This study aims to assess the hospitals in Isfahan, Iran based on the age-friendly primary health care centers criteria and identify challenges. Methods & Materials This cross-sequential study was conducted in two phases in 2020-2021. First, using the checklist of Ahmadi et al.’ study, the teaching hospitals in Isfahan were assessed based on the age-friendly primary health care centers criteria. The checklists were completed by observation and based on the opinions of the experts. Data analysis was done in SPSS software, version 26 using descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation test. Qualitative data were collected through a semi-structured interview and were analyzed using Conventional content analysis method. Results Most of the hospitals were in good conditions in terms of physical environment, sanitary facilities, and signboards. The lowest scores were related to the areas of admission and payment, appointments, accessibility, and inpatient services. The mean age-friendly score of hospitals was 51.7 out of 100. There was no significant relationship between the characteristics of hospitals (type of ownership, type of activity, specialty, number of beds, bed occupancy rate, degree of accreditation, and manager’s study field) and their age-friendly scores. We identified 9 themes and 27 sub-themes related to challenges of being age-friendly in the hospitals. Conclusion The hospitals in Isfahan have many shortcomings in being age-friendly. Promoting the expertise of geriatric medicine and geriatric nursing, designing a special queuing system for the elderly, considering a special administrator for the elderly in different departments, reducing the costs of treatment for the elderly, promoting consultation/examination/treatment/follow-up programs for the elderly with an emphasis on upstream documents and cooperation between different departments, empowering employees, upgrading physical infrastructure can help solve existing challenges.","PeriodicalId":44423,"journal":{"name":"Salmand-Iranian Journal of Ageing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86744004","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}

Methods & Materials This is a randomized controlled clinical trial. Participants were 150 older adults referred to health centers in Urmia, Iran. They were divided into three groups of SH+MT, SH, and control using the block randomization method. To measure their sleep quality, the standard Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) was used. The intervention was conducted for two months. Data analysis was conducted in SPSS software, version 21. To know the baseline difference in the qualitative variables among the three groups, chi-square test was used. Kolmogorov Smirnov test was used to check the normality of data distribution and then one-way ANOVA test was used to compare the seven dimensions of PSQI among the three groups. Results The comparison of seven PSQI dimensions showed that subjective sleep quality (F=14.34, P=0.0001), sleep latency (F=10.05, P=0.0001), sleep duration (F=21.91, P=0.0001), habitual sleep efficiency (F=24.98, P=0.0001), sleep disturbances (F=15.37, P=0.0001), use of sleep medication (F=1.840, P=0.04) and daytime drowsiness (F=1.181, P=0.02) were significantly different among the three groups.

For this reason, they provide an incomplete picture of memory defect, and other factors related to recognition memory such as recognition discriminability (RD) and response bias (RB) are not taken into consideration. In this regard, present study aims to examine the effect of amnestic mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer’s disease on RD and RB using the Shiraz verbal learning test (SVLT) compared to healthy peers. Methods & Materials This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 190 eligible older people aged 60-89 years with amnestic MCI, Alzheimer’s disease, and normal memory in Shiraz, Iran, in 2021. The data collection tools were SVLT and mini-mental status examination. Data analysis was done in SPSS software, version 19 using descriptive statistics (No., Mean±SD) and analytical tests (ANOVA and Scheffe’s test). The significance level was set at 0.05. Results The patients with amnestic MCI and Alzheimer’s disease had significantly lower scores than the healthy older people in recognition memory performance (P<0.001). They also had lower scores and more false-positive errors in RD domains (global, semantic, source, and new) (P<0.001). in RB, the patients with Alzheimer’s disease had significantly higher scores than older people with amnestic MCI and normal memory (P<0.001). Conclusion The study of recognition memory performance (RB and RD) in patients with amnestic MCI can provide useful information to predict Alzheimer’s disease in the prodromal stage.","PeriodicalId":44423,"journal":{"name":"Salmand-Iranian Journal of Ageing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83992309","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 study aims to assess the psychometric properties of the Persian version of CTM-15 in Iranian older people. Methods &amp; Materials This is a psychometrics study. The questionnaire was first translated into Persian based on the international quality of life assessment protocol. Then, it was completed by 200 older people who were selected using a convenience sampling method based on the inclusion criteria. After completion, face validity, content validity, construct validity (using confirmatory factor analysis and exploratory factor analysis) and convergent validity were investigated. The reliability of the questionnaire was evaluated in terms of internal consistency (using Cronbach’s α) and test-retest reliability. Statistical analyses were done in SPSS software, version 26 and AMOS software, version 24. Results The content validity index (CVI) for the whole questionnaire was obtained as S-CVI=0.966. Following CFA, the 4-factor solution was not confirmed and did not show a good fit (P<0.001, RMSEA=0.093, GFI=0.851, NFI=0.644, CFI=0.731). After performing EFA, three factors were found and named as “patient and caregiver preferences”, “self-management and follow-up” and “medication management”. Convergence validity of the Persian CTM-15 with GSE-10 was assessed using Pearson’s correlation test which obtained as r=0.468. The internal consistency using Cronbach’s α coefficient was 0.76 and intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.85. Conclusion The Persian version of CTM-15 did not support the 4-factor model of the original version. The Persian version with 3 subscales, due to having acceptable validity and reliability, can be used as an efficient tool to evaluate the transition of care for the elderly in Iran. The benefits of measuring the transition of care and its impact on the promotion of discharge programs and continuity of care in various settings justify the need to pay attention to this tool.","PeriodicalId":44423,"journal":{"name":"Salmand-Iranian Journal of Ageing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135712041","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}

Hence, this study aims to assess the effects of a technology-based exercise program on physical fitness and ADLs of the elderly people with balance impairment residing in nursing homes. Methods & Materials This is a clinical trial that was conducted on 60 older adults with balance impairment living in nursing homes in Shiraz, Iran. They were randomly divided into two groups of intervention (n=30) and control (n=30). The intervention group received technology-based exercises using the Xbox Kinect sensor at two sessions of 30-45 minutes per week for six weeks. The control group received the routine programs of nursing homes including walking and playing table tennis. After six weeks, their physical fitness and ADLs were measured using the senior fitness test (SFT) and the ADL questionnaire in both groups. Results After the intervention, the mean score of ADL significantly increased (from 87.1±10.4 to 92.6±9.1) compared to the control group (from 86.5±11.3 to 85.1±1.2) (P=0.00). In addition, the intervention led to an increase in the SFT tests of chair stand test (P<0.001), arm curl test (P<0.001), chair sit and reach test (P=0.001), back scratch test (P=0.007) and 8-foot up & go test (P=0.001). These changes were not observed in the control group. Conclusion The technology-based exercise program is effective in increasing the physical fitness and ADLs of the elderly people with balance impairment residing in nursing homes, and can be replaced with team sports.","PeriodicalId":44423,"journal":{"name":"Salmand-Iranian Journal of Ageing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78537695","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}
