Through self-reported surveys, mood symptoms were analyzed using the 21-item version of the Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale, and environmental factors, such as job demands, decision authority, job duties, social support, and organizational justice, were measured using the Job Strain Model tool.Results: After controlling for age, organizational justice (β = 0.361, p ≤ 0.001) significantly influenced mood symptoms and explained 15% of the variance in mood symptoms.Conclusion: Organizational justice may reduce mood symptoms in LTC staff. These findings offer managers and researchers insights for potential interventions with this population.","PeriodicalId":15848,"journal":{"name":"Journal of gerontological nursing","volume":" ","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145069791","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}

A convenience sample of 342 eligible older PLWH were identified between December 2022 and October 2023. Data were collected through in-person surveys and structured questionnaires designed to collect data on sociodemographic characteristics, social isolation, frailty, and psychological distress with standard measures, including the Tilburg Frailty Indicator, Lubben Social Network Scale-6, and Distress Thermometer.Results: Overall prevalence of major variables among participants was reported as follows: social isolation (57.3%), frailty (39.5%), and psychological distress (25.8%). Mediation analysis showed that an association between social isolation and frailty was mediated by psychological distress. Psychological distress partially mediated the relationship between social isolation and frailty, accounting for 30.4% of the total effect.Conclusion: Higher levels of social isolation and greater levels of psychological distress may be significant risk factors for frailty among older PLWH. Levels of social isolation influence frailty directly and indirectly through a psychological distress pathway.","PeriodicalId":15848,"journal":{"name":"Journal of gerontological nursing","volume":" ","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145069735","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}

Nonpharmacological interventions significantly reduced delirium incidence (OR [odds ratio] = 0.57, 95% CI [0.49, 0.66]). Multicomponent (OR = 0.6, 95% CI [0.49, 0.75]) and single-component (OR = 0.53, 95% CI [0.42, 0.66]) interventions were effective. Network meta-analysis revealed that the multicomponent intervention \"Family HELP\" demonstrated significant superiority over four other interventions (OR = 0.11, 95% CI [0.04, 0.33]; p-score = 0.911).Conclusion: Nonpharmacological interventions were found to effectively prevent delirium among older adult surgical patients, with the Family HELP intervention being the most effective.

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}
