Leveraging the advantages of digitized health education, this study employed a participatory approach to engage community-dwelling older adults in co-creating a synchronous tele-education program, with dementia as the focus due to its rising prevalence and associated stigma in Singapore. Our findings demonstrate the preliminary effectiveness and feasibility of tele-education. Participants' feedback and recommendations provided valuable insights and could guide the future development of a comprehensive tele-education program. Participants' satisfaction with the co-design workshops also indicates the potential of involving older generations in the design process of user-centered digital health interventions in online environments. Moving forward, the study advocates collaboration among health institutes, government and social agencies, and community organizations, alongside systematic evaluation of the long-term impacts of tele-education, with the aim of improving health outcomes and reducing health inequalities among the older population.","PeriodicalId":47970,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Gerontology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141735416","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}

Racial and ethnic minorities were disproportionally impacted by the pandemic. The variations in disparities, including racial and ethnic disparities and disparities across communities, in COVID-19-related mortality across the different stages of the COVID-19 pandemic among the ADRD population are unknown. This observational study estimated linear probability models for community-dwelling older adults with ADRD who were diagnosed with COVID-19 in 2020 and 2021 using multiple national data (e.g., Medicare data), accounting for individual and community characteristics. Disparities in 30-day mortality were compared between 2020 and 2021. The socioeconomic disparity in COVID-19-related mortality across communities became insignificant during the later stage of the pandemic, ethnic differences in COVID-19-related mortality decreased but persisted, and racial disparity remained largely unchanged. The study provides insights into interventions to mitigate lingering disparities in health outcomes among the vulnerable population.","PeriodicalId":47970,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Gerontology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141727922","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}

Confirmatory factor analysis results supported a one-factor model with an error correlation between two similarly worded items, χ2(19) = 48.38, p < .001 (RMSEA = .06, SRMR = .03, CFI = .98, TLI = .97). \"Multiple indicators, multiple causes\" model results indicated differential item functioning by age, race, and/or professional discipline on five items. However, subsequent uncorrected and differential item functioning-corrected models detected no statistically significant HPS-8 mean differences by grouping variables. Composite reliability results (CR = .82) demonstrated acceptable internal consistency reliability. Our results support the HPS-8 as a valid and reliable measure of attitudes toward the hospice philosophy of care in hospice clinicians.","PeriodicalId":47970,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Gerontology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141727923","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}

This scoping review synthesizes existing research on family involvement in the care of nursing home residents with advanced dementia. Using the Arksey and O'Malley scoping review framework, electronic searches of PubMed, EBSCO's CINAHL Complete, and APA PsychInfo on the Ovid platform were conducted. Twenty-eight studies met inclusion criteria. Emergent themes and definitions of involvement were obtained through thematic analysis, including: (1) contact (through visitation, calling, or writing letters); (2) engagement in care activities (instrumental/activities of daily living); (3) planning and monitoring care (being aware of health and treatment changes, partnership with care staff, ensuring adequate care, and decision-making); and (4) supporting the resident (advocacy, socioemotional support, and financial support). Moreover, limited psychometrically sound instruments exist to measure family involvement. These limitations stall the progression of research targeting family involvement.","PeriodicalId":47970,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Gerontology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141731514","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}

This retrospective analysis of 7803 patients 65 and older admitted with hip fractures is to estimate the odds of nonoperative treatment and in-hospital mortality after hip fractures among community-dwelling older adults. 13.6% underwent nonoperative treatment. Compared to the group with operative treatment, the nonoperative group had a higher in-hospital mortality rate (6.51% vs. 1.32%, p < .0001). Male sex, nondisplaced fracture, and comorbidities of acute myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, cerebrovascular disorder, dementia, and liver disease were associated with an increased likelihood of nonoperative treatment. Nonoperative treatment, advanced age, use of osteoporosis pharmacotherapy, multiple medical comorbidities, and hospital-acquired complications were associated with increased in-hospital mortality. Specific characteristics were associated with nonoperative management and in-hospital mortality among older adults with hip fractures. Additional research is necessary to improve the care of this vulnerable population.","PeriodicalId":47970,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Gerontology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141727921","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}
