Each item uses a 5-point scale to assess how independently the person can perform the described function. The grading ranges from 'independent/ability present' to 'dependent/ability absent'.Material and methods: 1593 rehabilitants were included in the study. The FIDA and Barthel Index (BI) assessments were used to measure functional independence at the beginning and at the end of rehabilitation. Item difficulty, discriminatory power (rit = item total correlation) and internal consistency (Cronbach's α) were calculated. The factor structure was tested using a confirmatory factor analysis. Convergent validity was tested by correlating the sum values of the FIDA and the BI.Results: The item difficulties (pi) were in the range between 0.17 ≤ pi ≤ 0.89. The internal consistency was α = 0.94 with item-scale correlations between 0.45 < rit < 0.80. The agreement between FIDA and BI at the start of rehabilitation was r = 0.75. The standardised comparison of the sensitivity to change showed slight advantages for the FIDA. The functional areas that were more severely impaired at the start of rehabilitation showed greater improvements.Conclusion: The FIDA is a change-sensitive assessment instrument that is suitable for assessing functional independence in geriatric patients. The psychometrics and analyses on the validity showed good results.","PeriodicalId":49345,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift Fur Gerontologie Und Geriatrie","volume":" ","pages":"45-50"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2026-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144318474","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The 12 individual interviews were conducted by telephone between March and December 2023 and transcribed verbatim. The contents of the interviews were summarized using the qualitative content analysis according to Mayring in the data analysis software MAXQDA12.Results: The relatives reported a high level of satisfaction with the counselling offered by the Dementia Support Center. Through the counselling they experienced a relief in caring for people with dementia. The good accessibility, high professional competence and empathetic demeanor of the care coordinators were perceived as positive. With respect to the further development of the Dementia Support Center, the relatives wanted the center to be more present and have regular events, such as family meetings.Conclusion: In view of demographic changes and the predicted increase in people with dementia, appropriate counselling services should be expanded and further developed in line with the needs.","PeriodicalId":49345,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift Fur Gerontologie Und Geriatrie","volume":" ","pages":"38-44"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2026-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12823747/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144561730","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The primary intervention is hearing aids (HAs); however, HA acceptance and usage stay low and the psychological mechanisms of HL adaptation remain poorly understood. To address this knowledge gap, we developed a psychometric instrument to assess hearing-related adaptive strategies (AStra).Material and methods: The study was administered via self-report in three different samples (online, paper-pencil, app-based). In total, 169 individuals with subjective HL (mean age 62.51 years; 49.11% female; 57.40% HA users) participated. We included coping measures, subjective HL and HA satisfaction to assess AStra's construct validity, and HA use for criterion-related validity.Results: The AStra demonstrated robust psychometric properties, yielding a three-factor solution with strong internal consistency. AStra showed good construct validity with coping measures and was associated with HA use independently of traditional factors such as age and education.Discussion: The results highlight AStra's utility in understanding hearing-related adaptive strategies and emphasize the proactive role of older adults when dealing with HL. Further research is needed on when, how, and why adaptive strategies are used.Practical recommendations: Adaptive strategy use may be translated into behavioral interventions for people with HL.","PeriodicalId":49345,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift Fur Gerontologie Und Geriatrie","volume":" ","pages":"67-73"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2026-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12823754/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144976374","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to investigate how staff attitudes toward resident safety in long-term care develop in the context of a RoH intervention.Method: A written standardized pre-post survey with 176 participants was conducted, measuring attitudes toward safety risks using the German short version of the attitudes to patient safety questionnaire (G-APSQshort).Results: The G‑APSQshort score significantly increased from 5.4 to 5.6 points (p < 0.001), with care assistants showing the greatest improvement (p < 0.001). Additionally, 77.3% of participants would recommend the RoH concept further and 80.2% expressed a desire for regular RoH interventions.Conclusion: The RoH intervention enhances staff awareness and attitudes toward resident safety, fostering a safety culture and improving care quality in long-term care; however, the practical relevance of the findings requires further evaluation.","PeriodicalId":49345,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift Fur Gerontologie Und Geriatrie","volume":" ","pages":"60-66"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2026-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12823620/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144754991","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Additionally, it examined the challenges and desired changes in the intersectoral communication and collaboration for prevention of POD.Methods: This multicenter study was carried out with a qualitative research approach. To explore the experiences of HCPs a total of 21 semistructured expert interviews were conducted with general practitioners, geriatricians, anesthesiologists, surgeons and nurses across the 2 study regions Salzburg County and South Tyrol. The interviews were analyzed using content analysis.Results: The results show that the interviewed HCPs already implement measures to prevent POD but these predominantly focus on identifying patients at risk in the inpatient sector. Information about risk factors is not systematically shared between disciplines or across the intersectoral continuum of care. Structures and processes for intersectoral communication and collaboration in the prevention of POD over the continuum of care are largely missing.Conclusion: To improve the prevention of POD in older adults efforts should be made to enhance intersectoral and interprofessional collaboration and communication between the HCPs involved. The development of a shared instrument for the systematic identification and documentation of relevant risk factors across the continuum of care could support the prevention of POD.","PeriodicalId":49345,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift Fur Gerontologie Und Geriatrie","volume":" ","pages":"26-31"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2026-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12823623/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144043324","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
