The findings reveal that patients are very needy in the posthospital period and that families provide the bulk of care. Formal service use is most frequent in nursing care, bathing, and grooming but limited in areas of highest need-transportation, housekeeping, and shopping. Of the patients interviewed, 30% report insufficient help with personal care Patients rate the quality of care provided by formal sources higher than care provided by informal sources Questions are raised about the ability of families to meet the demands of post-acute care.","PeriodicalId":220319,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Applied Gerontology","volume":"234 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121421768","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}

The sample consisted of primary caregivers (n = 180) cohabiting with a demented relative. Four variables were involved in predictive relationships with psycho logical well-being The first variable, appraisal of the disturbance from dysfunctional behaviors at Time 1, was selectively predictive of an increase in the two negative indicators over a year. The second and third variables, increased conflicts in the exchange of informal support and less frequent informal support at Time 1, were predictive of an increase in psychological distress. The fourth variable, frequent use of affective-stimulative dementia management strategies at Time 1, appeared to predict an increase in the two positive indicators of well-being. Knowledge of these four predictors can be useful in designing interventions that target the improvement of well-being.","PeriodicalId":220319,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Applied Gerontology","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130956449","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}

For ease of movement, neither the scientific nor the personal modality should be taken as foundational ; rather, modalities should be viewed as par and complementary to each other. Applied gerontology ideally is an interplay among multiple modalities. Capturing the essence, clients’ desires should be supplementary and not subservient to abstract reasoning models. In brief, the facile movement of applied gerontology between scientific research and practice depends on resolving certain philosophical issues that underlie choices in modalities. Lisa Groger, in this issue of the journal, focuses on minority aging and asserts that applied gerontology does not move easily between scientific research and practice due to certain problems: objectification of minorities in the research process, failure to share research funds with minority respondents, and a research focus on inappropriate factors-race instead of poverty and race differences instead of race similarities. Thus, the movement of applied gerontology between scientific research and practice is constrained under certain conditions during the research process. Although Groger takes issue with the Murphy-Longino model, the difference in the two conceptualizations seems more apparent than real. The Groger and Murphy-Longino arguments may be two sides of the same coin: MurphyLongino presenting philosophical conditions that help applied gerontology","PeriodicalId":220319,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Applied Gerontology","volume":"127 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133373267","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}

Three times a week for 3 weeks, 10 elder volunteers (8 females, mean age = 70 years) received Swedish massage sessions. For another 3 weeks, three times per week, the same elderly volunteers massaged infants at a nursery school. Receiving massage first versus giving massage first was counterbalanced across subjects. Immediately after the first- and last-day sessions of giving massages, the elder retired volunteers had less anxiety and depression and lower stress hormones (salivary cortisol) levels. Over the 3-week period, depression and catecholamines (norepinephrine and epinephrine) decreased and lifestyle and health improved. These effects were not as strong for the 3-week period when they received massage, possibly because the elder retired volunteers initially felt awkward about being massaged and because they derived more satisfaction massaging the infants.","PeriodicalId":220319,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Applied Gerontology","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125230479","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}

Forty informants (19 spousal caregivers and their respective clergy) were interviewed with four research goals in mind: (a) to identify the importance of church participation, (b) to examine the nature of the caregiver-clergy dyad, (c) to identify church-based intervention programs, and (d) to develop guidelines for offering assistance to congregants. Findings show that churches can play an important support role to AD families. Church participation remained important for most informants, even with the added demands of caregiving. Most provided information congruent with that of their clergy and most were satisfied with their churches'responses to their situations. Several successful church-based programs were identified, and six guidelines for responding to AD families emerged from the data. Future research should examine how non-Christian faiths are responding to members who have AD or related illnesses.","PeriodicalId":220319,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Applied Gerontology","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130999222","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}

Consequently, research has illustrated the rich diversity found among women in later life, whereas older males remain largely homogenized in the research. This book highlights the heterogeneity found among men and the challenges to men in later life that are often overlooked by the general public and by research.

The chapters describe the social, cultural, psychological, physical, and economic variables that affect elderly males. The book is more definitive than scholastic in writing style, as Kosberg and Kaye explain that it follows an applied, as opposed to a theoretical, perspective. Accordingly, each chapter includes suggested interventions to meet the needs of older men.","PeriodicalId":220319,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Applied Gerontology","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122570652","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}

Staff members from a statewide random sample of dementia day care facilities were asked to think back over their practices and describe especially satisfying and dissatisfying experiences. The day care endings—either by death or by termination for other reasons—were governed by the uncertain limits of care. Dimensions of uncertainty included the capacities of the family, client, and staff, the ethical dilemmas embedded in the care; and the working relationship between staff and family. The staff experiences were shaped by Western ideologies about the \"good\" of community care and the \"bad\" of institutional care. Findings suggest the need for increased staff awareness of the uncertainty that dominates the endings of day care and for better contextualization of the endings into each client's ongoing life story.","PeriodicalId":220319,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Applied Gerontology","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123319027","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}
