Ecological and multilevel analyses of 71,824 older adults across 145 communities revealed that the community's age-friendliness consistently showed associations with health and well-being. Age-friendly physical environments (accessibility to barrier-free outdoor spaces, buildings, and transportation resources) exhibited an inverse association with functional health deficits. Social engagement and communication (participation in community groups, volunteer engagement, and information use) were inversely associated with depressive symptoms. Social inclusion and dementia-friendliness (respect and inclusion for older adults and positive attitudes toward people with dementia) were positively associated with happiness. Community's age-friendliness is well-linked to the multiple aspects of older adults' health and well-being, underscoring the AFC promotion for healthy aging.","PeriodicalId":47970,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Gerontology","volume":" ","pages":"7334648251352306"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144486583","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 mixed-methods pre-post-intervention study was conducted in two nursing homes and the community. Quantitative measures were collected for frailty, physical function, and quality of life for all participants pre-implementation and 12 weeks post-implementation. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with a sub-group of participants and allied health professionals involved in the intervention. Participants' (n = 50) physical function increased (SPPB 4.2 vs. 4.9) while frailty (FRAIL-NH 6.0 vs. 5.5) and quality of life (16 vs. 16) were maintained. There was a high retention (93%) and attendance rate (84%), indicating acceptability. Participants received a daily median of 16 allied health minutes, costing $26AUD. Findings confirm acceptability and feasibility of the model with potential to maintain or improve clinical outcomes. Future work is needed to define long-term outcomes, scalability and sustainability.

Some populations such as older adults may not have the tools nor the understanding to successfully use telehealth. We describe two cases where GrandPad, a tablet designed for older adults, was implemented at the University of California, San Francisco in (1) a home-based primary care practice and (2) a dementia specialty clinic. Using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research, we assess the barriers and facilitators to implementing GrandPad and present user outcomes. Most participants found GrandPad easy and comfortable to use, though there were mixed results about connecting with the provider's office. Our implementation science analysis demonstrates that GrandPad may best be used when there is otherwise no access to telehealth, where there are frequent visits, and a need for continuity of care. Successful implementation includes clear integration into existing clinic processes, understanding users' abilities, reducing provider barriers, and fostering potential users' interest.","PeriodicalId":47970,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Gerontology","volume":" ","pages":"7334648251343513"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144477284","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}

We investigated factors influencing native care workers' concerns and reluctance toward accepting FBCWs in Japan from four areas. Native care workers (N = 1060) in 10 geriatric care facilities (response rate = 71%), recruited using convenience sampling considering the regional job vacancies, responded to a self-report questionnaire survey. After excluding ineligible data (e.g., for day-care facilities) or missing data, the analysis included 589 participants (67.2% women, Mage = 42.63 ± 12.16 years). Results indicated that facilities not accepting FBCWs had significant concerns about managerial positions and job stress. Native care workers with concerns about accepting FBCWs and those working 50+ hours per week were three times more reluctant to accept FBCWs. However, ethical leadership reduced this reluctance. Therefore, facility employers in aging countries must address native care workers' concerns and ensure workplace improvement before hiring FBCWs.","PeriodicalId":47970,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Gerontology","volume":" ","pages":"7334648251353261"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144477351","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 an online scenario-based survey describing hypothetical individuals with health vulnerabilities, we examined the attitudes of middle-aged and older adults (N = 737) toward mobile and wearable devices for (1) predicting cognitive decline, (2) suggesting health behaviors, and (3) diagnosing diseases. Our results showed that the presence of health vulnerability was associated with higher perceived usefulness, lower privacy concerns, and greater intention to adopt these devices. Additionally, technological readiness, experiences, and various demographic factors influence attitudes, highlighting the complex structure shaping attitudinal barriers against adoption of these devices. These results emphasize the need for more tailored market segmentation and strategies to enhance the adoption of health-related gerotechnologies while addressing privacy concerns.","PeriodicalId":47970,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Gerontology","volume":" ","pages":"7334648251349907"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144477349","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}

We performed a scoping review of 22 empirical studies to examine how the literature has defined digital literacy in dementia care, followed by a concept analysis to conceptualize digital literacy's antecedents, attributes, and consequences. Our analysis revealed three antecedents of digital literacy: technology-enhanced support systems, individual characteristics, and sociodemographic characteristics, which collectively impact persons with dementia and their caregivers' abilities to utilize digital resources effectively. We identified two critical attributes-technological skills and critical thinking skills-to evaluate digital health information. Our findings revealed that digital literacy is tied to several important consequences: technology acceptance, impacts on psychosocial factors, and the promotion of digital equity. These findings provide a foundation for future research that can incorporate the core components of digital literacy when designing technology-mediated interventions. While our findings conceptualized digital literacy among persons living with dementia and their caregivers, more research is needed to promote standardized terminology and consider the digital literacy level of end-users in developing technology-mediated interventions in the future.","PeriodicalId":47970,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Gerontology","volume":" ","pages":"7334648251348703"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144334214","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}
