In the current study, we assessed sleep quality and medicinal sleep aid use among 87 community-dwelling older adults with (n = 24) and without (n = 63) physical disabilities.Method: Sleep quality, duration, and efficiency were assessed subjectively with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Sleep duration and efficiency were objectively measured with actigraphy. Participants self-reported medicinal sleep aid use.Results: Significant group differences were observed in sleep duration measured objectively (p = 0.01) and subjectively (p = 0.04). No other group differences were observed for sleep factors (p > 0.05) or medicinal sleep aid use (p = 0.41).Conclusion: Findings show that physical disability may be a factor in sleep duration; however, physical disability was not found to be associated with worsened sleep perception or greater reliance on medicinal sleep aids. Future research should consider longer objective actigraphy assessment windows and explore potential subgroup differences in sex and race/ethnicity.

Formal caregivers (i.e., RNs and nursing assistants) (N = 98) from four LTCFs were randomly assigned to experimental or control groups. Training was based on four components of FFC-CI. Data were collected four times within 9 months using five observational outcome measurements: Self-Efficacy for Restorative Care (SERCS), Outcome Expectations for Restorative Care Scale (OERCS), Restorative Care Knowledge Scale (RCKS), Restorative Care Behavior Checklist (RCBC), and Job Attitude Scale (JAS).Results: Statistically significant changes were noted in each activity of restorative care behavior among the four observational measurements. Results also indicated that job satisfaction was a statistically significant main effect for the experimental group; however, SERCS, OERCS, and RCKS scores were not statistically significant.Conclusion: To eliminate gaps between translating research outcomes to clinical practice, this study applied a theory-based caring model for caregivers to improve knowledge and skills in caring for older adults with dementia. Caregivers who received training in FFC-CI not only had higher job satisfaction but could also provide specific FFC activities for residents during their daily care.

However, limited capacity to observe residents has hindered understanding of resident-staff interactions within rooms. The current study aimed to describe nurse-resident interactions using data from a remote technology combining computer vision and staff location tracking.Method: Eighty-three staff working at an urban ALF with 215 residents were trained at the initiation of the study. Remote surveillance devices were installed in 32 residences and staff and resident interactions were tracked over 170 days.Results: Staff visited residents an average of 20.7 times per day for short durations (mean = 1.08 minutes). Urgent alert response times averaged 3.0 minutes, with faster response times through the mobile application (mean = 2.7 minutes) compared to in-person (mean = 3.3 minutes) response.Conclusion: By better understanding staff activity patterns in ALFs, this study has the potential to improve fall prevention and care for residents in ALFs.

Although various studies have described the experiences of frontline staff, less has been published about the experiences of those in administrative positions. The current study explored factors impacting nursing home administrators' (NHAs) perceived preparedness, day-to-day operational challenges and needs, and career outlook in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.Method: A cross-sectional online survey was administered via Qualtrics®, comprising demographic and facility-level questions and eight open-ended questions. Qualitative content and thematic analysis were used to code the text for themes describing administrator perceptions.Results: NHAs (N = 60) described feeling unprepared, experiencing disruptions of day-to-day operations, and witnessing a decrease in resident well-being. NHAs also expressed a decrease in their own well-being due to COVID-19. Many NHAs expressed wanting to, planning to, or actively working toward leaving their role due to the consequences of COVID-19.Conclusion: As nursing homes continue to face staffing shortages, supporting those in the role of administrator becomes of urgent importance, as this role directly impacts staff and resident well-being.

Cognitive function has been identified as a significant influencing factor for medication adherence, whereas excessive levels of homocysteine can impair cognitive function. Metamemory, which is influenced by cognitive function, also affects medication adherence. However, the complex relationship among these factors remains poorly understood among adults with H-type hypertension. Therefore, we hypothesize that metamemory serves as a mediator for the impact of cognitive function on medication adherence.Method: A total of 232 adults with H-type hypertension were enrolled to provide cognitive function scores, metamemory scores, and medication adherence rates.Results: A pairwise correlation exists among cognitive function, metamemory, and medication adherence. Metamemory partially mediates (57.5%) the relationship between cognitive function and medication adherence.Conclusion: Our findings suggest that interventions targeting improvements in metamemory may enhance medication adherence among individuals with H-type hypertension.
