This study aims to fill this data gap by assessing both the objective and subjective prevalence of successful aging in Turkish adults aged ≥ 50 years. The study included 478 older adults (M = 72.11, SD = 10.43), categorized by age range (50-64, 65-74, 75-84 and ≥ 85 years) and residence status (nursing home residents and community-dwelling adults). Participants were compared based on successful aging criteria defined by Rowe and Kahn's model (1997) and a self-rated successful aging item. Descriptive analyses were conducted to assess the prevalence of successful aging. The overall prevalence of successful aging was found to be 6.3% according to Rowe and Kahn's criteria, while 55.2% of participants self-rated themselves as aging successfully. A significant decreasing trend in the prevalence of successful aging components was observed with increasing age, and community-dwelling older adults exhibited a higher prevalence of successful aging components compared to nursing home residents. The findings indicated that nursing home residency and increased age are inversely related to both objective and subjective successful aging. Furthermore, older adults in Türkiye tend to maintain fewer components of successful aging than their counterparts in other countries.","PeriodicalId":46921,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cross-Cultural Gerontology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144576653","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}

Exploratory principal factor analysis using varimax rotation was adopted to explore potential factors of 34 items. Using iterative process, this exploratory principal factor analysis was conducted three times, using the same criteria to retain items. Only factors with Eigenvalues > 1 and associated items with factor loading > = 0.5 and loaded on only one factor were retained for further examination. After the final exploratory principal factor analysis, Cronbach's alpha of each subscale was computed to examine their internal reliability. The construct validity of the final retained subscales was evaluated using the Pearson correlation coefficients between these subscales and dementia knowledge and compassion. The validated scale retained 17 items distributed to four factors or subscales, namely: (1) perception of esthetics of, (2) willingness to help, (3) extremely negative feelings (fear and disgust) toward, and (4) social distance toward people with dementia. All subscales show high reliability. The Modified Lay Public Stigma Scale from FS-ADS is a valid and reliable instrument to assess public stigma among Vietnamese general public in their sociocultural context. The validated scale with its four subscales is not only empirical derived, but also theoretical underpinned, and therefore, importantly contributes to future studies on public stigma among Vietnamese population.","PeriodicalId":46921,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cross-Cultural Gerontology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144259108","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}

More so, the alterations in the filial value for older adults in Nigeria have further threatened the availability and reliance on informal care arrangements. Exploring the experiences of rural-dwelling older adults on the availability of informal care is crucial in strengthening and sustaining the informal care system. Our study explored the perspective of older adults residing in rural parts of southeast Nigeria on their experiences with informal care. Data was collected using a qualitative phenomenological approach from 10 older adults aged 65 and above through semi-structured interviews. The data collected were coded inductively using NVivo 12 and analysed thematically. The findings of our study show that older adults preferred informal care because it provides a customised approach to care, especially in meeting dietary and medication needs. Issues such as economic hardship, declining filial value for older people, and migration of adult children were found to affect the provision of informal care to older adults in Nigeria. Thus, our study strongly recommends preserving filial values for older adults in Nigeria, improving and strengthening family-oriented care, establishing well-equipped and adequately funded care facilities for older adults in rural communities, and developing comprehensive social security for older adults in Nigeria.","PeriodicalId":46921,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cross-Cultural Gerontology","volume":" ","pages":"235-254"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143671486","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}

Because of this, the experience of aging out-of-place may be particularly challenging for refugees and may compromise their ability to adapt to new countries. However, minimal research exists on the experiences of aging refugees who entered the country as adults. Little is known about predictors of quality of life among aging refugees. The present study investigates the direct associations between sociodemographic factors, social connection, and quality of life among aging refugees. Research Design and Methods. A total of 108 refugees ages 50 years and above from Bhutan, Burundi, and Somalia from an upper Midwestern region of the US completed an in-depth survey assessing well-being and social connection. Results. Hierarchical regression indicated that refugees from Africa (i.e., Burundi and Somalia), reported lower quality of life compared to refugees from Bhutan. Older individuals and females reported lower quality of life. However, quality of life was not associated with marital status and length of residence. In terms of social connection, greater social integration and lower loneliness were significantly associated with higher quality of life. Discussion and Implications. This study highlights unique findings for aging refugees, including cultural variations within refugee groups. Implications suggest distinct considerations for best supporting aging refugees' well-being.","PeriodicalId":46921,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cross-Cultural Gerontology","volume":" ","pages":"179-196"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144062756","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 Stimulation Therapy (CST) was initially developed in the UK, lacking in Māori cultural content and values. Cultural adaptation is needed to ensure Māori with dementia can benefit from this evidence-based treatment. This paper reports the outcome of a project aimed to adapt CST for Māori. We followed the five phases of international guidelines using the formative method for adapting CST to other cultures, including a critical cultural examination of the 18 CST principles. We piloted two CST-Māori programmes and collected pre- and post-outcome measures using the RUDAS and the World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL-BREF) questionnaire. Written qualitative feedback was sought from participants and their family at the end of the CST-Māori programme. A total of 15 Māori (female: 53.3%) participated in the two programmes. Their mean age was 75.9 years (SD = 6.6) and mean baseline RUDAS scores was 17.7 (SD = 2.3). There was a statistically significant improvement in cognition (RUDAS: pre = 17.7, post = 19.4, p = 0.003) and in the WHOQOL subscales of physical (pre = 75.9, post = 88.5, p = 0.003), psychological (pre = 72.7, post = 81.3, p = 0.024) and environment (pre-80.6, post = 88.0, p = 0.006). Written feedback confirmed the acceptability of this culturally adapted programme by Māori living with dementia and their whanau (families). CST was successfully adapted for Māori with dementia. It is a culturally acceptable cognitive intervention and preliminary data confirmed the effectiveness of CST-Māori in improving cognition and quality of life.","PeriodicalId":46921,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cross-Cultural Gerontology","volume":" ","pages":"125-136"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12137365/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143701782","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The paper contributes to the research of this topic through a technique for analysing citywide assessment data on age-friendliness. Our study presents the process of validation for the Italian older population of a standardised tool: the Age-Friendly Cities and Communities Questionnaire. The study was conducted in three Italian cities (n = 1,213) on a representative sample of older people who were asked to rate their life in the city, following the dimensions considered essential for a community's age-friendliness by the World Health Organization. Four typologies were differentiated in the analysis, resulting in different views of older adults on their experience of living in the city, showing that people's socioeconomic status and their health situation play a role in shaping their perceptions of age-friendliness.

Focus groups were conducted to explore the lived experiences, beliefs and contextual influences of achieving a healthy lifestyle amongst older multi-ethnic Singaporeans aged ≥ 60 years, residing in a subsidised housing complex. Data were analysed using framework analysis. Results. The lived experiences of 97 participants were complex with shared and individual experiences. Four major themes were developed: (i) stories of pursuing healthy lifestyles in later life, 'Your health belongs to yourself'; (ii) realities of aging, 'Now that family is far from us…friends are our family'; (iii) stories of financial challenges, 'No money, no money' and (iv) stories of health literacy and health navigation behaviour. Barriers (personal, organisational, cultural factors) to adaptive behaviors resulted in different unmet needs in successful aging. Conclusions. Older Singaporeans residing in a subsidised housing complex experienced varying outcomes and multiple challenges to their successful aging. Recommendations for culturally responsive approaches to aging well are made.
