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. Leisure and entertainment activities on social media showed no significant association with SWB.Conclusion: Social media addresses social support deficits from physical limitations and enhances self-efficacy through information retrieval, thus improving SWB. Findings elucidate how social media influences SWB in older adults, offering theoretical guidance for interventions to enhance their well-being.

Using health information technology (IT) is a promising strategy to address these challenges. However, evidence gaps remain regarding barriers and facilitators to technology integration in LTPAC. Thus, the current study explored barriers and facilitators to technology adoption in emerging models of care for older adults through the International Summit on Innovation and Technology for the Care of Older People (IS-ITCOP).Method: The IS-ITCOP Summit, held in June 2024, brought together 47 interdisciplinary experts from eight countries. Qualitative data were collected via facilitated discussion groups and analyzed using two approaches: human-coded thematic analysis and ChatGPT 4.0-driven analysis.Results: Shared themes included technology barriers, ethical considerations, workforce challenges, and patient-centered care. Human analysis emphasized abstract themes, whereas ChatGPT provided granular insights on emerging technologies.Conclusion: Combining human and artificial intelligence-driven analyses enriched understanding, highlighting opportunities and challenges for integrating IT into LTPAC systems.

Two reviewers screened titles and abstracts, and a third settled disagreements. At least two reviewers completed full-text reviews and reached consensus through discussion. Three reviewers abstracted the data. At least two reviewers conducted quality appraisals, with discrepancies resolved by a third reviewer.Results: Nineteen articles met inclusion criteria. Evidence suggests digital health interventions improve caregivers' burden, depression, stress, quality of life, anxiety, coping, and well-being. No significant changes were found in caregivers' mood or mental health outcomes for PWD.Conclusion: Digital mental health interventions supporting PWD and caregivers are evolving. Further research should use more diverse and larger samples. Enhancing nurse participation in digital mental health design, implementation, and evaluation is crucial.
