Data were obtained prior to and immediately following rides through interview-based questionnaires assessing life satisfaction using the 10-point Cantril Ladder at baseline and follow up, and mood assessments using a 5-point smiley scale.Results: Life satisfaction improved significantly (+0.94, p = 0.04) over the study period, especially in men, and those with zero to five trishaw rides. Mood also improved significantly (+1.01, p < 0.001) immediately after rides.Conclusion: Participation in Cycling Without Age significantly improved mood and enhanced life satisfaction among nursing homes residents. Findings underscore the potential of volunteer-driven trishaw activities for community-based health promotion in nursing homes.

The training was conducted at a 4-year pre-licensure, Bachelor of Science Nursing program in rural Southeast United States, where 62 sophomore students completed a 6-hour dementia skills training. Participation in the study was voluntary. Students were given pre- and posttests, with the dementia skills training serving as the intervention. Thirty-two students completed pre- and posttests, measuring knowledge, comfort, and confidence.Results: Findings showed the training enhanced students' knowledge of dementia and communication approaches; however, they did not feel more confident or comfortable interacting with PLWD immediately following the training.Conclusion: The Getting Connected: Experiential Dementia Skills Training using the Positive Approach to Care® model can be a useful approach for teaching nursing students about the lived experience of dementia and beneficial in helping them acquire knowledge and communication strategies for caring for PLWD.

The current study explored usability challenges and design recommendations for voice user interfaces (VUIs) of smart speakers among low-income older adults.Method: Results from two user-centered design studies involving residents in low-income housing (n = 27 and n = 11, respectively), including current smart speaker users and nonusers living alone, were synthesized. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, we explored participants' experiences, challenges, and design preferences for smart speakers.Results: Participants reported difficulties with technology learning opportunities, lack of in-person technical support, and usability issues with VUI. They also highlighted user-related challenges, such as cognitive and physical limitations, affecting interaction with the devices. Participants proposed VUI design improvements to enhance usability, accessibility, and engagement.Conclusion: The current study contributes to the identification of key barriers and facilitators for smart speaker adoption among underserved older adults, offering recommendations for more inclusive and user-friendly VUI design.

Fluctuation in intrinsic capacity (IC), defined as mental and physical functions, can be assessed objectively with an assigned score to predict health outcomes. The goal of the current review was to identify common measurement tools for IC assessment and evaluate IC scoring approaches.Method: Seventeen studies met inclusion criteria for assessing five domains: vitality, locomotion, cognitive, psychological, and sensory.Results: Reviewed studies used diverse instruments with inconsistent scoring approaches. Scoring ranged from simple additive scores to complex item response theory models.Conclusion: Establishing consistency in assessment and scoring for IC will ensure usability of scores in clinical practice to promote healthy aging and identify older adults at risk for disability or care dependence. Additional research is needed to establish consensus in standardized scoring, assessment, and measurement of IC.

The current study aimed to investigate mental health issues, levels of eHealth literacy, and the impact of eHealth literacy on mental health among Korean American older adults.Method: Data were collected from Korean American adults aged ≥50 years through a survey that included the eHealth Literacy Scale and Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale. Collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and regression analysis.Results: Korean American older adults demonstrated lack of skills in assessing the quality of online health resources. Higher levels of eHealth literacy were significantly associated with lower levels of stress, anxiety, and depression.Conclusion: Findings indicate that strategies should be developed to address the specific needs and challenges of Korean American older adults, particularly for those with limited skills in using online mental health information when making health-related decisions.
