Though motivation may be an important contributor to initiating and sustaining exercise that may change across the lifespan, little is known about exercise motivation and its relation to age and exercise behavior among women Veterans. This cross-sectional study sought to describe exercise motivations, examine relationships among exercise motivations and age, and explore the degree to which age and motivation predict self-reported exercise behavior among women Veterans. We conducted a secondary data analysis from a regional mail survey of 197 women Veterans (mean age = 51; SD = 10.5) enrolled in Veterans Health Administration primary care in a northeastern region (N = 180 in analysis). Measures included demographics (age, body mass index), self-reported exercise motivation, and an estimate of average weekly exercise. Participants endorsed multiple motivators for exercise, most prominently fitness and health management. Age was significantly negatively related to amount of exercise and with socializing as an exercise motivation. After accounting for body mass index, age was a significant predictor of exercise behavior, and exercise motivations accounted for an additional 7.3% of variance in self-reported weekly exercise. Our results suggest that although motivation is a potentially important predictor of exercise, factors beyond motivation may better predict exercise in women Veterans. Further research is needed on personal and practical facilitators and barriers to exercise in this population.","PeriodicalId":47001,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Women & Aging","volume":" ","pages":"439-449"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141293820","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We further explored associations between sociodemographic measures, insomnia-related clinical characteristics, and unhealthy alcohol use, and analyzed whether women with insomnia were more likely to report unhealthy alcohol use. Study aims were evaluated using national Veterans Health Administration (VA) electronic health records data from VA's Corporate Data Warehouse. Data were extracted for women Veterans ≥50 years old with ≥1 VA primary care visit in each study year (2018: 3/11/18-3/10/19; 2020: 3/11/20-3/10/21; 2022: 3/11/22-3/10/23). Cases of insomnia were identified via diagnostic codes and prescription medications for insomnia. Unhealthy alcohol use was identified via Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test-Consumption screening scores indicating unhealthy alcohol use. Annual sample sizes ranged from 240,420-302,047. Over the study timeframe, insomnia rates (diagnosis or medication) among women ≥50 years old ranged from 18.11-19.29%; co-occurring insomnia and unhealthy alcohol use rates ranged from 2.02-2.52%. Insomnia and unhealthy alcohol use rates were highest among women aged 50-59 years old. Depression and physical health comorbidities were consistently associated with insomnia; associations by race and ethnicity were less consistent. Compared to women without insomnia, women Veterans with either concurrent or unremitting insomnia were more likely to endorse unhealthy alcohol use. Findings signal a potential need for assessment and preventative efforts aimed at addressing insomnia and unhealthy alcohol use among women Veterans.","PeriodicalId":47001,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Women & Aging","volume":" ","pages":"504-517"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142120875","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Behavioral therapies are recommended as first-line treatment for incontinence, yet many VA Medical Centers do not have staff trained to administer them. The purpose of this research study was to conduct a qualitative program evaluation of MyHealtheBladder, a mobile telehealth version of an evidence-based eight-week behavioral treatment program designed for women Veterans with incontinence. MyHealtheBladder uses mobile telehealth technology to teach pelvic floor muscle exercises, bladder control strategies, fluid management, risk factor reduction, and self-monitoring. Eighteen women Veterans who completed a pilot study of MyHealtheBladder participated in semi-structured telephone interviews exploring their experience with the program. A directed content analysis was conducted of the transcribed interview data. Participants described ease of accessing MyHealtheBladder using smart phones and other mobile devices, emphasizing the flexibility of using the program at home, work, or while traveling. Most participants described program content as understandable, relevant, and easy to follow. They discussed how the program increased knowledge of UI, promoted consistency in practicing behavioral therapy, strengthened pelvic floor muscles, reduced urine leakage, and improved psychosocial wellbeing. Suggestions for improvement included more interaction with staff, more individualized tailoring of content to UI type, incorporating in-person clinic visits, and including supplementary material. Participants uniformly endorsed the program and recommended it for other women Veterans, as well as for those in active duty to prevent or treat UI earlier in the life course.","PeriodicalId":47001,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Women & Aging","volume":" ","pages":"475-491"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142336840","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

High levels of positive social support have been linked to a range of positive outcomes in both civilian and military populations. However, research has not consistently explored social support and interpersonal functioning in women veterans, or as potential mechanisms of change within interventions for women veterans. This is a scoping review of peer-reviewed articles that evaluated social support. Articles with at least 10% women or formally evaluated sex or gender in reference to social support were included. A total of 69 studies evaluated social support in relation to women veterans' health outcomes. From a biopsychosocial perspective, social support is an important construct to examine relative to health care engagement and response. Limited research considered aging women veterans needs or focused on the intersectional identities of women veterans. Positive social support can have major physical and mental health benefits, yet limited research and disparate methodological approaches minimize the ability to draw conclusions on how social support can best be leveraged to support women veterans. Women veterans' roles and military experiences (e.g., increased likelihood of combat exposure) are changing and this population is aging. Research is needed to inform best practices for this growing segment of the veteran population.","PeriodicalId":47001,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Women & Aging","volume":"141 1","pages":"1-25"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142178593","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Studies that have disaggregated the population of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning, queer, intersex and two-spirit (LGBTQIS+) older adults reveal that due to minority stress and a lifetime of disadvantage. Lesbians experience higher rates of chronic health conditions and mental health problems (including loneliness) than heterosexual women and greater financial inequalities compared to gay men or heterosexual women. Despite this, limited inquiry has explored the everyday lives of older queer women and fewer still draws upon women's commentary on their own lived experiences or centers older women as authoritative agents and experts on their own lives. In response to this knowledge deficit, this research traverses the aging experiences of female-identified members of a gay square dance (GSD) club in Toronto, Canada. We apply queer theory to explicate the unique ways in which a GSD club queers the aging process for 14 older women dancers. Findings of the inquiry highlight the ways in which these dancers confront and reject heteronormativity, while illuminating pathways to successful aging for older sexual diverse women. The older women dancers in this study perform gender in ways that challenged heteronormativity and gender binaries, enhanced belongingness and acceptance, embodied joy, and fostered wellness. These concepts have been identified as critical factors in successful aging and highlight what queering aging might look like for this resilient population who have overcome a lifetime of disadvantage.","PeriodicalId":47001,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Women & Aging","volume":" ","pages":"382-397"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140913089","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Consumption of versus contribution to social media may moderate this relationship, and the type of content contributed (e.g., self-images or \"selfies\") may further account for variations. A critical limitation of the extant scholarship is a lack of attention to understudied groups, such as older women. Using a cross-sectional sample of 238 midlife women (Mage = 50.92), this study investigated the relationship between social media behavior, perceived effects of social media use, and body image indices. Results indicated that our sample of midlife women contributed mainly photos of their current setting and family, contrasting with prior work among younger women. Results suggested that the type of content contributed may be more pertinent to body image than social media behavior generally, and highlighted complex relationships. Posting photos broadly was associated only with lower drive for youthfulness. However, selfie posting specifically was associated with greater facial satisfaction as well as greater positive (e.g., connectedness) and negative (e.g., appearance concerns) perceived effects of social media, but not drive for youthfulness. Results suggest that the type of content contributed to social media may be a particularly important factor for body image, and highlight complex relationships potentially influenced by unmeasured factors such as social media use motivations. Together, these findings contribute to a fuller understanding of social media and body image and call for further theoretically-driven work in this area to guide effective prevention resources.","PeriodicalId":47001,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Women & Aging","volume":" ","pages":"372-381"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141200990","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Participants were 2.7 times more likely of reporting depressive symptoms after cancer diagnosis compared with pre-cancer diagnosis (95%CI: 2.10-3.48). Race, ethnicity, rurality, marital status, and social interference were significantly associated with an increased risk of depressive symptoms after cancer diagnosis than before their cancer diagnosis (p < 0.05).

Findings revealed a range of changes in sex workers' lives as they aged, financial instability, lack of alternate livelihood options, and limited access to governmental benefits and social security. Participant narratives challenged the notion of anticipated traditional familial support especially from their grown children. Findings were replete with instances of sex workers' personal agency to confront personal and professional challenges. Peer networks formed the biggest forms of support as were sex workers' connections with local community-based groups. There is an urgent need for helping professionals to recognize the ongoing marginalization faced by older sex workers. It is critical to address concerns broadly along with inequities in terms of access and power as experienced by older sex workers.
