Factors including autonomic dysfunction from the disease, use of PD medications, comorbidities, and aging can contribute to an increased risk of OH, which can be detrimental to patients' quality of life. Maintaining a fine balance to prevent harm related to OH and retain the benefit medications used to treat PD is crucial. The current article reviews various considerations in selecting and adjusting pharmacotherapy for OH in patients with PD.Method: Current evidence and guidance on pharmacological strategies of OH in patients with PD were reviewed.Results: Current strategies include medication regimen review and adjustment of patient's medication regimen and single or combination pharmacotherapy (midodrine, droxidopa, fludrocortisone, pyridostigmine) used in addition to nonpharmacological strategies.Conclusion: A patient-specific approach is needed to address OH in PD. Larger studies on safety and management of OH in PD are recommended given paucity of studies.

Aging is a universal phenomenon, and the number of people aged ≥65 years is expected to increase exponentially over the next 30 to 50 years. Thus, the universality and globalization of aging requires that our interconnected societies be equipped to meet the needs of humans across all developmental and life stages. The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic taught us to be agile, innovative, and always prepared to tackle new health issues that target older adults and their communities. Thus, the future of gerontological nursing must support optimal aging through practice, education, research, and policy initiatives. In recognition of the Journal of Gerontological Nursing's 50th anniversary, the current article forecasts future priorities and how gerontological nursing will address persistent challenges while capitalizing on opportunities to optimize health congruent with individuals' preferences and abilities, improve the care of older adults, and advance the study of aging.

We suggest definitional criteria of informal caregiving for dementia caregiving research that incorporate current dementia caregiving policy and programs.Method: A multi-pronged review and analysis was performed of the scientific literature from 2014 to 2024 and online documents from professional, public advocacy, and government organizations for definitions of informal caregiving and applications to informal caregiving of PLWD.Results: Definitional inconsistencies in informal caregiving center primarily on parameters around compensation (\"unpaid\") and relationships that are not in keeping with state, federal, and long-term care insurance programs that provide financial assistance, compensation, or stipends for caregiving. These inconsistencies extend to public policy and advocacy websites as well as peer-reviewed dementia and family caregiving literature.Conclusion: In general, contemporary applications of the term \"informal caregiver\" for PLWD include relatives and non-relatives (kin/nonkin) who provide a broad array of assistance to PLWD. Informal care activities may be provided in residence with or near PLWD or at a distance. Definitions and inclusion criteria for informal caregiver should specify relative or unpaid non-relative, having some prior relationship or social ties to the PLWD, and not receiving compensation for care for the PLWD from a caregiving institution.

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.
