This study aims to determine the effect of the Johnson model-based program on medication adherence among the elderly with hypertension. Methods & Materials The present study was a clinical trial that was performed on the elderly with hypertension referred to the Shahid Aval comprehensive health service center in Isfahan City, Iran. Through the convenience sampling method, 70 older adults were selected and randomly divided into intervention and control groups. For the intervention group, 6 sessions of a family-based medication adherence program were performed based on the Johnson model. Demographic characteristics questionnaire and sphygmomanometer were used to collect data. Data were analyzed by SPSS version 22 statistical software using independent t test, Chi-square, and repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results No difference was observed between the two groups in terms of the distribution of demographic characteristics. Mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure before the intervention in the group were not significantly different, but immediately and three months after the intervention in the intervention group, it was significantly lower than the control group(P<0.05). Conclusion Johnson’s model-based program was effective in lowering hypertension in the elderly. Therefore, the method used in the present study is proposed to older adults and elderly care nurses as a simple, non-invasive, low-cost, and effective method of reducing hypertension.","PeriodicalId":44423,"journal":{"name":"Salmand-Iranian Journal of Ageing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84665893","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}

Cognitive disorders are also one of the most common problems in aging, which in turn exposes them at risk. Aging is associated with significant changes in memory, intelligence, perception, metacognition, recall, problem-solving, and other cognitive abilities. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of cognitive rehabilitation in improving the cognitive abilities of the elderly. Methods & Materials The present study was a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The statistical population included elderly people living in nursing homes in Kermanshah City, Iran, from which 24 people were selected by convenience sampling method and according to the inclusion criteria and were randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups. The experimental group underwent 20 sessions of 35 minutes twice a week with the Captain Log cognitive rehabilitation program, during which time the control group did not receive any intervention. After the intervention, post-test was performed for both groups. Research tools included a cognitive rescue skills questionnaire and Captain Log rehabilitation software. Descriptive statistics and univariate and multivariate analysis of covariance were used to analyze the data using SPSS software, version 24. Results The results of data analysis showed that F statistic for dependent components, including memory (F=193.57, P<0.001), selective attention (F=375.43, P<0.001), decision-making (F=39.20, P<0.001), planning (F=120.003, P<0.001), sustained attention (F=312.07, P<0.001), flexibility (F=91.44, P<0.001), and social cognition (F=4.48, P<0.05) are significant at the level of 0.05 and 0.01. Therefore, it can be concluded that the cognitive rehabilitation program has improved the cognitive abilities of the elderly. Conclusion Considering that cognitive rehabilitation has a significant effect on the neural activities of brain areas related to cognitive abilities and improves their function, it can be used as a suitable method to improve cognitive abilities.","PeriodicalId":44423,"journal":{"name":"Salmand-Iranian Journal of Ageing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87863398","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}

Results The results showed that primary school textbooks have addressed the problem of aging from a psychological perspective to some extent, but the texts and images have been at a low level in terms of content and quality of effect in primary school children, which is the period of their personality formation, and has indirectly introduced an elderly person disable and impressible. Therefore, these textbooks do not strongly reproduce the psychological characteristics of the elderly. Their presentation focuses more on the quality of communication with others and neglects other psychological components.

In this regard, this article aims to investigate the patterns of living arrangements of older adults and its socio-demographic correlates. Methods & Materials A secondary analysis of micro-census data for 2006 and 2016 was used. The study population include people aged 60 and over living in households. Multinomial logistic regression tests and SPSS26 were used to data analysis. Results Living with a spouse and children is the dominant form of living arrangements for older adults in Iran. However, the share of this pattern has been almost stable in the decade 2006-2016, and in contrast, the share of older adults living alone has increased from 12% to 15%. The results indicated a significant gender difference in the pattern of living alone and its prevalence in elderly women (24.1%) was four times higher for older than older men (5.6%). Also, the results showed that with increasing age, the probability of living alone increases and with increasing the level of education of the older adults, the probability of living alone decreases. In addition, rural older adults are more likely to live alone than urban older adults. Conclusion Although living with a spouse and children is still the dominant pattern, the living alone of older adults is increasing. Women are more likely to live alone than older men and face more problems. Therefore, paying attention to the issues and problems of the alone elderly women should be the headline of the country’s welfare programs and policies. In addition, by creating employment in rural areas, it is possible to prevent the migration of young people to the city to some extent and reduce the possibility of living alone among rural older adults.","PeriodicalId":44423,"journal":{"name":"Salmand-Iranian Journal of Ageing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74903028","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}

Therefore the present study aims to compare the prevalence of risk factors affecting ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), type of treatment, and mortality rate in these two groups. Methods & Materials This retrospective cohort study included 1 071 elderly and middle-aged ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients who had referred to Kermanshah Imam Ali Hospital for 23 months from January 2017 to November 2019. Demographic information, cardiovascular risk factors, type of treatment, and mortality were examined. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, independent t test, and Chi-square test in Stata software version 14 with a significance level of 0.05. Results In the present study, the prevalence of risk factors, including smoking, high triglyceride, overweight, and obesity in the middle-aged group was significantly more than the elderly group (P < 0.05). The low-density lipoprotein (LDL) mean (mg/dL) in the middle-aged group (99.26 ± 71.69) was significantly higher than the elderly group (96.29 ± 8.5) (P < 0.05). The rate of primary angioplasty use was higher in the middle-aged (55.31%) than in the elderly (48.52%). Other results indicated that the overall mortality rate in the elderly (15.7%) was higher than in the middle-aged (4.4%) (P < 0.001). The prevalence of myocardial infarction, stroke, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) < 60 was significantly higher in the elderly group compared to the middle-aged (P < 0.05). Conclusion The prevalence of low glomerular filtration rate (GFR), hyperlipidemia, and hypertension, myocardial infarction and stroke is higher in the elderly than in the middle-aged, while the prevalence of vital risk factors, such as smoking, triglycerides, overweight, and obesity in the middle-aged group is significantly higher than the elderly.

The source used is the data of the general population and housing census and the analysis unit is the counties of the country. Pearson correlation and analysis of variance in SPSS software, version 22 were used to analyze the data and geographic information system (GIS) was used to display spatial distribution maps. Results The study of the migration process in the cities showed that the immigrant-first cities have gone towards aging by losing their young population, while the young cities are mostly receiver-migrant. As a result, the proportion of elder cities is increasing every year. The correlation between the net migration rate and the aging index indicates the inverse relationship (-0.363, -0.303, and -0.216) of these two variables during all periods; as the net migration rate increases, the aging index decreases. The results of the analysis of variance also showed the net migration rate at the county level is significantly different (P = 0.000). The spatial distribution also showed that immigrant-first cities in the western and northwestern regions have a higher rate of aging compared to other regions.
