The data included 134,538 cases of self-neglect validated by adult protective services among people 65+ years old from 2020 to 2023. We aggregated county population figures from US Census Bureau estimates and used negative binomial regression models to estimate the association of race/ethnicity, gender, and region type with self-neglect case counts. Self-neglect incidence among Black older adults was about twice that of White older adults, a difference that persisted across metropolitan regions. Black-White differences were more pronounced in Northwest rural regions but were absent in the El Paso region. Hispanic-White differences varied across both metropolitan and rural regions. In the Arlington region, for example, self-neglect incidence among Hispanic older adults was less than that of White older adults, whereas in San Antonio it was greater. Addressing self-neglect among Black and Hispanic older adults should anticipate that different communities may require distinct approaches. Future studies with more geographic units should build on this descriptive study to explain variation in racial/ethnic group differences in self-neglect incidence.","PeriodicalId":47579,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Gerontological Social Work","volume":" ","pages":"1-14"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144267627","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, existing studies rarely present a comprehensive view of well-being from this perspective. This study explores the impact of community music care on older adults' well-being using a mixed-method approach. The qualitative part involved semi-structured interviews with 10 community-dwelling older adults to understand their experiences and perceptions. The quantitative part surveyed 166 older adults in Penghu County, Taiwan-an area with a high aging population-to examine the correlation between music care and well-being. The results indicate that community music care significantly improves mental health, social interaction, and overall well-being. Interviews also revealed that music care strengthens emotional connections and alleviates loneliness. These findings offer practical insights for communities and long-term care institutions in designing music-based activities and provide a strategic foundation for policymakers to enhance older adults' well-being through long-term care initiatives.","PeriodicalId":47579,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Gerontological Social Work","volume":" ","pages":"1-28"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144267626","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Faith-based nursing homes are key players in the provision of care to the most vulnerable aging groups, including adults with dementia. Yet, little is known about the challenges administrators of these facilities encounter. The present study addresses this knowledge gap by identifying the primary stressors administrators of faith-based nursing home experience and the strategies they deploy to cope with the challenges. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 21 administrators located in 14 Chinese provinces. The findings indicate the two most prominent stressors are: managing residents with dementia, and procuring sufficient staff, followed by financial pressures, dealing with governmental regulations, and interacting with difficult family members. The most common coping strategy was operationalizing spiritual practices (e.g. prayer), followed by addressing the cited stressors (e.g. recruiting staff continuously) and using personalized strategies (e.g. walking in nature). The mean level of salience assigned to spiritual coping was 9.43 (SD = 1.40) on the 0-10 scale, indicating spirituality was a critical resource for most respondents. The findings underscore the importance of supporting administrators' spirituality to help mitigate burnout and maintain a high level of functioning in the face of significant challenges.","PeriodicalId":47579,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Gerontological Social Work","volume":" ","pages":"1-20"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144209884","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the wide disparity in the experiences of SIL among racialized older adults (ROAs) is underreported, with little attention given to the language that ROAs use when narrating their experience of SIL. With its unique focus on the language used within existing qualitative research in describing SIL among ROAs in Canada, this paper aims to shed light on how the discourse informs ideas about ROAs' lives. Using a critical discourse analysis guided by critical race theory, data was generated from 10 purposively selected qualitative articles conducted with ROAs across four provinces in Canada: Ontario, Quebec, Alberta and British Columbia. Participants identified as Chinese, Black Africans and Caribbeans, Koreans, Spanish, Filipinos, former Yugoslavians, Iranians and Indians. Discourses of barriers, loss and vulnerability, struggles and resistance, (dis)connection, and settlement experience were dominant themes. The findings highlight the interrelated and linked aging experiences among diverse ROAs regardless of ethnicity, race, culture, province of residence, and country of birth. Therefore, to mitigate their overall experience of SIL, a conducive and enabling environment encompassing research, policy, and practice that promotes the thriving of ROAs in Canada is warranted.","PeriodicalId":47579,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Gerontological Social Work","volume":" ","pages":"1-27"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144152393","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
