The current study aimed to explore how and when severe illness leads to depression among older adults.Method: Data collected from a sample of 756 older adults were analyzed using moderated mediation analysis to examine the underlying mechanism between severe illness and depression.Results: Results, as verified by a robustness check, demonstrated that life satisfaction mediated the association between severe illness and depression among older men and women, and that gender moderated the direct relationship between severe illness and depression.Conclusion: The formation path of depression from severe illness among older adults varies according to gender. For men, severe illness did not directly trigger depression, but indirectly triggered depression through decreased life satisfaction; for women, severe illness not only triggered depression directly, but also indirectly triggered depression through decreased life satisfaction.

Each nursing home was randomized to either the intervention or control group. Eighty-two residents were enrolled in the study. Intervention group participants (n = 41) received a family support intervention, and those in the control group (n = 41) received the institution's standard daily care routine. The Questionnaire of Family Support Needs; Perceived Social Support Scale; and Family Adaptation, Partnership, Growth, Affection, Resolve Index were used to assess post-intervention outcomes.Results: There were no significant differences between groups regarding baseline data. There were statistically significant (p < 0.05) within-subject, between-subject, and interaction effects for both groups regarding family support needs, perceived social support, and family functioning.Conclusion: Findings contribute to strengthening the care of residents in nursing homes, indicating the importance of family support, which can positively influence perceived social support and family function.

Cross-sectional data from the BPI-SF were obtained from all participants, and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to evaluate the factor structure. Measurement invariance across young-old (aged 50 to 69 years) and old-old (aged 70 to 94 years) participants was examined at configural, full metric, and full scalar levels.Results: CFA revealed that a three-factor model (i.e., pain intensity, activity interference, and affective interference) demonstrated the best fit (χ2/df = 1.595, comparative fit index [CFI] = 0.949, root-mean-square error of approximation = 0.074). The change of CFI between configural and metric invariance was below the cutoff point of 0.01, supporting full metric (i.e., factor loadings) invariance across the two age groups. However, full scalar (i.e., item intercepts) invariance was not demonstrated.Conclusion: Results support a three-factor structure of the BPI-SF, which is consistent across two age groups for AA older adults with OA. This study provides evidence that the BPI-SF can reliably measure pain intensity and two distinct dimensions of pain interference in this population.

The current study examined loneliness and its association with health among Omani older adults (aged ≥60 years).Method: This descriptive, correlational study used structured questionnaires to collect data from 113 Omani older adults.Results: More than one half (67.3%) of participants felt moderate to severe loneliness. Hierarchical regression analyses revealed that being female, older age (≥85 years), living with non-family members, and being unemployed were significant predictors of loneliness. Loneliness was a significant predictor of poor mental health status when sociodemographic and environmental factors were controlled.Conclusion: Findings indicate a significant number of Omani older adults are experiencing loneliness. We suggest that RNs specialize or practice in the care of older adults, and that researchers and policy makers take prompt action to address this urgent health issue before the occurrence of severe adverse health outcomes among this population.

The Social Security Fairness Act was signed into law in 2025, as a new amendment to the Social Security Act first introduced in 1935. The Social Security Fairness Act ends two provisions that have reduced benefits for spouses, widows, and widowers and for public service workers, which include teachers, fire fighters, police officers, nurses, and others who are receiving pensions from state or local government. Specifically, this new bill involves economic stability, which is considered an important SDOH for older adults. The purpose of the current article is to evaluate policy changes through the Social Security Fairness Act, including potential impact and benefits, limitations or unintended consequences, and implications and recommendations for future research, policy, and practice. Findings will help guide gerontological nurses and interprofessional researchers, clinicians, and educators promoting healthy aging.

Therefore, the current study explored relationships between resilience and health, health promotion, and quality of life among older adults living with multiple sclerosis (MS).Method: Adults recruited from National MS Society chapters completed a mailed survey about their health, health promotion, and well-being.Results: The 147 respondents (mean age = 72 years) reported an average of three additional comorbidities and had been diagnosed with MS for 35 years on average. Resilience scores were most highly correlated with depressive symptoms, spiritual growth, social support, incapacity status, and quality of life.
