The current qualitative study explored perceptions of social connection during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.Method: Purposive sampling was used to recruit participants from two local community-based organizations (CBOs) in the Greater Boston area. Recruitment occurred through dissemination of flyers by staff of the CBOs. Semi-structured interviews were conducted between October 2021 and March 2022. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis.Results: Of 22 participants, most were women (63.6%) and Hispanic/Latinx or African American/Black (86.4%). Participants viewed social connection as an important aspect of well-being, but acknowledged that COVID-19 induced social isolation. There were gender differences in social connection. Technology was adopted by all participants that allowed connection to others. Pre-existing relationships with support groups and CBOs facilitated improved social connection and well-being.Conclusion: Focused attention should be on individuals not linked to CBOs or social services and those who lack access or have barriers to technology use, as they may be at the most significant risk for isolation.

Patient care associates who volunteered to be mobility champions were trained how to safely ambulate patients.Results: Patients who worked with a mobility champion were less likely to be referred to inpatient rehabilitation post discharge for further care due to functional decline.Conclusion: Mobility has a critical role in the maintenance of hospitalized older adults' functional abilities and is a determinate of their post discharge disposition.

Community-based nurses working with older adults in the United Kingdom were recruited via social media and convenience sampling.Results: Responses were received from 194 community-based nurses. Nutritional care was seen as a multidisciplinary responsibility by 62% of participants. Most undertook nutrition screening (93%), were confident in providing nutritional advice (83%), and ease of identifying those in need (88%) was high. However, some aspects of nutritional knowledge were less complete, including recommended daily intakes of protein (60% unsure) and fiber (52% unsure).Conclusion: High confidence in delivering nutritional advice contrasted with uncertainty around some aspects of nutritional knowledge, suggesting opportunities to improve training on the nutritional needs of older adults.

PCs lead to the accumulation of medications prescribed to older adults, disproportionately affecting those who often have additional health care complexities, such as multiple chronic conditions and multiple transitions of care.Method: Review of recent research efforts to identify and describe evolving clinical practice interventions to detect and reverse PCs.Results: Clinicians can contribute to mitigating PCs through better understanding of how PCs occur in practice. Armed with this knowledge, clinical team members can implement proposed strategies and techniques to engage in primary and secondary prevention of PCs.Conclusion: Ultimately, PCs are a culprit of preventable medication harm. Several tools are presented, which are initiated through maintaining a high index of suspicion for PCs in the evaluation of a new symptom presentation by older patients.

One (0.8%) participant was recruited from a prior research project. In contrast, individuals were not recruited from posted flyers and social media.Conclusion: Recruitment can be improved with word of mouth and contacting key persons, such as community leaders, which can be achieved by building a trusted relationship between researchers and community leaders.

Despite person-centered, standardized, and professional resources supporting transitional care, reorienting NH cultural models remains unclear. Gaps include evidence tailored to diverse participants and contexts. Thus, a focus on policies, education, and research is required.

The current study investigated the effectiveness of the proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) technique in improving balance and muscle health among older adults with high fall risk.Method: A total of 160 older adults with high fall risk were randomized into control and intervention groups. Over 6 months, the control group received standard interventions, while the intervention group received the same interventions and additional PNF training.Results: Both groups demonstrated improvements in balance function over time, with the intervention group exhibiting significant improvements in Berg Balance Scale scores, Timed Up and Go test times, and 30-Second Chair Stand Test counts (p < 0.05). Bone density significantly increased in the intervention group compared to the control group (p < 0.05), although no substantial differences in lower limb muscle mass were observed. Satisfaction rates were higher and fall incidents fewer in the intervention group.Conclusion: The PNF technique is effective in enhancing balance function and muscle health in older adults with high fall risk, demonstrating potential in reducing fall risk and improving quality of life among older adults.
