Since its inception in 1981, AAA has served as a professional outlet for research on the development and implications of activities on quality of life and life satisfaction for older adults. Our job as the new Editors in Chief of AAA is to build on the journal’s legacy. We also aim to be current and international in content. Thus, we welcome enquiries for special issue proposals and submissions that will help us to achieve our aims. Moving forward, we wish to build on our inaugural editorial and bring AAA to life with a continuous stream of editorials. We view editorials as a useful vehicle to shape the future of AAA, and to share our views as editors on where the field should be heading. Our editorials will also be open access as part of our commitment to democratize knowledge. Finally, we wish to convey our deepest appreciation to Taylor and Francis for the opportunity to lead AAA, and to thank Linnea M. Couture for her immense contributions to AAA since its inception. Linnea will be accorded the status ‘Editor Emeritus’ to commemorate her stewardship of the journal.","PeriodicalId":45731,"journal":{"name":"Activities Adaptation & Aging","volume":"45 1","pages":"179 - 179"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2021-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42738109","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 is a cross-sectional study with a sample of 41 older adults (50+ years) with lower-extremity osteoarthritis. The instruments used were as follows: International Physical Activity Questionnaire, Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score, Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score and TPB exercise scale. The Western Ontario and McMaster Osteoarthritis Index scores were calculated and used in the statistical analysis. Results revealed that attitudes and perceived behavioral control were statistically significant predictors of physical activity intentions. Attitudes and perceived behavioral control accounted for 46% of the variance in physical activity intentions. Subjective norms did not evidence a significant effect. Knowledge of the predictors of physical activity intentions can guide researchers and clinicians in the development of interventions that are tailored to the personal characteristics and needs of older adults with chronic diseases.","PeriodicalId":45731,"journal":{"name":"Activities Adaptation & Aging","volume":"46 1","pages":"60 - 72"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2021-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/01924788.2021.1916717","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42658061","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}

{"title":"Resilience in the Face of Disaster: Psychosocial Effects of the 2017 Northern California Wildfires in Caregivers and Persons with Cognitive Impairment Participating in an Integrative Group Movement Program at an Adult Day Center","authors":"F. Nicosia, Sienna Williams, Tatiana P. Dannenbaum, D.

We investigated the impact of the Northern California 2017 wildfires on PWCI and caregivers who were participating in a research study of an integrative group movement program at an adult day center affected by the fires. One month and 7 months after the fires, we sent caregivers a survey that included the 10-item Perceived Stress Scale (PSS, range: 0–40) and open-ended questions to assess the psychosocial impact of the fires on PWCI and caregivers. We used paired t-tests to analyze PSS responses and qualitative content analysis for open-ended responses. Thirteen of the 17 caregivers returned at least one survey. Caregivers reported moderate levels of perceived stress at both time points, with no change over time (PSS mean: 20.4 vs. 21.3, p = .31). We identified three psychosocial domains impacted by the fires. First, both PWCI and caregivers experienced emotional distress. Second, PWCI exhibited a range of cognitive responses, including confusion and disorientation, no impact, hyperawareness, and improved cognitive function and adaptability. Third, despite emotional distress, some caregivers reported increased self-efficacy. Our results provide evidence of resilience in some PWCI and caregivers in response to the fires, despite emotional distress. This resilience may have been due to the sense of community that sometimes occurs following natural disasters, or it may have been a result of participating in the study, which was designed to promote social/emotional connectedness and may have provided a source of continuity and support during a time of tragedy.","PeriodicalId":45731,"journal":{"name":"Activities Adaptation & Aging","volume":"46 1","pages":"46 - 59"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2021-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/01924788.2021.1916716","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42872836","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 book provides a visual and almost verbal perspective of the events that discovered periprosthetic osteolysis, how alternative types of hip replacements were tested and examined, and what steps were taken to implement alternatives both legally and clinically. Periprosthetic osteolysis in total hip replacements is best described as localized bone degeneration or erosion near the prosthetic device. Clinical examples of actual patients are presented as a way to validate the issues being described and to evaluate the utility of findings. Two key strengths emerge from the book. The first is the intersection of clinical practice and research methodology that is demonstrated. The author clearly documents the process of determining an issue within clinical care and transcending this to a thorough research examination of the problem, hypothesizing solutions, and analyzing data. The reader will be able to ascertain the clinical and research utility of the process described for discovering periprosthetic osteolysis and finding an alternative for total hip replacement. The second strength is the book makes evident a thorough examination of a clinical issue and utilizes outside-of-the-box thinking where applicable, whereby setting aside clinical findings or what can be seen. Harris notes that he asked what happened inside the hip when walking when all other questions had been exhausted. His discussion of the resulting byproducts illustrates to the reader the range of alternatives and options that were considered for periprosthetic osteolysis and finding alternatives. Overall, all sides of the process, both good and bad, were discussed; this is appreciated as it examines ethical dilemmas as well as the anxiety that may happen when conducting research. Two weaknesses were seen in the book. First, and foremost, is the limited audience for the book. Rehabilitation professionals, medical students overall, and students within biomedical ethics, history of medicine, social science research, or medical research courses may have a need for a book such as this as it explores the intersection of clinical practice and research. The second weakness is that the book does include medical terminology that not all may be able to figure out. While the book does a good job of limiting this, it is present at times. In summary, Vanishing Bone: Conquering a Stealth Caused by Total Hip Replacements is an interesting read. The processes and practices that were utilized demonstrate an evidence-based approach for the interdisciplinary clinical practice of today.","PeriodicalId":45731,"journal":{"name":"Activities Adaptation & Aging","volume":"45 1","pages":"261 - 261"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2021-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/01924788.2021.1916316","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47766910","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}
