Abstract:
Objectives: The need for informal caregiving has been rapidly increasing across several countries. Spouses comprise a sizeable segment of informal caregivers and typically represent an older cohort with special health concerns. The objective of this review was to examine psychological health outcomes in older adult spouses caring for older adults. Methods: Literature review/synthesis (1999—2009). Results: Compared to demographically matched married non-caregiving controls, older adult spousal caregivers experienced more cognitive functioning difficulties, strain, distress, stress, loneliness, depression, anxiety and poorer mental health. Caregivers of spouses with cognitive impairments, quite often wives, were especially affected by poor psychological health, as were caregivers who were new to the caregiving role and those who rated caregiving as stressful. Psychological health improved when the caregiving role ceased. Discussion: Several poor psychological outcomes were found in older adults caring for their spouses; the magnitude of which varied and were more pronounced under certain circumstances. To preserve caregiver health, maintain recipient health and care quality and avoid exceeding system of care capacity, efforts are needed to provide support to older adult spousal caregivers and recipients. Couples may need to be assessed as a unit, taking gender and cultural considerations into account, and additional resources may be required.

Abstract:
PurposeCaring for older adults is an increasingly complex and multi-dimensional global concern. This article provides a comprehensive definition of the older adult care experience and discusses its key components to help practitioners deliver older adult-centered care to maximize well-being outcomes for older adults.Design/methodology/approachBased on prior research on service operations, service experience, person-centered care and the unique, evolving needs of older adults regarding their care, this paper develops a conceptual framework in which the older adult care experience is the central construct, and key dimensions of well-being are the outcomes.FindingsThe older adult care experience is shaped by older adults' perceptions and evaluations of the care that they receive. Older adult-centered care has autonomy, dignity, unique needs and social environment as its core dimensions and results in those older adults feel empowered, respected, engaged and connected as part of their experience. The article also discusses how such experience can be evaluated by using quality dimensions from service operations, hospitality and healthcare contexts, and challenges that service firms may face in creating older adult care experience.Research limitations/implicationsGiven the changing demographics and unique needs of older adults, it is an imperative for academics and practitioners to have an understanding of what determines older adult care experience to better serve them. Such understanding is important as by creating and fostering older adult care experience, service organizations can contribute to individual and societal well-being.Originality/valueTo the authors' best knowledge, this is the first paper to provide a comprehensive conceptualization of the older adult care experience.

Abstract:
Abstract Even though the coresidence of older parents and their adult children is no longer a rare phenomenon in current society, a little is known about the benefit of living with adult children from older adults’ perspectives compared to the risk of this living situation. Previous research suggests that older adults’ psychological well-being is low when they live with their adult children, and this become more salient among single parents, such as widowed or divorced. The current paper utilizes the National Health Measurement Study with a sample of age 55 and over, and their SF-36 Mental Health Component score, and psychological well-being self-acceptance score was measured. Path analysis reveals while mental health and psychological well-being scores are lower among single older adults at the time of the survey (e.g., divorced, widowed) than non-single, coresidence of older adults and adult children completely mediates the negative relationship between being single and both mental health psychological well-being. A complete mediation effect of living with an adult child on older adults’ mental health and psychological well-being is consistent with both white and non-white minority older adults. This suggests that living with adult child benefits older adults’ mental health and psychological well-being. The current study seeks to stimulate ideas that might generate the next answer to community-based care in our current aging society.

Abstract:
Abstract. This paper explores the impact of growing up with an older adult in the home on one’s attitudes toward older adults. We surveyed 309 participants for their opinions on older adults, whether they grew up living with an older adult, and whether the older adult they lived with was ill. Those who grew up with an older adult had significantly lower opinions of the elderly but had less anxiety around their own aging process. This negative impact of contact seemed especially pronounced if the older adult was ill. Results indicate that although contact in and of itself can have a positive benefit on opinions toward the elderly, the nature of the relationship impacts the effectiveness of the contact.

Abstract:
Background: Older adults are not adopting personal health records (PHRs) at the same rates as other adult populations. Disparities in adoption rates are also reported in older adult subgroups. The variability in adoption may be because PHRs are not designed to meet older adult users.Objective: We analyzed PHR evaluation studies to examine the characteristics and perspectives of older adult study participants to identify their self-reported needs.Method: We searched Medline, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and Embase for PHR evaluation studies that involved older adult participants.Results: 1017 abstracts were identified, and 179 publications went through full text review. 10 publications met inclusion criteria. These publications described studies conducted in 3 countries, and evaluated 7 PHRs. Homogeneity was found in the study populations and participant opinions of the systems.Discussion: Many PHR evaluations do not include diverse older adult participants. This may lead to consistency in outcomes, but it also may create gaps in identifying user needs. Additional studies, specifically targeting diverse older adult participants, are needed to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the opinions of older adults on PHRs and how these systems could benefit older adult healthcare consumers.Conclusion: The body of research shows that older adults are highly satisfied using PHRs. These outcomes may be generalizable because most PHR evaluation studies do not include diverse older adult participants. This lack of participant diversity may be contributing to the disparities observed in PHR adoption rates.

Abstract:
In order to create more efficient, useful alcohol treatment and intervention methods tailored specifically for the older population, it is important to understand the reasons that older adults perceive that they consume alcohol. For this reason, this study explored older adults’ perceptions regarding why they use alcohol. Older adults, age 60 and older, were surveyed through questionnaires completed at senior community centers within San Bernardino County. This was a mixed method design that used qualitative and quantitative analysis for the purpose of exploring the most frequently reported reasons for why older adults use alcohol. The main finding of the study is that older adults in the sample most frequently reported using alcohol for “having fun and celebration” and for “social reasons.” However, it is important to note that older adults reported a variety of motivations for using alcohol. Further research is suggested to determine correlations between demographics, alcohol use patterns, and older adults’ perceptions of why they use alcohol.

Abstract:
This thesis is organised into two volumes. The first comprises a literature review and a research report which explored experiences related to substance use and misuse in older adulthood. The second volume is a collection of Clinical Practice Reports. Volume One includes a literature review entitled “Older adults’ experiences of substance use: a systematic narrative review of qualitative literature” and an empirical research paper which was designed to explore experiences of an adult with children who was also providing care or support for their parent who had an alcohol use problem. Volume Two is made up of five reports. The first presents psychodynamic and cognitive formulations of depression and anxiety experienced by a 33-year-old woman, whilst the second is a case study of cognitive therapy completed with a 23-year-old man with obsessional thoughts and associated notions of inflated responsibility. The third report describes an evaluation of the proposed development of a community forensic service for people with a learning disability, with an evaluation of an intervention based on solution focused therapy with a 69-year-old woman experiencing depression and anxiety being the penultimate report. The volume ends with a summary of an oral presentation detailing the development of an outcome measure for a children’s centre.

Abstract:
Objective. Guided by Pearlin's stress process model, this study explored the health of the adult children caregivers for older adults in mainland China. Methods. Data were from a nationally representative sample of respondents aged 45+ (N=13,204) who participated in the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study Wave 2 (2013). Using logistic regression techniques, the first analysis focused on the relationship between caregiver status and social determinants of health and health disparities. For the second analysis, the moderating effect of employment status on caregiving time and depressive symptoms among 1,082 adult children caregivers was examined using multiple linear regression. Results. Adult children who were women, urban residents, younger, married, and had high school or more education were more likely to be caregivers than non-caregivers. Caregivers were more likely to live alone or live in three generation households and report fewer difficulties with physical functions compared to non-caregivers. Among caregivers, adult children who spent more hours providing care were more likely to experience more depressive symptoms as were adult children who were working outside of the home. The effect of caregiving time on depressive symptoms was moderated by employment status and gender. Unemployed men caregivers who spent more hours providing care reported the most depressive symptoms. Conversely, unemployed men caregivers who spent fewer hours providing care reported lowest level of depressive symptoms.

Full text
Abstract:
Research has shown that young adults treat older adults with less blame and more forgiveness when they commit a social transgression. This study sought to understand whether the stereotype of an assumed positive personality and/or a supposed lack of cognitive ability are potential driving forces behind the greater leniency that young adults display toward older transgressors. Seventy-five young adult participants were randomly assigned to one of five experimental conditions. Participants’ aging stereotypes were primed with one of four paragraphs that depicted older adults as (a) socially warm and cognitively competent, (b) socially cold but cognitively competent, (c) socially warm but cognitively incompetent, or (d) socially cold and cognitively incompetent. A fifth group of participants was assigned to a control condition in which aging stereotypes were not deliberately activated. Participants then read 16 vignettes that varied in terms of (1) the age of the transgressor, (2) how socially close the participant is to the transgressor, and (3) the severity of the transgression. After reading each individual vignette, participants indicated how much they blamed the transgressor for the outcome, and how likely they would be to forgive him or her despite the outcome. Relative to younger transgressors, older transgressors were blamed less, and had a higher likelihood of receiving forgiveness. Participants were also more likely to forgive and less likely to blame transgressors after having been primed with a stereotypical older adult who is socially warm but cognitively incompetent. Inconsistent with expectations, the effect was not unique to the rating of older adult transgressors; it also applied to young transgressors.

Abstract:
Is it unavoidable fact that the interface of a program will change when the program is updated. It is a well-known problem that such changes lead to usability issues, even if the new interface in itself is usable. In increasingly digitalized society where using computers and the Internet is no longer a matter of interest, but a necessity to manage everyday life, it is important that older generation is included in the rapid development. Older adults generally suffer from physical, motor and cognitive decline that can create barrier to using computers. Changing interface can be particularly problematic for this age group, and a smooth transition from the old interface to the new one is needed. Fifteen older and five younger computer users were recruited, to study how a drastically modified computer interface influences older adults as computer users. Internet Explorer 10 for Windows 8 was used as testing software for the case study where the participants were asked to conduct a series of tasks to observe the effects of first time experience with the new interface. The attitudes and the emotions towards the new interface, as well as the difficulties encountered during the first time use were studied in the thesis. The result showed the clear difference between the younger and older participants. Older participants generally had a more positive attitude towards the new browser, even though they encountered more difficulties during the test. The younger participants managed to complete the tasks with less assistance, but were skeptical towards the new interface. Despite the differences in the emotional reactions, both groups were reluctant to update to the new interface, which was shown to be particularly problematic for older participants. The result of the study indicates that an interface that undergoes major restructuring is most likely to be problematic for senior computer users. Thus, there is a need for a bridging strategy between the old and the new interface.

Abstract:
This secondary research study uses data from two convenience samples of homeless persons in Central Arkansas collected during 2004 and 2011 Point in Time Counts. The prevalence of predictors of homelessness are compared across years, and also compared by age (<50 and > 50) controlling for year of survey. The number of older adults increased significantly between 2004 and 2011 surveys, and reporting serious mental illness and veteran status significantly decreased from 2004 to 2011. Age differences were noted in 2004 with older adults more likely to report serious mental illness in comparison to younger adults. Older adults were also more likely to report veteran status in comparison to younger adults during both the 2004 and 2011 surveys. The predictors of homelessness -- including serious health problems, substance abuse, race, age, and developmental disabilities-- remained fairly consistent from 2004 to 2011 and across "age groups". In addition to Point in Time data, qualitative surveys and interviews of providers were performed for their observations of the older homeless population. Providers indicated their belief that the older homeless population is increasing. Providers suggested possible challenges and reasons for the increase among older adults who are homeless. In central Arkansas, service providers feel the current economy, programs, and agencies that provide homeless services and funding sources are adequate at this time as evidenced by no increase in numbers. Due to new funding, improvement has occurred with the veteran population through VA programs. Even though this research did not find any change in gender, the providers feel that for future homeless, trends in gender (women in poverty), as well as older adults becoming homeless for the first time, should be watched in addition to other predictive factors such as the economy, increase in substance abuse, and physical and mental health concerns.

Abstract:
Review question / Objective: “How is the concept of physical literacy characterized in older adults?”. P – People in their older adult years. C – Physical literacy. C – Any context. Eligibility criteria: Studies will be assessed for inclusion in the review according to the following criteria: Study Design: We will only include studies that investigate the physical literacy throughout older adult life. This includes primary research (peer-reviewed research arti-cles), evidence synthesis (narrative reviews, systematic reviews, scoping reviews, rapid re-views, etc.), conference abstracts, discussion articles, editorials, and thesis. We will not limit the included studies by the sample size of the study. Outcomes: We will include studies examining outcomes under the concept of physical literacy, both quantitatively and qualitatively. Study Population and Additional Characteristics: We will only include studies where the study population meets the MeSH (Medical Subject Headings) "Aged" characteristics: A person 65 years of age or older. We will not limit included studies by their ethnicity, country of origin, economic characteristics, or geographic region. We will limit the studies included by publication date to those published since 2001, since Whithead's physical literacy concept was first described in that year [22]. We will limit included studies to those published in English, Spanish and Portugueses.

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:
Review question / Objective: The objective of this study was to review impact of telecare interventions on quality of life in older adults. Condition being studied: Recently, an increase in the older adult population, their chronic diseases, and functional disabilities have resulted in the need for more healthcare services. Telecare is one of the solutions for caring these people and can improve their quality of life. However, examining the impact of telecare interventions, especially in terms of quality of life in older adults, can help to improve current systems and design better telecare technologies for a wider population in the future. Information sources: Searching articles was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, the Cochrane Library, Embase, IEEExplore, and ProQuest databases, and Google Scholar. If the full text of an article was not available, the corresponding author would be contacted.

Abstract:
Review question / Objective: To identify empirical studies that measured the feasibility and effect of computer-based executive function stimulation and rehabilitation programs in the young and middle adult population. Background: Reviews that evaluate the effectiveness of computerized cognitive training programs on executive functions in different population groups have shown contradictory results, to a certain extent associated with the methodological characteristics of said studies (Gates et al., 2019; 2020); most of them These reviews have focused on older adults (Ten Brinke et al., 2020; Yoo et al., 2015) with stroke sequelae, and adults with cognitive impairment. These studies have found improvements in general cognitive function in older adults (Ten Brinke et al., 2020); however, the effect on executive functions have not been studied. Only one review was carried out on the average adult (Gates et al., 2019); the authors restricted the search to interventions with more than 12 weeks and only found one article with eligibility criteria. Their work concluded that computerized cognitive training in midlife demonstrated lasting effects on general cognitive function after 12 weeks of training and on memory after 24 weeks of training.
