The intervention was carried out in six sessions over a period of 6 weeks in the form of remote conversations and virtual lessons. Quality of life and relationship quality before and 2 months after the intervention were assessed using the LEIPAD quality of life questionnaire with a score range of 31-124 and the relationship quality questionnaire with a score range of 25-100.

Caregivers have a heightened risk of fear of falling due to the strenuous activities inherent in the caregiving relationship and potential exposure to falls by the care recipient. Cognition is associated with fear of falling; however, cognition's relationship with fear of falling is unclear in the caregiver population. The present study investigated the potential influence of cognitive function on fear of falling in a sample of informal caregivers (n = 50) of persons with a diagnosis of traumatic brain injury or dementia.Method: Cognitive domains of interest included attention, executive function, processing speed, and learning and memory. Worry was assessed with the Penn State Worry Questionnaire and fear of falling was assessed with the Short Falls Efficacy Scale. Hypotheses were tested using hierarchical linear regressions.Results: Executive function had a significant negative association with fear of falling, while processing speed and learning and memory did not. Attention trended toward significance.Conclusion: Findings support fear of falling as a potential situational anxiety construct and executive functioning as a potential cognitive correlate of fear of falling among caregivers.","PeriodicalId":55546,"journal":{"name":"Aging & Mental Health","volume":" ","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143506190","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}

This study explores professionals' perspectives on supporting older adults bereaved by suicide, addressing a critical gap in public health.Method: Semi-structured, in-depth interviews were conducted with professionals, including bereavement support workers, healthcare providers, and suicide prevention specialists. Data were analysed using a reflexive, inductive thematic approach.Results: Four key themes emerged: (1) navigating the complexities of traumatic loss by suicide in later life, (2) the role of community and family support in grief management, (3) professional roles and challenges in providing support, and (4) opportunities for community engagement and meaning-making. Findings emphasise the need for community-centred, culturally sensitive bereavement care that empowers older adults to navigate grief openly.Conclusion: Reducing stigma around suicide, recognising the impact of traumatic loss, and addressing factors that exacerbate grief are crucial to supporting mental health in older adults bereaved by suicide. Integrating bereavement support into community spaces and offering peer-support options can help alleviate isolation and trauma. Health and social care policies should prioritise improving access to services and promoting an inclusive and trauma-informed approach that meets the unique needs of this population.","PeriodicalId":55546,"journal":{"name":"Aging & Mental Health","volume":" ","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143484733","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}

The Preference Match Tracker (PMT) objectively tracks the number of recreation activities NH residents attend that match their important preferences. We explored how PMT data were linked to residents' depressive symptoms over time.Method: The number of preferred and non-preferred activities attended and refused to attend per week were tracked with the PMT for 586 residents over 1 year. We utilized generalized linear modeling to examine the association of preferred/non-preferred attendance/refusals for three depressive symptom groups (none, minimal, depressive symptoms).Results: After accounting for covariates, more attendance was associated with minimal depressive symptoms over time. More total activity refusals and refusals of preferred activities were associated with minimal and mild-to-severe depressive symptoms over time and, more refusals of non-preferred activities was associated with minimal symptoms. Associations were moderated by pain, count of important preferences, cognition, and length of stay.Conclusion: Refusing to attend preferred activities may serve as a marker of distress. Individuals who are cognitively capable and/or living in the NH for <90 days or experiencing pain, who are refusing preferred activities should be monitored for depressive symptoms and their recreational activity participation.","PeriodicalId":55546,"journal":{"name":"Aging & Mental Health","volume":" ","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143484740","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}

Participants and informants reported participants' social engagement and social quality. Using experience sampling (7x/day, nine days), participants reported quantity and quality of their daily interactions.Results: Older adults with MCI had higher well-being than young adults, but lower well-being than CN older adults. Young adults generally had higher social engagement than both older adult groups and lower social quality than CN older adults. Social engagement and quality were both positively associated with well-being, especially among CN older adults.Conclusion: Findings suggest older adults with MCI somewhat maintain age-related advantages in emotional well-being, but not social functioning.

We used a data-driven approach to create subtypes of late-life depression and exploratively visualized the course of depression during either behavioural activation (BA) or treatment as usual (TAU).Method: Among 161 depressed (PHQ ≥ 10) older (≥65 years) participants of a cluster randomized controlled trial in primary care (NL5436), we performed latent class analysis (LCA) on individual depressive symptoms and performance on several cognitive tests. The course of depressive symptoms during treatment was plotted to explore whether differences between the classes differed between BA and TAU.Results: Five classes best fitted the data: (1) mild depression without cognitive deficits, (2) moderate depression with insomnia and cognitive deficits, (3) severe depression with cognitive deficits, (4) moderately severe depression with hypersomnia and cognitive deficits, and (5) moderately severe depression with cognitive-affective symptoms but no cognitive deficits. Graphs showed that depressive symptoms of subgroups with severe depressive symptoms improved more during BA compared to TAU, regardless of cognitive deficits.Conclusions: We identified five subgroups. Graphs suggest that effectiveness of BA is similar across all subgroups, whereas TAU seems less effective in the more severely depressed subgroups.
