Braun and Clarke's thematic analysis framework integrated inductive and deductive approaches.Results: Two key themes emerged from the analysis-Preparation for Care of Older Adults and Navigating Professional Growth. IENs with prior gerontological care experience felt more prepared for LTC roles. Professional development opportunities varied significantly, with many participants citing inadequate ongoing training. Findings suggest that a comprehensive clinical orientation program and ongoing professional development opportunities are essential for IENs to succeed in LTC facilities.Conclusion: Findings underscore the importance of comprehensive orientation and structured, continuous professional development tailored to IENs' needs. Enhanced support systems could improve IEN integration, care quality, and workforce retention in U.S. LTC settings.","PeriodicalId":15848,"journal":{"name":"Journal of gerontological nursing","volume":" ","pages":"31-38"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144560301","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}

Older adults (N = 836) from Guangdong Province were chosen to complete a survey using a convenience sampling method to test validity and reliability. One half of the sample was randomly selected for exploratory factor analysis (EFA), and the other half for confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Internal consistency reliability was tested using Cronbach's alpha.Results: A questionnaire comprising 61 items and six domains was constructed. All items had significant discrimination and had a strong relationship with the total score of the tool. In EFA and CFA, the factor loading of each item was >0.70. During CFA, the composite reliabilities of all domains were >0.90. The content validity index of the overall tool was 0.980. Cronbach's alpha of the overall tool was 0.962.Conclusion: This scale can contribute to establishing age-friendly home and community environments. It may be a valuable reference for community service centers to assess and enhance their services, considering factors such as limited workforce and resources. Moreover, this scale can facilitate continuous improvement and long-term development of age-friendly care communities.","PeriodicalId":15848,"journal":{"name":"Journal of gerontological nursing","volume":" ","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144873447","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}

The current study investigated determinants of glycemic control in older adults with diabetes in South Korea, aligning with the latest clinical guidelines from the American Diabetes Association and World Health Organization.Method: This cross-sectional study analyzed data from the 2022 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. A total of 372 adults aged ≥65 years with physician-diagnosed diabetes were included. Participants were categorized into well-controlled (HbA1c <7%) and poorly controlled (HbA1c ≥7%) groups. Factors influencing glycemic control, including psychological distress, physical activity, and socioeconomic variables, were assessed using binary logistic regression.Results: Depression (Patient Health Questionnaire-9 ≥4; odds ratio [OR] = 1.986, p = 0.019), anxiety (General Anxiety Disorder-7 ≥2; OR = 1.800, p = 0.041), and insufficient strength training (<2 times/week; OR = 0.496, p = 0.025) were significant predictors of poor glycemic control. Current smoking was also associated with elevated HbA1c (OR = 2.228, p = 0.030). No significant associations were observed for demographic or socioeconomic factors.Conclusion: Psychological distress, insufficient strength training, and smoking are key modifiable predictors of poor glycemic control in older adults with diabetes. These findings highlight the need for integrated interventions that address mental health support, lifestyle modifications, and smoking cessation in diabetes management for older adults. Further longitudinal studies are recommended to confirm causality.","PeriodicalId":15848,"journal":{"name":"Journal of gerontological nursing","volume":" ","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144873448","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}

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.
