95% confidence interval [CI] [1.27, 7.04]), those who smoked (OR = 3.51, 95% CI [1.23, 10.02]), and those reporting poor sleep quality (OR = 3.18, 95% CI [1.36, 7.49]) had significantly higher likelihoods of experiencing SCD compared to their counterparts.Conclusion: This study identified significant associations among chronic disease status, smoking, and poor sleep quality and the presence of SCD among middle-aged adults. Although causal relationships cannot be established, findings highlight the need for greater attention to cognitive health in individuals with these risk profiles. Further longitudinal research is warranted to clarify temporal relationships and assess the potential value of targeted monitoring strategies in at-risk populations.","PeriodicalId":15848,"journal":{"name":"Journal of gerontological nursing","volume":" ","pages":"43-53"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146086125","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Older adults who had fall risk were 1.738 times more likely to have a FRMS ≥6 (95% confidence interval [CI] [1.544, 1.956]).
