The reviewed studies lacked exploration of structural characteristics, examination of content, and quality of interactions in older adults' social media use. Health variables, social factors, and age cohort differences could influence the relationship between social media use and depression. Further studies are needed to enhance the understanding and explore the benefits and potential disadvantages of social media use in older adults.

The Family Care Study was a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the preparedness, skill, enrichment, and predictability (PREP) intervention with caregiving families of frail older adults referred for skilled home health. Tailoring of PREP began with assessment by the PREP nurse. Families then identified and selected care-related issues to work on with their PREP nurse; family needs and preferences guided the number and timing of nurse visits and calls. Families selected a median of 3 (range = 0 to 10) care-related issues in five categories: direct care (chosen by 57% of families), transitions (40%), caregiver strain and health (40%), arranging care (33%), and enrichment (22%). The number of issues strongly predicted number of PREP nurse visits and calls, whereas nurse visits in turn predicted caregivers' reports of improved family care and usefulness of home health assistance, highlighting the importance of visits for achieving outcomes.

The preliminary scale draft was constructed by performing a Delphi expert consultation and pretest with a small sample. Using the first draft of the scale, we surveyed 380 older adults with chronic diseases. The BFS for older adults with chronic diseases comprised 26 items. Using exploratory factor analysis, we identified six common factors that explained 66.86% of the variance. Item content validity index ranged from 0.818 to 1.000 and scale content validity index was 0.91. Cronbach's alpha of the scale was 0.924 and test-retest reliability was 0.902.

Historically, three models of care delivery have characterized the way in which nursing care is organized and delivered in different settings: primary nursing, functional nursing, and team nursing. Based on the existing evidence, we call for scientific leadership in the redesign, testing, and implementation of a nursing care delivery model that operationalizes relationship-centered team nursing. This integrative model incorporates successful evidence-based approaches that have the potential to improve quality of care, resident quality of life, and staff quality of work life: clear communication, staff empowerment, coaching styles of supervision, and family/care partner involvement in care processes. In addition to the needed evidence base for NH care delivery models, it is imperative that educational programs incorporate content and clinical experiences that will enable the future nursing workforce to fill the leadership gap in NH care delivery.
