Validity of the LPFS-BF 2.0 and PID-5-BF+M in Older Adults
This study evaluates the validity of the LPFS-BF 2.0 and PID-5-BF+M in older adults, focusing on (a) factor structure, (b) measurement invariance across languages and countries, and (c) nomological network. These tools assess personality functioning and maladaptive traits based on the hybrid/dimensional approaches of personality pathology. Two samples of adults aged 65 and older were recruited: a French-speaking Canadian sample (N = 452) and a Du…
Life stories from lonely older adults
Previous research has highlighted the importance of past life experiences in the theoretical and conceptual understanding of loneliness. However, adding a lifecourse perspective to loneliness research remains underexplored. To comprehend the complexity of loneliness in old age, it is crucial to pay attention to the lifecourse perspective. This study addresses an important lifecourse perspective on loneliness through an in-depth, narrative approac…
Validity of temperament-based clinical personality types in a large sample of psychiatric inpatients
The role of Hospice Care at the end of life
Background: Persons nearing the end of life often prefer to die in their familiar surroundings. Dying at home is, however, not always possible, even when the person is supported by a mobile palliative home care team. As the (complex) care needs increase, informal caregivers are required to be available 24 hours a day and take on a significant portion of clinical care. In some cases, no informal caregiver is available or the informal caregiver(s) …
Ageing well in place
Background: Older people prefer to stay as long as possible in their own home and environment. However, as people age, they are typically confronted with age-related declines on different domains; often leading to multidimensional (physical, psychological, social and environmental) frailty, which is associated with an increased vulnerability to adverse health outcomes and a decrease in wellbeing. In order to age well at home, one must shift from …
Validation of the Audit and Audit-C for Hazardous Drinking in Community-Dwelling Older Adults
The AUDIT-C is accurate and sufficient in screening for hazardous drinking in community-dwelling older adults if the cut-offs are tailored by gender
Gender-related differences in the relationship between social and activity participation and health and subjective well-being in later life
Meanings of Care Convoys
Researchers propose that the convoy of care model should be used to study care networks of frail, older individuals. Care convoys are defined as the evolving collection of individuals who may or may not have close personal connections to the recipient or to one another, but who provide care, including help with activities of daily living (ADLs) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs), socio-emotional care, skilled health care, monitor…
Social Participation in the Daily Lives of Frail Older Adults
Findings advance our knowledge and recognition of the different ways frail older adults participate in society. Despite their frailty, older adults wish to stay socially active. Focusing on the social environment in the frameworks and policies of Age-Friendly Cities and Communities will benefit these individuals
Critical reflections on the blind sides of frailty in later life
Detecting frail, older adults and identifying their strengths
The findings indicate that frailty among older individuals can be considered as a dynamic state and, regardless of frailty, balancing factors are important in maintaining a good QoL. The study investigated not only the deficits, but also the abilities, and resources of frail, older adults. Public policymakers and healthcare organizations are encouraged to include these abilities, supplementary or even complementary to the usual focus on deficits
Relational aspects of mastery for frail, older adults
Frail, older care recipients are often thought of as individuals with a decreased mastery of everyday life skills. Various authors have proposed to acknowledge a relational dimension of mastery, defined as the ability to maintain control over one's life with the help of others. This study explores how frail, older adults experience relational aspects of mastery and the role of their informal caregivers in maintaining these aspects of mastery over…
Socio-demographic, socio-economic and health need differences between types of care use in community-dwelling older adults
This article aims to identify relations between socio-demographic/socio-economic characteristics and the use of informal and formal care. All analyses were performed on data from the Belgian Ageing Studies, a survey among community-dwelling older people (60+) in Belgium. Latent class analyses were used to identify types of care use and bivariate analyses were used to assess differences within these types. Eight different types were identified. Re…
