Employing mixed methodologies, we evaluated viewer reach, engagement, and satisfaction for 28 workshops from the series, delivered from May 2020 to December 2024. The series reached 1,427 pre-registered individuals and 1,124 workshop attendees. Themes from attendee engagement revealed information requests, sharing personal experiences, and gratitude for presenters' contributions. Approximately 106 participants (7.4%) completed post-workshop surveys, indicating high overall satisfaction. Themes from survey data included appreciation for presenters, satisfaction with community resources, and centering Black community needs. Findings suggested the workshops effectively engaged Black communities and facilitated participant communication. Future research will address enhancing evaluation survey completion.","PeriodicalId":47970,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Gerontology","volume":" ","pages":"7334648251378273"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145055883","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}

Nearly half of cases involved suspicion of multiple forms of mistreatment. The neglecting caregiver was most often the patient's child. We identified nine key themes from these cases: (1) caregiver impairment, (2) conflict between caregivers, (3) sudden appearance of relative or new \"friend\" offering to help, (4) inadequate supervision or care, (5) unsafe physical home environment, (6) isolation from family and friends, (7) delays in seeking medical care, (8) interference with care, and (9) attempts to honor patient preferences.

We conducted a retrospective cohort study of HCBS enrollees in a single state aged 65 or older (N = 7,176). We linked clinical assessment data and up to 12 months of medical claims data following clinical assessment at the individual level. After controlling for covariates, we found no difference in ED use between those with and those without dementia. Individuals with dementia had a lower relative rate of hospitalizations than those without dementia (rate ratio = 0.90, p = 0.03). We conclude that dementia was not associated with an increase in ED visits and that dementia was associated with less hospital use, among older adults receiving Medicaid HCBS. More research is needed to understand how and why dementia confers no greater risk for ED and hospital use among Medicaid HCBS beneficiaries.","PeriodicalId":47970,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Gerontology","volume":" ","pages":"7334648251377491"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145030881","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}

While many welfare technology living lab studies focus on single devices, integrating multiple digital tools may offer greater emotional and cognitive benefits. This study investigates the effects of a living lab-based intervention using two digital devices: one targeting cognitive function (D1) and the other targeting physical function (D2). A community-based pretest-posttest design was conducted in South Korea with 65 participants, divided into three groups using D1, D2, or both. Over 10 weeks, participants attended weekly 60-minute sessions. Results showed the combined use of D1 and D2 led to greater reductions in anxiety, depression, and memory loss than single-device interventions. These findings highlight the importance of integrating cognitive and physical activities through interactive technology. This study contributes to social gerontology by demonstrating the value of multi-modal digital interventions in supporting older adults' care.","PeriodicalId":47970,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Gerontology","volume":" ","pages":"7334648251377150"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145024482","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, we investigated psychological well-being, care-related burden, and communication challenges of 67 relatives of older patients with dementia (RPwD) versus 60 relatives of older patients with a psychiatric disorder (RPP) at the time of hospitalization. RPwD reported significantly higher levels of depression and care-related burden compared to RPP (there was a similar non-significant trend for anxiety). RPwD reported more communication problems with the patients, while they appeared more satisfied regarding the communication with the clinical staff. Both groups reported similar levels of stress and resilience. The present study extends previous findings demonstrating that taking care of an older relative with dementia, but also with a psychiatric disorder, is a great burden. Professional support to maintain the well-being of relatives of older patients is recommended.","PeriodicalId":47970,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Gerontology","volume":" ","pages":"7334648251372691"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145024454","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}

In this paper, we report on experiences of dementia care from the perspectives of spouses/partners. Participants included 15 people living with dementia (20% women, 20% people of color); 15 spouses/partners (73% women, 27% people of color). Individual experiences varied, but underlying patterns emerged: 1) Caregiving approaches were grounded in loyalty and commitment 2) Spouses/partners struggled to accept changes occurring with dementia progression, and 3) As verbal skills diminished, spouses/partners found meaning in small gestures. Spousal/partner dementia care poses unique challenges and rewards. Identifying underlying motivations and sources of strength can support the caregiving experience.","PeriodicalId":47970,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Gerontology","volume":" ","pages":"1414-1423"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12238297/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142956725","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
