Racial differences in the quality of care interactions among nursing home residents with dementia
The findings suggest that care interactions in nursing homes are consistent between Black residents and White residents. Future research should evaluate the impact of staff race on the quality of care interaction among nursing home residents
Differences in Medication Use by Gender and Race in Hospitalized Persons Living with Dementia
Gender differences in interactions and depressive symptoms among hospitalized older patients living with dementia
Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia (ADRD) disproportionately affects women with two-thirds of individuals with ADRD comprised of women. This study examined gender-related differences in the quality of staff-patient interactions and depressive symptoms among hospitalized older patients living with dementia. This secondary analysis utilized baseline data of 140 hospitalized older patients with dementia who participated in the final cohort of…
Psychometric Properties of the Resilience Scale in Older Adults Post-Hip Fracture
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the modified 25-item Resilience Scale (RS-25) in older adults post-hip fracture using Rasch analysis. Methods: This was a descriptive study using baseline data from the Seventh Baltimore Hip Studies (BHS-7). There were 339 hip fracture patients included in this analysis. Results: Findings suggest there was support for reliability of the measure based on person an…
Psychometrics of the Physical Resilience Scale in Older Adults Living with Dementia
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine if proxies can complete the Physical Resilience Scale for older adults living with dementia. Methods: This was a descriptive study using Rasch analysis and baseline data from the Function Focused Care for Acute Care Using the Evidence Integration Triangle trial. The first 240 patients living with dementia were included in this analysis. Results: There was evidence of reliability based on pers…
Gender differences in presentation and management of behavioral and psychological symptoms associated with dementia among nursing home residents with moderate to severe dementia
Lack of identification and management of behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) can negatively impact female residents. The purpose of this secondary data analysis was to explore gender differences in presentation and management of BPSD and quality of interactions between residents and staff. A total of 553 residents from 55 nursing homes were included. Males exhibited more apathy and sexually inappropriate behavior and females …
Disparities in Physical and Psychological Symptoms in Hospitalized African American and White Persons with Dementia
Objectives: This study examined differences in physical function, delirium, depressive symptoms, and behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) in hospitalized African American and white older adults with dementia. Methods: This secondary data analysis using baseline data from an ongoing trial testing family-centered function-focused care included African American ( n = 159) and white persons ( n =135) with dementia. Results: A mult…
Reliability and Validity Testing of the Assessment of the Environment for Person-Centered Management of BPSD and Assessment of Policies for Person-Centered Management of BPSD Measures
The purpose of this study was to test the reliability and validity of the Assessment of the Environment for Person-Centered Management of BPSD and the Assessment of Policies for Person-Centered Management of BPSD. The sample included 35 long term care facilities. There was evidence of reliability based on internal consistency and test-retest reliability of both measures. There was some evidence of validity based on Rasch model testing and INFIT a…
Developing and Testing a Model of the Assisted Living Environment
The assisted living (AL) environment plays an important role in supporting residents' satisfaction and helping them to age in place. The AL environment is multidimensional and has many interrelated components including staffing (e.g. direct care workers, nursing, activity staff), services provided (e.g. medical, mental health, pharmacy), amenities offered at the setting (e.g. beauty salon, library, exercise facilities), and the physical environme…
Future Directions for Research on Human-Animal Interaction in an Aging Population
This final paper in the thematic issue, "Human–Animal Interaction and Healthy Human Aging," highlights and distills key points from the series of papers and provides recommendations for improving and expanding Human–Animal Interaction (HAI) research into healthy human aging. This paper also focuses on translating research to practice and discussing important practical issues related to pet ownership or interaction with companion animals among old…
Relationship of Behavioral Interactions during an Animal-assisted Intervention in Assisted Living to Health-related Outcomes
In recent research involving assisted-living residents with mild to moderate cognitive impairment, a structured 12-week Pet Assisted Living (PAL) intervention led to improved physical activity (PA) and mood. Receipt of intervention is important to the efficacy of behavioral interventions. We assessed the behavioral interactions (BIs: looking at, talking to, touching, giving treats to, brushing, and walking the dog) of residents during PAL interve…
Translation of Function-Focused Care to Assisted Living Facilities
Assisted livings settings are residential settings that provide housing and supportive services for older and disabled adults. Although individuals in assisted living settings are less functionally impaired than those in nursing home settings, they engage in limited amounts of physical activity and decline functionally more rapidly than their peers in nursing homes. Function-focused care for assisted living (FFC-AL) was developed to prevent decli…
Exploring the Factors That Influence Functional Performance Among Nursing Home Residents
These findings indicate that identifying physical and psychosocial variables early in the disablement process will help health care providers tailor medical and restorative care interventions that may help older adults maintain the ability to chair rise
