This study examines the effect of basic psychological needs satisfaction on well-being, in line with self-determination theory. The study investigates how this effect occurs through affective mediation and how it is influenced by perceptions of aging. Data were gathered from 818 older adults regarding their basic psychological needs satisfaction, positive and negative affect, well-being, and attitudes toward aging. Controlling for age and physical health, the results show that the satisfaction of psychological needs results in an increase in positive affect and a decrease in negative affect, ultimately shaping well-being. The variability among individuals becomes apparent through the crucial role of aging self-perceptions in moderating this effect. This study is significant because it reveals how affect mediates basic psychological needs satisfaction and well-being while emphasizing the relevance of aging self-perceptions. Practical implications include shaping gerontological education and effective engagement strategies with the elderly demographic.

This three-arm randomized controlled trial aimed to compare the effectiveness of combined mindfulness and self-regulation-based intervention with self-regulation-based intervention on self-care behaviors of Iranian older adults with diabetes in 2021–2022. Three public diabetic clinics were randomly assigned to three study groups and then 45 participants were randomly recruited from every clinic. 24-week educational interventions via WhatsApp included a self-regulation-based intervention (SRIP), a combined mindfulness and self-regulation intervention (CMSRIP), and routine care with training on COVID-19 prevention were performed in two intervention groups and a control group respectively. Data were collected at baseline and four and 16 weeks using a Mindfulness-based questionnaire (MSCS) and a summary of the diabetes self-care activities scale (SDSCA). The SPSS software (V. 22) was used to analyze data through ANOVA test, chi-square tests, one-way ANOVA, Levene’s test, and Repeated measures MANCOVA at a significance level of less than 0.05. The total scores of MSCS and SDSCA in four and 16 weeks significantly increased compared to the baseline in both SRIP and CMSRIP groups (P < .001), but not in the control group. The mean scores of MSCS and SDSCA at week 4 in CMSRIP group improved significantly more than SRIP group (98.43 ± 5.83 vs. 90.31 ± 12.62 and 70.38 ± 4.18 vs. 62.35 ± 5.53). Combined mindfulness and self-regulation education are significantly effective in promoting self-care skills and improving cognitive processes and can used to improve older adults’ self-care behaviors.Trial registration numberThis trial (ISRCTN77260130) was retrospectively registered on 28/09/2021.

It can be difficult to engage students in the field. One method to engage students with aging is through oral history assignments. This study explored the impact of an active assignment (interviewing an older adult) compared to a passive assignment (watching a video of an older adult being interviewed) on ageism. Students were randomly assigned into two sections of an online gerontology course. The sections were identical except one section conducted an interview of an older adult (n = 40), and the second section watched a video of older adults being interviewed (N = 37). Each student completed a pre- and post-assignment survey, which included an ageism scale. Differences were analyzed using t-tests and repeated measures ANOVA. Results: Ageism declined significantly for both sections (from an average of 56 to 50 for the interview section, and from 55 to 47 for the video section). The change was not significantly different across sections. Both sections reported high satisfaction with the assignment. A majority (97%) of students in both sections reported that they were able to relate class lessons to the interview and that the assignment impacted their thoughts about aging (95%). Conclusions: Both watching and actively participating in an interview was a positive assignment for students and resulted in a decrease in ageism. Using a video alternative may be particularly useful for classes where facilitating community interaction may be difficult.

There are many self-directed learning (SDL) tools available that measure the SDL abilities of nursing students and healthcare professionals. However, fewer SDL tools specifically designed for middle-aged and older adults have been developed. The purpose of this research was to examine and confirm the factor structure and the internal consistency of the SRSSDL-adult scale, specifically for middle-aged and older adult learners enrolled in senior learning centers. A cross-sectional method was adopted. Both Exploratory Factor Analysis and Confirmatory Factor Analysis were conducted to assess the structural validity of the scale. The internal consistency was determined using the Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient. The results indicated that the five factors – learning needs assessment skills, learning planning skills, learning execution skills, self-assessment skills, and interpersonal skills – showed acceptable levels of reliability. The revised 25-item SRSSDL-adult scale was found to be a valid measure of middle-aged and older adults’ self-directed learning abilities in the context of senior education programs. The findings of this study have the potential to be utilized by educational institutions and educators involved in senior education programs.
