We interviewed 20 nurses working on four units in an academic medical center. Conventional content analysis was used to analyze the data.Results: Five themes were discovered: (1) Nurses' Descriptions of PLWD Perioperative Experience; (2) Nurses' Descriptions of Caregivers' Perioperative Experience; (3) Nurses' Work; (4) Unit Setup and Patient Flow; and (5) Recommendations for Improving Perioperative Care for PLWD. Aspects that complicated care provision included: neuropsychiatric symptoms, cognitive impairment, routine disruption, pain, and insufficient staffing.Conclusion: Working with PLWD is time-consuming for nurses and they frequently lack knowledge and skills to provide high-quality care. Ways to improve perioperative care for PLWD and their caregivers are summarized, including through nurses' baccalaureate and continuing education.","PeriodicalId":51272,"journal":{"name":"Research in Gerontological Nursing","volume":" ","pages":"180-190"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143781571","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}

In multivariable models, PD/LBD caregiving was associated with worse health. Among PD/LBD caregivers, performing medical/nursing tasks was associated with higher odds of strain, loneliness, worse health, and depressive symptoms.Conclusion: PD/LBD caregivers are a distinct group who often experience high-demand caregiving.

Forty older adults were retrieved from a descriptive study. OSA risk was measured by the STOP-BANG questionnaire, and hypertension by self-report and medications used. Spearman rho correlation and two-way analysis of covariance were used in the data analysis.Results: After controlling for covariates (i.e., age, educational years, health conditions, body mass index, and depressive symptoms), older adults with hypertension had poorer memory and attention; older adults with high OSA risk had poorer memory and better executive function. This interaction effect of hypertension and OSA risk on executive function was significant.Conclusion: The association between hypertension and memory and attention and between OSA risk and memory in older adults was supported. The interaction effect was found in executive function but unexpected.
