However, several variables, such as experiential avoidance, ambivalence, and guilt feelings or the presence of rigid beliefs about care, may influence the impact of the stressors derived from caregiving. The objective was to identify caregiving profiles based on these variables and to examine their correlates.Method: A total of 456 dementia caregivers participated.Results: The results of latent profile analysis yielded three distinct profiles: (1) flexible, (2) rigid, and (3) ambivalent. The ambivalent profile was mostly composed of younger women who reported higher levels of depression, anxiety, and desire to institutionalize their relative with dementia. The rigid profile showed a lower use of formal resources for caring.Conclusion: Our findings may help clinicians to identify highly vulnerable profiles in caregiving, which may be defined by being a younger woman, devoting fewer hours to caring, and reporting high stress associated with behavioral problems, and high levels of guilt and ambivalence.","PeriodicalId":55546,"journal":{"name":"Aging & Mental Health","volume":" ","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142717805","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}

Interview data were analysed thematically and integrated with literature review findings.Results: People in the Deaf community exhibit higher rates of dementia risk factors (eg obesity, hypertension, diabetes, and depression). Under-diagnosis and under-treatment are more common, likely attributed to language barriers and insufficient Deaf awareness among healthcare staff. Research on the relationship between profound hearing loss and dementia, and the prevalence of dementia among Deaf people, is scarce. Practical changes are needed to tailor dementia assessments and services for Deaf people.Conclusion: Deaf awareness training, health-care information in sign language, and accessible dementia services are crucial for improving healthcare access and outcomes for Deaf people.

The model was also informed by systematic reviews on help-seeking for dementia diagnosis, theories of help-seeking and further iterated based on feedback from a co-design group (n = 10).Results: The model starts with changes which might be symptoms of dementia being observed by the person or family/friends and ends in dementia assessment. Model steps are (1) The person deciding that the changes represent a health problem; (2) obtaining support or confirmation from family/friends that the changes are a health problem; (3) deciding to seek medical help; and (4) persuading the GP to facilitate dementia assessment.

Using the Socio-Ecological Model (SEM), 5 focus groups were conducted to identify individual, interpersonal, institutional, community, and societal barriers.

Strategies to address these barriers involved enhancing accessibility, increasing provider training and support, integrating interventions within clinic operations, fostering community partnerships, and addressing societal misconceptions and biases.Conclusion: Integrating SEM and ERIC frameworks yielded strategies that will be used in My Healthy Brain trial to enhance equity and responsiveness to diverse older adults.

Data were analysed using an abductive analysis approach.Results: Fourteen carers were interviewed. We identified four themes; carers' involvement in providing care for the person with delirium, carers' perspectives of caregiving, support for carers and impact for caregiving on carers. Carers felt a responsibility to support the patient and to obtain information on delirium and its management on their own. Caregiving for a person with delirium had an emotional impact on the carer and they needed to change their lifestyle to maintain their caregiving responsibilities, as a result of the limited support they had.Conclusion: More support for the carer in care plans with focus on emotional support, support groups for carers of people with delirium and assigning a case worker should be taken into consideration when developing interventions for people with delirium at home.

Visual decline may also reduce social engagement, highlighting the need to examine visual changes in concert with broader social function.Method: The relationship between change in visual acuity (logMAR) and cognitive decline was examined in 2,281 participants from the PATH study using hierarchical linear regression. Step 2 determined whether social network significantly enhanced model fit. Exploratory mediation analysis examined the indirect effect of vision change on overall cognition via social networks.Results: Adjusted models showed deterioration in visual acuity significantly predicted poorer cognition across domains (MMSE, β = -0.08, p ≤ 0.001; TMT B-A, β = 0.09, p = 0.004; SDMT, β = -0.07, p ≤ 0.001). Model 2 significantly improved model fit for overall cognition only (MMSE, Fchange(1,1421)= 6.03, p = 0.014). The indirect effect of social network was marginally significant (β = -0.004, SE = 0.002, BCa 95%CI = -0.0088, -0.0002).Conclusion: Deterioration in visual acuity significantly predicted multi-domain cognitive decline highlighting the importance of visual screening and treatment for vision loss.

Multilevel analysis was conducted to examine the hypotheses.Results: Individual-level structural social capital was significantly associated with better cognitive function. Furthermore, individual-level cognitive social capital was negatively associated with cognitive function among older adults with low community-level structural social capital, whereas the above association was positive among those with high community-level structural social capital. Following the same pattern, the associations between community-level structural social capital and cognitive function varied by individual-level cognitive social capital.Conclusion: This research highlights the protective role of individual-level structural social capital in Chinese older adults' cognitive function. It also delivers in-depth insights into the varying associations between social capital and cognitive function across different communities or individuals.

Data collected included ambivalent feelings in couples, marital satisfaction, frequency of arguments, and depressive symptoms.Results: The exploratory factor analysis of the PAS yielded a one factor structure explaining 59% of the variance of ambivalent feelings. Higher ambivalent feelings were associated with lower marital satisfaction, higher frequency of disagreements, and higher depressive symptoms. Even when controlling for covariates, ambivalent feelings contributed significantly to the explanation of depress on.Conclusion: The PAS demonstrates good psychometric properties, making it suitable for use with middle-aged and older adults.
