Abstract:
Abstract Each state requires assisted living (AL) residences to employ an administrator whose job responsibilities include oversight of resident care, managing staff, and regulatory compliance. This study surveyed administrators of 151 AL residences in 7 states. These AL residences reflect 28 license types (e.g., based on level of care, dementia care services). Administrators were asked whether there were any regulations, policies or procedures that required their AL to do any of 11 health-related activities (e.g., staff able to check vital signs, advance directive on file, reporting change in condition to resident’s healthcare provider). Using health services regulatory analysis, we documented the applicable regulations for each of the 151 AL residences, then assessed whether administrator responses were congruent with the licensed requirements. Almost all (95%) administrators of AL residences governed by a licensure requirement regarding change in condition reported this policy in their residence. In contrast, less than half (48%) of administrators who work in an AL in our sample that state law requires to keep an advance directive on file for residents reported that they did not have a policy to do so. Over one-third (37%) of administrators who work in an AL required to have a policy of non-pharmaceutical treatment for residents with dementia said that they did not have this policy in place. Some administrators reported the presence of policies in the absence of state requirements, suggesting that these AL residences exceed minimum requirements. These results vary by AL license type both within and across states.

Abstract:
Abstract Using the push-pull framework, this study describes reasons for relocation and self-reported decisional control in the move to assisted living (AL). A sample of 202 residents of 21 ALs responded to a semi-structured questionnaire regarding their relocation. Participants most commonly relocated from a private local residence (n = 80, 40%), hospital/rehab facility (n = 27, 13%), or private long-distance residence (n = 24, 12%). The most frequently reported pull reasons to relocate to an AL were: “security and safety” (n = 46), “closer to family or friends” (n = 43), and “appearance of the facility” (n = 40). The most frequently reported push reasons to relocate from a previous residence were: “health problems” (n = 94), “others planned the move” (n = 87), and “fear of an accident” (n = 53). On average, participants who moved from other ALs reported the most decisional control in the move (M = 3.94, SD = 1.47), while participants from hospitals/rehab facilities reported the lowest control (M = 2.48, SD = 1.42). On average, participants who relocated from other ALs reported the most pull factors (M = 2.67, SD = 1.15), while participants from independent living communities reported the most push factors (M = 2.53, SD = 1.46). Results suggest that current residents commonly cite safety as both a push and pull reason for relocating to their AL. In addition, reasons for relocation and decisional control varied based on previous residence, which may be useful for identifying AL residents at risk for relocation stress.

Abstract:
Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) is becoming crucial to help governments face the consequences of the emerging ageing population. It aims to motivate independent living of older adults at their place of residence by monitoring their activities in an unobtrusive way. However, challenges are still faced to develop a practical AAL system. One of those challenges is detecting failures in non-intrusive sensors in the presence of the non-deterministic human behaviour. This paper proposes sensor failure detection and isolation system in the AAL environments equipped with event-driven, ambient binary sensors. Association Rule mining is used to extract fault-free correlations between sensors during the nominal behaviour of the resident. Pruning is then applied to obtain a non-redundant set of rules that captures the strongest correlations between sensors. The pruned rules are then monitored in real-time to update the health status of each sensor according to the satisfaction and/or unsatisfaction of rules. A sensor is flagged as faulty when its health status falls below a certain threshold. The results show that detection and isolation of sensors using the proposed method could be achieved using unlabelled datasets and without prior knowledge of the sensors’ topology.

Abstract:
Abstract The decision to evacuate or shelter in place during a natural disaster such as a hurricane is complicated and poses risks to long-term care residents. While research has documented the difficulty of the evacuation decision for nursing home administrators, little is known about how assisted living residence (ALR) administrators make this decision. This is a concern given the physical and cognitive impairment level of many ALR residents, the increasing number of ALRs in the U.S., and the frequency of natural disasters. The purpose of this paper was to explore the factors that influenced whether assisted living administrators evacuated their ALRs for Hurricane Irma, a large hurricane that made landfall on Florida’s Southwest coast in September, 2017. This qualitative study used semi-structured interviews and focus groups with ALR owners or administrative staff (N=60) with questions including how they prepared for Hurricane Irma, their experiences during the hurricane, including whether they evacuated or sheltered in place, and lessons learned. The sample includes small (< 25 beds) and large ALRs in the multiple Florida counties affected by the hurricane. A content analysis approach was used. Atlas.ti version 7 was used for initial and axial coding. Prevalent themes included “emergency management planning”, “logistics”, “pressure”, “storm characteristics,” and “staffing”. The results of this study have implications for long-term care policy and training, potentially leading to changes in how ALR leaders prepare for and respond to disasters to improve the safety of residents.

Abstract:
Assisted living is a fast-growing living option for seniors who require residence-based activities for maintaining mental and physical health. Guided equine interactions may benefit seniors, so an on-site equine program was started at Hacienda at the River senior living community. For research purposes, twenty-four residents and associates, aged fifty-five or over, consented to physiological measurements before, during and after four guided sessions of stroking one of three horses for 10 min over 4–6 weeks. Heart rate variability (HRV) was measured simultaneously in humans and horses during interactions. We hypothesized that human heart rate (HR) and HRV would increase during stroking and HRV power would shift toward the very low frequency (VLF) range common in horses, indicative of healthy function. During stroking, human HR increased (p < 0.05) but HRV (SDRR) and %VLF of HRV power did not change. Diastolic blood pressure (DBP), an exploratory measure, significantly increased after stroking, consistent with arousal. Two horses showed no significant changes in HR or HRV, but one relaxed. Sixteen horse–human pairs demonstrated synchronized HRV peak frequencies during sessions, suggestive of social connection. Participants used more positive than negative words describing their experience during exit interviews (p < 0.05). These data show that horses animate seniors without causing emotional stress and provide opportunities for social bonding.

Abstract:
Abstract To examine to what extent dually eligible beneficiaries (duals) residing in assisted living remain there toward the end of life, we conducted a prospective cohort study of 98,944 Medicare beneficiaries present at validated AL ZIP codes in January 2017, and who died during a two-year follow-up. The outcome was AL residence in the last 30 days of life. We compared decedents who were not duals (80,156 decedents), with those newly dually eligible in 2017-2018 (3,722 decedents), and those already dually eligible in 2016 (15,066 decedents). Only 36.7% of new dual decedents resided in AL in the last 30 days of life, compared to 66.2% among those dually eligible in 2016, and 84.5% of those without Medicaid. While 29 states retained over half of all decedents in AL until death, only 8 states retained a majority of dually eligible decedents.

Abstract:
En réponse à la crise salariale affectant les établissements sanitaires et médico-sociaux ces dernières années, cette recherche explore l'implication des personnels de santé envers leurs établissements, en se concentrant particulièrement sur les établissements d'hébergement pour personnes âgées dépendantes (EHPAD). Face à l'inquiétude exprimée par les personnels de soins concernant notamment les conditions de travail difficiles telles que le manque de personnel, l'absentéisme, les arrêts maladie et le burn-out, leur implication semble être au plus bas, voire absente. La littérature sur l'implication provient principalement des sciences de gestion, appliquée aux entreprises, et aborde peu le contexte des personnels de soin. Cette étude se demande donc si les EHPAD ne pourraient pas, à travers le management, améliorer l'implication de ces personnels. Pour cela, nous envisageons de réaliser une étude sur l'évolution du secteur sanitaire et médico-social face aux nouveaux défis et transformations majeures du secteur. Nous utiliserons des méthodes qualitatives pour mobiliser des outils managériaux qui pourraient renforcer l'implication des personnels de santé envers leur établissement. Après une analyse de la littérature portant notamment sur les théories de l'implication et des concepts connexes tels que l'engagement, la motivation, etc., nous élaborerons une grille pour mieux comprendre la réalité observée et dresserons un état des lieux des systèmes de santé et de la gestion des établissements sanitaires et médico-sociaux en France. En conclusion, l'objectif sera de proposer des outils managériaux pour encourager l'implication des personnels de santé. L'étude de terrain consistera en une observation participante auprès de plusieurs échantillons
In response to the wage crisis affecting healthcare and medico-social establishments in recent years, this research explores the involvement of healthcare staff with their establishments, focusing particularly on residential establishments for dependent elderly people (EHPAD). In the face of concerns expressed by care staff about difficult working conditions such as understaffing, absenteeism, sick leave and burn-out, their involvement appears to be at an all-time low, if not absent. The literature on involvement comes mainly from management sciences, applied to companies, and does not deal much with the context of care staff. This study therefore asks whether EHPADs could improve the involvement of these staff through management. To this end, we plan to carry out a study on the evolution of the health and medico-social sector in the face of major new challenges and transformations. We will use qualitative methods to mobilize managerial tools that could strengthen the involvement of healthcare staff in their establishments. Following an analysis of the literature, focusing in particular on theories of involvement and related concepts such as commitment, motivation, etc., we will develop a grid to better understand the reality observed, and draw up an inventory of healthcare systems and the management of health and medico-social establishments in France. In conclusion, the aim will be to propose managerial tools to encourage the involvement of healthcare staff. The field study will involve participant observation of several samples

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to examine resident policies in assisted living facilities and to recommend consistent policies for resident handbooks. To accomplish this purpose, in the first phase, a mail survey form was developed to determine current resident policies provided in existing assisted living facilities in Virginia. In the second phase, the researcher analyzed each policy from the eight participating assisted living facilities and then compared the policies to determine which policies should be included in resident handbooks. Policies with similar content, but with different names were categorized together. The study employed the content-analysis method, which is oriented to qualitative research. The number of resident policies dealt with in this study totaled 56. The framework for analyzing resident policies was divided into three sections: 1) policies related to administration, 2) policies related to resident services, and 3) resident activities listed in the handbooks.

As a result of content analysis and evaluation of policies as they related to the aging process, a total of 27 recommendations were suggested. Two recommendations were suggested based on the findings of the resident handbooks survey, and 25 recommendations were suggested from analysis of the handbooks. The recommendation of resident policies can help staff to manage assisted living facilities efficiently, and the handbooks will be able to offer prospective residents clear information as they make decisions among various assisted living facilities. Moreover, current residents will benefit from lucid and consistent resident handbooks in that they will provide explicit information about policies and services.

Abstract:
Social contact is known to be vital for older adults' mental and physical health, but few studies of social interactions have taken place in long-term care settings. The current study investigated whether the psychological well-being of assisted living residents was influenced by factors associated with residents' social interactions involving humor. Specific aims of the present study were to develop and test a measure related to humor-related social exchanges, to examine how humor-related social exchanges affect residents' mental health, and to explore whether humor-related social exchanges mediated the effects of resident and facility characteristics on indices of mental health. One hundred and forty older adults residing in 14 assisted living facilities in the Portland, Oregon metropolitan area were interviewed about the frequency and types of social interactions they experienced with members of their facility-based social networks, as well as depression, mood, loneliness, self-esteem, and self-rated health. A 12-item, two-factor model of humor-related social exchanges was identified through confirmatory factor analysis, including both positive and negative humor-related social exchange factors. The newly developed scale displayed evidence of adequate reliability and validly in the current sample. Results indicated that both positive and negative humor-related exchanges were associated with various aspects of mental health, although negative humor-related exchanges appeared to be a stronger predictor of mental health than positive humor-related exchanges. Both positive and negative humor-related exchanges also served as mediators between resident and facility characteristics and indicators of mental health. Cultivating a better understanding of the relationships between humor-related social exchanges and mental health may be beneficial for researchers interested in the way humor impacts older adults' ability to cope with stress. This research may also be of value to long-term care providers who create interventions designed at improving residents' mental health and overall quality of life.

Abstract:
Women outnumber men in assisted living (AL). This gender imbalance promotes the feminization of AL settings and affects men’s social experiences, particularly their co-resident relationships. AL research connects peer relationships to resident well-being and suggests gender that influences co-resident interactions. Yet, few studies have specifically examined men’s social experiences in AL. This analysis aimed to: (1) learn how men experience co-resident relationships in AL; and (2) identify the factors shaping these peer relationships. The analysis utilized qualitative data collected from two AL settings. Data collection involved participant observation and informal and formal in-depth interviews. Analysis was informed by principles of Grounded Theory Method and shows high variability in men’s co-resident connections. A range of individual- and facility-level factors promoted or constrained relationship development. Gender remains pivotal in structuring men’s social engagements. Individual- and facility-level factors often intersected with gender and influenced men’s social lives. Ultimately, co-resident relationships are consequential for men in AL.

Abstract:
Abstract Portugal is a traditional country of emigration with a multigenerational diaspora spread across a large number of countries. In the last 50 years, especially after the 1974 revolution, it developed a welfare state that responds to the needs of residents (including immigrants). Traditionally, this welfare state has been described as fragile in comparison with other welfare regimes in Europe. Nevertheless, it was built as a universal welfare system based on jus solis and deterritorialized jus sanguinis regime. The study of the extension of social protection to Portuguese citizens living abroad had not yet received sufficient attention, albeit recurrent news on measures and strategies that the state put in practice to assist Portuguese emigrants in need. This chapter will survey some of the recent policies to reach citizens abroad by showing the limits of the Portuguese welfare state in action. Through these policies and actions, Portugal projects an image of an always-present state that extents its national powers beyond the limits of its territorially confined borders.

The recent growth of assisted-living facilities, now estimated at over 36,000 facilities serving about 1 million residents (see Hyer & Intrieri, 2006) complements these nursing homes (NHs) within the spectrum of long-term-care (LTC) facilities. The decision to relocate to an LTC facility, such as an NH or assisted-living facility (ALF), is a major transition point in an older adult’s life and the family.

Abstract:
Abstract Assisted living (AL) has been the most rapidly expanding form of residential long-term care in the United States over the past 20 years (American Association for Retired Persons, AARP, 2002; National Center for Assisted Living, NCAL, 2001). Its expansion has been driven largely by state and private sector interest in the reduction of long-term care expenditures as well as consumer backlash toward the nursing home (NH) industry (Hawes, 2001). AL is now widely viewed as an integral, intermediary component of the long-term care continuum that 1lls the gap between home-delivered care and institutional-style care for many elders who cannot live independently in the community (Figure 22.1). Best estimates suggest that over 1 million elders are living in more than 35,000 AL facilities nationwide (Hawes, 2001; Mollica, 2002) and one study of residential care (RC) usage predicts that by the year 2010, more elders will be cared for in the AL setting than in nursing homes (Promatura Group, 2000). In concept, AL is meant to epitomize a “social” model of care, focusing primarily on the creation of a physical and social environment that promotes independence, health, and quality of life and allows residents to “age in place,” minimizing the need to move to another setting (Assisted Living Quality Coalition, ALQC, 1998; NCAL, 2001).

Abstract:
Abstract The complexity of care within the long-term-care (LTC) continuum has increased dramatically over the past several years. This reLects not only increased acuity in the context of exceedingly frail LTC residents but also a demanding regulatory environment. Insight into these factors is vital to optimizing the care rendered by practitioners in LTC settings. In addition, a basic understanding of how general medical care is provided in LTC is a necessary foundation to providing complementary psychiatric care. In this vein, this chapter will provide an overview of nursing homes, their residents, and care providers. Current 1nancing of LTC and legislative inLuences to care will also be described. Finally, recognizing the recent expansion in assisted living facilities providing LTC, this chapter brieLy discusses trends in assisted living, their regulations and 1nancing.

Abstract:
There is significant interest in the development and implementation of smart and intelligent ambient assisted living (AAL) systems that can give daily support to help older people live independently in their homes. Additionally, such systems will lower the expense of healthcare that governments must bear in order to provide support for this group of residents. It also relieves families of the burden of constant and often tedious round-the-clock surveillance of these individuals, allowing them to focus on their own lives and commitments. As a result, recognition, classification, and decision-making for such people's daily activities are critical for the development of appropriate and successful intelligent support systems capable of providing the essential assistance in the correct manner and at the right time.

Abstract:
Management of diabetes in the elderly offers challenges far more complicated than simply keeping blood glucose levels within acceptable limits. Most seniors whether living at home, in assisted-living facilities (ALFs) or in skilled nursing facilities (SNFs), usually will present with multiple health conditions requiring multifaceted drug therapies that not only are complicated in and of themselves but also are affected directly by the health of the residents, their other conditions, and therapies used to treat those conditions.

Abstract:
Providing individualized daily living care is quintessentially important to ensure the quality of life for elderly individuals, especially in nursing homes. Such care involves facilitating independent living, supporting social participation within nursing home settings, and preventing unintentional injuries such as falls. To effectively implement this, caregivers need to thoroughly understand the daily living activities of elderly people and to improve their living environments. The purpose of this study is to develop a system that can assist in planning residents' daily living care through automatically summarizing the daily activities in their rooms using depth cameras that respect privacy. The developed system consists of a function for extracting how elderly individuals use daily objects and another function for classifying behaviors based on the object use activities through hierarchical clustering. This system allows caregivers to understand the daily routines of the residents without predefining behaviors to be identified. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method, the authors applied the method to analyzing 9 days’ worth of activities of an 87-year-old female resident in a nursing home. The experimental results demonstrate that the system was able to detect abnormal behaviors such as the repeated, unnatural use of drawers, without any predefined criteria for abnormal behaviors. The caregivers confirmed the utility of the system in summarizing daily behavior patterns and automatically detecting abnormal behaviors typically seen in elderly individuals with dementia.

Abstract:
Many older adults who are no longer able to live independently due to a combination of impairments need to live in living environments that are adapted to their health conditions. Generally, these are various types of housing, such as nursing or retirement homes, skilled nursing facilities, assisted living facilities, residential care homes, palliative or rehabilitation centres, etc., which can be referred to as long-term care living environments. Although the recent trend in Europe has been to allow older adults to remain living at home as long as possible, the demand for institutionalised forms of long-term care living environments is quite high, and many older adults spend a significant portion of their lives in these settings. In general, the quality of the living environment has a significant impact on the physical and mental health of residents. Therefore, it is important to explore living environments for older adults that not only allow basic existential needs to be met, but also provide humane living conditions. Concepts of long-term care living environments vary from country to country and depend largely on the characteristics of each social and health care system. Among the various concepts of living environments for older adults, nursing homes house a relatively large proportion of the world's population aged 65 and older. The development of nursing home typologies has evolved from traditional to alternative forms which could be illustrated by five-generations model of nursing homes in Europe, whereby alternative types, fourth- and fifth-generation models provide residents with a higher quality of life due to specific architectural features and functional adaptations. The aim of this paper is to introduce some concepts of long-term care living environments in the U.S. and Europe and to analyse models of third-, fourth- and fifth-generation nursing homes, especially the architectural design features that can strongly influence the quality of life of older adults.

Abstract:
The portable patient lift system is a Senior Capstone Design project that is defined through the collaboration between the University of Cincinnati and a retirement/assisted living community in Cincinnati. The objective of the project is to design, build, and test a lift system that is capable of safely lifting fallen elderly patients at assistant living homes out of tight spaces. Two student teams in 2015–2016 and 2016–2017 academic years had taken on this project. They applied the product development process which they learned from their senior year to develop a workable system. Their work started with survey, interviews, research, followed by developing alternative concept designs. The pros and cons of each concept were discussed, analyzed, and evaluated among peers, advisors, and Maple Knoll nurses. The final design of using inflatable method to lift patients was justified as the best option. Two final concept designs from each year were then manufactured or assembled in school. The testing of the final systems were conducted and demonstrated at Maple Knoll senior community. The expectations from nursing staff and senior residents were greatly satisfied. This paper will describe our senior capstone design and product development process of such portable patient lift system, and discuss our experiential learning experience at Maple Knoll and lessons learned from design and making such system with focus on the consideration of seniors and their capabilities at settings of nursing homes.

Abstract:
With the development of urbanization and the continuous development, construction and renewal of the city, the living environment of human beings has also undergone tremendous changes, such as residential community environment and service facilities, urban roads and street spaces, and urban public service formats. And the layout of the facilities, etc., and these are the real needs of people in urban life, but the characteristics of these needs or their problems will inevitably have a certain impact on the user's psychological feelings, thus affecting people's use needs. Then, studying the ways in which urban residents perceive changes in the living environment and how they perceive changes in psychology and emotions will have practical significance and can effectively assist urban management and builders to optimize the living environment of residents. This is also the long-term. One of the topics of greatest interest to urban researchers since then. In the theory of demand hierarchy proposed by American psychologist Abraham Maslow, safety is the basic requirement second only to physiological needs. So safety, especially psychological security, has become one of the basic needs of people in the urban environment. People's perception of the psychological security of the urban environment is also one of the most important indicators in urban environmental assessment. In the past, due to the influence of technical means, the study of urban environmental psychological security often relied on the limited investigation of a small number of respondents. Low-density data is difficult to measure the perceptual results of universality. With the leaping development of the mobile Internet, Internet image data has grown geometrically over time. And with the development of artificial intelligence technology in recent years, image recognition and perception analysis based on machine learning has become possible. The maturity of these technical conditions provides a basis for the study of the urban renewal index evaluation system based on psychological security. In addition to the existing urban visual street furniture data obtained through urban big data collection combined with artificial intelligence image analysis, this paper also proposes a large number of urban living environment psychological assessment data collection strategies. These data are derived from crowdsourcing, and the collection method is limited by the development of cost and technology. At present, the psychological security preference of a large number of users on urban street images is collected by forced selection method, and then obtained by statistical data fitting to obtain urban environmental psychology. Security sense training set. In the future, when the conditions are mature, the brainwave feedback data in the virtual reality scene can be used to carry out the machine learning of psychological security, so as to improve the accuracy of the psychological security data.

Abstract:
The population of Hong Kong is ageing and is expected to gradually increase, and thus an increase in single older people with mild cognitive impairment is expected. This may progress to dementia overtime. By 2064, a third of Hong Kong's total population is expected to be aged 65 or above, which will put extreme pressure on long-term health services and increase social care costs. Studies of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia have mainly been conducted in the west, and evidence-based research addressing the genuine needs of patients with MCI in their daily activities is limited. The home is the central focus of many people's lives, and the elderly will spend most of time in it.The specific objectives of the study are first, to briefly review and explore the common strengths and limitations of public housing in Hong Kong and selected cities; second, to identify the deficiencies of current public housing in terms of universal design and broaden the scope of this approach; third, to develop a model of the relationships among coping strategies for enhancing quality of life, unmet needs and the feeling and concerns of people with MCI living alone.The present ethnographic study is aimed at revealing some of the contemporary concerns about human culture and social interaction. A triangulation study approach is taken, beginning with participatory design workshop followed by participant observations with five residents living alone with MCI, and an in-depth interview with a centre manager who assisted in this study and is a carer for those with dementia.This study suggests that universal design principles are not sufficiently applied in the development of public housing for single elderly people living with MCI. To address this deficit in interior, home furniture and product designs, the concept of a visible reminder has been suggested, which includes multisensory and psychological considerations. Design practitioners should fully utilise this conceptual model when developing universal design furniture for the general public, without stigmatising those with disabilities such as MCI. The coping strategies for improving the quality of life these older people are identified as continued home care and family support, an awareness of universal design principles, social networks and engagement and revisiting public health policies. Governments should take the lead in helping to improve the quality of life of people with MCI through healthcare, social engagement, caring and universal design.

"Is There an Association Between Living in a Rural Area and the Incidence of Postoperative Complications or Hospital Readmissions Following Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) Implantation, Compared to Urban LVAD Recipients?" In 28th Annual Rowan-Virtua Research Day. Rowan University Libraries, 2024. http://dx.doi.org/10.31986/issn.2689-0690_rdw.stratford_research_day.125_2024.

Abstract:
Background: Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are utilized as a therapeutic option for patients with end-stage heart failure. While LVAD implantation can significantly improve survival rates and quality of life, the procedure is not without risks, and postoperative complications are common. This review aims to investigate whether there is an association between living in a rural area and the incidence of postoperative complications or hospital readmissions following LVAD implantation, compared to urban LVAD recipients. Methods: A comprehensive review of the literature was conducted, examining studies that compared postoperative outcomes between rural and urban LVAD recipients. Data were extracted on adverse events, hospitalizations, and mortality rates, with a focus on the impact of geographic location on these outcomes. Results: The review found that rural LVAD recipients may be at a higher risk for certain postoperative complications, such as gastrointestinal bleeding, ventricular arrhythmias, LVAD complications, and stroke. Rural patients also had higher instances of emergency department visits and hospital readmissions. Despite these challenges, survival rates and heart transplantation outcomes at 1 year were similar between rural and urban recipients. However, rural patients exhibited a higher driveline infection rate at 1 year. Conclusion: The findings of this review suggest that rural residency may be associated with an increased risk of certain postoperative complications and hospital readmissions following LVAD implantation. These results highlight the need for tailored healthcare strategies to address the unique challenges faced by rural LVAD recipients. Further research is necessary to fully understand the relationship between geographic location and LVAD outcomes, and to develop interventions that can improve postoperative care for this vulnerable population

Abstract:
The U.S. population is aging rapidly. As people get older, they increasingly face issues such as increased susceptibility to injuries and the need to be assisted with many day-to-day activities. Older adults have the opportunity to opt-in to live in an older adult community (OAC) based on their needs and capabilities. This study comprehensively reviews existing governing development regulations and design criteria related to the older adults’ communities, conducts surveys among people involved with some of these communities in California, and recommends improvements to community design for active living and tiered living communities. This study proposes a new scoring system to evaluate the overall life-space mobility of OACs and the surrounding areas. For each of the ten communities within California, the area's Active Mobility Infrastructure (AMI), both inside and outside, and Permeability (PERM) are assessed. Furthermore, the study aims to comprehend how residents feel about the available facilities and how they are utilized through a survey that includes questions regarding how frequently residents partake in active transportation within and outside their communities and assesses residents’ financial and educational standings. Using Welch’s T-Test, Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient, and a Multinomial Logit Regression model, this study addresses three questions: (1) Are there any statistically significant differences in the transportation connection qualities within and surrounding the older adult communities perceived by their residents? (2) Are there strong correlations between the quality of transport connections and the walking frequency of the residents? (3) What are the main influential factors of walking frequency? The findings from this research can aid transportation professionals in improving the governing development regulations and associated design criteria for better person-environment fit in older living communities.

Abstract:
The COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately impacted people experiencing homelessness. Homeless shelters and hostels, as congregate living spaces for residents with many health vulnerabilities, are highly susceptible to outbreaks of COVID-19. A synthesis of the research-to-date can inform evidence-based practices for infection, prevention, and control strategies at these sites to reduce the prevalence of COVID-19 among both shelter/hostel residents and staff. Methods: A scoping review in accordance with Arksey and O’Malley’s framework will be conducted to identify literature reporting COVID-19 positivity rates among homeless shelter and hostel residents and staff, as well as infection control strategies to prevent outbreaks in these facilities. The focus will be on literature produced in high-income countries. Nine academic literature databases and 11 grey literature databases will be searched for literature from March 2020 to July 2021. Literature screening will be completed by two reviewers and facilitated by Covidence, a systematic review management platform. A third reviewer will be engaged to resolve disagreements and facilitate consensus. A narrative summary of the major themes identified in the literature, numerical counts of relevant data including the COVID-19 positivity rates, and recommendations for different infection control approaches will be produced. Discussion: The synthesis of the research generated on COVID-19 prevalence and prevention in homeless shelters and hostels will assist in establishing best practices to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and other airborne diseases at these facilities in high-income countries while identifying next steps to expand the existing evidence base.

Field Interviewer– Administered Dietary Recalls in Participants’ Homes: A Feasibility Study Using the US Department of Agriculture’s Automated Multiple-Pass Method. RTI Press, May 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.3768/rtipress.2021.mr.0045.2105.

Full text
Abstract:
Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility of administering the Automated Multiple-Pass Method (AMPM), a widely used tool for collecting 24-hour dietary recalls, in participants’ homes by field interviewers. Design: The design included computer-assisted personal interviews led by either a nutritionist (standard) or field interviewer. Portion estimators tested were a set of three-dimensional food models (standard), a two-dimensional food model booklet, or a tablet with digital images rendered via augmented reality. Setting: Residences in central North Carolina. Participants: English-speaking adults. Pregnant women and individuals who were fasting were excluded. Results: Among 133 interviews, most took place in living rooms (52%) or kitchens (22%). Mean interview time was 40 minutes (range 13–90), with no difference by interviewer type or portion estimator, although timing for nutritionist-led interviews declined significantly over the study period. Forty-five percent of participants referenced items from their homes to facilitate recall and portion estimation. Data entry and post-interview coding was evaluated and determined to be consistent with requirements for the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Values for the number of food items consumed, food groups, energy intake (average of 3,011 kcal for men and 2,105 kcal for women), and key nutrients were determined to be plausible and within reasonably expected ranges regardless of interviewer type or portion estimator used. Conclusions: AMPM dietary recall interviews conducted in the home are feasible and may be preferable to clinical administration because of comfort and the opportunity for participants to access home items for recall. AMPMs administered by field interviewers using the food model booklet produced credible nutrition data that was comparable to AMPMs administered by nutritionists. Training field interviewers in dietary recall and conducting home interviews may be sensible choices for nutrition studies when response rates and cost are concerns.
