Residents (n = 77) living independently in a continuing care retirement community were randomized to early or late TC instructional groups. The late group served as the control for the first 20 weeks. Measures of strength, balance, and confidence were assessed at baseline, 10, 20, and 40 weeks. There were no statistically significant differences between the groups at baseline in mean number of chronic illnesses, medications, falls, and activities of daily living. Repeated-measures analyses revealed significant improvement for the early and late groups during their respective periods of TC instruction, but not otherwise. Confidence ratings were unaffected. The early group's improvement at 20 weeks regressed to the mean baseline score by 40 weeks, suggesting that continued exercise is necessary to maintain gains in strength and balance.","PeriodicalId":220319,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Applied Gerontology","volume":"125 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131526375","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Eighty-seven community-dwelling older adults aged 60 or older completed a questionnaire examining potential determinants to predict an intention to implement home modifications. Multiple logistic regression suggests that the odds ratios (OR) for the participants' intention to implement home modifications were higher for those (a) who have higher levels of belief that home modifications are beneficial (adjusted OR = 2.41, p = .015), (b) who believe that environmental adaptation can help prevent future falls (adjustedOR= 4.61, p = .036), and (c) who have taken past action concerning changes in home environment (adjusted OR = 4.79, p = .029). Findings serve as a preliminary step toward developing a comprehensive predictive model to identify determinants in predicting the degree of adherence to recommended home modifications for fall prevention among older adults.","PeriodicalId":220319,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Applied Gerontology","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115518995","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It draws on 26 interviews with elders and their family caregivers who participated in Arkansas's Cash and Counseling Program, as part of a consumer-directed national research project. Elders chose family members as caregivers to control the type and scheduling of the care they received. Both elders and family caregivers valued care that took place in the context of a reciprocal relationship. Policy implications include the suitability of consumer direction for elder consumers, an understanding of the way elders define quality of care, and the experience of family caregivers in a consumer-directed program.","PeriodicalId":220319,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Applied Gerontology","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123211032","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To ensure that Medicare beneficiaries can make informed health insurance decisions, they need to understand their coverage and remain current with policy changes and new legislation that affect the Medicare program. This study explored whether reading habits and metamemory are related to older adults'knowledge of two primary components of the Medicare program, original Medicare and Medicare managed care (MMC). The sample included 1,111 Medicare beneficiaries aged 65 and older who participated in the Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey. Regression analyses indicated that reading habits and metamemory significantly predicted Medicare knowledge, even after controlling for education, time spent reading Medicare educational materials, and other variables previously found to be associated with knowledge. Results varied according to the type of knowledge measured, possibly due to greater cognitive functioning required to understand MMC plans.","PeriodicalId":220319,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Applied Gerontology","volume":"162 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126216380","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To obtain a suitable outcome measure considering all relevant dimensions of caregiver stress, qualitative data from semistructured caregiving interviews were analyzed using content analytical techniques. Response scales were developed to assess the intensity of caregiving stress to allow for further statistical analyses. Results from the ANOVAs showed that use of day care significantly reduced conflicts between caregiving and job requirements, caregiving and family needs, and recreational constrictions. It is important to note that day care is effective in reducing specific, but not all, aspects of caregiving stress. For an adequate assessment of interventions meant to alleviate caregiving stress, the different dimensions of the concept must be considered.","PeriodicalId":220319,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Applied Gerontology","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131774090","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This entails learning how to deal effectively with change, losses, disappointments, and decline. The present study examined the relationship between coping, social support, daily hassles, functional disability, and physical and psychological health status in a sample of 224 community-residing older adults. Data were collected using a confidential and anonymous questionnaire. Results of structural equation analyses showed that social support was associated with fewer daily hassles. Social support was also indirectly related to daily hassles—that is, by increasing proactive coping. Further results indicated that proactive coping was inversely related to health hassles and functional disability. Proactive coping also was indirectly related to somatization and functional disability through health hassles. Results also showed that greater functional disability was associated with greater somatization. Implications of the results for healthy psychological functioning in the elderly are discussed.","PeriodicalId":220319,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Applied Gerontology","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121395574","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Tenure, education, and membership in a professional association are the characteristics investigated. Data used in this investigation came from a survey of nursing facilities and the 1999 On-line Survey, Certification, and Reporting system. Using logistic regression analyses, the effects of the professional development characteristics of the top management team on the turnover of administrators were examined. The average annual turnover rate of administrators was 43%. Controlling for seven organizational factors, the results are generally significant for tenure and membership in a professional association. This study shows that both aggregate and dissimilarity measures of tenure and professional association membership are important influences on administrator turnover. These results suggest that nursing home owners may want to hire top managers with strong professional membership ties or should encourage top managers to make these ties.","PeriodicalId":220319,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Applied Gerontology","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128833469","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Twenty-one healthy, untrained men and women (69.7 years, SD 2.7 years) participated and were randomly assigned to a high-intensity training group (TG) (n = 10) and a control group (CG) (n = 11). The TG trained three times a week for 10 weeks. Each 60-minute training session included four repetitions of exercise at approximately 85% to 95% of maximal heart rate separated by 4-minuterest periods. The control group was encouraged to perform no additive strength or endurance training during the study period. Maximal oxygen consumption increased significantly (p < .05) (13.2%) in the TG compared to the CG. Walking economy and maximal walking speed were unchanged after the training intervention. This training study demonstrates that high-intensity endurance training significantly improves VO2max in older adults.","PeriodicalId":220319,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Applied Gerontology","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124454029","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data were collected through a questionnaire administered to 800youths aged 15 to 30 and selected through a stratified random sampling process from both rural and urban areas of Anambra State of Nigeria. Four focus group discussion sessions also were conducted. Results show that Nigerian youths do not see the elderly as making too many demands on their children. The respondents, however, possess a number of aging stereotypes. They believe that the elderly behave like children and are sickly, conservative, suspicious, and secretive. Having stereotypes is related to level of education but not to gender, age, or place of residence. The policy implications of these findings are discussed and a new approach to care for the elderly recommended.","PeriodicalId":220319,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Applied Gerontology","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125030145","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
