However, weaker competencies were noted in supporting older adults' sexuality and managing ethical challenges. Specialized training and shorter work hours were significantly associated with higher self-perceived competency levels. This finding may suggest that reduced working hours allows nurses to engage in continuing education, skill development, and quality-focused care, rather than indicating lack of clinical experience.Conclusion: Findings highlight strengths and gaps in geriatric care competencies among HHC nurses, emphasizing the need for targeted training to address weaknesses in sensitive areas, including sexual health, ethical dilemmas, and communication challenges in end-of-life care.

The current article reflects on the policies and programs led by the ACL for more than a decade, promoting the health and independence of older adults and people living with disabilities, including their families and caregivers. A brief overview of exemplars focused on family caregivers, fall prevention, and home- and community-based services highlight the potential impact of the closing of the ACL on vulnerable communities. As a result, a list of growing organizations and advocates, including health care and scientific professional groups, have voiced their concerns for the future without the ACL and limited details regarding the continuation of services and resources. The historic nature of these changes calls for gerontological nurse leaders, clinicians, and researchers to stay informed and engaged in support of the population and communities we serve.

Control and intervention groups completed four assessments at baseline and completion of the program.Results: Both groups had decreased Timed Up and Go (TUG) and Fear of Falling scores. The intervention group had increased scores on the knowledge of falling questionnaire, whereas the control group had decreased scores, indicating the education was effective in increasing knowledge of falls. Although not statistically significant, these results are clinically significant and reveal the positive effects of the interdisciplinary program.Conclusion: Fall prevention education was successful in increasing older adults' knowledge about fall risk factors.

However, there is a risk that low mood could be associated with aging, normalized and accepted, and impacts help-seeking behavior by older adults. Thus, the current study explored how older adults in New Zealand manage low mood.Method: This qualitative descriptive study was embedded in a study exploring community-dwelling older adults' well-being. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 37 older adults aged between 66 and 99 years (mean age = 83 years). Reflexive thematic analysis was used to analyze the data.Results: Four themes emerged: (1) Noticing, Normalizing, and Thinking Differently; (2) Engaging in Meaningful Activities; (3) Connecting With Others; and (4) Seeking Help. Importantly, older adults developed positive ways of managing low mood.Conclusion: Successful strategies older adults implemented can be shared, challenging stereotypes that low mood is specifically part of the aging process. For nurses, greater awareness of the strategies older adults use to combat low mood is vital to ensure they can maintain overall well-being.

Social support mediated the positive relationship between interactive communication and SWB, and self-efficacy mediated the positive relationship between information acquisition and SWB.

Using health information technology (IT) is a promising strategy to address these challenges. However, evidence gaps remain regarding barriers and facilitators to technology integration in LTPAC. Thus, the current study explored barriers and facilitators to technology adoption in emerging models of care for older adults through the International Summit on Innovation and Technology for the Care of Older People (IS-ITCOP).Method: The IS-ITCOP Summit, held in June 2024, brought together 47 interdisciplinary experts from eight countries. Qualitative data were collected via facilitated discussion groups and analyzed using two approaches: human-coded thematic analysis and ChatGPT 4.0-driven analysis.Results: Shared themes included technology barriers, ethical considerations, workforce challenges, and patient-centered care. Human analysis emphasized abstract themes, whereas ChatGPT provided granular insights on emerging technologies.Conclusion: Combining human and artificial intelligence-driven analyses enriched understanding, highlighting opportunities and challenges for integrating IT into LTPAC systems.
