One investigator conducted in-depth, phone interviews with caregivers of nursing home residents with ADRD (four family caregivers [FCs], three nurse practitioners [NPs]) and seven FCs of older adults with ADRD who lived with them at home. Caregivers described multiple sleep disturbances. Nighttime agitation symptoms were perceived to continue or worsen, and sedating medications and nonpharmacological interventions were required. Adverse impacts on reported well-being were significant, and impacts were grouped into emotional, social, and physical themes. Caregivers said, \"Please don't forget us,\" and requested telehealth support for those at home and technology and human resources for nursing homes to reduce adverse impacts.

The current pragmatic qualitative descriptive study explored sleep among older Korean immigrants, using a focus group with six participants and individual phone interviews with 22 Korean immigrants aged ≥60 years. Transcripts were coded to identify underlying themes. Several thematic categories were identified under six domains: daytime function, getting ready for bed, falling asleep, awakenings during sleep, going back to sleep, and seeking advice from peers. Unhealthy sleep behaviors were found during daytime and bedtime, particularly among those who were retired/unemployed or living alone. Seeking advice from peers was common but none of the advice helped participants sleep. Sleep education programs in Korean-speaking communities can be used to target those who are socially isolated and may benefit older Korean immigrants with sleep difficulties.

A mixed methods design was used with data from: (a) questionnaires on perceived cognitive function and diabetes self-management; (b) continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) reports; and (c) semi-structured interviews. Thirty adults with T2DM (47% female; mean age = 68.5 [SD = 5.2] years) participated. Those who exercised more days per week had more stable glucose. Those who reported fewer days of diet adherence had more hypoglycemia. Participants who reported higher levels of memory dissatisfaction exhibited higher levels of glucose variability. Findings point to the potential of glucose variability as a target to reduce the effect of diabetes on cognitive function. Instruction in recognition of glucose patterns found via CGM can be integrated into self-management education to improve self-management and subsequent glucose control and cognitive function.

A non-equivalent, case-control, quantitative design study using secondary data analysis of medical records from a local community hospital in the Southeast region of the United States was performed over a 3-year period. Relationships between predictor variables and the outcome variable, 31- to 60-day HF rehospitalization, were explored. The full model containing all predictors was not able to distinguish between predictors (χ2[21, N = 188] = 35.77, p = 0.12). However, a condensed model showed that body mass index (BMI) level 1 (<25 kg/m2), BMI level 2 (>25 and <30 kg/m2), age 75 to 80 years, and those taking lipid-lowering agents were significant predictors. Subtype of HF (reduced or preserved) and race did not predict HF rehospitalization within the specified time period. Multiple comorbid risk factors failed to consistently predict rehospitalization, which may reflect dated HF-specific approaches and therapies. Future studies should evaluate contributions of current targeted post-discharge methods or therapies.

Little is known about how administrators coped with the ever-changing mandates (e.g., visitation, testing, communal activities, acceptance of COVID-positive residents). Semi-structured interviews with AL administrators were conducted, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed for meaning and essence using a modified Giorgi's approach. Data analysis showed that administrators experienced a multitude of feelings and actions related to the well-being of staff, residents, and residents' families. Findings also identified the complexity of the constant changes, including limited resources and policy changes, of the AL administrators' lived experiences during the pandemic.
