The study aimed to explore how collaborative storytelling functioned as a geragogical practice in an online setting. The study involved 17 Spanish-speaking older immigrants in co-designing an age- and culturally responsive online storytelling curriculum. Through creative and reflective prompts, the virtual sessions facilitated autoethnographic and collaborative storytelling on a range of topics. Thematic analysis identified three interrelated themes in participants' experience: connection in a time of isolation; anti-ageist reclamation; and temporal transcendence. Participants revisited and reinterpreted personal histories, reclaimed a sense of creative authorship, and envisioned new forms of community participation. The paper offers practical strategies for co-designing storytelling activities in community-based learning environments.","PeriodicalId":47970,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Gerontology","volume":" ","pages":"2283-2291"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13672903/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145597831","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}

Social isolation and loneliness were exposures; depression, physical inactivity, and chair-rise difficulty were mediators; OA onset was the outcome. Structural equation modeling tested mediation, adjusting for covariates.ResultsNo direct associations were found; both exposures had significant indirect effects via depression and functional decline. Chair-rise difficulty was the strongest mediator (β = 0.74, p < 0.001), followed by depression (β = 0.04, p = 0.033). Physical inactivity acted indirectly through chair-rise difficulty (β = 0.26, p < 0.001).
