Limited information about program effectiveness for minority caregivers may further exacerbate health disparities and contribute to unmet needs. Guided by the PRISMA guidelines, this systematic review aimed to determine whether 37 evidence-based dementia caregiving programs were efficacious with racially and ethnically diverse caregiving populations. Using six databases (APA PsycINFO, APA PsycArticles, Academic Search Elite, Academic Search Premier, CINAHL, and Scopus), 140 empirical studies were identified as program evaluation studies of the 37 programs with diverse populations. After reviewing these articles, 24 empirical studies supported 11 programs as efficacious with racially/ethnically diverse populations. The 24 studies form three categories: no program alterations; targeted recruitment efforts; and program adaptations that address culturally specific needs. The findings of this review underscore the gaps in current family caregiving programs and identify the need for culturally appropriate programs.","PeriodicalId":47970,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Gerontology","volume":" ","pages":"1125-1141"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142582761","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}

Methods: A modified Delphi process engaged participants from organizations serving people living with dementia and care partners, focusing on historically and currently underserved communities. Eight thematic areas were identified. Participants (N = 40) responded to three surveys, generating ideas, rating each, and ranking priorities. Results: Each survey received 13-17 responses. Top ranked ideas were arrayed across six thematic areas: care partner supports; programs; funding; information; care coordination; and workforce development. Discussion: The Delphi process empowered participants to share knowledge, and respected their opinions. Anonymity removed power imbalances. The survey iterations blended qualitative and quantitative approaches, and built consensus. The Delphi invited the voices of diverse participants; all voices were weighed equally. This process could be extended to efforts to further engage dementia care partners, helping to value their voices in decision-making for services and policies.","PeriodicalId":47970,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Gerontology","volume":" ","pages":"1142-1149"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142592005","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 qualitative study, which involved six virtual focus groups with a total of 21 participants inclusive of TGD adults ages 50+, service providers, and community advocates, we sought to examine the healthcare and social service experiences and needs of TGD older adults in Canada. Drawing theoretically on critical gerontology and intersectionality, and methodologically on interpretive description, we examined the perspectives of different participant groups to develop insight into TGD older adults' issues and priorities in the context of their engagements with systems of care. Our findings revealed the role of histories of marginalization, precarity, contemporary sources of intersectional oppression, and resistance in shaping the experiences of this population, while also highlighting community-driven ground-up activities to address evolving needs. Drawing on this conceptualization, we explored the implications of our research for ongoing inquiry, policy, and practice.","PeriodicalId":47970,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Gerontology","volume":" ","pages":"1039-1046"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12163191/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142510466","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}

It departs from previous closure-focused research by analyzing the duration of facility operation. A Cox regression model was employed to assess the impact of regional, governmental, and individual institutional factors on 199 facilities across diverse areas in Taiwan from 2011 to 2019. Results demonstrate closure hazards associated with rising property prices, particularly for rented facilities, with metropolitan locations exhibiting superior survival rates and lower institutional appraisal grades significantly increasing closure. Additionally, operator background, facility type, and bed occupancy emerged as influential factors. These findings underscore the financial vulnerability of rented facilities to market fluctuations and the challenges associated with adjusting resident fees. Furthermore, the study highlights the unique challenges faced by facilities in low-density areas regarding resident access to resources. Policymakers should closely monitor regional factors and consider proactively implementing early warning systems to address these challenges.","PeriodicalId":47970,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Gerontology","volume":" ","pages":"1011-1021"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142630559","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}

Robots can improve independent living and facilitate aging-in-place. Despite recent innovations in healthcare robotics, the use of robots has not advanced significantly among older adults. This review seeks to understand human-robot interactions in older adults, focusing on their experiences and perceptions of robots for independent living. We identified 17 studies that utilized qualitative methods to investigate older adults and/or their caregivers' experiences and perceptions of robots designed to help older adults improve independent living. Drawing on content analysis, we identified eight themes: usefulness, ease of use, safety, reliability, self-efficacy, satisfaction, emotional connection with the robot and reciprocity, and intention to use. The findings provide insights to improve existing robots and guide future research about designing robots with higher acceptance. This review may have implications for policymakers, practitioners, and researchers working with robotics to support healthy aging-in-place.","PeriodicalId":47970,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Gerontology","volume":" ","pages":"1109-1124"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12167747/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142840033","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}
