Thematic analysis was synthesized narratively.Results: Eight studies (two cross-sectional and six prospective cohorts) with 25,443 participants were reviewed. Screening for PSCI was typically performed within 3 to 6 months post-stroke. Montreal Cognitive Assessment and Mini-Mental State Examination were the most commonly used tools, but cutoff scores varied widely. Screening involved pre- and post-stroke cognitive screening and identifying risk factors.Conclusion: Significant variability exists in PSCI assessment tools, cutoff, and timing. Further research is needed to standardize screening protocols, focusing on criteria, timing, accuracy, and feasibility. Early and repeated screening with risk management can improve PSCI prevention.

ESN was determined by the Scale of Elderly Self-Neglect, which evaluates five dimensions: (a) medical health and care, (b) environmental sanitation and personal hygiene, (c) mental health, (d) safety, and (e) social engagement. Frailty was assessed using the Physical Frailty Phenotype scale. Participants were asked whether they had bothersome and activity-limiting pain over the past 1 month. Characteristics associated with ESN were identified through multiple linear regression analyses.Results: Mean age of participants was 71.34 years (SD = 7.15 years), and 255 (57.8%) were female. The prevalence of ESN among participants was 16.2%. Among the five dimensions of ESN, medical health and care accounted for the largest proportion (44%). Approximately 58% of participants were pre-frail and 11.4% were frail, and 45% reported experiencing bothersome pain. Older adults with a household monthly income per capita <2,000 RMB (β = -0.112, p < 0.05), larger waist circumference (β = 0.185, p < 0.001), pre-frailty (β = 0.176, p < 0.001), frailty (β = 0.420, p < 0.001), and pain (β = 0.102, p < 0.05) were more prone to ESN.Conclusion: ESN is a prevalent issue among community-dwelling older adults. Frailty, pain, low economic status, and larger waist circumference are identified as independent risk factors for ESN. There is a need to improve the understanding of ESN among health care providers and policymakers. Personalized interventions aimed at preventing or addressing these risk factors may lead to improvements in ESN outcomes.

Telephone interviews were conducted with 74 stroke caregivers. Tasks were measured using the Oberst Caregiving Burden Scale; life changes with the Bakas Caregiving Outcomes Scale.Results: The most difficult tasks were managing survivor behaviors and the most negative life changes were lack of time for social activities. The easiest tasks were medical or nursing treatments, whereas the most positive life change was an improved relationship with the survivor. Tasks and life changes were different for each caregiver.

However, there is a risk that low mood could be associated with aging, normalized and accepted, and impacts help-seeking behavior by older adults. Thus, the current study explored how older adults in New Zealand manage low mood.Method: This qualitative descriptive study was embedded in a study exploring community-dwelling older adults' well-being. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 37 older adults aged between 66 and 99 years (mean age = 83 years). Reflexive thematic analysis was used to analyze the data.Results: Four themes emerged: (1) Noticing, Normalizing, and Thinking Differently; (2) Engaging in Meaningful Activities; (3) Connecting With Others; and (4) Seeking Help. Importantly, older adults developed positive ways of managing low mood.Conclusion: Successful strategies older adults implemented can be shared, challenging stereotypes that low mood is specifically part of the aging process. For nurses, greater awareness of the strategies older adults use to combat low mood is vital to ensure they can maintain overall well-being.

Social support mediated the positive relationship between interactive communication and SWB, and self-efficacy mediated the positive relationship between information acquisition and SWB.
