Although various studies have investigated the effects of staff training in challenging behavior management, few have explored their impact on laypeople's perceptions. However, NH professionals routinely interact with laypeople, such as current and prospective residents and their families, volunteers, and community partners. The current study examined the effect of person-centered staff training on naïve individuals' perceptions of staff competence.Method: Twenty-two NH professionals completed person-centered care training in challenging behavior management and responded to a clinical vignette before and after training. Their responses were evaluated by 59 naïve assessors for relevance, confidence, and competence. In addition, two trained assessors were recruited to explore whether their informed evaluations corroborated naïve assessors' impressions.Results: Relevance, confidence, and competence improved significantly according to naïve and trained assessors. NH professionals also reported feeling more competent.Conclusion: Multiple measures indicate improved staff performance following training. Future studies should examine how laypeople's perceptions of staff competence influence their experiences in NHs and impact NH attractiveness.","PeriodicalId":15848,"journal":{"name":"Journal of gerontological nursing","volume":" ","pages":"27-34"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144560300","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}

In addition to using a comprehensive set of medical subject headings and text phrases in Chinese and English, additional research was manually retrieved from reference lists. Calculations of the combined incidence of SF and pre-frailty were based on a random-effects model. Sources of heterogeneity were also verified through subgroup analysis.Results: The literature search yielded 2,371 articles, with 17 articles included in the meta-analysis. The combined incidences of SF and pre-frailty were 18.9% (95% confidence interval [CI] [13.7, 24.1]) and 46.6% (95% CI [34.4, 58.7]), respectively.

A total of 145 senior nursing students from five prelicensure programs in Florida completed a 92-item survey incorporating the Palmore Facts on Aging Quiz 2, Kogan's Attitudes Toward Old People Scale, and the Hartford Geriatric Nurse Competency Tool. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA), multivariate ANOVA, and Pearson correlation.Results: Students demonstrated limited knowledge about older adults but reported high perceived competency. A statistically significant difference in knowledge was found between program types, with PN students scoring highest. A moderate positive correlation existed between knowledge and attitudes. No significant differences were found for attitudes or perceived competency by program.Conclusion: The current study underscores the need to systematically design an evidence-based curriculum inclusive of gerontological nursing content across BSN, ADN, and PN programs to prepare the future nursing workforce to care for older adults.","PeriodicalId":15848,"journal":{"name":"Journal of gerontological nursing","volume":" ","pages":"1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145069760","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}

The current study examined whether a simulation-based dementia education intervention could enhance empathy in health care students.Methods: Using embedded mixed methods, one-group quasi-experimental design, empathy levels in 125 prelicensure nursing and graduate occupational therapy students were measured via the Kiersma-Chen Empathy Scale-Revised (KCES-R) before, immediately after, and 6 weeks post-simulation. In addition, 36 post-debriefing focus groups explored student experiences qualitatively.Results: Findings showed significant empathy score increases across all time points (F[2,124] = 17.02, p < 0.001). Thematic analysis revealed five themes: The Illusion of Empathy, Developing Empathetic Skills, Confronting Uncomfortable Truths, The Eureka Moment: Transformative Realizations, and Empathy and Power Dynamics.Conclusion: Findings suggest that simulation-based dementia experience improves empathy and motivates students to provide better care.

The current study investigated whether social participation mediates the relationship among social isolation, gender, and marital status among retirees.Method: A secondary analysis of AARP survey data (N = 6,664) was conducted. Mediation analyses examined the indirect effects of gender and marital status on social isolation through social participation. Participants were predominantly adults aged ≥50 years with low to moderate income.Results: Women and married individuals showed higher social participation and lower social isolation. There was a significant direct effect of being female and being married on social isolation, and also a significant indirect effect through social participation.Conclusion: Interventions should consider diverse vulnerable groups. Although unmarried men may benefit from tailored social programs, broader strategies, inclusive of gender and marital status dynamics, are essential. Tailored programs targeting unmarried men could foster social participation, thereby reducing social isolation and promoting healthy aging.","PeriodicalId":15848,"journal":{"name":"Journal of gerontological nursing","volume":" ","pages":"39-44"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144234261","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}
