It used qualitative questionnaires with residents, family members and nurses ( n =15); staff observation and researcher-participant observation over a five-day period; and two one-to-one interviews held at the end of the project with a care lead and a management lead in the care homes.Findings: The introduction of outdoor percussion instruments offered new insights into how music can help residents, families, nurses and carers in care home settings. The study findings demonstrated the instruments' potential impact on facilitating intergenerational interactions, encouraging meaningful activity, enhancing motivation and mood, and improving cognitive stimulation.Conclusion: The pilot study provided valuable preliminary indicative, qualitative insights into the introduction, use and evaluation of outdoor percussion instruments in a care home setting. Further research is warranted to explore the impact of the instruments in the wider nursing care context.","PeriodicalId":94162,"journal":{"name":"Nursing older people","volume":" ","pages":"25-32"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148633277","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It may indicate an acute infection, heart failure, chronic respiratory disease exacerbation, pulmonary embolism or other serious pathology. Telephone consultations enable nurses to assess the patient rapidly and direct them to appropriate care. However, the absence of direct observation, physical examination and independent measurement of physiological parameters means that a structured and systematic approach to the telephone assessment of breathlessness is required. • Telephone consultations can make it more challenging to assess symptom severity and identify clinical deterioration in older people. • Older people with a new or worsening respiratory condition may present with less obvious breathlessness and more non-specific features such as fatigue, confusion or reduced ability to carry out their daily activities. These atypical presentations can make clinical deterioration more difficult to recognise. • Using a structured approach can support clinical decision-making and help nurses recognise when escalation to emergency services or same-day face-to-face review by a GP is required. REFLECTIVE ACTIVITY: 'How to' articles can help update your practice. Apply this article to your practice and reflect on: • How this structured approach will change the way you undertake telephone consultations with older people experiencing breathlessness. • How you could use this information to support the learning of nursing students or colleagues.","PeriodicalId":94162,"journal":{"name":"Nursing older people","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148914915","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A neurologist interviewed residents and assessed their cognition, function and behavioural symptoms. This was complemented by information from residents' medical records and interviews with one member of staff per resident. Factors associated with dementia were explored using a matched case-control approach.Results: The overall dementia prevalence was 25%, with a higher prevalence among female residents and residents aged 65 years and older. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed statistically significant associations between dementia and age, smoking status and number of comorbidities. The number of comorbidities was inversely associated with dementia.Conclusion: This study provides the first national estimate of dementia prevalence among nursing home residents in Jordan. Dementia prevalence was lower than that reported in many developed countries, but Jordan's population is rapidly ageing so dementia prevalence is likely to increase in the coming years.","PeriodicalId":94162,"journal":{"name":"Nursing older people","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148803865","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, there is limited research on resilience in this population group.Aim: To explore how migration experiences shape resilience among older Greek migrants in Australia, providing key insights for nurses who support these individuals.Method: This study employed a qualitative, descriptive phenomenological approach to explore the experiences of Greek migrants who had relocated to Australia, and to discuss their experiences of ageing in their new country. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with six participants, all of whom were women, and the data were thematically analysed.Findings: Three themes were identified: adversity, resilience through adversity and maintaining identity. The participants described experiencing various challenges, such as navigating two cultures during migration, settling into their new country and raising their families while working. These challenges often contributed to their resilience and well-being in later life. The participants also noted receiving support from cultural connections and the identity they derived from their Greek culture.Conclusion: Resilience in older migrants can be an outcome of the adversity they have experienced across the lifespan. Nurses can support older migrants to build on this resilience and develop stronger community connections, thereby enabling them to better manage challenges that may arise as they age.","PeriodicalId":94162,"journal":{"name":"Nursing older people","volume":" ","pages":"25-32"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147847848","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
