A cross-sectional, multi-informant design included 121 nurse-family member encounters across three facilities. Nurses reported cultural awareness and positive emotions; family members rated satisfaction after each encounter. A double moderated multiple linear regression with hierarchical variable entry was used to test the study hypotheses. Cultural awareness alone did not significantly predict satisfaction (b = -0.07, p = .525). However, cultural dissimilarity was associated with lower satisfaction (b = -0.35, p < .001), and higher nurse-reported positive emotions were also accompanied by reduced satisfaction (b = -0.13, p = .015). Cultural awareness interacted with both moderators: its effect on satisfaction was stronger when dissimilarity was low (b = -0.51, p = .040) and emotional expression was high (b = -0.33, p = .029). These findings highlight the complexity of cultural and emotional dynamics in shaping family satisfaction in care.","PeriodicalId":47970,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Gerontology","volume":" ","pages":"7334648251383639"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145309563","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A photo captioning intervention can promote perspective-taking by guiding caregivers to capture the inner voice of the PLWD. Caregivers' approaches to captioning may be an important mechanism of intervention efficacy. Using a mixed-methods design including subgroup parallel sampling and descriptive content-analysis of 310 captions from an intervention trial, we identified patterns in caregivers' photo captioning. Captions from caregivers who experienced increases in perspective-taking (1) maintained first-person, PLWD focused language, (2) highlighted engagement and intention, and (3) illustrated resilient living. Captions from caregivers who experienced little-to-no increases in perspective-taking (1) offered inconsistent, incomplete phrasing, (2) provided generic, detached descriptions, and (3) adopted a negative, critical tone. Captions from both subgroups (1) connected PLWDs' emotions to events and (2) recorded PLWDs' wonders, wants, and wishes. Results support the development and refinement of perspective-taking interventions to maximize caregiver benefits.","PeriodicalId":47970,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Gerontology","volume":" ","pages":"7334648251378791"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145276436","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Eighty-five residents participated in a cross-sectional survey following their experience with a series of AR-based modules. Partial least squares structural equation modeling showed that attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control significantly predicted continuous use intention, explaining 69.0% of the variance. Perceived usefulness and playfulness shaped attitude, while interpersonal influence and self-efficacy influenced subjective norms and perceived behavioral control, respectively. Perceived usefulness demonstrated both direct and indirect effects on use intention. Findings support the theoretical fit of the DTPB in evaluating technology-based interventions for older adults. Integration of AR aromatherapy education into long-term care may enhance resident engagement and support non-pharmacological BPSD management.","PeriodicalId":47970,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Gerontology","volume":" ","pages":"7334648251380904"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145259669","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using validated self-report measures, hierarchical multiple regression identified psychological and sociodemographic predictors of depressive symptoms. Results indicated that psychological well-being, the presence of existential meaning, and subjective happiness were significantly and negatively correlated with depressive symptoms. Well-being and presence of existential meaning emerged as the strongest independent predictors, while the search for meaning was not significant. Social support from children was associated with lower depressive symptoms, whereas living alone and receiving care from paid caregivers predicted higher levels. Additionally, advanced age and low income were identified as risk factors. These findings suggest that positive psychological resources, particularly well-being and existential meaning, serve as protective factors against depressive symptoms in later life.","PeriodicalId":47970,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Gerontology","volume":" ","pages":"7334648251386540"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145259590","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, the aims of this study were to: (1) determine the mediating role of depression in the association between ACEs and SCD; and (2) assess the moderating role of gender. Data were obtained from the 2023 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Study (BRFSS) survey (N = 38,600). Crude and adjusted path analyses were used to determine the mediating role of depression between ACEs and SCD. Adjusted analyses controlled for sociodemographic confounders. ACEs were positively associated with depression (B = 0.129, p < 0.001), depression was positively associated with SCD (B = 0.224, p < 0.001), and ACEs were positively associated with SCD (B = 0.066, p < 0.001). Depression mediated the association between ACEs and SCD in the overall population (B = 0.029, p < 0.001), and for men (B = 0.025, p < 0.001) and women (B = 0.032, p < 0.001).
