A total of 414 older Hong Kong adults were randomly assigned to the intervention group, which received 12-week health coaching sessions, and the control group without intervention. Participants in the intervention group completed assessments at three time points (baseline, postintervention, and three-month follow-up), and those in the control group completed baseline and three-month follow-up assessments. Generalized estimating equations first revealed a significant improvement in self-efficacy and blood pressures among the intervention group participants, and such improvements were maintained at follow-up. In addition, the self-efficacy of the intervention group significantly increased while that of the control group significantly decreased from baseline to follow-up. Thus, the overall results demonstrate the effectiveness of the health coaching intervention in improving the self-efficacy of older adults in managing their chronic diseases and health risks.","PeriodicalId":47970,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Gerontology","volume":" ","pages":"7334648251336537"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144057667","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 nationally representative survey of Directors of Nursing was analyzed to assess changes in medication initiation at the peak of the pandemic. NHs with higher COVID-19 mortality rates were less likely to report increases in antidementia medication initiation. COVID-19 mortality rates were not associated with significant increases or decreases in psychotropic initiation. NH's that reported increased resident behavioral problems during the pandemic had higher odds of psychotropic initiation. In summary, NHs most affected by COVID-19 deaths were less likely than NHs with a milder pandemic experience to increase initiation of antidementia medications. Increased behavioral symptoms, possibly due to consequences of COVID-19, were associated with more psychotropic drug use. More research is needed to understand factors influencing prescribing practices during public health emergencies.","PeriodicalId":47970,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Gerontology","volume":" ","pages":"7334648251332388"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143990747","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}

Further, cultural values inform the utilization of available supportive programs and may influence participation in community-based dementia-support interventions. This paper discusses attitudes and perspectives on participating in community-based dementia-support interventions using a focus group methodology of Hispanic/Latino staff (n = 5). Findings from longitudinal focus groups (n = 3) with Hispanic/Latino staff, serving predominantly Hispanic/Latino populations, are presented. Findings highlight the value of research funding to support immediate care-related needs over future-focused research. They also emphasize the importance of culturally appropriate terminology and the centrality of cultural values that align with dementia-support research to effectively engage Hispanic/Latino populations. As supportive interventions for dementia caregivers are developed and implemented in real-world settings, including and aligning with cultural elements (i.e., family-oriented, family relationships) may encourage greater participation of Hispanic/Latino caregivers in research.","PeriodicalId":47970,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Gerontology","volume":" ","pages":"7334648251331719"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143991189","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 four waves of longitudinal survey data from the 2016-2022 Health and Retirement Study conducted by the University of Michigan and multivariate, individual-level regressions, we found that the cognitive impairment but no dementia (CIND) and ADRD groups exhibited similar patterns in hospitalizations, hospital visits, and total hospital days compared to the normal cognition group. However, CIND was significantly associated with increased odds of SNF stays (odds ratio [OR], 1.22) and a higher number of SNF visits (incidence rate ratio [IRR], 1.45) than the normal cognition group. Higher odds of any SNF stay (OR, 1.26) and number of SNF visits (IRR, 1.45) were also observed for ADRD compared to normal cognition. These findings suggest that CIND or ADRD was not associated with hospital use but was significantly associated with increased SNF use.","PeriodicalId":47970,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Gerontology","volume":" ","pages":"7334648251333496"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144056719","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}

To contribute to the understanding of this issue in the Global South, we estimated the prevalence of loneliness and analyzed the association between sociodemographic characteristics, digital social isolation, and loneliness in older adults living alone, during the COVID-19 lockdown in Mexico. Data were drawn from the National Health and Nutrition Survey (ENSANUT) Continua COVID-19 conducted in 2020. The prevalence of loneliness was 49.8% (95% confidence interval [CI] 44.7-54.8); while the prevalence of digital social isolation was 45.3% (95% CI 40.5-50.2). A multivariate logistic regression model demonstrated that lack of education (odds ratio [OR] = 2.40, 95% CI 1.23-4.69; p = .011) and widowhood (OR = 2.51, 95% CI 1.54-4.10; p < .001) were significantly associated with loneliness. Identifying the sociodemographic characteristics of older adults living alone who are most likely to feel lonely can inform the designing of targeted interventions and policies to address loneliness in this vulnerable group.","PeriodicalId":47970,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Gerontology","volume":" ","pages":"7334648251323689"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143781609","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}

Drawing from the 2020 China Longitudinal Aging Social Survey data (CLASS) (N = 9,883), we employed OLS regression models and the bootstrap approach to assess the association between retirement and depressive symptoms and the mediating effect of engagement in leisure activities. Results showed that retirement is associated with reduced depressive symptoms among older adults in China. Besides, engagement in leisure activities including group and individual activities partially mediated the average association between retirement and depressive symptoms, and individual activities exert stronger mediating effects than group activities. China should take small steps to raise the retirement age and implement its flexibility. A promising strategy to prevent depressive symptoms entails encouraging retirees to engage more in leisure activities, especially individual activities.","PeriodicalId":47970,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Gerontology","volume":" ","pages":"7334648251328139"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143774516","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}
